EPILOGUE

    Lady sat দ্বারা the বড়দিন tree, watching the আগুন in the living room burn merrily, then she turned to look outside to see the snow falling. বড়দিন was coming, and Tramp sat proudly দ্বারা her side. He seemed to be in much better spirits, as now he escaped quite a few times during the night. But Lady didn’t mind, for she knew that Tramp would always come back to her no matter what.
     She then turned to see the কুকুরছানা posing for photos. The five of them, growing up, also were joined দ্বারা a sixth puppy, Collette’s new boyfriend Fluffy. While Fluffy didn’t live with them while he had a family already, he stopped over regularly, as he was a next-door neighbor. Jim Dear snapped plenty of ছবি as they grinned, then Lady and Tramp joined them.
    “Merry বড়দিন Lady,” Tramp whispered to her.
    “You too,” she told Tramp with a smile.
    When they were done with the photos, Jim Dear and Darling showed Scamp and অ্যাঞ্জেল their বড়দিন present in the house: a set of ten pillows that Aunt Sarah was throwing out. Delightedly, Scamp and অ্যাঞ্জেল took toward fighting over one of the pillows.
    “It’s your wedding present,” Jim Dear explained.
    Indeed, Scamp and অ্যাঞ্জেল were maturing, now in their late teens (in কুকুরছানা years). Scamp remained considerably shorter than Tramp, and looked much like he did before, except slightly taller than Lady now. Angel’s hair, meanwhile, grew longer in the front a bit, slightly reminiscent of her mother’s hairstyle.
    Meanwhile, Annette, Danielle, Collette, and Fluffy were taking a বড়দিন bath.
    “Aww, this feels so warm!” Annette stated happily. “I’m so cold normally…”
    “I প্রণয় the way this feels!” Danielle added.
    “How do আপনি think of this, Fluffy?” Collette asked.
    “You’re so lucky, I wish I had আরো baths,” he answered.
    “You wouldn’t for long,” Scamp whispered as he and অ্যাঞ্জেল giggled then fought over another pillow.
    Then, Jim Dear loudly stated, “Darling! Come here, we got some আরো visitors!”
    And then, the door opened, and in came three আরো dogs…
    “Ay! Good evening Lassie!” Jock told them.
    “Uncle Jock! Uncle Trusty! So happy to see you!” Annette, Danielle, and Collette stated, just being removed from their baths. Fluffy then followed to যোগদান them.
    Scamp and অ্যাঞ্জেল dropped their বালিশ and went to যোগদান the sisters in greeting the visitors. But then, অ্যাঞ্জেল gasped as she saw… “Mama?”
    “Hiya, sweetie,” Peg answered. “I moved in over here… Jock and I got married,” Peg explained. “And their family… gave me a nice collar.”
    “Ay,” Jock explained. “When I first saw her, I was, well, suspicious of course,” he stated. “But I learned a wee bit from your own husband,” he told Tramp.
    “How are আপনি feeling?” Peg asked অ্যাঞ্জেল warmly. “Everythin’ going fine?”
    “I guess so,” অ্যাঞ্জেল cheerfully stated. “I’m so happy that আপনি can live in a প্রথমপাতা now!” অ্যাঞ্জেল delightedly told her.
    “Yeah,” Peg stated softly. “And now I can see আপনি whenever I wish.”
    Meanwhile, Scamp went up to অ্যাঞ্জেল and said, “It feels a lot better now… guess what, Pop promised me to open the fence tonight! Wanna go on an adventure?”
    “Oh, sure!” অ্যাঞ্জেল giggled. “Where to?”
    “Pop told me all about this place beyond the hills, even further than Dusk Way!” Scamp exclaimed. “It’s supposed to have all this great food!”
    “Ooh, great!” অ্যাঞ্জেল answered.
    Then, abruptly, Jim Dear and Darling came into the house with a letter.
    “What is it, Jim Dear?” Darling asked.
    “It’s a letter… from Roger and Anita! They’re coming in a couple of days with their dogs…”
    “Well, we better should start to prepare,” Jim Dear explained. At once, they all started to clean the house up.
    The cleanup of the house took a little bit, and then, just at the end, Jim Dear stated, “Wait, everybody, before our guests leave, we should have one final picture.”
    Lady and Tramp stood in the center, and then, standing in front of them were Collette, Annette, Danielle, and Scamp, with Fluffy and অ্যাঞ্জেল standing on the sides of either of them. Trusty stood on one end of the picture, with Jock and Peg standing together on the other side. They all smiled at the picture as Jim Dear smiled.
    “Happy holiday,” Lady stated happily. “It’s my fourth বছর now with Jim Dear and Darling, our সেকেন্ড Christmas, Angel’s first Christmas, and a wedding দিন with two of our puppies.”
    Lady smiled broadly at her large family, and thought, despite all of the runaways, she lived with the best family that she could possibly live with.
