Biscuit's First Christmas (He Ate It)

Well. Biscuit had his first Christmas and honestly, I think he won.

Biscuit’s First Christmas (He Ate It)

We’re talking about a dog who ate a glass ornament, peed on the tree skirt, and somehow managed to steal ALL the candy out of Theo’s stocking before 7 AM. The ornament situation happened while we were making coffee - one minute the tree looked normal, the next minute there were red glass shards everywhere and a very guilty golden retriever trying to look invisible behind the couch.

The real tragedy was Theo’s stocking.

Theo’s face when he realized his stocking was empty because Biscuit got there first

Poor kid came downstairs so excited, reached into his stocking, and found… nothing. Biscuit had somehow extracted every single piece of candy without disturbing the stocking’s shape. It was like a magic trick, except the magician was a 6-month-old puppy with zero impulse control.

Marcus spent Christmas morning puppy-proofing the tree (moving everything above the three-foot mark) while I googled “dog ate glass ornament emergency vet.” Spoiler alert: Biscuit is fine. The vet said small pieces should pass through, and to watch for… well, let’s just say we’re on poop patrol for the next few days. Merry Christmas to us.

But honestly? Look at his face in that first photo. Pure innocence. He has no idea he committed multiple Christmas felonies. We’re all completely gone for this dog and he knows it. Sophie’s already planning to make him his own stocking next year. Theo’s designing a “Biscuit-proof” ornament storage system. And Marcus is researching artificial trees because apparently our real tree is “too tempting.” The dog ate Christmas and somehow made it better.
