I just gave up. Between Zeke crunching all the glass ornaments he could reach, and he is five feet tall on his back legs, and Rocky and Iggy thinking I installed indoor plumbing for them ... the Christmas tree lasted three days last year before I took it down.
Not putting it up this year, just not worth the hassle. I could build a cage around the poor tree out of wire or baby gates ... but I figured that would effectively negate the beauty of the tree. So I got a 2 foot tall mini tree, and put it on the counter. It works.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
