There was an eleven year old Shih Tzu who loved the shade and the cooler temperatures of the Villages' winter months.

Then there was a Villages homeowner deeply into the Christmas season with manger scenes, trees, wreathes, and lights.

One starry night he let his Shih Tzu out to pee and then starting wondering where his dog had got to.

He searched around the yard and then the neighborhood but could not find his beloved friend.

Calling out in the neighborhood was his next resort but to no avail.

Just about ready to give up he noticed that some of the fake straw from the manger was out of its bed.


Little baby Jesus also seemed to be pushed aside.

There was his prize Shih Tzu in the manger which was amiss with the various Christmas paraphrenalia which his dog had pushed every which way to make his new bed.
