pets and christmas gifts

Looks like Noah will be getting Christmas pressies after all! I ordered a load of toys from Purrs weeks ago which were out of stock so haven't yet arrived and will now be further delayed by the post. And, even tho I spent my birthday money on Noah, my crazy cat lady aunt has indicated she is going to get me vouchers for Christmas for yet more cat stuff ....

Last year my dog got way more excited by the wrapping than the treat inside, so I don't know if I'll bother this year - she can just help open mine! If you order over £50 with Denes you get a free gift anyway (I got some baked biscuits and fresh breath biscuits - for the dog, that is... my breath's not that bad...)

I decided Xmas isn't coming to the cats this year anymore, because they wrecked my 2nd Xmas tree I put up (I threw out the 1st, it wasn't able to be saved!) and one of them chewed through my brand new Xmas tree lights (luckily they weren't on!) AND one of them left a nice big pile of cat sick in the hall which I stood in....probably from eating half the effing tree......!


Im kidding...they'll get a bauble....

My mum used to have fake robins that you attached to the Xmas tree.... dear Casper, not the world's most intelligent moggie at the best of time... saw tree... saw bird in tree... decided to try the natural predator routine (which was always comical since he was the world's most stupid cat). I'm sure you can complete the story - but the plastic robin was the only bird he ever did manage to catch bless his soul.

I've not seen anything particularly special in the shops, so have bought my pooch a selection of treats from the supermarket pet isle.
I did however come across this Dogs Trust christmas menu today, http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/VirtualContent/107127/doggy_christmas_menu.pdf

My dog is treated the same as yours Shiningdove, so as his 'mum' I'll be having a go at something from the menu

My pets have always had xmas presents - with the dogs they had cuddly toys from charity shops and the cat usually gets some sort of cat nip product!

Funny xmas stories wise ive got loads -

My last dog merlin unwrapped every present under the tree one year during the night on xmas eve (and we used to think it was so cute that he could unwrap his own!) the presents were in tact (if a little soggy) but it did kind of ruin the surprise! He also tried to wee against the artificial xmas tree on his 1st year with us!

Merlin again - ate all the choccy xmas decorations off tree and took all the chocolates out of my advent calender, another year he ate a huge block of cheese

Boyfriends cat - launched an aerial attack on the xmas tree last year, off the mantlepiece and ended up under the tree on the floor! She was fine the tree however was not. His tree starts off with loads of decorations, but by xmas day is completely bare.

Kira now thinks Christmas has come early... HUGE bag of dried tripe for £3.99 in poundstretcher (Martin's fault! I got inspired after reading his blog lol) She's had a couple of pieces so far and is stood looking at the door to where the rest has been stashed hoping I'll relent and give her more... Bless her
