Your dog won't mind if this arrives too late for Christmas.

Dogs are so much better than people. No judging. No grudging. No posting abrasive political screeds to Facebook. There could never be a dog bridezilla, or a dog douchebag. Dogs live for the moment. Dogs find joy in the small things. Dogs love like they’ve never been hurt.

Every piece of wisdom you’ve ever read on a tea bag: that’s just how dogs live. Every day. Without even trying.

Your dog doesn’t care if you even get it anything for Christmas, much less if that gift arrives after December 25. But when you do give it this bundle of dog toys, whenever that turns out to be, its unguarded gratitude will put you to shame.

Look at how much your best friend loves those Dentley’s Bacon-Filled Shin Bones. Kinda makes you feel stupid for complaining about how the curved glass warped your view of the goal at the hockey game. Check out the sheer joy your dog feels for the Dentley’s Braided Bully Stick and you’ll start to regret that whiny tweet to SouthwestAir about the flat Sprite on your last flight. Compare your dog’s outpouring of joy for the Waverly Rope Toy and Bungee Birds Ball to your bitter, sour complaints about the smell of singed popcorn in the office microwave. Which one of you is going to hell?

You might get this by Christmas. You might not. Take a lesson from your dog: it’s not a big deal. Doggy Christmas is really more about taking a picture that’ll score mad hearts from your Instagram friends. And not just because your dog has no idea what Christmas even is. It’s because every day brings with it a new squirrel to chase, a new itch to scratch, a new butt to sniff. Sure, Christmas is just another day to a dog. Which also means that every day is Christmas.
