Yesterday while I was at the Social Security office with Naldo (finally got around to getting his S.S. card) UPS delivered a package of Christmas gifts I had ordered. We have a big front porch so I didn't see it when we got home. I let the dogs out and was making lunch for the boys when I noticed the dogs were running around the front yard with what looked like clothing in their mouths. 2 were having a tug-of -war and one was cavorting around with something in his mouth and throwing it in the air and catching it. My first thoughts were one of the kids had left a sweatshirt on the porch or the dogs had gotten into one of the hockey bags. I ran outside and saw the shredded box on the porch. Apparently the dogs decided that someone had sent them a package of clothing for them to play with. 2 sweaters were destroyed and 2 were covered with dog slobber, snow and dirt. I was furious at them. They knew they were bad because they all ran into the house and hid. Would it be tacky to give a gift that had been run through the washing machine? Anyone want some dogs
?
