I bought my two stockings already but I don't know what to get them

They have everything, awesome treats, good food, a gazillion toys. What are somes things you all are getting for your furbutts for christmas? Or am I crazy and the only one that has stockings for my dogs??

We are very excited to have Eva's first Christmas with her. We are going to have a stocking for her for sure. Probably just fill with more of all the good stuff she already gets. I am curious to see what great ideas everyone will post. We are going to wrap any presents we give her in pieces of xmas fabric not paper, so she can work at opening herself safely.

I have no idea yet! I bought him a stocking last year but never used it. I got him like 2 weeks before Christmas so he didn't get any actual Christmas gifts, since I had spent all my money on him himself, crates, supplies, LOL! So I'm excited to spoil him this year!

I am really excited too, this will be our first Christmas together. Well it just so happens Madison needs a bed. So I am looking into one right now. She will get that plus I will def get her a stocking. I will be keeping an eye out for YT vendors in items for sale forum. They usually have some really cool stuff.

I put bully sticks, treats, and a small toy in their stockings. This year they will get a couple toys, maybe a shirt or blanket. We talked it over and instead of buying them lots of things, we are going to take the money and donate it somewhere.

My yorkies would like to offer up their stockings full of toys and treats to the humane society; they are wishing for peace on earth and goodwill towards dogs. I know this because they communicate with me telepathically.

Same here but we didnt do it telepathically, Sam just barked it out and I speak Yorkie on most nights

We used to do really big "gotcha days" (as opposed to bday parties, since my guys are adopted and I don't know their bdays) and big christmas w/ new collars, clothes, treats, toys, etc. I loved spoiling them

I've stopped all that recently. Their toys were overrunning the house, and they don't play with most of them. Laney (my pit bull mix) had like 20 collars, which to me is really ridiculous since she can only wear one at a time. Slade had drawers full of clothes, that he rarely wears now since I rarely take him out anywhere anymore b/c I'm working full time and just like to be at home when I'm not working. As oppossed to when I was a student and had tons of free time and would tote him to stores, sporting events, parades, etc.

This year they might get one or two new toys a piece. And I'll probably make a donation to the rescue I used to foster for.

Bonnie is getting a cozy cave dog bed. In her stocking she will get some bully sticks, potty treats, a new squeeky AKC bunny to replace the one that looks like road kill, and a new harness from ChattysMom as the one she had now is about to squeeze her and is let out as far as it will go. Things that she needs, really.
This will be our first Christmas together.

bj1 · 11-03-2009, 07:18 PM

I can't wait till Christmas!! This will be the first christmas for both of them. I probally will fill mine with bully sticks, treats, little toys, things like that.

orlnurse · 11-03-2009, 07:22 PM

This will be our first Christmas with Max...I know that I'm getting him bully sticks and a toy or two. We are so excited to include him in our festivities and he'll be in our pictures etc. He's gonna look so cute in his Christmas sweater!

BanditSocks2 · 11-03-2009, 07:23 PM

I like the idea of making a stocking to donate to the SPCA or humane society!

Bandit "mails" a list to my mom and sister lol...him and Nala will probably get a few toys and a sweatshirt each. Nala has been deprived compared to Bandit because we got her 2 or 3 new toys when we got her but she played with ALL of Bandit's old ones so we really didn't have to get her new ones. We'll also probably get a new puppia harness so we have 2 and can have one in the wash, and a blanket...Nala still uses all Bandit's blankets.

Aww this made me smile and get teary eyed. I forget at times how blessed we are to have dogs in our lives. I think Muffin will be donating at least some of her gifts this Christmas! Thank you for the wonderful suggestion!

MizMaRLeysMoM86 · 11-03-2009, 08:15 PM

I don't know how they have as many toys as they do! I am always donating to this shelter off base that no one really knows about, and I still manage to buy enough toys for 10 dogs! I think I will be in contact with the lady that coordinates the donations for the off base shelter and see if we can't get some donations for them around the holidays

My dogs have to much now so I'll give to my shelter. They need it mine don't. And that will make me feel good.
