Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

Every upper crust pup needs a pink Christmas tree and what should they find under that tree on Christmas morning? Something pink to match!
Here’s my pick for the top five PINK gifts to give…or receive this upcoming holiday  -  plus a must-have pink poodle lighted yard ornament to let the neighbors know  to forget the reindeer this year it’s all about the dog!
Starting at a very affordable $6.99 to $725.00…there’s something for every good dog on your list this year!

Before Santa arrives you want to make sure he knows there's a pink loving upper crust pup living at your address. Signal him with this delightful pink poodle lighted yard ornament from Lowe's. Regardless of how high Rudolph takes him he'll be sure and see the pink sparkling lights from the sky. He won't mind it's a poodle because even poodles can be upper crust pups!

We mustn’t forget a few holiday safety tips!

1.      I, Carly, love my pink Christmas tree but it’s important to secure so it doesn’t tip and cause any injuries to pets. If you insist upon a real tree, one that’s green rather than pink – well there’s no accounting for your taste but make sure the water in its stand is always full and fresh. Stagnant water isn’t good for pets to consume. If you had bought your upper crust pup a new dish for Christmas we probably wouldn't feel the need to drink from a tree stand.

2.      I, Carly, love that sparkling tinsel as would any upper crust pup but forgo it because it can be tempting for a pet to take a nibble on some – especially, in a house with C.A.T.S. --- they love to climb a tree and pull down the tinsel then watch us doggies eat it.

3.      Furry Feast. I, Carly, love anything that’s edible but there are some things we doggies shouldn’t eat that might be found around near the holidays: those chocolate goodies the humans gorge themselves on, as well as leftover turkey bones, spicy and fatty food stuffs. So you might want to keep that stuff put up because I, Carly, like so many pets, have figured out a pulled out chair is the first small step for pets to the table when you’re not looking!

4.      Toys. If it isn’t a stuffed squirrel, then I, Carly really have no use to for it; however, many well meaning humans like to give you toys and they don’t always splurge so avoid chewing on those cheap toys where the stuffing comes out. It’s a choking hazard as well as an intestine blocking hazard.

5.      Mistletoe? Really, like I, Carly need mistletoe to slobber all over some human’s face. Dump the mistletoe or at least get one of those fake mistletoes that you hang up out of our reach. And some varieties of lilies can be equally bad for pets to consume.

6.      Guests. If they don’t love dogs don’t invite them. But if you insist, find a nice quiet place where I can lay my head and count off the minutes until they leave with their little children that think dog’s ears and tails are for pulling us around like one of those plastic pull toys. Sometimes I’m really grateful for my docked tail. Feel free to shut the C.A.T. in the bathroom.

7.      Cocktails: You humans consume some pretty strange liquids and as humorous as I, Carly, find you to be after said consumption you might not want to leave it where your pets can drink it…as we just might be thirsty after you’ve slipped a few slices of holiday ham under the table to us.

8.      Wired Up: Wires, especially some that haven’t been a part of the household landscape all year might look appealing for chewing on. It can be rather shocking to us, so wrap them up and hang ‘em high.

9.      Ornaments and Their Hooks: Forgo the breakable ornaments and make sure the hooks are secured well, not only to each ornament but to the tree limbs. For those with upper crust puppies you might want to forgo hanging ornaments on the lower branches and put a short X-pen around the tree.

10.  Have a jolly Christmas and if you really have to burn some candles please keep them away from our tails…yes, even the C.A.T.’s tail. Blow the candles out when you leave a room...please.

Patience is a virtue! We'll soon have our website up and you'll be able to see all my musings in one place. (www.UpperCrustPup.com) - but in the mean time check out my facebook page with links to all those blogs at: www.facebook.com/uppercrustpup
