Even the Grinch loves his dog, so of course our Max's need to be spoiled this season too—even more than usual.
Here are the best ways to do it!
1. Homemade puppy cookies

Nothing says 'I love you' more than puppy cookies made with love—plus they're perfect for gifting!
I came across this recipe while searching for a gift to thank a friend for pup-sitting for me (shout-out to you, Justine if you're reading this!). They're super easy to make and only take like, three ingredients. Plus they're all natural and super good for your pup, especially if your fur-baby has a sensitive tummy.
I only baked mine for around 18 minutes so they were a little chewier. But my Cami goes NUTS over them.
She gives them two furry paws up!
2. Matching PJ's

TARGET HAS PATCHING PJ's FOR THE WHOLE FAM!! INCLUDING FOR YOUR PUPPO!
As if we didn't already love Target enough.
Take your Christmas card to the next level by swagging (is this word still acceptable?) it up in matching plaid pajamas with your fur-baby. Make all the other dog-moms jealous with your Christmas flare. And who says we have to limit this to just Christmas? Let's have matching dog-pajamas all the time. Matching dog-pajama parties, matching dog-pajama movie nights, matching dog-pajama sleepovers! This is a purchase to bring infinite happiness for many, many years to come.
3. Handmade punny holiday cards

So, your dog might not appreciate these. But other dog-moms will!
Plus, who doesn't love dog puns? Let me drop some of my favorites for you.
· Happy Howlidays
· Santa Paws (Is Coming to Town)
· Dachshund Through The Snow
· May Your Days Be Hairy and Bright
· Hairy Christmas and a Yappy New Year
And my personal favorite:
· Fleas Navidad
Now pick your favorites, take to Pinterest for some inspiration, and make some Christmas magic. You could even incorporate your pup's paw print if you're feeling extra creative! Everyone loves a homemade card (especially moms), plus it's a super inexpensive way to let someone know you're thinking of them this holiday... or should I say, HOWLiday!
In the words of both Mr. Snow and Mr. Heat Meiser, "I'm too much!"
And with that, Merry pup-mas to all, and to all a goodnight!
