I figured that if it works on shrubs, it will work on an artificial Christmas tree, and it did. I can't remember the name of it to save my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1596036 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 19:43:03 +0000 JAileen 1596036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of spray is it? We had something for a dog called Bitter Apple, but it didn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1595999 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 18:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1595999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming back in to say we found the spray and it works!

We bought the tree from the Boy Scouts. We always try to get an open tree because of our ornaments. I think about half are handmade by me or a family member or a friend. The rest were bought over the years, while we were on vacation, or someone gave it because it had special meaning, such as some of the birds, dogs and musical instruments.</p> <p>I love the pet stories, too! I thought our dog was a freak until I heard of other dogs doing this too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1595236 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:34:57 +0000 Anonymous 1595236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jaileen, you do indeed have lovely ornaments. I love your tree. Did you cut it down ? It doesn't look like a tree farm tree.</p> <p>All the dog/cat stories are so funny! My only problem with dogs has been wagging tails knocking off the low-hanging ornaments. Also dogs inexplicably chewing open Christmas presents (no food in them). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1595006 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:37:31 +0000 JAileen 1595006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A leopard sleeping bag sounds very cozy. Both of our dogs like toys. This one likes to rip them apart, whereas the other one like to walk around with it in his mouth like a lovey. It's sad when his favorites are ripped to shreds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1595001 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:12:09 +0000 rachylou 1595001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilypup has no interest in toys. *Sigh.* did I mention she was jaded? Lol. My best gift to her ever, which I cannot top, is her fuzzy leopard sleeping bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594997 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 19:50:08 +0000 JAileen 1594997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, dangerous, especially if you're a rodent or a stuffed toy. I bought them new toys for Christmas. The top one is another otter. The label is a joke: rethink durability. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594974 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 18:40:14 +0000 rachylou 1594974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!

I wonder if he thought the glass ornaments were birds. I often wonder what is going on in their heads, what they are thinking about, etc. The two dogs we have now are, relatively speaking, easy dogs, for terriers anyway. A Jack Russell we had earlier was very difficult. A trainer came to our house and I learned a lot about how they think. It's mostly about catching things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594957 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:26:00 +0000 Nebraskim 1594957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful tree and fun story about your naughty boy. Literally 40 plus years ago, my mother had lovely hand-blown glass bird ornaments on our tree and our springer spaniel puppy kept removing them and carefully carrying them about in her mouth. My father was thrilled by this because it indicated she had a "soft mouth," desirable in bird-hunting dogs. My mother was not happy about her precious ornaments and also worried that should one break, our dog could be seriously hurt. The compromise was these ornaments went on a smaller table top tree safe from the dog and less breakable felt ornaments replaced them. I haven't thought about that in years. Thanks for that fun memory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594733 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:11:39 +0000 JAileen 1594733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He always makes me laugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594730 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:06:19 +0000 Angie 1594730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute naughty boy.

Badger hunters! A good friend has one - they're fabulous!</p> <p>I'm sure he would have eviscerated the ornaments if we hadn't noticed right away. Below is one of their "toys". It used to be an otter, now missing its ears, nose, tail, paws, and all stuffing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594604 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 01:14:58 +0000 Meredith 1594604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pup is only a little naughty. My babies would have unstuffed those in no time flat! I think you already have the right idea to prevent this in the future. We have to make sure any stuffed ornaments are hung high on the tree so our dachshunds can't reach them. And by "high" I mean 2 feet up! Haha. We use glass ornaments (shapes, not balls!) work on the lowest branches. Beautiful decorations, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594578 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 00:06:10 +0000 JAileen 1594578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He's a sweetheart, really, but yes - very, very naughty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594571 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 23:45:34 +0000 Anonymous 1594571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That picture of the Naughty Boy is so cute -- he knows he's busted, but he's so, so sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594570 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 23:35:17 +0000 JAileen 1594570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your experiences, ladies.

We haven't even put ornaments on, for fear they'll get broken. I'm not even sure we'll keep the tree up. We may have to take it down. Last year we sprayed the tree with something that prevents cats from wanting to get near it, and it worked. Unfortunately, we don't have any this year, and I've told my DDs to try to find some at the pet store. Ugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594535 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:30:25 +0000 JAileen 1594535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband thinks he thinks they are dog toys up on the tree. The three are kind of similar - squishy fabric ornaments. We had to put them up high! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594532 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:19:00 +0000 carter 1594532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful tree. I love a cherished assortment of ornaments.</p> <p>Years ago, I had a cat who had a thing for just one particular ornament. It was a green Grinch with a red hat. No matter where we put him on the tree, the cat would find him (and only him), pluck him off and put him in the toilet. I was sure it was my toddler until I caught the cat doing it. Of course, it then became an annual tradition to try to hide the Grinch from the cat;-) Oddly, he never once tipped over the tree in his Grinch hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-decorations-and-a-naughty-boy#post-1594518 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:02:23 +0000 JAileen 1594518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We haven't put up a tree in several years. Our son and his girlfriend will be here for Christmas. His girlfriend has never celebrated Christmas before and is very excited. So we felt obliged to decorate. I love our collection of ornaments. Here are a few pics:</p> <p>1) &amp; 2) our tree; 3) knitted snowflakes, 4) our great blue heron getting festive (wearing a cat hat from Petco).</p> <p>A new situation has developed: one of our dogs has started stealing ornaments off the tree. 5) the ornaments he has stolen off the tree. He's taken the bird off twice! At first we thought they had fallen off, but this morning I witnessed him stealing the snowman! 6) The defendant trying to look innocent. </p>
