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!
