Christmas
Every year we fill the Christmas tree with gifts for our four legged kids. Olivia learned very early on how to open up presents just like as a child does. She pulls one gift out at a time and opens it up, tail wagging the whole time. Louie and Lilly our cats, watch and with a little encouragement will join in. But what about Daisy? you ask…well Daisy needs a little extra TLC. Olivia’s excitement can make her nervous and ultimately shy away from the experience. We have learned giving her a large treat to focus on while Olivia rips through the gifts keeps Daisy content.
The fascinating part to me is how Daisy can feel the change in the room through Olivia’s energy. She also becomes uncomfortable with the floor being filled with wrapping paper (problem with this is the cats favorite part of Christmas is of course the wrapping paper!) so each year we must find the balance so everyone enjoys the Holiday. Daisy has and does adapted to almost all new situations but one constant for her is to keep her “safe space” i.e. her home the same. Christmas or not we will always honor Daisy’s wish. Happy Holiday’s and Happy New Year!!
