  • He's gonna have to pee after a few hours I suppose..

    I wouldn't put a dog in a wrapped box for more then 30 mins. That just seems like it might cause some anxiety for the dog.
  • good lord, the very existence of this question is an example of why dogs should not be given as christmas gifts.

    the dog probably will not like being a box.

    I think you're assuming the dog is just going to lay there and not make a sound. It's probably going to whine and bark because, well..its inside a box and its going to be wondering "what the hell did I do? why am I in a box?"

    I say just slap a bow around it's neck and call it good. Much better for the dog too anyway.

    Well it's better than wrapping up a series of clues that leads the person to open the freezer to find the dog, but not by much!

    well why don't you try it first to see how it would feel like to be in a box even for a few hrs sorta like givin it a test run .....

    wrapping up a dog?

    wtf??

    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

    Why not just wrap a box that has a seperate lid (and put some holes in one side of it). Then, about 5 minutes before you're going to give the gift, leave the room and say "oh, I forgot...there's one more" put the dog in the box and then bring it back in.

    I wouldn't leave him any longer than that. It seems pointlessly mean. Plus, wouldn't he just bark anyway?
  • it depends what type of dog. some dogs like being wrapped as Christmas gifts

    This is pretty much the acceptable limit here.
    I hope no one took the OP overly serious ;)

    Between this and Hawkshore's response..very funny.
    But true.

    DO NOT PUT A DOG IN A BOX.
    Please.
    It is not cute.
    And I would expect the receipient would be ticked off too.
    Put a bow around it and leave it at the neighbor's.

  • NO!
    absolutely not.

    exactly. why unnecessarily traumatize an animal?

  • It's a stupid idea to GIVE a dog as a Christmas gift. The second you've thought about wrapping the fucker up, you know you've lost your mind.

    honestly, 100% true. the holidays really are not the time to introduce a new member to the family. unless the recipient has some time off to dedicate to the new dog, to acclimate it to the home, start training, etc. quite unfair to the dog and added stress to the recipient. it's far bettewr to get a dog, or just about any other pet, at a time during the year when the gift recipient will have the time/means to dedicate to training.

    That sounds good...

    or just have him with a bow on his collar in another room, and do the "forgot a present" thing and open the door and let him run in (that cute way that puppies run) :D

    I was wondering when I started reading this thread when this link would come up, lol.

    When me and my sister were younger, our dad dropped us off at our mom's around this time of the year, and she told us we would get to open one of our presents early. So me and my sister were excited as this was normally a very strict thing, and she opened up her bedroom door and the dog came running out.

    Fucker scratched me. :p
