We wrap presents. But the dogs don’t really seem to care, the gift they do enjoy!

I usually get the dogs something, not anything barktastic, just a new toy or treat. I enjoy just having the day off and having the opportunity to share a special walk with them.

Cali always gets a present and so do the kitties … .it’s the highlight of our Christmas morning! Actually, having them all is the highlight of most days 🙂

I think pets really don’t care about holidays but they are just swept away by the traditions and emotions that we humans experience. If you know what I mean? Hehe.

But yeah, I buy gift (if you consider a large bone and meat a gift) for my darling pooch during her birthday and Christmas. 😀

Anyway, keep warm everybody!

BJ is so happy we celebrate Hanukkah. I don’t give him presents (doesn’t even play with toys); I do give him a 1/2 Greenie every night after we light the candles. BJ couldn’t care less about the candles and prayer, he just wants his Greenie.

Whether you and you pups (and cats) celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas have a happy holiday. BJ and I wish you a healthy and peaceful year.

No, Y-Bo doesn’t get anything special…except a butcher bone…which he gets every time we have company…so he doesn’t get a lot of ’em…LOL. But what I do enjoy about the holidays with him, is taking nighttime walks to look at decorations. Happy Upcoming Weekend!

We buy Silas presents, and we wrap them. He *adores* unwrapping gifts. It amazed the in-laws last year that Silas could (and did) unwrap his own present. Their Golden Retriever mix politely declines to tear up paper.

Not that we think he understands Christmas, or gifts, but buying dog toys is a nice low-stress way to take a break from shopping for the “hard” people on my list. He also seems thus far to wear even his sturdier toys out in about a year, so it’s a convenient time to replace things.

I do wrap gifts for Chester and Gretel but know it is for me and not them. They don’t care. Actually, they would prefer I don’t so they can get to playing with them quicker. I think they only thing they might enjoy is their stocking. They like those hide a squirrel in a log toys so they probably see it as a “hide goodies in a stocking” toy.

I don’t think Georgia knows or cares that it’s the holidays. Especially since we’re both Her fulltime servants now. She’s probably quite grateful there are no antler photo shoots this year though. Have a good one, Pamela! X

I don’t know if Buster and Ty even realize that it’s the holidays. Our tree is so small and sits on the table, so I don’t think they’ve even noticed it. And Rod and I are here all day, every day – so that’s nothing new for them. I did stick antlers on Ty’s head yesterday and take some pictures, but it’s also not unusual for me to be pestering him with the camera. I’d say with some confidence that my boys don’t care a bit about the holidays.
