In our household, Christmas 2008 was a large and lavish affair. Boxing Day was similar although somewhat laid back. There were remnants of Christmas wrapping littering the house whilst the base of the Christmas tree looked quite bare. Nevertheless our household remained vibrant and conversations continued from the previous day. Guests and animals alike sponged up the relaxed vibe and happy companionship.
The flat coffee table in our TV room was strewn with remaining Christmas delicacies; offered to anyone who cared to challenge the remaining spaces in their stomachs. Nuts, sweets and biltong were all openly displayed. But by the evening of that Boxing Day, nobody could fit in another morsel. Even my beautiful gift of Geldhof chocolates - the most delicious, delectable and elaborate chocolates imaginable - lay half eaten.Well, when it came to retiring that night, we locked up the house, roped in our four dogs and strolled wearily to our respective bedrooms.
Unfortunately the dogs didn't quite feel the same way. They woke up at first light - as the dawn was breaking - to wake up the birds. "The Boss", all bleary-eyed and unsteady, dutifully mobilized himself and opened up the doors to let the pooches out. They ran off into the garden to make their errands and read the news. Dreariness quickly got the better of "The Boss" and he was soon back in bed, snoring. Unfortunately for us though, he'd left the doors wide open.
Whilst the household was still in dreamland, the pooches decided to have their own Christmas party! Generally speaking, our pack is very disciplined about not stealing food, but that morning the Christmas pies were obviously too tempting! Between the four of them they cleaned up!!!...

We have read a lot of posts from the Ooops I Ate it Award - you certainly have a very impressive story to tell!
That was stealing food on a grand scale and although it made us smile we expect you were not feeling so good at the time!!!
Have a great weekend.

Hey Guys
Just wanted to add something to my post...
THE CHOCOLATES:
When we realised what the dogs had got up to,we were extremely worried !!! - knowing how dangerous chocolates can be for dogs!!! Thankfully none of them were vomiting...it simply worked its way through their obviously 'not delicate' systems. Oh boy, were we worried!!!
Lots of licks

Way to score, you guys! Ha roooo!
Play bows,
Zim
PS: Our great sisters stole some chocolate, so Mom understands how scary that is! :/
MAx, I must confess that I too have stolen chocolates in my time. Delicious they were too. Surely the fact that I later woke up in the middle of the night with a very uncomfortable tummy was just a coincidence, right?
Cheers, H.
PS I have this theory that whisky works wonders as an antidote to the toxins in chocolate. It surprises me that this has not yet been accepted as a cure by the veterinary establishment,
Hahaha....your tale of Christmas over-indulgence has us drooling like...well, Beagles!
Fuuny story :D
Slobbers xx
Tee Hee...well it WAS Christmas after all!!!!
Smileys!

Naughty naughty MAX!
Chocolate is bad for dogs as far as I know...I quite agree with you on stealing the biltong though! Good job! Save me some next time.
If your stools were very loose and rumbly then why would you sit on them? I won't go near a loose or unstable stool, it can be a hazard you know! Rumbling stool? Goodness me, was Toffee perhaps hiding beneath it and that was what you were hearing? Your human sla...I mean 'MOMMY', must let you lie on the bed rather :) Especially at Christmas!
Now I'm confused...how do Christmas and stools go together?
From the ever Madd and in this case, confused, cat.
congrats on the award - and whats a little chewing between family and friends
