THIS.. is why I don't "do" Xmas trees. LOL My pets. I know my male dog would pee on it and the cats would DESTROY the crap out of it. Also I'm allergic... And ornaments are dangerous to animals. And... I think the tree water (if real, duh) is toxic to them as well. All of these things add credibility to my total lack of participation in the Xmas department. Thank you animals. ;-)
