Kathi writes: Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas . . .
wrote this last night at around 2 am when I discovered the mess.
Oh, I have been just too smug, reading posts about how some 'dales
have been unwrapping gifts left under the tree.
Not my Owen, oh no, not he.
'Twas two nights before Christmas
All the preparations were done
I was ready now to simply have fun.
I got out of bed to get a small snack
What I saw nearly gave me a heart attack . . .
Yes, there to my horrified eyes did show
unwrapped presents, the papers littered like snow.
And where was the dale who had done it all?
In his crate, hiding, curled up like a ball.
I finished my swearing, my cursing too
and rewrapped the gifts
before anyone knew.
He chewed on some gifts and has eaten the candy
I'm guessing he thought all this was just dandy
I learned a hard lesson, so I locked the crate door
As I walked away, Owen started to snore.
So now I know I should go back to bed
I know the loot's safe, I have nothing to dread.
There's one last thing I felt I must do
Before sleeping tonight I had to tell you.
I logged on to the computer to tell you my tales
and wish you all a great holiday
with your families and Airedales.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Kathi
Owen
