Red and Rover by Brian Basset for December 26, 2021

Now they’re not returnable.

Rover puts the fun in functional gifts!

Sock it to me, man!

Red’s gift from Santa became Rover’s toy.

Regifting part on the season. My grandmother had an entire room dedicated to regifting. She had spindles of wrapping paper and twine. She would iron old ribbons and wrappings. It was quite the operation. A mini Marshal Fields in the basement. My grandfather was a doctor so the room was packed with all kinds of bizarre gifts. If she liked the gift wrapping on your present, she would instruct you to save the paper and to fold it for her. In her New England accent she would say “ you MUSNT waste it “. What is show it was!

mutt has a deal with my wife: one sock “found” without damage = one treat.

Dogs can fix anything…..almost.

Lol

OK Rover, you get the socks and I get the Frisbee.

Rover would have a blast with my Mr.‘s sock collection. Every Christmas and birthday, his sister gifts him SOCKS! He’ll NEVER have to BUY socks in his lifetime.

Socks are great toys for dogs—until they eat them! My niece’s dog tried to eat one and her husband had to get it out of Rupert’s throat; if he had swallowed it, it would have meant a trip to the vet and possible (likely?) surgery.

What a perfect toy – for Rover, that is. Merry Christmas +1!

Rover can turn anything into a toy

Love how the background changes color.

For the first time, I think everyone in my family got socks this year.
