Yuletide
« on: November 27, 2010, 04:13:45 PM »
Do puppies and Christmas trees work ?  :lol:

Due to put ours up shortly, but as this is our 1st Christmas with a 5 month old pup we were just wondering how long the tree would last.

As we speak, we are putting ours up now :005:  early I know, but with kids you can just about get away with it!  Odie has been OK (it's his 1st Christmas too), he has had a sniff but not attacked any baubles yet (crossing fingers ;))  Lesley

Good luck Lesley!! Look forward to hearing if it stays up with everything in tact. Mind you Odie is that bit older and hopefully wiser than our little pups!! :005:

We have never had such a young puppy at Xmas before, as Georgia is only 16 weeks old.  Still planning to put the tree up next weekend, so i imagine it is going to be a case of 'see what happens'  :shades:  Fingers crossed she doesn't take too much of a liking to the tree.  :P

Mainly depends where you put the tree and access to same I guess. Katie and Smudge are still youg enough to get up to mischief, so I tend to put the tree above the level they can reach and in the living room with the door firmly closed when I am not about to supervise proceedings  ;)

If you do much the same it will save tears all round I should think. Don't want pups weeing on the electrics or anything.

Thanks!  Yes Odie will be 1 just after Christmas so I'm hoping he'll not discover his mad manic 'puppy behaviour' again :005: 

I await your replies in the coming days/weeks about whose pup has launched themselves in the tree :005:

You could always buy a playpen and put the tree inside!  ;)

I would have thought it would be fine, so long as you keep an eye on her and make sure she's never alone with the tree.

We put ours up today and were about to put the new lights on the tree when I noticed something strange - the wires had been chewed through.
Torin must have been very busy, cause 10 mins previously the lights were fine. :o  

But this is the first year that any of my dogs have gone near the tree. :blink:

Ahhh it brings back so many good memories of my little girl Poppy, she loved xmas even for a dog she would go under the tree to route out any hidden presents, no trouble with the lights, but please be carefull if you put hanging chocolate on your tree for the kids. Dogs love it but as you know it can and will make them very poorly, and that's the last thing you want at xmas. How I do envy all of you with new puppies this xmas enjoy.  Love Dianne and Pebbles x x x

No worries about tree chocs - I never put them on (between my daughters and OH, they would never last a day :005:)

Our dog sitter looked after a dog last year that managed to shread a 4' tree. He went out for 2 hours with the tree on the coffee table. By the time he got home it was just a stick. He has this briliant photo of the dog wrapped in tinsel and the dog happerly holding a stick with a base attached.
