Blossom’s Tangled Triumph
It was Christmas morning, and the tree stood tall, sparkling with lights and ornaments. Ariel the Maltipoo zipped around, barking at the decorations.
“Blossom!” Ariel called. “Let’s see if you’re as fancy as this tree!”
Blossom the Borzoi raised an eyebrow. “I’m already the definition of elegant, Ariel. No need to compete with a fir.”
But Ariel had other plans. She dashed under the tree, tugging at the lights, causing them to unravel. Before Blossom could react, the string of lights wrapped around her legs and tail.
“Perfect!” Ariel said, hopping onto a pile of presents. “Now you just need the star!”
Blossom groaned but reluctantly grabbed the tree’s star in her mouth to humor the excitable Maltipoo.
Just then, their human walked in. “Blossom! What happened?”
Blossom, still tangled and holding the star, sighed dramatically. “Apparently, I’ve been promoted to Christmas tree.”
Ariel wagged her tail. “You’re the best decoration we’ve got!”
Lesson learned? Never underestimate a Maltipoo’s creativity—or a Borzoi’s patience.
