A pet proof Christmas tree?

[Catherine]

Quote: I recall when I was 8 and we had a new pup that Christmas. She was only about 9 or 10 weeks old. My mother built a guard contraption out of an old fireguard, and that encircled the tree, so the little pup couldn't get near it.

That was creative thinking. I am sure a pup couldn't resist something bright and shinny like a Christmas tree.

Good point about a dog peeing on the tree. Normally dogs wouldn't get close to a tree with needles, but the half tree would be irresistible.

I usually tie the tree to the ceiling and put the unbreakable ornaments on the bottom. This Christmas I am pretty sure the bunny will be pulling things off the tree. I shall have to decorate creatively so bunny and tree will both be safe.
