Christmas pressies.

I'm buying my granddog a red coat . I don't usually get him anything other than a treat bag but he was very ill in the summer and nearly died. He'd been caught rummaging in the kitchen bin and weeks later he became ill , emergency surgery pulled out a rotten corn on the cob , it hadn't travelled through him but got stuck . He was minutes away from death due to toxins . He's much quieter now , he's lost a bit of his bounce so I want to keep him cosy - he's going to look gorgeous in his coat , he's a large black lab.
Merry Christmas Toby .

Our two girl cats are quite unmoved by anything really, except maybe some festive gammon. Harry the kitten loves the little furry toys with catnip, saves him chasing his sisters so they get a rest too.

Aw, bless. Merry Christmas too Toby. X

A "Wagtastic" Christmas stocking for our granddog!

Naughty Toby! Our labradors have progressed from the bin to the worktops. Christmas is a nightmare trying to keep everything out of their reach. They will have a tuggy toy each which will last all of 5 minutes. I've hidden them in those slim wine bottle bags which will also be shredded in next to no time.
Do your pets also give presents to family members? Ours "buy!" an inexpensive silly gift for everyone.

Baz is already thoroughly enjoying the boxes my Amazon orders are arriving in. The sitting room looks such a mess but DH won't let me tidy the boxes away as Baz is having such a good time in them. They're his best present ever even if they are a bit early.

Oh chelseababy, do you have a grand dog? Me too! All the fun and none of the responsibilty?

Our 2 dogs often get a present from my sister who stays with us, but we've never bought them presents (unless you count the collars we got, one with a bow tie for him and the other with a bandana & bell for her).

I Have a grandog..and a doggy nephew...as well as my girl Bella a greyhound ..and a kakariki parrot called birdie ...all with small gifts the tropical fish will get a toy for their tank ..birdie a new toy for his cage and the dogs will all have a toy and treat each so will birdie the fish will get an extra pinch of food all dogs will have a Christmas lunch ..minus sprouts ..the humans are bad enough ....birdie will have toast and marmalade..

Glad I am amongst animal lovers
..just read that

So good to hear from other animal lovers.
We can admit to being silly about our pets
Our cat treats any toys with disdain, one dog is a couch potato and doesn't play , the two terriers need extra strength toys if they are to last more than five minutes.
They give us so much pleasure ( and work)

Yes Jayanna granddog is a lovely boy though dont see him often. Once i retire (15 months and counting) we'll get a dog too.

I would say you are all mad, except my OH had to drag me away from the pet present section yesterday ❤️❤️

Jane aww, your cat, so gorgeous.

Cats don't need toys like dogs do.....they are happy with a box.

I have just the animal presents left to buy. Dougal ( Our Boy) will get a new fleece to lie on . He never would use a bed but likes a fleece complete with a cushion!. Dogs each side of us will get a big box of Bonio each, and The cat next door will get something luxuriously tasty, will have a look what takes my eye when shopping.

Yes we do wrap them all up :=)

Yesterday I made sardine flavoured dog biscuits for the granddog who will be with us over Christmas. I have a stocking to put them in.

My furry babies will be getting prawns for their Christmas present . Yes I am loopy ! They are a bit hit and miss with cat toys , either completely ignore them or destroy them in a minute .

Have just got a Xmas card with love from granddog. What a clever girl!

Ernie feels that setting Christmas aside from other day, might impede upon the non stop dog fest that is our every day here.

He is too butch to wear clothing and eats better than me anyway, and is spoilt for cushions, I was wondering if a membership of an exclusive gentleman's club might be acceptable or a star named after him?????? Maybe a butler........I am his only staff member as things stand.........gold plated poo bags ??????

No pets as such, but the garden birds will be fed, their feeders kept clean, and bird bath water changed daily. (Our feathered friends need all the help they can get in the winter.)

My dog has an advent calendar with little treats in that my youngest grandson bought for him.The Christmas day treat is a big bone shaped one.He also gets some doggy choc drops from Santa.
My daughter's cat sadly has incurable cancer,although he is quite well at the moment.I think every day is Christmas for him as he is being spoiled rotten for whatever time he has left.I'm sure he will get extra pressies too.

My 2 kitties (17 & 14) are already spoiled rotten, heated beds, their own (they think) chairs. They'll have a special dinner and plenty of fuss as usual.

My dog has just ripped open his freebie cracker (from Pets at Home), so I've put the hat on his head!
