My XMas tree has been attacked!

[MaxMason]

Ahh yes went out with gf yesterday, so I left Ginger inside with my grandmother. So I was gone about 6 hours I guess...came home about 7 p.m and my grandmother said she has been messing with the tree. So I looked at it and the whole left side was bare, absolutely not a single ornament in sight. So I went to my bedroom and to my amazement the was about a million little chewed up ornaments on the floor and my bed.

And apparently Ginger doesn't care for football players, I have some football player hallmark ornaments on my tree. Brett Favre the QB of Green Bay had been murdered. His helmet had been viciously ripped apart along with his arms and legs. So I went looking for the suspect and she wasn't in sight, looked under the bed and there she was. She gave me that innocent look, and of course I really couldn't get onto her cause I didn't catch her in the act. So I pulled her out from under the bed and was kinda mad and she gave me that little innocent look and a sweet puppy kiss.

Thank god her mouth didn't get cut and she is fine. But my butt is a little bit sore today...why you ask? Because I thought I got all those little glass pieces up last night and as soon as I went to bed I sit on one. And man did that kinda hurt, oh well I'll live She NEVER does this kinda stuff when I'm here, but man when I leave she turns into a devil dog. She doesn't even pay attention to my grandmother cause she can't really get around good enough to handle her and good ole Ginger knows that. Just like Max Ginger is very very smart already, Golden Retrievers are so smart its scary. Stay tuned I'm sure there is more destruction on the way.

ROFL! Hopefully Ginger will grow out of her Christmas anti-elf stage by next year! Poor Brett - he's my favorite.

You'll laugh at this: on Sunday afternoon, Kharma is glued to the TV. She lays there with her chin propped up on the arm. She LOVES to watch football. I think she sees the players as something that she needs to herd into one area. When they're running a play, especially if it involves several receivers going deep, her butt twitches, just like it does when she gets ready to charge the cows. She really gets disturbed when Peyton Manning does the chicken dance. That butt twitches like mad. I think Kharma could do a good job of blitzing Manning!

A tree in the house! I couldn't even think of it with Max. He saw a pine tree a few months ago and starting taking the branches off as play toys. Until he matures at possibly 3 or 4 years old, I won't even attempt the tree. I put up other decorations Our youngest Maine Coon (1 year old) would also probably take it down. I do have a crazy house at times.

Dogs are very good at undecorating a tree

it has never happened to me but then i have 2 cats as well as three dogs but i will say that when they are near the tree they tend to knock down the orrnaments by wagging their tails !!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh yes. I sympathize with you. Apparently Brady does not like Santa Claus. Yes, I said it, Santa Claus. Who doesn't like Santa? Well, apparently Brady does not. I came downstairs one morning to find Santa brutally murdered. He was chewed up in millions of pieces. Luckily, I had no Mrs. Claus on my tree to come to identify the body because it would have been a brutal sight for her. Sorry to say I am afraid he was virtually unrecognizable.

Though suspiciously I think the cat set him up. It is a suspicion I have had ever since that day though I have no proof. She was watching from afar when he got in trouble and she seemed to be, oh no, is that a smirk on her face? Yes, I think it was. He was definently the one who killed Santa, but I believe the cat pulled him off the tree. She has a slight fascination with toys with dangle-y legs. This Santa had just that. Brady never touched the tree, but he thinks things on the floor are fair game, and who can blame him since that is where most of his toys are. Kitty on the other hand has pulled things off the tree many times, in fact she is very fascinated with the tree.

So my conclusion was that Brady did murder Santa, but Kitty set him up to do it. Poor Brady, so easy to be set up by a manipulative cat.

OMG! That's funny! Undoubtedly Brady was set up.

Did you ever see that Polaroid commercial where the dog keeps getting blamed for everything until he takes Polaroids of the cat knocking over the garbage and trashing the kitchen?

 

[bogolove]

Yes I remember that. I am sure that is what is going on at my house while I am at work! LOL!

Well thank god the tree is put up, now the tree is safe for another year. What's funny is she's only 5 months old now, and already very very smart. Smart enough to act like she was going to pull another ornament off and look at me like she knows good and well what she's doing is wrong.

Another funny thing is she only really minds me, and totally ignores my grandmother and girlfriend. So she would try and mess with the tree and one of them would tell her no, then she would look back at my bedroom door waiting for me to come out and correct her. Then she would give me that innocent look like she was sayin "I didn't do anything wrong at all" Ahh yes she is very smart indeed.

 

[bogolove]

LOL! She certainly knows what she is doing!
