Life is Confusing When You are a Puppy!

That is so cute! My dog knocked the Christmas tree over once - on himself. He was extremely suspicious of it from then on. Never had to worry he'd get into stuff under it though.

I think they should market some sort of proximity alarm so when puppies or kittens approach Christmas trees a stern voice says "Go away! Bad puppy (kitten)! Do NOT pee on me! Do NOT chew me! Do NOT climb me!" I'd pay money for that! LOL

Hahaha....that'd work for toddlers wanting to rip at all the pretty paper...and young kids who can't wait 'til Christmas morning to open their boxes. "Step AWAY from the Tree! Or Santa's got a bag of coal with your name on it!" :P

There is a solution to the curious/mischevious cat/dog + Christmas tree thing...

It's called a rotating Christmas tree. =) Mine rotates and has been cat-free since I bought it. Also makes decorating and de-decorating a cinch! Stand in one place! Much easier to hold rum-laced eggnog in one hand and ornament in the other...

*NOT* that I've tested this practice....er...not me.

We opted to go without the tree this year since we have 3 4 month old kittens in the house. I don't think you idea of a talking tree would work with cats Jo. My kittens know when they are doing something they shouldn't, and if I yell at them, they stop, turn their head slowly toward me, and give me the look that says, "Yes, that is my name." and then continue what they were doing. They won't stop until I get up and am almost to them, then they run.

My female dog pulled something similar the other day. She was out in the yard, digging a hole. I opened the door and bellowed her name. She froze, turned and looked at me, and the look said, "What?!? I didn't do nothin'!!!!"
