Merry Christmas!
We at RedState hammer Great Britain regularly, because they frankly seem to have lost the plot with their mindless immigration policies and Orwellian censorship efforts. But all is not lost across the Pond, and there are still some free thinkers over there, as evidenced by a doggie day care center that brought joy this holiday season to both canines and humans alike with their creative and fun nativity scenes.
These doggos got to show off for the cameras:
A doggy day care recently brought together some of it’s cutest reenactors as proof that all dogs really do go to heaven.
The Pooches Playhouse in Failsworth, England, went full-on festive and viral this holiday season with a video of a doggy Nativity.
Staffers took 11 of the day care’s pups and dressed them up to reenact the Nativity scene on Dec. 13.
From Baby Jesus to Mary and the Three Wise Men, the fluffy performers posed for the camera just in time for the Christmas season.

Now that’s cute.

I’ve had many a pup, and I can admit: none of mine would have been as well-behaved as this bunch:

If you’re like me, you make your kids dress up and pose for the Christmas card, so why not ask your pets to step up too?
Louise Oliver, who owns Doggy Mad Day Care in Honiley, near Kenilworth, said she had been putting her own twist on the Christmas story since 2021 after being inspired by a film.
"I watched Nativity, which I love, and I thought wouldn't it be great to dress the dogs up and try and do it with them," Ms Oliver said.
"They're so well-behaved and they really do enjoy it," she added. "You do it with your kids so why not your dogs?"
Where I failed as a pet owner, however, was to train them better:
The key to getting all the dogs to sit still for a video of the scene was the training she did with them during the year, the owner said.
"I have the same dogs every week, so when I came to do it, I just sat them down told them to stay and had loads of treats handy," said Ms Oliver.
"I loved it and the owners loved it, so I have carried it on every year," she added.
Not everything is going swimmingly in Great Britain, but this holiday moment is special. Seconds ago, even as I’m writing this, one of my daughters just texted me to ask if she could bring over Maggie, even though the big mutt tends to dig huge holes in my lawn. How could I say no? “Bring on the hound!!” I answered. A lawn is temporary, but a family friend is forever.
A Merry Christmas to you all, and to all the dogs who add a little extra specialness to our lives.
