Hi, I’m Dr. Maja! Read my introduction to study extra about me and my two crossbreed canines, Lava and Hela.
Christmas time lastly! Filled with pleasure, household traditions, nice meals, and laughter. Or for those who ask my canines, tasty treats, new toys, and lengthy walks. And then it begins. With social media insanity, you’ll be able to’t keep away from seeing footage of different individuals’s pets in varied festive costumes across the tree and the like. They all look so glad and content material! And I needed to marvel, what would Lava consider this? Well, I ought to have identified higher; she wasn’t impressed. But the look on her face was priceless.
Does Lava Hate Christmas or Just Dressing Up?
Lava is a grump. She has a knack for making the kinds of facial expressions that present the utmost displeasure and annoyance. It’s so humorous, and he or she will need to have realized we discover it entertaining, so she retains doing it. Lava is a really cussed canine. She hates all the pieces that wasn’t her personal alternative. And that is the place costumes are available in.
In all honesty, I haven’t even thought of getting her a correct physique costume, as she is so large and has such dense fur that she can be too scorching in it. But a scarf is a unique story. I discovered a cute reindeer one, but it surely wasn’t straightforward to get her to maintain it on. It took me days and a variety of treats to get her to tolerate it for not less than a couple of minutes, and for her to appreciate it’s nothing that dramatic. But she disagreed and put up a face prefer it was the worst factor that ever occurred to her. At least in her reminiscence.
But She Looks So Cute
I don’t suppose that Lava cares a lot about Christmas as such. But she does care deeply in regards to the headband. She hates carrying it. I did, nonetheless, handle to take just a few footage of her. Some look lovely, whereas others nearly seem as if she is being tortured. Lava is a drama queen, and that is apparent in lots of the photographs I’ve taken of her over the previous few years, in addition to final Christmas. This 12 months, I made a decision to respect her want to not put on the headscarf.
What Lava Loves About This Time of Year
Otherwise, I do know Lava loves the wintertime. Although she enjoys the good outside, mendacity down subsequent to the hearth, not less than for quarter-hour till she realizes it’s approach too heat for her, and snoozing all through the afternoon are her second-best pastimes. Third place goes to choosing up the logs and sticks that will likely be used within the fire, however as a substitute of taking them to the hearth, she carries them to the couch and chews them on there. And she appears utterly confused once I take them from her and try to clear the mess earlier than my mum sees it.
And then we sometimes get snow. If we’re fortunate sufficient to have sufficient of it to stay to the bottom, Lava can’t wait to be out, working round like a loony, rolling in it on her again, chasing the cat, and getting her complete head beneath the snow, sniffing for issues beneath. It’s a pleasure to look at her.
The Christmas Tree Is Far More Interesting
Lava additionally loves the Christmas tree. When she was only a pet, she tried to take the decorations down and chew on the branches. She loves a superb stick. Now she is aware of higher, however her waggy tail is much more of a hazard. It knocks down the decorative balls from the bottom and furthest branches. This is without doubt one of the the reason why, for this 12 months, I’m significantly contemplating having the tree exterior, the place it’s out of the attain of two clumsy and curious canines, and now three cats. Otherwise, it could be a short-lived Christmas tree.
Festive Season With Pets
I benefit from the Christmas time of the 12 months, however I wouldn’t say I’m loopy about it, like some. And having canines and cats limits what number of decorations you’ll be able to put up. And the place. Everything must be very excessive up and out of attain of those 5 creatures; in any other case, it could be chaos. But it nonetheless seems like Christmas.
