Alone for Christmas
Who's there?
I know someone is out there.
Show yourself coward.
That looks good.
I wonder who put that there?
Hey where's the dog?
Keep quiet.
Hello my beauty.
The bone works like
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Who are those guys?
Oh boy,
I'm really in the doghouse now.
Mama.
Huh?
- Mama.
- Columbus. It isn't Santa.
Christmas is still a day away.
I know! This is something else.
I sense danger.
Mama.
Mama.
We're not watch dogs.
Nobody is robbing the house.
Mama.
You heard that, right?
Yeah but...
Mama.
Do not fear young madden.
Your hero has arrived.
Mama.
Wait.
She's trapped
in one of these packages.
Mama.
Mama. I want to pee.
Quick, before she runs out of air.
Columbus, it's a doll.
Huh?
Mama.
Bone, what did you do?
Busted!
Give him some love.
Give him some love.
Here sit down baby. Yes!
He brought down the whole tree.
It was savaged!
Opened all the presents.
Nope. We called this year.
The nerf Bazooka?
Are you kidding me?
My parents have gone mental.
I would have canceled
the whole holiday.
Not that it would have
mattered that much.
There's barely been
any snow this year.
It doesn't feel very Merry anyway.
I'm telling you Hunter, this is
going to be the worst Christmas ever!
Dylan, a moment?
I'll catch you later.
Thank you. Umm,
Look. I'm sorry guys
but Bone can't come with us
to Grandma's this year.
She's getting too old
and we can't risk Bone
knocking her down
or ripping up her furniture.
He's been acting wild lately.
So he's going to stay at the Kennel
and that's how it's got to be.
I have to put my foot down.
I am the boss.
I am the head of this house hold.
But Dad!
But we just moved to this house,
- Well...
- Yeah.
Guys it's only a week.
Bone will be fine.
Those Kennels
are like prison camps.
Mean brutal mutts.
I hear that if a dog
enters the big house
wearing a sweater
he'll get shanked.
Won't he be lonely?
We will be back
before he even knows we left.
And Columbus will keep
the rest of us company.
Okay. I guess.
I hope Bone packs a sharp
chew stick.
Now, we have a long drive
ahead of us,
so get washed,
dressed, and pack up.
And don't leave
any food out for the mice.
I don't want this house destroyed.
Before we have a chance
to destroy it ourselves.
Oh and use
the shower downstairs please.
The hot water knob is still broken.
This house has old pipes.
Move it on out.
The faster we get to grandma
and grandpa's,
- the faster we get eggnog.
- Yay! Eggnog. Eggnog. Eggnog.
What's Eggnog?
I'm so sorry
that I ruined Christmas.
Got a few bad dogs
and a newspaper to the nose.
No biggy. I can handle it.
But aren't you mad
you're not going to grandma's?
Thought this was just a time out.
I'm going to miss
the big turkey dinner.
Look, you're just new here.
You don't understand our place.
Don't try to be
something you're not.
- A hero.
- Yeah.
I know. I just thought...
You see a beware of dog sign
outside this house?
No.
That's cause we're family pets.
Our jobs are simply
take them on brisk walks.
You're right.
And from this day on I promise
to never act like a watchdog again.
Intruder!
I got it! Guys hurry up!
- Oh! Happy Holidays.
- Hi!
- You must be the new owners.
- Yes.
I saw you had a hold
on your mail so I, here.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I saw you move in the other week.
I got a
pricy looking package for you.
Somebody stayed of
the naughty list this year I see.
