I use tinsel on my tree....my tree is in the living room, away from the dogs....and when I do have the tree up in the family room, I encircle it and all the gifts with a 22 in high xpen to keep the babies from going up under the tree to get to gifts or even reaching the branches to get into trouble with decorations! I have a "gold" colored xpen so it is not so glaringly evident as a "fenced in" Christmas tree! I had the most adorable pic that I took about 3 years ago, with the decorated tree and all the gifts, all surrounded by a gold xpen....and there sat 3 of my little dogs, all looking adoringly up at that tree and all the neat decorations they would have each given a leg to get ahold of!!!! It was a really adorable pic!! I wish I had made a Christmas card out of that pic! |
