FRAMINGHAM —

Eden, a 12-month-old boxer, got into the holiday spirit, and then into trouble, recently by checking for goodies inside bags on her owner's kitchen counter.

The boxer, known for counter surfing, had help with the caper from her two littermates.

"The male boxers, taller than females, brushed the counter contents onto the floor and then they all had a party," said Bill Lannon of Uxbridge.

But the hijinks ended badly when Eden ate something she shouldn't have unbeknownst to her owners, Bill and Janic

What is that advertising doing in the middle of the post? Could you remove it please.

Ah as many a pet owner will know, this period of the year is "unhinge the jaw" time for the ever-hungry pooch.

Christmas tree baubles seem have been a particular delicacy over the years as far as my hounds are concerned.

Result they (the dogs) are banned from the sitting room for the duration.

Sorry, Johnny, I'm still learning how to highlight. I've removed it.

What a sad story - another reason to ban plastic bags.

Say no to plastics. It is bad for dogs and for the environment
