Who said puppys don't leave a mark?

Well today I had 74 little wonders on my lap. I also had Multi Poo (it a kind of DOG, let's clean it up, I'm Santa), 2 Alaskan Huskies, one Black Lab, a Pug, and a Pomeranian who came to visit.

We had a group of Boy Scouts in the store and some of them saw Santa. I had a great time talking with them as I was also a Boy Scout. I guess Boy Scouts are huge in PA. I also want to mention that the whole troop of Scouts - all 27 - are going for the Eagle Badge together. That is the highest rank a Scout can get, and less than 5% get it nationwide. The reason for the visit was to work on a marine merit badge and Bass Pro Shops (BPS) have a HUGE fish aquarium - it is 2 1/2 stories tall and about 30 feet wide. They learned about the fish and the steps BPS take to safeguard them. Also this BPS has two fish on the Endangered Species List in the tank. They have such strict rule's on the fish...I'd hate to see if something happens to one of them.

I was told that someone took a swim in the tank today; no thanks! Let me say this...that person is on Santa's OTHER list.

Santa would also like to share with sorrow the passing of Santa Mike's father-in-law. He is now trying to make it home for the funeral. Santa Mike will be going back to his chair shortly after the funeral.

Please remember me and Mrs. Claus in your prayers. It can be very hard sometimes on both of us, but Mrs. Claus has to keep an eye on the Factory while I am away.

Keep smiling - you never know if I'm Checking!

Santa Joe
