And during this short time that he has been with us, he has become quiet fond of toys. Only one small problem, he does not just like any dog toys...he is obsessed with Santa Dog toys.
We have a bucket FULL and OVERFLOWING with dog toys. Sophie, Dora and Bailey really don't care about them too much, but they are always there in case they decide to play with them. Sammie discovered the bucket of toys and fished out all the Christmas Toys and claimed them for his own.
He is rather protective of his Santa boo-boo. He has to have it when it is time for bed, nap time or when he gets over excited he goes looking for his Santa. Poor Sophie, Dora and Bailey learned rather quickly it was not worth the effort to try and take that toy back.
My only concern with this is that this will be the first Christmas Sammie will be with us. I am already worried about what might await me when I get home from work once the tree goes up and the ornaments go on the tree. Suddenly in the eyes of a very young, little dog, Santa invades the house and he is in Santa Heaven and ready to rumble.
I am counting the days till the holiday season....not in anticipation of all the decorating that goes with the season but in the thought of maybe regretfully deciding against a tree this year.
Never the less....it will be interesting I am sure!!
You put the tree up on a Friday evening, so you can see what he is going to do. If you have to tie it to the ceiling. We had to do that one year, because the cat kept knocking a HUGE tree over. Also another thing that is becoming popular is hanging the tree upside down from the ceiling. It is something to think about........but I wouldn't skip the tree at all.
ReplyDeleteWith six cats, I no longer put up a Christmas tree! LOL
ReplyDeleteI don`t think you will have to worry about Sammie he has his favorite as long as that is not on the tree I think you are safe, it is still months away.
ReplyDeleteI love love those pictures they are just so cute...
To cute. Love Sammie and his Santa Boo Boo. I miss my sweet Sammie Weenie dog...:(
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie he is and I love seeing him with his Santa toy!
ReplyDeleteSammie is so darn cute! My Noel has her "Snowman Toy" that we bought her on the day we brought her home. That was 3 years ago. I've washed it so many times and it's so faded! But it's her baby!
ReplyDeleteOh I bet Sammie would be a good boy with the x-mas tree!

Sammie is such a cutie. Isn't it funny how they pick out certain things they like? One of our cats has a thing for PINK sparkle balls. You can put out a row of all different colors, and she will choose the pink one every time!
ReplyDeleteOne year, we took 1x2 boards and made a fence and put around the tree to keep the dogs and the kittens out of it. We only needed it that one year, but it was soooo handy to just know that nobody could unwrap a present. Be well. Lane
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Your dog sure is a cutie. One of my dogs only likes tiny yellow stuffed squeekie toys. Only the yellow and preferably tiny dogs. Lol, Maybe you need to trade in your Santa ornaments for angels.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny Suzanne! I wonder what it is about the christmas ones. The red maybe? He looks so cute with his little santa toy.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Haha that is too cute! I wonder why Santa? I love dogs for all their strange little loving quirks
ReplyDeleteThis sure put a huge smile on my face:-) What a sweetie Sammie is! Who knows why he's attracted to the Santa toys, but he sure is happy.
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog via Linky. I have two minianture doxies. Peanut and Reeses. I hope you will pay me a visit at clochesandlavender.com

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - is there more than one Santa toy? You have to wonder what it is that attracts them to one thing or the other. SOOO cute!
