Message from Stanley the collie:

“Don’t worry. You can hold this over your people for ages when they get home. When they unpack, beg for your presents. Let them know you expect goodies and make the most of it.”

“Quick tip: If you don’t want to be left behind again pretend you’ve picked up bad habits from the other dogs at the “holiday shelter.” They’ll think twice about making you go there again.”

“Good luck pal.”
