ROTT N CHATTER, December 1992, Volume 1 Number 5 A ROTT N CHRISTMAS T'was the night before Christmas, and all thru the land, Rotts watched for Chip's wagon to give Santa a hand. There were cow hoofs, and rawhide, new leashes so strong. Bones, balls and tug toys, dishes and kongs. When Chip's wagon was loaded, Santa's helpers yelled "THANKS!", as the Rottie took off 'midst ice and snowbanks. As he passed over China, his wagon broke down, but a helpful Giant Panda took him on into town. On to Europe and Asia, Chip started to tire. He wished he were home near a nice cozy fire. The snow became blinding, his ears numbed with cold. Frost on his lashes, OH...how brave and so bold! But Rotties were waiting for Christmas this year, tho' the night was soon ending and daylight was near. Mr. Chip has integrity, he's Majestic and Royal. He had finished his job, for a ROTTIE is loyal. If you wake Christmas morning to a Rott N new toy, Santa Chip paid a visit to bring Christmas joy. So "Merry Christmas ROTTWEILERS, we think you're all great. "Mr. Chip? OH...he's home fast asleep in his crate." jan cooper 1992
