Our Pets' Christmas

Today is probably a bit of a depressing day for a lot of people as it is the first day back to work.  The Christmas festivities are a now behind us.  To cheer myself up and hopefully you too, I want to share my pets' Christmas Day with you.

This is Pumpkin's second Christmas with us and the first for Thor, Loki and Gatsby.  I had stockings over the fireplace for each of the pets and Santa came on Christmas Eve and left presents for them.  On Christmas Eve, we all snuggled up on the couch in a blanket and watched Beauty and the Beast's Enchanted Christmas. 

Gatsby was the first of our babies to find out what Santa brought.  We put a bow on him and put him under the tree as a cute present.  He actually didn't mind the bow at all.  Santa brought him lots of edible treats, squeaky toys, chew toys, anti-slip socks (which he wasn't so fond of) and a cuddly toy penguin.  He loved all his gifts but his absolute favourite was the toy penguin. It hasn't left his side since he got it.  Unfortunately he chewed the leg off his penguin which meant I spent New Year's Eve performing emergency surgery and sewing it back on.  

For Christmas he wore his Santa jacket for the day and came with us, as did all the pets to my parents' house.  He played for the day, was spoiled rotten and enjoyed some turkey and ham.  My mam got him another chew toy and a book for teaching him tricks and  training.  He had a great day and slept the whole way home snoring his brains out.

Thor and Loki were next to open their stockings.  They had chew toys, treats for their cage and a cardboard tunnel.  They didn't have as much animation as the other boys and kind of just pee'd everywhere!  They really did love their tunnel and chewed it to bits before lunch.  They came with us and played with Gatsby at my parents' house.  They had little Santa hats but only wore them for a few minutes.

Pumpkin was probably the most excited out of all the babies.  He ran around the sitting room, played with his new goodies and had a big smile on his face.  He got some mealies which were probably his favourite thing and a new snuggle sack.  He was thrilled.   He's such a happy little boy.  He sat on my knee with Gatsby in the car and had a great day at my parents' house.  He had a little Santa hat too.

I had such a lovely Christmas with my pets.  They are the sweetest little creatures.
