14. Unroll paper.     

15. Take puppy OFF box.     

16. Cut paper being careful not to cut puppy's foot or nose that is getting in the way as he "helps." 
   
17. Let puppy tear remaining paper.

27. Go get roll of wrapping paper puppy ran off with.

28. Take scissors from older dog who took them when you got up.   
 
29. Give pen to older dog to hold so he stops licking your face.   
 
30. Remove puppy from present & hurriedly slap tape on to hold the paper on.   
   
31. Take now soggy bow from puppy & tape on since the sticky stuff no longer sticks.

Are you absolutely sure puppy isn't still in the box??

  ;DThat is how it goes at my house,isn't that way at everyone's??

I read one last year about Cats helping wrap presents and it was a funny one to.

Hahaha That's whay my two are kicked out while I'm wrapping.  Kali helped last year and she was definitely an oversized puppy...althou gh she couldn't fit in the box she took great pride in pouncing on them.

Ha! That was cute. I can relate... to the puppy part, and the kitty, and also a toddler.  Even at 4 years old now, my son still insists on being in the middle of everything. My 8 year old is done with it all. Video games and movies, etc. are cooler.   Have'nt wrapped my BPO gift yet, but I have to this week becuase I plan to ship it this weekend. If I don't Bella is going to turn my SS gift into a "slightly used" one.

HAHAHAHAHAA!!  That is way to funny!  Koby had to help yesterday while I was wrapping my SS gift.  It's funny how the pets are in a dead sleep until they see gifts and wrapping paper then all heck breaks loose.  He was laying down until he seen some interesting things I was wrapping so he decided to army crawl ever so slightly til he was right on top of the gifts, sniffing and slobbering all over them!!  OH and the cat had to be in the box, on top of the box, smacking the bows and doing burnouts on the wrapping paper.
