Page 79 - A Hope Springs Christmas Tail

Holidays are over

Over the course of the next week, the various dog parents came and picked up
their dogs. Bertie couldn’t wait to introduce his Dad to Pippa and show him how

he barked bravely at the Emu. Elsie lost just one more ball in the creek prior
to departing, Scooby was glad to see his little kids again, Pippa couldn’t wait to

tell her doting parents all about her farm stay holiday and Zac was happy to
see his family - though he was also sorry to say goodbye to his next favourite

person, the Dogfather.

Tiika was still experiencing some tummy turmoil when her Mum came to pick

her up and Oreo and Ewok, whilst pronouncing it the best holiday ever - were
happy to be going home to see their family. They didn’t want to appear to be

sooky, but they were missing their family and their cats and bunnies.

The Dogparents took Marley home to his folks. And the Gang gathered
together on the back deck. “Wow, what an epic Christmas holiday" Tucker said.

"It sure was" said Rosie "but I tell you what I’ll be glad to have my spot back
on Pa’s lap without having to share it with all the others."
