I put up my Christmas tree!
It's a smaller one and so far so good with the cats.
I love it!@
I had thought about putting it up in the garage, to keep it safe from the cats. Then I planned on getting a $5 Forest Service Christmas Tree permit and going out to cut one. I checked out the maps in the Willamette Forest where I could go cut and had determined to go up Quartzville road to cut one. The permit area up there starts just after Yellowbottom.
When I was a kid, that's always how we got our tree, going out into the National Forest to cut one. They were never perfect and you might get some bugs bailing at home, but it was a tradition and often done in pouring rain.
But in the end, this little one is just fine.
Mona Lisa is doing very well after her 8 exractions, all Level Four. The bill for everything she got, including a convenia injection (long lasting antibiotic) was way lower than I thought it would be. Now I am saving up to get her sister in. If hers were that bad, likely her sister Huckleberry has bad teeth too.
I'm so glad the cost proved lower than expected and that Mona Lisa is doing well. ~hugs~ Nice tree, my dear!
ReplyDeleteYes, she is doing so well now. I am anxious to get her sister in.
DeleteYour tree looks sweet. Phyllis erected his Christmas tree here three nights ago and overnight Jass dismantled most of it. She also thought two thirds up was a great place to peak out from to see what was happening. The next night I sprayed it with room deodoriser and she left it alone, and didn't touch it last night either.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I may give that one a shot.
DeleteI've bought a proper cat deterrent spray, also for use on the back of my desk chair which she rather likes to use as a scratching pole.
DeleteYour tree is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe tree looks great. Hopefully the cats will leave it alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope they do but I think I'll give Andrews solution a try.
DeleteI am glad that your tree is inside so you can see it more. My father always cut our tree from the woods. They were huge and mishapened, but we loved them.
ReplyDeleteIt was our yearly tradition, to head out, usually in the rain, to find a tree out in the forest. Ours too were generally too big and mishaped, and we'd have to clean debris and bugs out of them, but that's how most people got their trees then.
