    I do to. My rabbit has his own stocking and I have bought him this thing which grows a constant supply of grass for him (he is a house rabbit).

    I have also bought presents for my sister and mother-in-laws dogs as well.

    Pets are part of the family so should def get presents at Christmas!

    I bought my dog a new harness and lead for christmas but i couldnt wait to give it her so i gave it to her two weeks ago.:o So then i bought her a new coat to keep her warm but i couldnt wait to give her that either so she wore it last week.:mad: I bought her some chews but she could smell them and drove me mad, so instead of taking them upstairs where she couldnt find them.... i gave her them one by one.:rotfl:

    She has a cuddly fluffy dog to open christmas day but will probably enjoy the wrapping paper more.:rolleyes:

    Me too. All our pets get presents. We have a dog, gerbils, ducks and chickens.
  • Our cat of 18 years died in the Summer and we re-homed 3 stray kittens who are now throughly spoilt.

    They had individual advent calendars and the children have wrapped up presents for them, such as cat stockings, new sparkly collars and some nice posh cat food.

    Two of our kittens were dumped at a local vets and the 3rd kitten was touch and go as to whether he would make it (he was born on a stairwell in a block of flats to a feral mum).

    Because of this, we have treated them this year because they are so adorable and had such a rought start to life.

    The dog has three to open from me and the parrot has one :) He already knows which ones are his ;)
  • We got our cats one of those massive play sets with a house on top that they can sleep in.

    Unfortunately we couldn't wait until Christmas to set it up but they do enjoy it a lot.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
  • My Staffy has pressies each Xmas and also on his birthday. He would have had his Xmas presents in his stocking but unfortunately he got to it early and i returned home yesterday to find bits of red fluff all over the carpet!!!! My friends also include a present for him and they always put him on the Xmas cards. Afterall, he is part of the family. :rotfl:

    When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile :D

    My dog has got a new cuddly duck and a turkey & cranberry filled bone, the cats have got new toys (and will get a tin of mackerel for breakfast) and my son's rats (he is home for Christmas and brought his rats with him) have got a special foodstick.

    I can't put my dog's presents under the tree yet though; she got so excited when we were wrapping up the bone that we had to take it to another room to do it! It will go under the tree just before we open presents.
