Since we had a late Christmas with all that was going on, Fred was a little peeved. Oh, he was worried about Emma but those unopened presents from our gift exchange buddies Wally and Sammy from The Chronicles of Wallace and Samuel, way over in South Africa, just ate away ate him and put him in a sour mood.
"Talk to the ear 'cause the face don't want to hear it Momma!"
Finally the week after Christmas I decided regardless what was going on, I had to
"Come on Freddie. You and Gloria can open your gifts from Wally and Sammy."
"Really?"
They both had no problem diving right in!
"What is it Freddie? What is it?"
"I don't know Gloria. Get your big snout out of there and I'll see!"
"Rawhide!!"
"Okay, take it and buzz off Gloria and let me at the rest!"
rip,rip,rip
rip, rip, rip.........
"Ahhha! Finally, new toys!"
"Back off Gloria. Don't you see what it says?"
They got three new stuffies!
Which Fred would not share.
"I don't care! I'm not sharing!"
And lots of yummy treats! Look, they're for Best Friends! Awwwww!
That were lick curling good.
So Freddie hoarded the toys.........
and Gloria hoarded the rawhide.....
Thank you Wally and Sammy for the wonderful Christmas gifts for Freddie and Gloria. You're the bestest friends ever!
P.S. - The package we sent to South Africa for Wally and Sammy still hasn't arrived yet but we are holding out hope that their gifts will still arrive safely!
Update - We just heard that Wally and Sammy's parcel arrived in South Africa! Yay!!

We understand Fred - we're a household of hoarders :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was very helpful - thanks.
ReplyDeleteAww, how beautiful to see our much loved dogs enjoying the festive season too. The eagerness to see what is inside the gifts and the joy of playing with new toys.
