Spot the Dog was happily being fed the tenderest morsels left on the Velociraptor carcass. He & Camo pulled the wishbone while everyone in the bar crossed their fingers & with eyes tightly shut - made a wish....

'This bone looks like it'll make someone a good tipper' declares the Stray. 'That old fellas been a long time posting his letters, bet he'd be able to get a good beat on his Rhan with this', and proceeded to clean the bone for action.

The tree was almost completely decorated now, the rainbow cd's shimmering in the prismatic effect of so many raised glasses. Presents were piled high under the tree - who had put them there & who were they for? No-one knew, it was a secret....
