Many of us splash out on our loved ones at this time of year and Emmie Stevens is no different, lavishing gifts, treats and new clothes ... on her 12 dogs. The self-confessed ‘mad dog lady’ will spend Christmas Day opening 12 stockings full of gifts for her ‘fur babies’. The pets will sit down to a dinner of turkey and all the trimmings, pull crackers, wear fancy dress outfits and even go for rides in a doggy sleigh. Scroll down for video Bark the herald angels sing: Nelly, Muffin, Bambi, Pixi, Purdy, Minnie, Doodles, Pomie (front), Dolly, Sparkle, Cabbie and Bailey
