Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Paws

Dear Dog Lady,
My friend and I try to out-do each other by sending goofy dog-themed holiday cards. What’s the funniest doggy card you’ve seen so far?

Virginia, Boonton, NJ

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Paws.
Dog Lady received a most amusing canine Christmas card. How funny? So funny that Dog Lady was overcome with guffaws for nearly five minutes after opening this holiday greeting sent by the beloved (and clever) parents of my best friend.

The cartoon on the front shows a man, in winter garb, carrying a Christmas tree into a living room decorated for the holidays. A cute dog, sitting in the living room with a big smile on its face, watches the tree arrive. The happy dog’s thought bubbles up: “At last! Indoor plumbing!” Inside, the card reads: “Hope Christmas brings everything you ever wanted.”

And so I wish to you, Virginia, and to all creatures great and small -- Merry Christmas from Dog Lady and her muse dog (who, yes, once used the Christmas tree as indoor plumbing).
