Are there any other Pups, who feel they may need an extension, too?

So tomorrow is the big day when we unveil the Secret Santas! Pretty exciting! Well, at least 7 of us will, since three of them won’t be posting theirs until New Years Day. I know my Secret Santa won’t be Shadow since he got me last year, but we’ll see what happens.
I got mine all ready to go, and I’ll be posting it tomorrow morning! Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s contributions!

Bishop has told me, he needs an extension for his Secret Santa, so I am adding his name to the extension list, too.
To check, before Christmas Eve, is there any other Pup, who feels they need an extension!?

Merry Christmas, everyone! So it looks like my client for this year’s Secret Santa was Lucky (for like the third time). Since I’m willing to give writing, I looked at the three options he gave me: - The first was a fanfic about his characters, August and Zess, but since I don’t really know those characters very well, I decided to pass on that. - The second option was a fanfic of his four pups trying to find gifts for each other, but he said “No quirks”, which limits me to what I’m allowed to write. - Then he gave a third option, which was a review on a fanfic of his, so I decided to go with that one. “A Visit from Your Uncle” by Shawn Dearly Let me start off by saying he wrote this fanfic in memory to his late uncle, which gave me a wave of sympathy right from the get-go. In this fanfic, Shawn’s main pups get a visit from their uncle along with his owner. Let me start off by saying, I do love Shawn’s characters a lot. They’re pretty fun characters, and reading this fanfic helped me get to know them a little better. - Shawn is a picky eater, and I can relate to that in so many ways. - Balance is kinda the rambunctious and adventurous pup of the group, and I find that to be rather cute. - Blake, I also can relate to because of his taste in video games. - Shane is probably the only one I can’t really see myself relating to that much mostly because of his tastes. Anyway, this was a really cute story, and it’s nice to see how well these pups get along with their uncle. I can relate to that a lot because when I was a kid, I had an uncle I got along very well with, maybe even more than my parents. My only criticism is it’s not grammatically perfect. There are quite a few punctuation errors, but I was still able to distinguish what was going on in the story. I’m sorry if that’s a nitpick, but bad grammar just drives me insane, but thankfully, there wasn’t an overbearing amount of it in this fic. Overall, this was a short and sweet story, and it makes me interested in reading more of Shawn’s stories...if only I had the time to sit and read them. Belchic’s Rating: 9.5/10 I think I made a wise decision on what I chose from my options. Hope my review was substantial enough.

Wow. I’m the only one who revealed his Secret Santa gift so far? I wonder why. Because I was busy doing Christmas Eve stuff. But now I am ready to post up my secret santa. It's for Shadow! ^-^ Shadow is currently helping Foody rebake the Christmas cookies after he ate them all. Foody is helping... though for some reason Foody has made far less than Shadow... Hmm.. Wonder what is taking him so long to roll the dough into cookies?

