Should I laugh or cry!

I swap Christmas presents with a workmate and because she appreciates and admires what I do, I like to make a special effort for her. This year I decided to make and gift her a whole Panforte.
Down to Vetro for the very best ingredients - bake the cake in November so it can mature. Then wrap and decorate as beautifully as I can.
We swapped gifts last week and this morning she came to see me looking very sheepish. She needed to tell me something and could we go somewhere private. My heart was pounding and I was anxious for the news I was about to get.
At the weekend my friend was outside when her husband came wandering along with a scrap of gold paper with a bedraggled red bow attached. “Do you know what this is from?”. Oh yes...the dog had got the parcel and eaten the whole lot! She had placed it carefully near the tree as it looked so pretty!
I feel sad for her as I have a wonderful present and she has none.
Oh and by the way, the dog is fine - in spite of inbibing a serious amount of chocolate.

Ali, I know I shouldn't smile. I am with Dawn on that one. Is it the cake recipe that Vetro published? I made that cake and I can tell you it is simply one of the best cakes I have ever made and normally I am not a big fan of Christmas fruit cakes.
Dogs will be dogs. We had one that ate the Sunday roast beef when I was a child. We dined on vegetables and gravy but the dog was happy.
