Carrow Chekitwice, who is the Supreme Toy Maker in the North Pole, was the one that suggested to Santa and Mrs. Claus that they get this motorcoach. Both he and Santa felt that it was important to see more children throughout the year and not just at December. Santa has to use many helpers or ambassadors to represent him now because there are so many children and he can’t possibly see everyone. I know his real passion is to meet and talk with children so this idea really appealed to him.
We had been staying in several campsites in Southern California, I guess that Mom and Dad were getting used to the coach. This is something I was NOT getting used to. I kind of suspected something was up, as there was a lot of activity, certainly more than usual. Mom and Dad were stocking up on everything. Then, I overheard Santa and Mom discussing traveling to New York City!!!!
Well one fine rainy morning we headed out, traveling down the 5 freeway heading toward the 8 to cross over the mountains and into Arizona. Let me mention again that I hate to travel in this contraption! It makes too much noise and something always seems to be rattling. In fact, every time we went around a curve the drawers would start to slam open and shut. Poor Mom had to get up all the time to close them and just wait for the next curve to repeat the process all over again.
Now, my dad, Santa, is a great driver in the sleigh. I know because he has let me ride with him on several occasions. But I have to tell you I was a little scared going over those mountains in that huge bus! This coach is certainly a reindeer of a different color!
Shake, rattle and roll – we were on our way!

Tasha sounds the airhorn!
When I rode with Dad in his sleigh I could always see outside and more importantly everyone could see me and admire me. I can’t tell you the number of times people would pull up beside us and tell my parents what a beautiful dog they had. I always gave them my best profile.
Anyway, in the motorcoach no one could really see me. I would sit on the sofa, but the windows were tinted and hard to see through. So when Santa and Mom were gone I sat in the driver’s seat. Wow what a view! Now this is what I’m talking about. I could see everything and more importantly people could see me as well.
One time while my parents were checking into an RV park, I accidentally put my paw on the air horn. Jeez, did that make a loud noise! I liked it so much; I decided to do it a few more times. Everyone was running out of the office looking at me. I thought it was very cool, but Mom and Dad weren’t as pleased. They told me not to do it anymore. Sometimes they don’t share my idea of what is fun.
Would you like to share a funny story with me?
