If your home has a "holiday" tree, does your dog pay any attention to it?

Hopefully it doesn't make him feel like he's outdoors...

"holiday" tree? ....

my dog doesnt really care about the christmas tree..although we've stopped putting on tinsel and ribbon because him and the cats are always chewing on it and throwing up.

but my dog sleeps under the tree once it is up.

That's something we have to watch out for in our place, too.

Regarding "holiday tree" - I wasn't making any religious assumptions...

Oh, no! Lol. I've completely forgotten about the Christmas tree! All of my pets are going to be new to the whole thing this year. With a Dane and a lab and a little extremely playful kitten....this should be interesting.

As Bo will be a year on Christmas and is a very nosy and pushy boy, I have been thinking of putting a three foot tree on top of my sewing table this year and trying to put up the big tree next year when he's older and wiser.

My dogs never bother the tree itself. I always have keep an eye on the decorations. More than anything, it is the presents. My dogs can't wait till christmas to start opening presents. My parents dogs just pee on the presents.

It sounds like your parent's dogs must be hard to buy for... How about gift certificates?

yea this will be interesting for sure! Chester'll be about 5 months at christmas!..and you just never know what hes going to get into LOL

My dog doesn't care about the tree. She loves to sleep on the felt underneath it though.

What is bad, is before we learned that the my parents dog have a thing for peeing on presents, they were peeing on our presents. So after that, we just could not put presents under the tree. My parents have jack russell terriers and they are so bad. One of them even peed on my mother's head one time when she was sleeping.

Rex was only 9 mos. last X-mas, and he is a GSD so he kept herding people out of the room, it was really funny, his tail would wag, and he would nose our granddaughter away from the tree until she was in the hallway, then would lay down so she couldn't get by. He got his collar stuck in the garland, thankfully I found him before he pulled the whole thing down.
