Christmas is for humans, and I will not ruin the
surprises by opening all their presents.
Christmas light bulbs, Christmas ornaments, Christmas
stockings, and tinsel from the Christmas tree are not food.
I am the alpha dog, therefore I do not need to protect
my new Christmas rawhide from the omega dog by
taking it outside to eat when the wind chill is -10 F.
I will not demolish the Christmas tree and drag the
string of lights out into the backyard through the doggy door.
I will not dive into the Christmas tree to get the
candy canes (which I will eat — paper and all).
I will not eat my Christmas doggie treats until after
they’re out of the stocking!
I will not even THINK about going underneath the
Christmas tree and piddling on the dining room rug.
I will not get into a fight with the bigger dog next
door, making my human have to call the vet’s at Christmas.
I will not get tangled up in the Christmas tree lights
and pull the tree down while trying to get at a cat
through the conservatory window.
I will not pee on Grandma’s Christmas presents that
are under her tree as soon as we enter her house.
I will not pee on the Christmas tree.
I will not steal the neighbor’s Christmas light bulbs.
The bowl underneath the Christmas tree is not a dog
dish. I will not drink from it. It will make me sick.
How cute, thanks for sharing.
This was adorable D., and the funny thing is it is all true!
I love it too and these are the reasons that I have a 2′ tree on top of a cabinet and all my decorations are hung or set high… LOL Two dogs and two cats can definitely wreak havoc!
D.
Must be the same reason we have a little table top model tree! Max has never seen a real tree in the house, and honestly, I would be afraid of what he would do to it!
i have to do the same thing. but i had to learn the hard way with 3 cats
Yep same here. A 2′ fiberlight tree, and the rest of the decorations out of reach. I remember many a Christmas catastrophe over the years when the human babies were small and furbabies were everywhere. We muddled through, but now that the daughters are grown up, no way will I go through all that again. Truly cute D. Thanks so much for the grins.
To True but this year I am trying a repel spray on the tree and only non treasured ornaments…will let you know how that goes..as I MISS my tree….why I do not know because I think I have every Ssnta and Snowman coookie jar and figurine ever created and am well on my way to being able to claim that for angel figurines and nativity sets. Just love Christmas and all of its meaning. Love the “not drink out of the bowl under the tree and the ripping off the gift paper from all the gifts”.
