[Dailydrool] Tree trouble

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

For the past couple years after our tall living room tree died we've had a  6 
foot tree on an end table in the front window.  Its worked but I've  always 
hated the table.  I usually wrap the table with bright red foil  paper to look 
like a present and it works fine.  Last year I wanted a 7 1/2  foot tree that 
stands directly on the floor.  So after countless store  searches my daughter 
and I found a beautiful prelit one.  
 
Last year the only problem we had with the furkids was that they tried  
eating the ornaments off the lower branches.  So our tree is bare on the  bottom 
two rows.  I LOVE JULIE'S BELLS IDEA and I am stealing it - the  highest 
compliment is when someone steals your idea you know.  Do you  string them together?
 
But, I digress - the reason I post is to warn you about something our silly  
girl Ellie did before the tree was even up this year! I had the bottom section 
 set up and was fluffing branches when Ellie walked over and just crunched a 
bulb  right off the branch - she sat there chewing like she'd found a great 
snack! I  thought OMG and cleaned out her mouth.  Then I had to set about 
carefully  removing the bulb and replacing the glass part into the holder because 
for some  reason Christmas tree bulbs are NOT universal! 
 
So I guess the dogs can't be left in the living room alone anymore when I  
run errands.  Thank God she hasn't touched it since, but we're watching her  
like a hawk.  The bells would probably help with this too, but I better get  big 
ones that she can't bite and then choke on.
 
Happy Howlidays to all!
