The airplane cruised through the night sky, soaring on the wind with little effort. Its destination, London. It would land there within the next hour with all of its staff and passengers. Among those said passengers was a large family on their Christmas vacation. The entire family still had no idea that they had forgotten something very important.

Until now.

Waking up from her nap with a small frown on her face, Gidget started digging around in her purse. She had a bad feeling in her gut. While she was still looking around, the Pomeranian accidentally woke up her husband. Blinking his eyes open, Max murmured, "What are you doing honey?"

"Max, I think we forgot something," Gidget answered, looking up from her searching. Setting her purse down, she scratched her head as she continued, "Something important." Placing his paw on his wife's shoulder, Max gave it a gentle squeeze and replied reassuringly, "It's okay Gidget. You're just thinking that because we had to leave the house in a hurry. We took care of everything, I promise."

"Did I turn off the coffee?"

"No, I did."

"Turn off the lights and turn on the timer for the Christmas lights?"

"Yeah, Duke and Snowball helped me with that."

"Lock the doors?"

"Yes."

"Did you close the garage door?"

Silence.

"Max, did you close the garage door?"

"That's it. I forgot to close the garage door."

"Are you kidding me..."

"Like I said, we were in a hurry. Good thing I called up the dog sitter for Hu."

At the mention of the family dog's name, Gidget leaned back in her seat. Now that she thought of it, she hadn't seen Hu since last night after the incident in the kitchen. If she was recalling correctly, she had taken Tiny and Hu upstairs. And then... wait a second, wait one second. Gidget's eyes practically popped out of their sockets when she finally realized what they were forgetting.

"TINY!!!"
