who buys xmas gifts for their pets?

i do. this year my chihuahua got a giant bag of beggin' strips (treats) and some rawhide bones. he's part of the family too, so why not? :dthumb:

My fish is going to get a new can of fish food.........:leaving:

:nonod: cheapskate :lol:

my poor fish needs his tank cleaned, it has a nice green film on the sides. i hate doing it though, it's such a PITA.

Our cats are so spoiled, I don't know that they'd even know the difference between treats and toys given on Christmas versus every other day of the year. :lol:

That's why you have about three or four algea eaters..... for the record, I'm getting the good fish food :dthumb: it's a beta fish. i can't put any other fish with it or it will kill them, right? carry on, sir. :dthumb:

it's a beta fish. i can't put any other fish with it or it will kill them, right? carry on, sir. :dthumb: algea eaters only eat algea that builds up on the inside of the tank and gold fish are whimps, they only eat fish food.

Try gold fish :whistle: :lol: Um, no, they do just fine on science diet, and I'd like to keep it that way!

are you telling her to try feeding her cats goldfish? :lol: I plead the 5th.

:lol: My cats would simply play with the goldfish till it stopped moving, then they'd get bored and go back to playing with the blinds.

Try not feeding them for a few days.......:lol: Wouldn't do any good... they know how to open the pantry. They'd just self serve.

Wouldn't do any good... they know how to open the pantry. They'd just self serve. Cats are too darn smart these days :bash:

you can add fish to the japanesse fighting fish (beta's) aslong as the tank is big enough and its not another male fighting fish.....

i got my dog one of those cow femurs, things huge compared to her

we gave are dogs whole stockings full of assorted treats they have spent the past two days trying to figure out how to get the stockings down.

I do. Scratching post, chase toys, etc.

Doggy bed and lots of treats. Parents are getting him stuff too.

I got my girl friends dogs sqeekie toys and I gave this little guy a home. She is such a sweetie. her name is gwen von dutch She was a lab-bun for the local community college vet-tech program, they used her to pratice blood draws on, so she is used to being handled all the time and is so out going and attention starved. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/cudaeh/genral/vondutch002.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/cudaeh/genral/vondutch001.jpg

you can add fish to the japanesse fighting fish (beta's) aslong as the tank is big enough and its not another male fighting fish..... Exactly... I use to have all kinds of fish tanks. 20, 29, 55... you name it... but they suck... too much time required to keep it running and clean. I didn't really buy the pets (bird and cats) anything. They get stuff all year. Now if I still had the dog I would have... cause they get really excited about new stuff. Cats..who knows with them. The bird hates everything new till its been in her house for a few days... then she'll start to detroy it.

Did I ever tell you that I hate cats

Of course you know I did, LOL. They got a bunch of plush squeaky toys (I still can't believe their not all dead yet), nylabones & compressed rawhides. They have been having a blast. It was funny though, Oscar one of my foster dogs, was the first to have Christmas.....woke up to him eating wrapping paper off a gift for my dad! :willy:

English Bulldog. http://bostondirtdogs.boston.com/Headline_Archives/BDD_Harley_new_year.jpg isn't that a boston bulldog??? :scratch: :lol:

my poor fish needs his tank cleaned, it has a nice green film on the sides. i hate doing it though, it's such a PITA. PITA??? you mean people eating tasty animals :slol: :sorry: couldn't pass that up :lol:

i usually do but none of my cats or dogs ever seems to notice any difference btw gifts or just run of the mill treats...and with 9 to provide for and keep distracted...its gets a lil confusing anyway...i have some that love their stuffed "babies" but freak out when the others touch them, and then some that want to play/destroy with cat toys...and the cats prefer to drag my stuff around instead of playing with toys...so most of the time its not worth the hassle, they get chewies year round...

isn't that a boston bulldog??? :scratch: :lol: He's a proud fan.
