Did someone say "PREZINTZ"???
Dear Casey (my First Shepherd, now RB 
)
had another Christmas "Talent"...
From PuppyHood she'd been trained to Un-Wrap her own presents ~
Dawggie Bisquits were placed in ALL her wrapped gifts and her stocking -
and she caught on at her First Christmas ~
Even if she didn't appreciate the "gift" - there was always a
tastie TREAT under that pretty paper & ribbon!
Four Pawz & a mouthfull of toofies could strip a package in seconds!
When Arrow, da *Watch Dawg* (also now RB ) arrived at da Ranch -
Casey "taught" him the UN-Wrap drill - and he was a FAST Learner!
Da Kat was also a participant -
her gifts had "Pounce" Treats and Kat-NIP under the Wraps.
About their third Christmas; we were having Family over...
Extra prezints were plentiful under the Tree on Christmas Eve in
anticipation of the Family Krowd on Christmas Day.
Included were MANY Packages for Casy & Arrow Dawgs and Fred, da Kat.
As was the Custom - THEIR Prezintz were "salted" wiff Dog and Kat Treats
under the wraps or in the boxes.
Santa & the Elf finished arranging da Loot under the Tree ...
Off to the BigBed - Hoomins, Two Dawgs, anna Kat.
Zzzzzzzzzz till Xmas Morn...
We missed the first *hint* of what was to soon be disovered ~
Da KAT was *stoned* beyond belief on the BigBed come morning!
And da Dawgz weren't too eager to get up -
I though I heard someone *BuRRp*!
"C'mone Guyz ~ Let's go see what SandiePawz brung ya!"
Out to the Living Room we go...
OMG!!
The room was a major **DISASTER**!!
There wasn't a SINGLE present that wasn't either completely UN-Wrapped
or hadn't at least been *inspected* by a Dawg or da Kat! 
They even pulled the STOCKINGS down off the mantle!
SHREDS of paper & ribbon covered the living & dining rooms!
ALL Dawg & Kat and Two-Legger /Hoomin prezzies were
De-Wrapped and De-Boxed and THOROUGHLY *inspected* for the
sought-after hidden *treats*...
GUD GRIEF!!
Most of Christmas Day was spent cleaning, salvaging, and RE-Wrapping...
Kumpany Kame ...
Gifts were exchanged ...
*Puzzled Looks* were given ... ??
Seemed that more than a few gifts had received a bit of
"personalization" by da Santa'z Helpurz Kritterz...
a Toofie Mark here,
a Klaw Skratch there...
It was a Memorable Christmas ~
Family Members were bursting into laughter HOURS later!
RIP, Casey, Arrow, and Fred!
May all Three of you FurKids have another Wonderful Christmas
at the Rainbow Bridge! Dad *misses* Y'all!
PS:
The Current FurKids give it a go - but they pretty much stop
rippin & tearin as soon as the gift begins to appear.
My Sis sent Cinder & Smokey a two-pack (each) of Fancy bone shaped
cookies... Smoke grabbed his off the pile and began "opening" it
under the dining room table.
When I looked, he was Very Happily <chonkin> BOTH cookies along with
the Bow, the Wrapping Paper, AND the plastic shrink-wrap
and labels covering each cookie!
