Who buys their pet a christmas present?

Our dog will have his own pile of pressies tomorrow. He really is like a child, he gets so excited ripping the paper off.

People who do not have pets think we are completley bonkers.:confused:

I have to add its not just me but my Mother, my sister & my kids all buy him something.
Maybe its time I had some grandchildren to spoil !

    My dogs always get a present from Santa. The eldest are having dog treats and the two pups are having cuddly toys (ssshh! Dont tell them!). Its mainly for the benefit of my daughters though. Although they are 16 and 19 they would be upset if the pets were missed out. Even the guinea pigs get something wrapped up!!!

    My three cats and one dog get a prezzie each and christmas dinner as well I even bought fish a new treasure chest for his bowl and the hamster got a new house to live in

    Now have I missed anyone!!!
