Today marks Day 1 of CBV’s 12 Days of Chauncey countdown. Thank you so much for following along on this crazy ride he’s taken us on. We’re actually surprised his holiday wishlist wasn’t completely comprised of this single item.

Mark take a look at some of the dog-themed children's books he's recently received for his soon-to-be-born son. Some favorites go back to his own childhood.

Give your sweetheart a token of your affection with one of these delicious "Be Mine Rover-tines" accompanied by a sloppy kiss. We have one for every type of lover: cuddly sweet, shyly adorable, aggressively affectionate, daringly devoted, and suddenly love-struck. Pick your fave or collect them all!

The other day I sat down at my home computer and found the following poorly-spelled list up on the screen. Apparently our dog has learned to type (and use hyperlinks!), and he has some holiday requests. Behold! I give you: Chauncey Billups Vanderhoff's 2013 Christmas List - The Twelve Days of Chauncey! (With a brief explanation of each item from me.)
