Christmas tree with b's
-
Other than when they were very young pups, my B's never really bothered the tree. Now opening the packages under it were a completely different story.
Thought some of you might like to see this - my grandmother had some wooden hand-painted ornaments made when my Basenji's were young. I don't know who made them and if the lady is still around. This was back in the early 1990's.

Those are beautiful, what great ornaments.

Just finished putting up my tree yesterday - it's sitting up on a crate so nothing too tempting at b-level. The only thing EL D did that made me pause … a small branch had fallen off (live tree - he hasn't touched the tree at all) and he started chewing on it and then just rolled around all over it. I guess the smell of the resin turned him on -- he just had to get some of that balsam perfume! Of course now I have resin in my carpet.

This is the only interest we found too…and only from Ariel, who is having her first Christmas (in her memory..she was a few days old last year).
But it always amazes me how calmly our dogs take the tree....the younger ones walk by, like 'oh, there is a tree in the house'...and then never show any interest again. The older ones don't even acknowledge it!

2 glass bulbs - broken by default during 2 separate B500's. You'd think I'd learn my lesson from the 1st race.
Other than that - Duke paid no attention to it his 1st Christmas last year. Daisy (her 1st this year) pretty much followed suit this year with Duke - ignoring the shiny ball shapes hanging on the tree. It was their uncontrollable desire to race, chase and dodge each other under and around the tree.
Time to put it all away … (sigh)

One tree I had the dogs like to go under it and 'scratch' their back on the branches - they were careful after the tree fell on them a couple of times. Then I got a tree with very little floor clearance - they did the army crawl to get under it once but must have proved unsatisfying cause they never did it again.
