i get our dog and cat a stocking each and going to get the ferrets a rabbit each and give the terrapins live fish each and the iguanas have there fav fruits
i carnt wait untill xmas as its my daughter first one and there is going jam packed in our living room

I wait because alot of the rescues do auctions which means it's win win, I get nice gifts for the dogs and the rescues get donations.
This year I'm on a serious budget though so my dogs will not be getting anything (seriously there isn't anything they actually need!!) so I can give what little spare cash I can to help out the less fortunate dogs.

Maybe worth thinking about making up a parcel for a dog at your local rescue to give in the name of your lucky pampered pooch? Certainly gives me a good feeling when I do it?

Oh and the other thing to look out for is Wilko's and those sorts of places after Xmas massively reduce the pet gift pack prices, I usually save £10 and then go and buy as many as I can to give to rescue. Lets be honest the dogs don't care if their pressie comes after Xmas day now do they???

mine will get a big rawhide bone each and maybe a toy to share....

I get them closer to christmas

well i already donate to my local rescue not loads but every little helps and listen at this you will be dead proud of me my auntie had to have her dog pts a month ago(12yrs black staffie) well she was going buy one from a breeder and i managed talk her into a rescue as there so many staffies that need a good home so maybe at the weekend we will be going visit a few

in pets at home i saw some flyball and agility stuff for 15 quid so mite buy something and see if Geordie enjoys it before looking about getting her into a club. plus since its her first xmas with us she may just get a bit spoiled and thats not just from us - i know my parents etc have already bought her treats etc hehe

I think I can let you off, you've certainly done your far share for rescues with your lot!

Well done pursuading your auntie, sadly I know she'll be spoilt for choice but I'm sure she'll find her perfect dog. We've just rehomed the most beautiful little girlie staffie I've ever seen, she had a smile that would brighten the world and just the sweetest most gentle creature I've ever met!! I'd challenge anyone to have not fallen for her, had trouble getting her out of the vets because he wanted to keep her!! He said she woke up from the anesthetic (after being spayed) and first thing she did was give the nurse the biggest kiss!!