well here's my secret santa gift for Belchic. Enjoy
It was a snowy day on the farm as Christmas was around the corner, Lucky was pondering what to get Rolly and Cadpig for christmas. “Gotta be something they would like.” Lucky pondered as he walked through the snow as he thought about what to get his two siblings as he walked on by several snow dogs built in the snow. “And I gotta make it good for the two of them” he pondered as he sat down in the snow and thought. “Maybe I can find somebody who can help me.” he said as he went to find help, after asking Jewel and Penny and not getting much of an answer from either of them he decided to ask Two-Tone for ideas. He found Two-Tone in the farmhouse trying to keep warm. “Hey Two-tone, I can use a bit of help.” Lucky said to Two-tone.
“What do you need?” Two-tone asked Lucky as she stretched out a bit.
“Trying to find a good present for Rolly and Cadpig, got any ideas?” Lucky asked
“Hmm, I think I have a few. Or maybe not. Yeah I think I got one.” Two-tone answered. “But we better hurry to the mall before it closes.” She said to Lucky.
“The mall? It's probably packed in there.” Lucky said as he and Two-Tone exited the farmhouse.
“I know, that's why we need to hurry and go there.” Two-Tone responded to Lucky as they headed down the road to Stiffle, once there they headed toward the mall as Lucky predicted it was pretty packed. The pups soon arrived and started to go into the mall only to discover the no dogs allowed sign.
“That's funny, I never saw this sign when Filibuster was here.” Lucky said remembering the time he, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot cut brigade class to meet the president's dog.
“Maybe it wasn't on the entrance you guys went through.” Two-Tone looked at the sign as well.
“We need a way in.” Lucky pondered what to do. They needed a way into the mall without being discovered. Two-Tone took notice of a little girl pushing a baby carriage which obviously contained a baby doll inside it.
“Maybe we can hide in there.” Two-Tone suggested.
“Nah, it probably wouldn't work. That and she'd probably won't take us where we need to go.” Lucky responded to Two-Tone's suggestion. “I do have an idea.” he said.
Soon the two pups were in disguise wearing a trenchcoat and hat and glasses with a fake nose and mustache on it. Lucky was on top while Two-Tone was on the bottom. “Okay let's go.” Lucky said as they headed into the crowded mall. Once inside the pups started to head into stores looking for good gift ideas for Rolly and Cadpig. As they searched the mall, they soon got an idea for Cadpig as they saw yoga mats for sale and decided to get one for her. They also came across a large cheese log that Rolly might like so they decided to purchase it as well. “Told you this was easy.” Lucky told Two-Tone.
“Yes, but no. See we got in but how will we be able to purchase these?” Two-tone asked Lucky.
“aw man, that's something I forgot about.” Lucky tried to come up with a fast solution to their problem. He and Two-Tone were in line as they were going to pay next and now they realized they have no way to pay. As soon as they were next they realized they would be caught for sure. “Two-tone, run!” lucky barked as Two-Tone ran, though she ran pretty blindly as they bolted out of the store without their presents, they also crashed into a nearby bench causing Lucky to tumble out of the coat. “Well so much for that disguise.” he rushed back to help Two-Tone out as they ran out of the mall, they soon ran back onto the farm as snow started to fall.
“Well we blew it at the mall.” Two-Tone said to Lucky.
“Yeah, but don't worry about it. I'm sure they will understand.” Lucky said to Two-tone as they headed into the farmhouse. It was warm as they entered the farmhouse as they joined the other dalmatians whom were at the christmas tree as it was being decorated. Lucky made sure to watch his step to avoid another piney pawitus case. They were greeted by Rolly and Cadpig. “Hey guys.” lucky said to them.
“hey Lucky where were you guys at?” Rolly asked.
“Well.. it's like this.” Lucky began.
“See we went to the mall to get you and Cadpig presents but we didn't have a way to pay for them. Then again we also forgot they don't allow dogs at the mall either.” Two-tone explained as best as she could.
“yeah, we tried to disguise ourselves and almost got through till we realized we had no money to pay for the gifts so we bolted from the mall. Sorry guys.” Lucky said to Cadpig and Rolly.
“Well we appreciate the gesture Lucky, Two-Tone.” Cadpig said. “But I think we already got the best gifts, all of us being here together.” the small pup said as her tail wagged.
“i never would have thought about that.” Lucky said.
“Same here. Although it would be nice to get something cool for christmas too.” Two-tone added in.
“Well Christmas isn't always about getting that cool gift guys. It's also a time to spend with your family and friends.” Cadpig said.
“Wish I had one of those cheeselogs though.” Rolly said as his stomach growled. The pups all returned to the rest of the family that night, soon it was Christmas morning as the pups all tore into their christmas gifts.
“A new yoga mat!” cadpig said as her tail wagged seeing the yoga mat.
“Oh papa! A cheeselog! And a big one at that!' Rolly said as he held the cheeselog in his paws.
“Lucky aren't those...?” Two-tone began to ask Lucky as she saw the two presents they were planning to get for Cadpig and Rolly.
“Yeah, but how did they get here?” Lucky pondered, an idea suddenly hit him. “you don't think...?” Lucky began to ask Two-Tone. “Nah, it couldn't be.” he shook his head.
“Let's just enjoy our Christmas.” Two-Tone told Lucky as she went to join the other pups in opening their presents. Lucky shrugged and followed though he wondered how the two gifts they tried to buy at the mall ended up here and in time for Christmas.
“Yeah.” Lucky said, though if he had to guess then he would have to say that Santa Paws sent those gifts. Oh well least he knew he and his family would have a merry Christmas. Though they were interrupted when they heard a familiar voice from next door complaining about getting a lump of coal in her stocking for Christmas, Lucky chuckled to himself knowing what that was all about.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, PUPS! I hope the day is doing good for all of you, Pups! For the Secret Santa, this year, I am Secret Santa to...GENERAL! So, here we have an Image, based on a Story, which I did for General some years ago! Sandy gets annoyed at how early Christmas begins each year. Some times set up before Halloween is here. So, here we have Sandy sneaking about the scene, and "adjusting" the Decorations what she calls; "Christween". An amalgamation of both the Christmas & Halloween Holiday, with decorations of this festive union on display. Sandy also has Camera to act as her reindeer, who seems more than happy to help with what she's doing here. Although, I think that it would be helpful for Camera to tread with maybe a balance weight for the giant horn on his head. So, here we have both Sandy & Camera sneaking around, looking for whatever decorations can be found, in order to set up the place in the Christween style, but knowing the Dearly Farm, this may take a while. Although, looking at what's on her back, what do you suppose Sandy also has in that sack!?MERRY CHRISTMAS, PUPS! I hope General likes the Secret Santa, and I hope you do, too! *Hugs* What you think of your Secret Santa, General!?

Thanks for the fanfic, Two-Tone! You know, it’s funny, you and I seem to be swapping back and forth every year as each other’s secret Santa’s. I wonder if there’s a pattern here?
