No action shots, they were all too blurry because he was having so much fun playing with everything. Jax says thank you for the presents to Secret Santa Paws. Jax is a very sweet Snowshoe Siamese with pretty blue eyes.

So glad Jax is enjoying his gifts. Our Yorkie TJ says "You're Welcome!".

Cobaka and Mauser say thank you to their Santa Paws for yummy duck crunchers (I'm making them share with Geno), the giant squeaky husky (Cobaka loves it), the yellow doggy bottle toy that is Mauser's new favorite companion, and the mega last bear that Cobaka has been gnawing on this morning.

TJ says thank you to his secret Santa Paws! He is wearing his new scarf, sitting on one toy and playing with another (he LOVES the hedgehog). He also appreciates the treats :)

Happy holidays all!

This is what Atlas does with his toys when he first gets them.:)

I have been out of town but came home to two more gifts from Atlas' secret santa, Teddy.

wrapping paper for pets?
 
Just wondering if others are wrapping the Santa Paws gifts?

Put a little catnip on the gift, and the felines here will happily unwrap their own presents. Claws work really well to get the paper off. :D

Ribbons and bows however are a definite no-go around here: Cat #2 has an unholy affinity for them - they are so tasty! - and I have no desire to spend the holidays at the Emergency Vet Services clinic.

So if your pet is still awaiting the arrival of Santa Paws, are you in the "gift paper" or "no paper" school?

Cobaka and Mauser's were unwrapped, which was just perfect for them--they had easier access to their presents!

For pups, I wrapped all my presents and expected fur-parents to help with unwrapping. For kitties, I put things in glass jelly jars and vacuum sealed to prevent any unwanted accidents. I once sent a packet of homegrown catnip to my aunt and she forgot the packet in her handbag. Her cat chewed through her leather designer handbag to get at it....

I'm so glad Atlas likes the toys! It was hard finding some that might stand up to a big boy like him. My little Teddy is not so hard on toys, since he is just a 10 pound Maltese - lol.
Happy holidays to your family,
Teddy and his family

Thank you to Teddy's Secret Santa! They were very tricky and didn't sign the card, but sent a super cute stuffed toy - we call it the stuffed human, since it looks sort of like that, and some delicious treats that Teddy can't get enough of. He keeps going to the spot near the counter they are on and going on his hind legs trying to reach them. Silly dog.
And Teddy's Santa sent some thing for me as well - I am going to wait until Christmas to open it, but thanks in advance. :)
I have a cute picture of Teddy with his stuffed human, but am not sure how to post it, but many thanks from Teddy and I.

Part of my gift was sent via Amazon (sorry, didn't wrap it!) and received this week, hope they like it. Another part will follow in December.

FTers have the cutest pets! My guys (Beanie and Sox) just got photos of the two pups they sent presents across the country to - soooooo adorable! And seeing Atlas hugging his toy and Jax, TJ and all the others would brighten anyone's day.

Zoe just got two more wonderful gifts! A bag of tasty (to her :)) chicken treats, and some catnip-filled fish which she's been tearing at for the last hour. Thank you!

I just finished squeezing treats and toys into a big box that almost ended up not being big enough. I may have gone a bit overboard, but I couldn't help it :D

CDTraveler Nov 28, 2014 2:01 pm

Finished my shopping. Black Friday sales were so exhausting.

Marino received a special package yesterday, complete with a letter from his Secret Santa Zoe describing the toys within, with suggestions for enjoyment.
As you can see, Marino first carefully read the letter from Zoe (dictated to her human LM225).

He then took her advice on how to best enjoy each and every one :)

Great choices, Zoe!! Marino had a blast and loves all of his toys. Thanks so much - and we both hope that Santa brings both you and your human everything that you wish for - and more!
