Notes for Guinny!

I am the mother of exceptional dog-children. Not only are they independent thinkers and extremely beautiful too, (yes, okay, and large and hairy!) but they are also incredibly intelligent. I learned this at Xmas - I would have told you sooner but working 16 hour days does not leave a lot of time!

At Xmas, we decorated our house with all the typical decorations which, naturally, included a much-too-large Christmas tree with so many decorations you couldn't even see the branches!

Around the tree we placed all the presents, making sure to spread them out in such a way as to have a glorious mix of colours and sizes and wrappings - it was picture perfect! I even included a couple of small presents to myself from "Santa" - chocolates - but, of course! I wrapped them and even put a small card on each present so everyone would know these were mine, and because you can't be too careful in a household of chocaholics!

Oh, and of course, Guinny and Ahrran's presents were beneath the tree too - duly wrapped in pretty paper and with a card so we all knew who the parcels belonged to.

I was so pleased to have Christmas shopping over and done with and everybody in the house was excited - well, perhaps with the exception of Ahrran - he doesn't understand such things. Give him a couple of years! I'm just grateful he didn't think it was one of "those" trees! You know, the "cock-a-leg" type tree! (He still gets a little confused with the clothes-line outside.)

Then one morning, we woke up and found wrapping paper all over the lawn, and with a little more searching found proof that one of the dogs had found one of their presents! A smoked, beef flavoured skin hide bone! But hang on... what was that over there? Another one! Someone had taken both Guinny and Ahrran's presents and helped themselves to an early Xmas!! How rude, I thought. Who would do such a despicable thing?

A quick count found that these were the only two presents missing, and whoever had taken them, had been careful to take both Guinny AND Ahrran's!

Unimpressed, I went out and bought a large box of yummy Dog chocs as a replacement, wrapped it up, put a card on it, and stuck it under the tree - right at the back! Well, they had to have something to open on Christmas day with the rest of the family, right?
