How priceless - it's Christmas Eve, your father and mother sitting on the couch holding hands like a couple of 16 year olds - eyes closed in anxious anticipation; on-looking small kids (and big ones) nervously giggling - and of course, unbeknownst to the recipients, a captive puppy squirming out of control - seeking freedom - is stuffed in an oversized stocking. 


The scene is set - and now the stocking - delivered into the arms of the new parents, and then ...


Ampa is genuinely and utterly astonished.  And based on Amma's reaction, the answer of "...how will Amma deal with a new pee machine in her house" is answered in a millisecond; it'll work. 

And how can it NOT work? I mean, look at these things!  Meet Holly - on the left (Ampa's puppy), and Cowboy on the right (Lindsae's Christmas puppy).




And now?  For the rarest moment of the Christmas '08 season ...


Chubbies - give us a kiss!
