Christmas
« on: November 15, 2012, 07:14:58 PM »
Hi all,

It's nearly Christmas!!!  :lol2:

I have already got Alex a few gifts from Santa, stag bar, teddy, bone and doggy stocking  ;)

Are others buying Christmas gifts for there little doggys? And will you wrap them? Adds the fun to it I suppose  :005:

I always do :005:. It's just a bit of fun, I love buying Brodie things and this is the perfect excuse ;).

However this year I'm struggling: she only ever plays with the one toy these days, and she is recovering from pancreatitis so can't get any treats at the moment... Hopefully by Christmas she'll be able to get some low fat treats but even then I'll be limited.

Be watching for ideas ;)

I've dyed some towels for new dog bed blankies  and looked up some giblet recipes. I shall not be getting a new puppy for them al to enjoy as I'm finding 4 dogs fairly hard going.  There's so much orange dust every where.
I'm thinking of wrapping up all their old toys in newspaper for them to rediscover.

Ellie has presents to unwrap from under the tree on Christmas Day, and the day after, and the day after, and the day after ......   From the first time she found her presents under the tree on Christmas Day she was adament the day after that since the tree was still there then there must still be presents there, and she wouldn't give up.  So much so that what I do now is put her main presents under the tree for Christmas Day and then wrap small presents, say a bonio or a couple of gravy bones, and put these under the tree each morning until the tree comes down.  Once the tree is down then Ellie accepts there will be no more presents.

I know, what sort of dog refuses to play with new toys :lol2:. I like the idea of wrapping up an old toy - may just do that with her darling teddy bear ;)

Love the thought of Ellie looking for a new pressie every day :luv:

Nah, she'd know - it has her scent all over it >:(. Plus it is a children's toy and I wouldn't know where to get another!

I usually buy Charlie & Dexter a new toy each and a nice treat. I wrap them and chuck their pressies for them, they love ripping the paper off and are not then interfering helping me unwrap mine  ;)

Yes im buying, im really sad & get for our pets & both lots of parents pets. Jethro is getting a perfect fit harness & a few toys & treats to unwrap. He shreds enough paper so should enjoy it.

When my sister was little mum used to put flour on the dogs paws and make 'reindeer'  foot prints on the hearth  :005: the dog was also very good at putting teeth marks in & eating the carrot.
