I packed them in cookie tins and gave or sent them. Different sizes for large and small dogs, and a low-fat version for dogs with a weight problem.

My sister has three dogs so I consider them as my nieces.

First time in in 24 years that we didn't hang dog stockings but I know that won't be the case next year.

19. No Presents For The Beasties!

They owe me money! Food, shelter, vet bills. And yet, not one of them has even tried to get a job!

Actually, my sister, and two of my wife's friends always buy the doggie something. Usually just pet treats.

My last dog, however, was fascinated and caring about his stuffed animals, so we always got him something new at christmas.

The current puppy couldn't care less about that stuff. He just likes to watch TV.
