Well, I am already thinking of Christmas ( I know I know....pretty bad! lol) and I put up trees with lots of stuffed animals stuffed in and around them. How do you all keep your doggies from running off with items. Is there something I could spray on them? I have a teddy bear tree that I stuff with decorated teddy bears in the tree and put the large ones on the floor around the tree and I can just imagine the gleem in Maggie's eyes when she sees all those furry friends on the floor. Bitter Apple maybe? Helppppppppppppppppp!
Don't know about bitter apple spray. If you have an exercise pen you can put it up around the tree. That way your baby cann't get to the stuffed animals.
I don't know about the stuffed animals.... I know Tiki would love them and it would be impossible to keep him away.
As far as the tree goes, last year Tiki just sniffed it a few time and left it alone. Remember if you use tinsel that it is quite dangerious for house pets and shouldn't be put on the lower branches.
Lexi would run up grab a stuffed animal and then take of running. I don't think there will be anything on the bottom of our tree. I can just see her grabbing ornaments and lights off the tree.
I had not even given Christmas decor a thought yet!!!!
My kids were always good, my cats are better with the artificial tree, they were awful with the live kind. They still bat around the lower ornaments and chew up ribbons and paper some. They are in heaven if a ball ornament falls off and they can roll it around. :wacko: I guess now I worry, because mine are the aluminum or glass whatever that are breakable...
Brinkley will be more worried about the PAPER I am sure! He drives me NUTS with his paper eating habit!!!!! :wacko:
Oh, I forgot about the presents! Lexi will probably lay down and chew on the boxes and try to tear the paper off. Haha! This is going to be interesting.
I almost always have to work on Christmas so I haven't really decorated the past couple of years because I haven't really been in the Christmas spirit.. but if we do decorate this year I think I'll put the tree up on an end table to keep Tuffy out of it. Tuffy has a habit of putting everything and anything into his mouth so I know the tree would probably be destroyed in a matter of moments if it was on the ground :lol:
My Maltese Finn came to live with me as a puppy last winter. Since we weren’t taking long walks and mainly going outside to use the bathroom, I started out with a regular leash. As he got older and we started walking more, I got him a nice harness. It seems to fit well, but he doesn’t come to me...
Hi again all, I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth of July. I did, for the most part. Sugarplum went on her first vacation since I’ve had her. (For those of you who are not familiar with Sugarplum, she is a puppy mill rescue I adopted just this past December, and she’s made great...
Every day since my husband has been working from home we eat lunch right at 12:00 noon. When we eat we also give Pipper a few pieces of melon as a snack. Well now as soon as my clock chimes 12:00 Pipper will jump right up from a sound sleep and run straight to the kitchen, exactly when the...
Zooey just celebrated her 13th birthday this week. Overall, she is in great health for her age. She has a slight heart murmur now, dry eye (on two medications), allergies (which she gets the Cytopoint injection for), is covered in sebaceous adenomas, has lost some vision and hearing, and...
