Our intention was to decorate our Christmas Tree last weekend. The blue ice cypress was one we had a few years ago. After Christmas, I planted it in the back yard. I dug it up last weekend from the back yard and hauled it inside.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the decorating did not happen,
Finally, yesterday we cleared our calendars and Jordan came over to lend a hand. The tree was a little thinner than we remembered but Jilda is a master at making Charlie Brown trees look good.
When we started decorating, a thought occurred to both of us at about the same time. Kodak. The puppy.
We both realized that decorating the tree with priceless ornaments from 45 years of marriage would be unwise.
We went to plan B. which involved using ornaments with little sentimental value that would not be too unkind to Kodak's digestive system.
We made all the dogs go outside while we decorated. Not long after we started, I glanced out the wind and saw Kodak looking in. He was enthralled.
When I got up this morning, I expected the worst, but so far he sits nearby and looks at the tree. We have our fingers crossed that he doesn't destroy it while we're distracted.
Time will tell.
