A couple of weeks ago, we got Tiger a Christmas stocking with lots of "dog things" in it... treats and toys.

He absolutely would not move. When I first put it down on the bar between the kitchen and the living room, he sat and stared at the bar.

When he was distracted by something else, I moved the stocking to the hall closet. The next thing we knew, he was sitting outside the closet door staring at the door.

(Our daughter, her husband and her youngest son were here and were getting a big charge out of this, as were we.)

So, someone distracted Tiger again and I moved the stocking to the top of the china cabinet in the dining room. It took him awhile, but soon he was sitting and staring at the top of the china cabinet.

We broke down and just gave it to him!!!

The thing was heavy plastic but he must have smelled something... and it was something he wanted.

I'm thinking kids and grandkids opening gifts won't be nearly as much fun as Tiger.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!Love,
