Day 64: The presence is...are...is under the tree. Okay, he doesn't know about homophones, but Tippy is a pretty smart little (well, not so little) boy. He knows he's not supposed to play with the garland or remove any ornaments, and although ribbons on packages offer an even greater temptation, he mostly leaves them alone. That said, I have to treat the tips of the branches with a bitter-tasting spray to keep either cat from chewing them (an appeal I fail to understand, since the tree is artificial).
Christmas is a stressful time for the smaller members of the family. There are lots of comings and goings, dozens of new smells and things which look like they should be toys. It doesn't take a lot to make your holidays pet-friendly, so please keep them in mind when you're decorating.
