After 4 years of being married and almost 4 years of owning a house, we finally put up our first christmas tree. Today was our 4th anniversary and we spent it trying to keep Cooper from stealing the ornaments and putting up a pre-lit tree which is easier said than done, both assembly and keeping an eye on Sir Hoover. So far he is a little leary of the tree, but he has gotten a little used to it. We are hoping he will refrain from the "zoomies" because the tree will be most definately be in the path of destruction. To the left you can see Tigger, who happily sings "Santa Claus is Coming To Town", but Cooper finds Tigger to be threatning and therefore Tigger is considered dangerous and evil, but yet the 7ft tall lighted tree is non-threating in a way that he does not express his dissatisfaction with its presence and directs his dissatisfaction with Tigger by louding protesting and stalking him. He may not make it thru the night. Needless to say Copper's free roam at night and the privledge of sleeping on the couch, by himself, has been suspended until further notice.
These are the handmade christmas ornaments I made over the past few months. They are made by cutting christmas fabric into 1-2 inch squares and then pressing them into a 2 inch styrofoam ball, its looks quilted when done properly. Then you take a peice of narrow ribbon and place a straight pin into the ball to make the loop. They are very time consuming to make but when you choose the right kind of fabric, the look really unique. All of my aunts have the same type of ornaments on their trees.
Just to clarify, MOM, they are not doing what they look like they are doing, he is simply trying to bribe Cooper to lay down in front of the tree, which did not work.
