One Santa in Beverly Hills won’t be...

One Santa in Beverly Hills won’t be surprised this weekend if the visitor on his knee licks his face, or tries to claw him.

This Jolly Old Elf will be posing with pet owners’ Fidos and Fifis as part of a fund-raiser for the Friends of Animals Foundation at the Rodeo Collection shopping area.

Prices range from $20 for one wallet-sized shot to show off to the gang at work to $40 for a portrait that’s fit for your nightstand. The proceeds go to the foundation, which finds homes for abandoned animals.

People mostly “bring in dogs and cats, but they do bring in birds, and last year this girl brought in the most precious rat,” said foundation worker Mildred Traeger.

Santa says humbug to tarantulas and snakes, though.

“One year someone brought in a boa constrictor,” said foundation worker Rose Bailes. “Santa said no more. I think he was afraid that the boa’s wish for Christmas was Santa.”

By the way, if you’re looking for one more guilt trip this holiday season, county officials helpfully point out that for the Fidos and Fifis “in our shelters, Christmas time is nothing out of the ordinary.”

But the county says it has set out huge containers at each shelter to “collect canned food, chew toys and other pet goodies.”

And officials wouldn’t mind if some of the gift-givers even decide to adopt a homeless critter.

Meanwhile, in another arena:

An association of cockfighting enthusiasts has accused the county in a federal suit of violating their constitutional rights by forbidding them to breed game birds for other states, where poultry pugilism is legal.

That is, the suit claims the rights of the enthusiasts have been violated, not the birds.

Designer jeans, designer haircuts, designer McDonald’s and, now, what is being billed as a “designer parking facility.” Another first for L.A.!

A six-level, 1,900-space garage, it offers executives the basic necessities: Reserved spots, valets, shuttle buses, copying and fax machines, and special pads between the spaces to cut down on the nicks, dings and dents that usually result when you trust your car to a valet.

Located on Bellanca Avenue near Los Angeles International Airport, it’s called WallyPark, not to be confused with “Wally World,” the amusement park that drove Chevy Chase into a rage in the film, “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”

Annual fee--make that, membership fee--is $50, along with a charge of $10 a day for valet parking ($8 if you leave the parking to yourself).

And, of course, it never hurts to tip the maitre d’.

Before we adjourn, here’s the inspirational message of the week from county Supervisor Pete Schabarum:

“We must rise above the level of mediocrity that is threatening to overwhelm us,” he told the other supervisors after being elected board chairman. “How do we break out of the turkey farm?”

Schabarum said one of his big goals is to fix the elevators in the building where the supervisors gobble each week.
