There certainly would be enough "stofft animals" left for all. While piling toys into my golf cart for distribution, its growing resemblance to a sleigh became undeniable. The ramshackle cart mirrored that of Dr. Seuss' Grinch Who Stole Christmas, more than Santa's high-class ride. For a moment I glanced around looking for a small dog to strap antlers to, but there was no time to waste. There was a cart full of cheer to deliver.

As I made my appointed rounds, The Lodges became a "Bah Humbug" free zone. Pure joy erupted in every run. The "Lodges" area of Best Friends is where dogs needing to be housed singly or in twos live. There are certain advantages to being a Lodge Dog. Without a pack to fight with, cookies and toys can be distributed with ease. For the Lodge Dogs this day would be packed full of extra play. For me it suddenly became about unbridled fun!

Who could have dreamed that so many of the animals would receive such unadulterated joy form a simple new toy? Everywhere merriment took over. Even the idlest dogs morphed, becoming like children on Christmas morning. Each played with the gifts in their own special ways. Some tossed their toys skyward and twirled them around, like a scene from the Nut Cracker, accentuated with dust and drool. Others rolled on them, flopping gracelessly on their backs like fish out of water. Several trotted in circles proudly showing their present off to the world. "Look at me!"

Tex surprised me most of all. This big hound mix stands as tall as a sleigh and his coat glows as red as Rudolf's nose. My choice was obvious. I'd give him his own reindeer toy. Tex's tough-guy image melted away. First, his new stuffy received a tender bath. Next it was tucked softly under his chin for safe keeping. Later, as afternoon rains darkened the sky, Tex gently carried his toy into his lodge. Together they napped for hours side by side. For my precious Tex, I had chosen wisely.

Truth be told, in every case I took my toy selection duties much too seriously. Dahlila, The Lodges unofficial princess/mascot, had to have the cheerleader teddy bear and Valentine something pink, of course. Whitney, the pretty pittie, always loves frogs. Who knows why? As for Meatball (a.k.a. The Meat Head), all the Caregivers agreed; the biggest, silliest, stuffed bunny was a must for the biggest, silliest, rottweiler to ever grace our universe. The absurd site of floppy eared duo together brought tears of laughter to my eyes. It was another perfect match.

Admittedly my darker side selected the dog who would receive a toy resembling a certain traveling gnome. Zeus! The gnome must go to Zeus. No doubt the gnome would meet a quick end. The forlorn looking Zeus's primary joy in life is disemboweling stuffed toys, but that thought gave me satisfaction. To me the gnome represented ever airport security guard to ever riffle through my luggage. Within seconds his head traveled west. His left foot took flight in the direction of Denver. Stuffing coated the run like new-fallen snow. Zeus and I were both quit satisfied.

As for the snowman? It was with an equally twisted mindset that I tossed him in with Deja – a lanky wolf hybrid. Despite my glee at playing Santa, the snowman's grin vexed me a tad. Yet, much to my dismay the carrot-nosed doll emerged victorious! Deja played with his new toy most of the morning, causing no harm. As my shift ended they both sat in the dog run looking quite pleased with themselves. I had to giggle. Just like Tex, Deja has also proven himself to be a gentle giant. Deja vu! It would appear I had been the clueless one. Of course, I'd never gotten to my coffee.
