Holiday Gifts

When it comes to the Holidays, what do you put in your pets’ stockings?

Personally, while I do purchase an annual frou-frou outfit for my neighbor’s tiny poo-dell, Gracie, (because she looks so rediculous cute in pink tutus), I am not so good at gifting the feathered and furry friends in my own abode. What is up with that? Bad mommie!

I’ve decided to blame the bad economy with my Grinch-like tendencies this year. But luckily for my cat and parrots, my friends have taken pity on them.

Squiggy received a new catnip mouse. Don’t tell my friend, but Squiggy has dissed the mouse. I guess she’s off the leaves right now. 

Goose the tiel and Gaia the African Gray got treat sticks from this same pal. Goose has already decimated his. Gaia is waiting to see if the large seed-bearing object has any parrot-eating capabilities. Once she finally figures it’s safe to nosh, she’ll be on that thing like the proverbial duck/junebug.

I was perusing some websites to see what a good parent would give their Fifi or Fido and came across this story from better economic days. Don’t let your pets read over your shoulder or they may beg, whine and wheedle for their own pearl necklaces and cell phones.

Happy Holidays!
