Oh such brave people!!!!!

I've got a 2ft tree this year. Am so paranoid about Memphis and the tree that I unplug it and stick it in the kitchen with the door closed over night so I don't get any nasty surprises in the morning  :evillaugh: I also don't put it out until I'm able to tree sit  :evillaugh:  I made some paper chains for house decorations and only put them in areas he cannot get too  :evillaugh:

He has done some damage though!!! Got some gorgeous purple and white lights to stick around the house, less than 24 hours with them the little  :naughty: boy chewed them!! Luckily though they weren't plugged in at the time, but they got binned as he did so much damage they would have been dangerous (plus wouldn't have even worked!)  :doh:

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

Well mine are obviously in the minority. They don't seem bothered by it at all. Are they do is sleep and hide toys under it  :evillaugh:

I got home last night and it was in one piece.

When I was pottering around I noticed Jess sitting under the tree, I went and praised him and made a fuss as his never been this close before. Then I noticed the tree moving out of the corner of my eye and the pics below are what I saw  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

I left Milo for a few minutes to see what he did and he just made his way up the tree I did eventually pull him out and he didn't go near it for the rest of the evening.

I wanted to put our tree up but hubby wouldn't get it out the loft for me as he said it was too early and I couldn't go dragging it down from the loft being pregnant  >:(   He is getting it down for me this weekend.

We put ours up at the weekend too and I must say, I am impressed that it's not been pulled down again! Rufus and Jasper haven't quite climbed it (as yet!) but definately enjoy the ball balls!  :evillaugh:

Let the fun begin!  :shify:

We put the tree up yesterday it has no decorations on it. Originally we placed it where it was last year, straight away Milo started chewing it and climbing it!!! We spent all afternoon saying no milo!!!!!  >:(

Jess was quite scared of it and didn't go near it and wouldn't walk past it.

After about 3 hours I decided to move it into a different place as I was getting worried about stressing Jess out, this way its right in the corner and he doesn't need to go near it unless he wants too.

We're going to monitor the situation and see what happens, I'm more worried at this stage about stressing Jess out. So I'm back on wee monitoring (well I do this anyway) and adding a little more water than normal to his food to hopefully keep him weeing.

If everything goes okay this week, the tree decorations will be slowly added this weekend.

I have a feeling christmas might get stressful.
