Simon and Waffle are home alone. Simon recalls the first time he met Waffle as a pup, and the pair share memories of the Wonder Dog becoming part of the Brooklyn-Bell family.

It's the eve of Waffle's first Christmas with the Brooklyn-Bells. Mrs Hobbs is invited, and Gramps has knitted a Christmas jumper. Waffle learns about Santa and really wants to meet him.

The Brooklyn-Bells are on holiday with Gramps, so Waffle is staying at Angela's dog kennels for a couple of nights. During a face-to-face call with Waffle, the Brooklyn-Bells check their wonder dog is settling in and ensure he has his favourite snuggly toy with him, PegStar. Angela tries to settle Waffle but he whines, he's missing his Brooklyn-Bell family and looks at their photo on the wall of his kennel. Angela resorts to calling the Brooklyn-Bells and explains that when dogs are very disruptive, she expects their owners, or someone they know, to pick them up. Jess has an idea – there's someone who might be able to pick Waffle up in the morning - Mrs Hobbs!
