We put a tree up every year. Sometimes real, sometimes fake. This year it's fake. I've never had a problem with the dogs and the tree....It was the dogs and the PRESENTS! Years ago when we had Porkie we woke up to find everything unwrapped. This is Chloe's first Christmas with us. I'm not even sure she's aware of the tree. It's 6ft high, but I swear she doesn't see it. Talon is another story. He can't be in the same room with the tree. He attacks it. He literally FLEW across the coffee table the other day to get it...I love my crazy puppy.
