How the Rottweiler Stole Christmas

Per the vet's suggestion, we can't have have any Christmas decorations in our house this year.
Well, as long as Rocco, the human garbage disposal lives here.
My husband took Rocco to the vet on Tuesday for his yearly shots. Rocco weighed in at almost 90-lbs and the vet said that he is healthy and won't get any taller, but he will start to fill out in the next year, probably gaining 20-more lbs. Oh and he said "Hopefully, he will grow out of his clumsy stage next year".
Poor Rocco.
Anyway, the vet was telling my husband how he just had to operate on a dog that ate the lights off a Christmas tree.
Oh, and the surgery to remove the lights cost $3,000.
Cash in advance.
We know Rocco cannot to trusted.
And a sparkly, bright, twinkling Christmas tree will make his mouth water.
And our bank account shrink.
So for the safety of our Rocco and the protection of our wallets, we say.....
Ba Humbug.

PS-Thanks for the title, Rebecca!
