Toppling Tree

[boxerfan]

We just arrived home after a few hours away and discovered our Christmas tree had fallen over! This was a first for me...lights and ornaments everywhere, water soaked into the carpet :(.

My husband walked in a few minutes behind us and said "How did that happen...did you leave Ali out of the crate?" Just what is he suggesting? Little does he know that Ali wasn't even home - I took her to doggie day care (but that's OUR little secret :D!

Hi Candy
I must tell you that it is not officially Christmas in our house until the tree topples over. Once that has happened the season is official for us. I have a sneaky suspicion that Buddy has been responsible a couple of times, as he has come flying out of the room with a mouth full of pine needles. However last year I can vouch for Buddy's innocence. I was talking on the phone, Buddy was sound asleep beside me, and all at once the tree came over. Water and decorations everywhere. I can hardly wait to see how Kailee is with the tree!! Gotta love the secret you and Ali have. $10.00 a day is great. I wish we had one around here for my two to go to. Of course we too would have to keep it on the hush.

Our tree toppled over (once) and I have the secret for keeping it from toppling over. My husband and I use our dive weights on the stand. The weights we have are the lead shot in the mesh bags (in 3 or 5 lb) so they conform to the base of the stand/tree. You can get these wherever they sell Scuba accessories/gear.
