Alone for Christmas Page #3

---

You know um... I don't know.

Sir please, it's Christmas.

I will take very good care of Steve.

Bone.

Really?

He looks like a Steve.

Look Sir, I don't have children.

But these guys

are like my children.

All of them. I love them all.

The fat ones.

The skinny ones.

The little ones.

I'll take really good care

of your dog, I promise.

Yeah boy. Come here.

What do you...

What do you think?

Alright good.

Okay.

- Really?

- Really.

But I get to watch Bone on TV.

Every channel,

364 hours a day.

Don't you mean a year?

No he's not gonna be here

that long.

Unless you want him to be

and then...

I can cut you a really good deal sir.

No, that's okay.

Well, great! And Merry Christmas.

Ah, you too.

- Alright buddy.

- Come on buddy. Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

Oh! It is freezing out there!

Let's get a little heat on.

How'd he take it?

Uh, he took it like a champ.

The own is... well he...

He likes dogs.

You think he'll be okay?

I hate to think of him

in a cold kennel.

Sharing a water bowl

with 10 other lonely mutts.

I'm telling you.

It's not that bad.

Alright guys buckle up.

Okay.

Here we go.

It's gonna be fun.

I'm so sorry Bone.

I'll see you after Christmas.

Alright. Come on.

That's it. Right in here.

Okay. Go ahead and find

a mattress you can call your own.

And the doggie door

is in the back, okay?

Just feel free

to hang out and chill, okay.

I'll be in the living room

watching Clash of the Empires,

if you want to come out there

and veg out or something.

Alright Steve.

Hi I'm...

- What did I...

- He's a little spooked man.

From me?

I don't scare anyone.

Neither does he.

Hey look, I'm sorry.

- Go away!

- Sure but...

Go away!

Come on. Let's leave him alone.

Did you unplug

all the appliances?

- Yeah.

- And the lights are on timers?

Taken care of.

And all the doors

and windows are locked?

Yes, dear.

Did you lock

your bedroom window Dylan?

Gosh I hope so.

I pray that someone doesn't

steal my awesome new socks.

Hey, how about we stop

for a little hot chocolate?

Huh?

We're only 4 hours

from your parents' house.

Let's not spoil the kids' appetites.

Yeah, I can't wait for a big bowl

of grandma's left over Mac and cheese.

You know what? He's right.

She only makes a fuss

over Christmas Day dinner.

Yeah.

- Is this fun?

- Yeah.

Hey how about this place?

We'll be back on the road

before you know it.

Alright. Even I can use a break

from grandma's stale Mac and Cheese.

I miss Bone.

Oh sweetie.

Let's not start that again.

You'll see him in 6 days okay?

Why not now?

Dylan hand me your tablet.

There's no app

for fix my lousy Christmas.

I checked.
