So we went and got a ‘Charlie Brown’ Christmas tree again this year (small enough to fit in the trunk of the Prius).  It fits on top of a little table so that Sofie doesn’t knock it over or eat it.  Last year it was because Lulu was a puppy and now it is Sofie’s turn.  It is much easier, even though I do love the 7’ trees.  Years ago I had to give up tinsel because it is dangerous to the cats.  Then I gave up the bottom section of the tree for any good ornaments, because the dogs and the cats like to play with them.  Now, I have almost given up the tree in total.  For years, I have had an eye hook in the wall where we put the tree to ensure that it does not come tumbling down when someone climbs it.  And you know some silly cat always has to decide that the humans have moved the bathroom inside for a few weeks.  Ah, holidays with animals.  Actually, they are great fun.  I love to watch the cats try to get into every box they can, and well the dogs, they just love being in the middle of all the unwrapped wrapping paper.  If you ever get a gift from me you may note the teeth marks in your ribbon; I will apologize now publicly, so that we can get past it. Its just another dogdaz evening at our house. ❤
