On the 7th day of Christmas...this is the tree that sits near the dog's dish. The dogs' tree! The ornaments on it are for the most part animal in nature and not breakable. Some are very old and dear to my heart. I always put a spire ornament on my tree tops..not an angel or a star. It is what always graced the top of our tree at home and I have collected several over the years. This topper was given to me for Christmas last year by a young man we have known since he was a wee one. It is plastic and I am pretty sure it came from a shopping trip at a flea market. I love those. It shows some wear where it was perched atop a tree in years past and was perfect for this tree.
We took our dear neighbor for lunch this week..our Christmas to her and she wanted to bring presents to our furkids afterwards. Spencer, who really doesn't know how to play with toys did take this terry cloth bone and spent some time licking it. (He has always licked Hildy's face..he cleans her ears, her eyes, her mouth and her teeth.) ? For whatever reason he gets great pleasure and Hildy tolerates it for the most part. So when he decided it was OK to lick the bone, it must have been a sign of approval.
He will take the bone and put it on his footstool and lay on it, but even though the other two dogs got their presents too, Hildy would probably destroy Spencer's bone, so we make sure he is the only one to play (lick) it. Funny critters, those furkids!
