Do you bother ?

My dogs love their toys, so they have each got two dog toys under the tree all wrapped up. They adore pulling the paper off themselves, and i love to watch them.

I had to smuggle the toys into the house as they know whats in the carrier bag. So while they were occupied i had to run them into the dining room and shut the door so they couldn't find them.

Are we quite mad

I have got Amber a little packet of various toys with catnip - bet she won't even sniff them though!

I don't know why we bother

Give her a carrier bag and she is happy as Larry.

My shih tzu puppy (7 months) Alfie has got 2 new dishes for his food and water as he has outgrown the ones we got him when he was really small. I suppose it's the equivalent of getting a child clothes!! I'll also get him a new toy and maybe some form of edible something or other.

Lucky cats

I did consider getting the dogs a turkey jumbone each, but i think my mum is doing the honours this year, and they don't want two. I think i will get them a rawhide chew as well. They love those, and are good for their teeth.

Nothing because they are animals not children.

Two fresh butchers large knuckle bones. Dogs love them, my dogs would be embarrassed if I bought them "toys".

I really can't afford much of anything for them this year. BUT I will be buying some yummy meats from the butchers. Food is their life.

Yes they are animals (Dog and Cat) But they are also family. To think of them as "just animals"... May as well see them as inanimate objects then. /sarcasm

Soft toy, he loves them. After Bunny became one-eared bun, then hard-of-hearing-legless-bun and finally just tum-bun - I thought a replacement was in order.

Get real....they have no concept of birthdays or Christmas.

No-one said 'just animals'...I said they are animals not children.

Tell that to the Narnians. The animals there are excited that Father Christmas is coming.

I bought Simba this!

He loves small stuffed beanie bears. I have given it to him already, he seems unsure about it!

This made me LOL. Our dog is getting a new toy (one of those ones with tough chewy legs) because he had a monkey he loved which went the same way as Humdrummer's dogs Bunny!

He's also getting some chews and a jumbone.
