I know its still some time away yet but Im having a problem.We adopted a 1 1/2 year old *very* hyper dog who feels the need to tear everything up including her own toys and Im worried about when I put up our tree this year.I just know she will try to tear it up or pull off the lights or something.Is there something I could maybe put up around it that wont make it look like crap in our living room,like those white picket fences that you see around christmas displays at stores,can you even buy something like that??? HELP !!!       |

we have 2 dogs and 2 kids so every year we put up those xl yard playpens around the tree. Visitor always make fun of my for fencing off the tree, but it keeps everyone in my house safe and out of trouble. They work really well, I think in 4 years only a few ornaments have gotten broken and that was my clumbsy self doing it. |

I'd recommend an exercise pen - they can either be set up to surround your tree entirely if you got a really huge one, or if you put your tree in a corner, you can put it in front of it like a wall. They come in different colors of wire and will be apt to be useful to you throughout your ownership of the dog. Midwest is a good brand. |

It depends entirely on the height of it and the weight of the wire you want. You should be able to get a good idea by Googling it. |

the one of the Jon and Kate episode you are talking about are heavy plastic and cost around 50 bucks, this is the same kind I have used in the past |

I'm guessing its an artificial tree, but if its not I'd suggest buying a Colorado Spruce. They're really prickly and the dog will only touch it once and it won't ever again! If it's artificial I'd make sure you get fencing around it. |
New dog and christmas tree ??
