TUESDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE:
Alright, it’s finished. AND it’s going up late tonight, rather than dumping it midday.
And so now I’m leaving the computer behind to go get A Christmas tree. (Wooo-hooo!)
Due to circumstances— rain, minor floods, unruly puppies and other forces majeure—beyond my control (like, for example, the need to finish final grading for USC by 5 p.m. Tuesday) Follow the Gang Money Part 3, will be out by noon. late tonight. shortly. (Finishing it now.)

And wolf pup topples the tree in 3..2..1…
The tree is still outside and hasn’t been brought in yet. I fear exactly the scenario you outline. She just stole one of the neighbor’s muddy boots. (It’s been returned, thankfully with no fang marks.)
Merry, merry.
