The worst of them appeared around the time that we had our big Husky dog. Rather coincidentally, the trees always threw themselves across the floor while we were away from the house for a few hours. The Husky, taking this opportunity, would chew up any of the more intriguing ornaments on the tree...such as the little "nest" with 3 yellow birds made from chicken feathers. Imitation birds were always a favourite. We never had an angel on our tree, but instead, I put an elegant silvery deer with graceful antlers on the top. On at least one tree fall, the deer received moderate nibbles and after a few years, its antlers were nothing more than pathetic stubs. Our one and only housecat would hide in the fallen tree, and growl when we tried to put it back upright. But then, he always hid among the presents under the standing tree and hissed and shot out his claws at anyone or anything that came too close to HIS possessions.
