This Christmas, Ken and I were deciding what to do about a tree. I had bought a pretty artificial at our annual Pawzaar for the Humane Society, but it didn't work out! Andy has a habit of chewing on anything that isn't real, and began his ritual on the tree. I told him no, which became Bobby's cue to begin the watch, guarding the tree from unwanted predators. So when Andy went back under the tree, Bobby went into action. He went under the tree, chased Andy around the bottom, which sent the tree spinning in circles. So the tree is going to Becky, which left us with what we'd do for a tree. Ken can't see, well I somewhat agree, paying for a tree that will go out to the burning pile. We came to a good solution. Since an artificial was not going to work, we went to Western Tree Farm, and bought a living tree. After Christmas, it will go into the yard to grow into the beautiful tree it had the right to be. For slightly more than a cut tree, we now have a tree that will keep on giving, and in the years to come, will be joined with others!

From a three ring circus to peace and beauty. Great solution Laurie. I wish I would have been able to see those two though. teehee
Hope it does well and survives the replanting!
Okay, I know I'm not supposed to be laughing but I am...you describe the running and chasing event so thoroughly! Glad you were able to come up with a new idea!
Bless you always and those fur kids as well!

Can't wait to see the tree in person, Laurie. It's beautiful - and I WILL go with you next year and start my own Living Tree tradition.
