Christmas dinner's in the oven, lad. Oh, time to open some presents. Yes very own dog jacket for walkies. Let's give it a whirl while the spuds are on. May I introduce the Walker Magic? It's my latest well heeled invention that makes any stroll a walk in the park. Merry Christmas. Lovely day for a peaceful warm day. Old cattle grill. Cattle do nicely. Oh, I do like a good walk in the countryside. Oh, hey, Gromit. Hell, Gromit. Gromit? Oh, thanks, Chop. Oh, that's just the job. Warmed right through. We better be headed back.
