No Gift More Adorable

Opening the box,
I see sweet brown puppy eyes
looking up at me:
no gift more adorable
beneath any Christmas tree.

How about a box of (plural) puppies? Like, we have a whole box full of kittens on our front porch. They're about two months old- hope they are big enough to survive the winter. Can't take them inside. We already have a houseful. Your Tanika is "adorable." Love, Dave
