A Very Tasty Christmas!I'm away for Christmas currently, and so Tasty is one of only a few petz I can play with. He is my Christmas pup (but not just for Christmas!) and I'm looking forward to getting to know him through natural raising. Doesn't he look cute in his blue ribbons? 15 'Days' Old
As it's almost Christmas, our first activity together is to decorate the Christmas tree! I'm using Rho's cosy family room OW and the big tree it comes with is quite intimidating! (Tasty it turns out, is intimidated by quite a few things on initial encounter.)
It's time for Tasty to choose some decorations! Intimidating at first of course, but after giving all available boxes a good sniff -
- he went straight for the pinecones and then the dried fruit by Amanda! So those go on the tree! But wait ... it turns out Tasty just wanted to eat the dried fruit after all! And he got very cross when they were put up! ... so off they came! (But no you can't eat them, Tasty!) Ok let's try again ... it's bauble time!
One of each go on, but Tasty insists on more baubles! - - And surveys his work carefully.
Can we add anymore, Tasty? I tempt him with a cute alpaca from Amanda - - and he is sold! An alpaca makes it onto the tree! What a lot of hard work! At this point Tasty is drowsy and ready for a nap - - but I think there is something missing from the tree ... some pretty glowing bulbs! Tasty is not overly convinced - - but ... I add them on anyway (this is a collaboration, after all!)
And here is our finished tree - what do you think? It's almost nap time but first, all that decorating has made Tasty hungry and so he tucks into some dinner in the kitchen. And finally, it's time to return to the family room for a well-earned rest!

Tasty looks like a fun little pup! And he's my favourite colour <3 I like the name tasty; I never thought I'd hear of a pet with that name, haha. I look forward to seeing more of him. Decorating the tree looks fun, where did you get those ornaments?

Decorating the tree looks fun, where did you get those ornaments? Aww thank you, he sure is! Tasty is such a fun name too xD he fits in so well with my own love of food & drink! The tree ornaments were made by Amanda - the alpacas can be downloaded from Amanda's site, Cargo and the pinecones & dried fruit are downloadable from the current Whiskerwick Advent Calendar! What an adorable adventure for such a sweet lil pup!!! I love that he wanted to eat Amanda's natural ornaments XD It's always snacko time in the petz house. It was a real surprise when he gobbled up an orange slice, I didn't know they could be eaten xD I guess it makes sense!! ~~~ 21 'Days' OldTasty has turned 21 in petz days! So we're starting the day off right with a hearty meal of leftovers. Tasty doesn't quite realise it's for eating straight away -
- and decides to sit in it first to groom himself (gotta look your best, I suppose!).
A celebratory handstand before breakfast, as you do, and then finally onto the meal!
Because he is now '21', Tasty gets a collar and license! A blue one of course, to match his bows (by Bunni) with a little star license. (Apologies, I can't remember where I downloaded the collar and tag from!! I will find out and update this when I do!) Now he just needs someone to show off his new attire to! It's time for Tasty to meet Elderflower! Elderflower can't stay long, as she's very busy! It was a positive meeting and the two are sure to be friends. Instead, Tasty plays with a stick -
It's not been a particularly Christmassy day, but a lot of firsts for Tasty!

27 'Days' OldThe days are going quickly and Tasty is growing up fast! Not long now until he'll officially be an adult! I'm not ready, he's such a funny pup. Today, Tasty is going to pick out a Christmas present for Elderflower! To add to the festive feeling, we're going to visit the Snow Scene, so it's time to wrap up warm! Doesn't he look super cool in his winter outfit? Let's head to the snow! All the potential presents are lined up in a row in the snow. Which one will Tasty, pick for Elderflower?
Tasty gets a bit distracted by the sled - - it is his first time in the snow after all! He pushes the presents around and knocks some coal off the snowman. Then he remembers to focus, and takes a look at the options ...
The green shoe smells good! I think this will be the one, Tasty is very excited! He also picks up a bone for himself! Gotta remember to treat yourself too! Now we just need to wrap up Elderflower's gift, so it's back to Tasty's regular look - he loves having his bows back! Then it's time to put Elderflower's gift in a gift box and place it under the tree -
- just in time for Christmas! What will Elderflower think?
Of course, she's chuffed! After lots of shoe-centred playtime, Elderflower grooms Tasty in thanks and the pair settle down for a cosy nap <3

33 'Days' OldIt's been a few days since I've sat down for some casual petzing but for Tasty, it's only been a 'day' - he is 33, which means he is now officially an adult!! I am shook! He's already a keen poser which is great, as soon we'll start pose training so that he can enter the show ring! Christmas is over, but Tasty's Christmas goes on a little longer with a big Advent party! All the amazing petz I adopted from this year's Advent (both here & on WW) will meet Tasty. Then Tasty will graduate to a new thread detailing his life as an adult in the new year! First, let's introduce all of this year's Advent petz! I had planned on just watching the Advent unfold this year, as I am already swamped by the amount of petz waiting to be added to my crew! But there were so many amazing petz donated that I just couldn't resist and Tasty of course kicked things off! So thank you to everyone who donated so many wonderful things and made this Advent really special <3 Advent Adoptions:
You know Tasty by now, bred by Lyric! Around him we have Starburst & Red Velvet hexed by Buck, Why Not hexed by Wapiti, Snowbank by Pinto, Fireside brexed by Penny, Zuzu bred by Amanda, Nativity hexed by Laura, Ruban hexed by Skinstealer & Wapiti, While Dancing hexed by Croag & Pinto, Evergreen bred by Penny and finally Joe hexed by Bunni! What a haul, I am eternally grateful!! <3 Time for the Advent Party!
It started as an massive pile on! Everyone is in that pile in the middle!! Let's get acquainted: Tasty wasn't intimidated by Ruban's size! He's such a softie, just look at that face! The three NIB Dalis of Advent! Unfortunately, both Fireside & Evergreen took issue with Tasty ... in fact there were quite a few scowling faces!! Oh no! But there were burgeoning friendships to be found and lots of playfighting!
Wrestling, leaping and singing with Starburst, Joe & While Dancing.
Sniffing session with Snowbank!
It's time to end the party with another pile-on! And after all that, Tasty is shattered! He falls asleep straight after his dinner. Adulthood, it turns out, is tiring business! Thank you for following A Very Tasty Christmas! Tasty's adventures in adulthood will continue in a new thread. Stay tuned!

Post-Credits SceneI had a last-minute addition to my 2022 Advent Crew, Red Velvet the long-haired Dali hexed by Buck! So before Tasty graduates to his new thread, he has one last Advent meet and greet. Could this be a new friend? ... No! Oh dear, it seems Tasty has an issue making friends! This will definitely be something to work on in future, wish Tasty luck!

Awww I was hoping they'd be friends, but it seems Tasty has different ideas. He's growing up so fast!
