Absolutely, they have their own stockings, special Christmas dinners and stuff on Christmas day too

infact... I'm willing to spend more on my pets for Christmas than I am on any of the human members of my family.

I do even though my dog just loves playing with the wrapping paper from our presents.

We get her one of those dog stockings that has a mixture of treats and toys in it. It is always just fun to watcher try to open it...

Of course! Our pets get lots of new treats, toys and stockings on Christmas day. They also have Christmas dinner. They actually also have a Christmas tree in their room.

For my dog we get her toys and treats. We tried getting her clothes once, but she refused to wear them. As for my guinea pig, we just get her some special treats.

I haven't before but since my dog had puppies and I claimed one as my own, I was considering getting her something, like a collar and some treats.

I don't think people are crazy for getting their pets presents too, it's nice.

I would, except my silly cats won't play with any toys that we buy them. They prefer to scratch the couch instead of their scratching post and they prefer to sleep on the clean laundry rather than their own beds =P.

You better believe we do


"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it.
I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote,
“Dear Jim: I loved your card.”
Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.”
That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything.
He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

I buy my cat kitty treats every year for Christmas. Something I would buy him anyway, but I like to involve him in the Christmas stuff.
I also found a stocking that says "I love my cat"... so I put them in it. lol I don't think it's weird unless you go all out. Make sense?

Unfortunately, they can't unwrap presents themselves, so we usually just give them a special treat rather than a toy. We got them soup bones to gnaw on this year. :P

The dog is the only one to get a present this year. The cats don't play with toys. They might get a can of cat food as a treat (they usually eat dry), the guinea pig will get some extra loving, and the turkeys... well you can't buy a treat for a turkey!

I didn't vote because it depends.

I always bought my dog a present, but he passed away about a month ago. I have a fish, but I don't usually buy her a present. I cleaned her bowl last night, though. That was kind of a present.

So, I guess the answer is no, but what kind of present do you buy a betta fish? If I had a dog or cat or something, then I probably would.
