That's funny. THEY (probably more than one) did a number on that tree.
I no longer have a tree with electric lights (just a little one with balls out of reach of Luke). He used to have bad habit of chewing on wires, such as telephone line which he chewed in half AND he chewed a little bit on Christmas lights and shorted out one of them. Lights were not plugged in at the time and I saw him. If lights had been plugged in, he might have gotten a nasty shock. Maybe that would have taught him not to do it but on other hand it might have really hurt him. Anyway no more elec lights on tree.
