MomOfOneFunOne Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We have a dog, a lovey, and 6 chickens. Pooch got some canned dog food and a new collar. Lovey got a new cuddly house for her cage. Chickens are getting a mellon. Yes, it's true, we get our pets gifts every year. It's usually something they need or would have gotten in the course of the yr anyway. how about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I didn't, but my dd insists that each pet gets a stocking full of gifts. So yes, she purchased everything for 1 fish, 2 birds, 2 dogs, 1 cat plus the 1 cat we are cat-sitting for 2 weeks. I keep telling her that the pets don't care if they get gifts, but then she quotes different scripture verses about all creation declaring the Lord's glory and wants to debate the topic. She is certain that all animals KNOW it is Christmas. The logic stage is fun. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes. We are getting our Maltese some new chew toys and some treats. Stuff he needs, but the girls like doing it as gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yep, I got the pooch a new bed, a fuzzy chew toy and a Kong. Usually I get the kitties something but nothing floated my boat this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ds7 recently informed me that I overlooked this and need to fix it before Christmas. :001_huh: The dog will be happy with a chew toy, but what do you get a lizard for Christmas?

TXMomof4 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 DD got the dog toys before she got her siblings gifts. We know who rates in this house! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 the barn animals get apples, carrots and each get a beer or a high ball. Yes, they do. :tongue_smilie: The house pets get scraps. I sometimes get them gifts but this year I'm a little off. They will be blessed nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Our chihuahua is getting a new bed. Only because Kohl's put the Animal Planet beds on sale for $5 :hurray: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, the dog gets new "tugs" every year. And the cats get a case of canned cat food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Why of course! The dogs got a test run on their new toys the day I got them, then I put them away for Santa to bring. The cat is a little hard as he stares at toys, but has a special diet so canned food doesn't work either. He got a cheap toy for his stocking.

OnTheBrink Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, the dog has some new toys. I've not gotten the cats anything; they don't seem to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes. Santa usually gets the dog & cat a toy and a treat, but this year dd wanted to put together some dog & cat "trail mix" for them! We got a bunch of different treats, and she mixed them up. She also drew a picture of the dog for the cat for Christmas, and vice versa. Very excited.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin Learnin Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We put our dog down about a month ago and we miss her terribly. :angelsad2: For her first Christmas when she was a puppy we bought her a bunch of play toys and she ate the stuffing from one of her balls and needed emergency intestinal surgery. It cost us a fortune. We never bought her another toy except tennis balls and we had to watch her closely with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvenice Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I guess I'm a humbug about the pets, but the dog, guinea pig, fish, and cockatiel are happy as can be without presents or stockings. It's nice to have one group that I don't need to purchase gifts for...they probably understand the true meaning of Christmas instinctually anyway ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yup, of course!! They are the fun ones for my to purchase gifts. They. never. complain!! And, the children use the toys to play with the animals. Perfect!! Kitty cat *new* has a new toy to swing around with exchangeable ends. Older Kitty has...hmmm... can't remember, but a gift. (The new kitty was her Christmas gift, right? She finally doesn't find him a curse, at least) And the puppy dog (age 5 :)) is getting smoked trachea. A favorite :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Oh, yes! We have a stocking for Baby Doggy and he gets lots of treats and toys. I also bake him pumpkin oatmeal cookies so he can have special treats while we are having our Holiday desserts. Baby Doggy DOES know it's Christmas. He also gets his feelings hurt if we are opening presents and he doesn't get to. I have to hide his gifts until Christmas morning because he will try to open them when no one is watching. When I bring them out, he knows how to open them. He's so funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We don't have any pets, but my younger son has this well-loved, tattered Webkinz stuffed animal beagle that is practically attached to him. One year we jokingly asked him what Buster wanted for Christmas. And Santa has brought him a present every year since.:leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We have five snails and a fish. No, they don't get gifts. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyFL Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes. They got a new bed and treats. My mom used to wrap up a hot dog every year for the dog we had growing up. We would go in the kitchen and watch him unwrap his gift. Of course the hot dog made it REALLY exciting for him! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Our cats get new toy mice but I couldn't find any this year so they got a catnip toy. Our rabbit got a barbell made out of some sorts of edible sticks with bells inside. Our outdoor rabbits will each get a Christmas cookie. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiMomNP Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, the two dogs and two cats have a mountain of presents under the tree and they each will get a stocking stuffed with toys and treats on Christmas morning. We went a little hog wild this year on the kid, the animals and ourselves :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 This is our first Christmas with a dog..and since the kids each wanted to get him something, he has a ton of gifts! LOL! New Nylabone, new rawhide bone, new pet bed, 2 new fleece blankets, a bag of doggy treats....AND we made him homemade Peanut Butter doggy cookies!

AuntPol Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We have one stocking that is for all the pets combined. Our dog is getting a new chew bone plus he got some homemade treats from my FIL/S-MIL. The cats got a stocking of different cat nip treats, and the chinchillas are getting new chew sticks!

TravelingChris Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Older dd went out and got some today. My over 10 yo dog got a new, pillow type dog bed for more comfort. My cat got a new toy to swat at. My girls' hamsters have a new climbing toy. Fish and hermit crabs got nothing. Oh and dog and cat got plastic covers for the dog and cat canned food. (THe vet recommended adding canned to dog to help him keep up his weight and for cat to reduce his). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, we did. Our Llewellin Setter puppy is getting a chew toy from her "Grandma" all the way in Aruba, and from us a bone, a chew toy, new collar and leash, cans of sardines and canned dog food.

Mrs Mungo Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We usually do, our dog even has his own stocking. However, he has already been sent back CONUS to stay with my aunt until we get moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We do!! DD got her a new leash and collar. DS got her one of those things you can throw balls with. I made her one of those tied fleece blankets from DH and me. In her stocking, she's getting some wet dog food and some dog treats. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2jjka Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes - the dog gets a new bed and some bully sticks, and the cats will each get a can of 'wet' food (a rare treat.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey Mom Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I baked my dogs Peanut Butter Banana 'cookies' (and some for MIL's dogs too), and the boys each picked out a new stuffed toy for them. The lab is getting a mallard duck, which she will 'kill' in less than 10 minutes, and the mastiff is getting a rubber chicken, which will probably scare the crap out of him as soon as he bites down on it.

Denise in Florida Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yes, Dog got a new toy, which he will rip apart in less than 2 days. Cats get a catnip sock each. One cat will slobber hers into a disgusting 'tea bag' soggy mess. The other cat will gently rub her cheek on her catnip sock over and over and over until she practically passes out. Horse gets flax treats. Nothing planned for the chickens though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I was just wondering about this! We bought our dog a new bed. I was debating whether or not to wrap it and my husband said, "Well, he's already seen it." :lol::lol: Pet lovers are crazy people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
