Page 65 - A Hope Springs Christmas Tail

When the Dogmother went to get changed into her at home with dogs clothes,
she discovered that someone had eaten

the whole crutch out of her track-
pants and there were bite shaped

patterns the whole way round. "Well, I
don’t think I'll be wearing those again,"

she sighed. "Do any dogs know anything
about this?" she enquired.

Again, no-one put up a paw to confess
(not that she really thought they

would). She had suspicions though that
it might have been Oreo as his folks

had shared that he'd had to have a
very expensive surgery to remove a

sock from his tummy that he'd eaten.

“Well Father” said the Dogmother. “It would appear we’ve had some bored

puppies here today. We’d better go down the back I think and expend some
energy.”

A new routine was
established over the next
few days - where the dogs

would go and have a big run
around in the morning and
help the Dogfather with the

chores of feeding the ducks,
chickens, guinea fowl, geese,

emu, kangaroos, and alpacas
and refreshing all their

water troughs.
