Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I admit that I just love my tree. She (and I refer to her as a female) was not put up last year because of my cancer recovery so I missed her last year.

When Max finishes his dinner he once again becomes my furry present. He's done this for a few nights now and I just love it. I look forward to seeing everyone else's tree.

Max is now 14 and shows absolutely no interest in presents, or climbing, or whacking the ornaments, or peeing.... All he wants to do is lie there and get some serious Z-z-z-z-s.

GM: I'll ask Max if he wants to do some travelling. He's pretty much a home-body but I think the change in scenery will do him good.

ES: So glad to hear that the E's have come to an agreement that "tree adorning" can be shared.

Randi: What can I say, except...you bet I did!! Had one for you too!
