I was buying the family Christmas cards - Husband/Daughter/Son and I saw one for The Dog so I bought for her one too. Does any one else buy their pet a Christmas card? Or is only me?

I work in the greeting card industry and at Christmas this is the fasting selling card.

Of course I buy our beloved fat black & white cat a present but a card would be a waste of money as he can't read so the felicitations written in it would be wasted on him!

I saw cards wishing The Cat a Merry Christmas but resisted buying any because I thought they may fight if they didn't get one each.
hmm

Our dog loved turkey and would sulk for ages after Christmas when given his normal dog food.

I remember visiting a friend who said she had bought their dog a gift. When I asked what it was, she said she couldn’t say, as he was listening!
That said, our grandchildren always brought our ( late) wee dog a gift.

My son's dog has a Christmas jumper from last year which she brings to anyone and everyone to put it on her. She's now got an elf one complete with socks - looks hilarious as she's not a tiny dog grin
