    Here we go:



    Thanks very much to our secret santa, I enjoyed it just as much as he did. Nearly two hours later, the blue squeeky toy no longer squeeks and the green duck no longer has legs and he is still playing with them, big thumbs up for the liver treats too. As for the flashy tag, he might have preferred his toys and treats but I love it and it's going on in the morning before we head out.

    That was a fantastic video of cooper!

    Well, both ss pressies were opened here with very different results:D

    Tara playing? with one of her toys

    Can't load video - will try again later!

    Now- Rusty is on his rounds as chief watchdog of the neighbourhood, and Tara is crying over her toy - squeekers send her mental:D

    Thank you very much to their secret santa's - Merry Christmas!

    Here Jago opening his present!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vqZe3tvr9A&feature=youtu.be

    a quick video.. he decided to open the present in his favorite place :D

    Have to be honest! When Jago finished to open the present and I saw the box I thought "???? mmmh ????" was not supposed to be a dog present???
    :(
    then I had the intelligent idea to open the box :D (my mind still sleeping) and yep, saw the balls, the treats and the very nice card from a charity :)
    Thanks to our SS also for the fun!!!

    Nala loved her pressie especially the rudolf teddy, she wouldn't leave it to go out to pee. She was nice enough to share the other one with her foster brother elvis! Thanks to her ss


  • Registered Users Posts: 952 ✭✭✭Themadhouse


    Bart loved his present and his home made card. He got some fab stuff but one thing I do have make a special mention about. Bart is allergic to chicken and cannot eat anything that contains chicken or chicken/poultry fat or meat derivitives. His secret santa had this info and went above and beyond to find a bag of treats for Bart that has none of the above in it which is brilliant! I am delighted and so will Bart when he gets his treats later. Thank you so much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 952 ✭✭✭Themadhouse


    Fred in true form is taking it all in his stride. He was very pleases with a box of treats and a super toy that he wil really enjoy! Thank you!


  • Registered Users Posts: 952 ✭✭✭Themadhouse


    Fred and Bart waiting patiently to open presents.

    Well after 2 hrs of playing and crying over her toy - it's been confiscated! Sorry Tara I need a break!! You can go and play with your other stuff!

    Although I think she thinks we are playing hide and seek as she is running round the house looking for it:-P


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,412 ✭✭✭toadfly


    Lexi was sick this morning so hopefully she is better when I get home from work and we'll open the presents then. Thanks SS!


  • Registered Users Posts: 838 ✭✭✭bluecherry74


    Big thanks to my pets' three Secret Santas! I think I know who all of you are now. :D

    I'll start with the dogs... sorry about the blurred photos. No one would sit still.

    The presents were beautifully wrapped in kitten paper. Henry took ages deciding which to open first.

    He was delighted with the toys - rope toys are his favourite and for some reason he also loves small toys that he can take into his bed and lick. :confused: (Note Jess's look of feigned disinterest. He did share his treats with her afterwards though.)

    Kiwi the chicken was up next. I'm delighted with their presents and the handmade card and labels!

    6fr1uu.jpg

    I hung up one of the pecking blocks using sparkly Christmas ribbon as I coudn't find any string. They were all a bit dubious at first about this strange thing hanging from the sky...

    2ntle6b.jpg

    but I looked out a while ago and they were all gathered around it. No point in trying to get a pic because if I go out they'll all just stampede towards me. :rolleyes:

    Kiwi is ecstatic, she's so very happy. No, really, she is.

    Louise was up next and she was overcome with so many presents. :) The homemade ones were a big hit and she spent a few minutes kicking and shredding one of them.

    She also absolutely LOVED the snake!

    Freddie put in an appearance and managed to choose the most girly toy to play with.

    All their cards are under the tree.

    Big thanks again, you've made me and my pets very happy!

    ETA: Massive, big, huge thanks to SillyMangoX for organising it this year! I can't imagine how much work it must have been!

    Happy Secret Santa day!! Eddie had a great time. Thanks a million for all his gorgeous pressies. He got the same fab fleecey blanket that Beanie got in the first years SS. :D

    In true cat style he also loved the wrapping paper as much as the presents :p:pac:

    I always let the hens out of their run to roam around the garden at the weekend. Salt, Pepper and Squid are out raiding what's left of my vegetable patch, but Kiwi is still in the run working on her pecking block. I think I can safely say it's a success. :D

    Thanks so much to buddy's secret Santa. He loves his kong wubba. He's knocking great craic out of it here :) I can't throw it without singing "WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY"!!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,229 ✭✭✭jellybear


    Thank you so much Ozzy and Brody for Rosie's fantastic Secret Santa presents! She loves them!:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,983 ✭✭✭Raminahobbin


    Today was official opening day, but Kayla cheated...I took the package in out of the car last week as I was cleaning it, and herself managed to find it and make the tiny tear on the side a bit bigger, running off with glee brandishing the (I assume) wonderfully aromatic pig's ear that was contained within. Her first one ever, and she thoroughly enjoyed it!!
    9435e517-d04c-4904-a0a2-4fe92e78f783_zpsec5ef359.jpg

    She finally got to open the rest of her package late last night (after midnight ;) )

    73d1a46f-e6a6-4d4e-8718-6b7dd8425fe5_zpse994bf2c.jpg

    She immediately ran off with the rawhide shoe inside and spent a satisfying age demolishing it (I'll try upload a vid later) before retiring to bed, completely tuckered out, to snuggle under her lovely new fleece...

    a006c145-5c0c-4535-9512-da3909d823cf_zpsfabc006e.jpg

    THANK YOU so much to her Secret Santa, she loved her prezzies :D:D
    Pretty sure I know who sent the package if the card is anything to go by- thank you for all the goodies, Kayla had a ball (speaking of- I've been trying to get a decent picture with that ball in her mouth but she won't sit still!! It looks hilarious though :D )

    Thanks so much to Bailey and Lucy's Secret Santas for their lovely presents! :) I recorded Bailey opening his but it came out too dark/grainy :( Lucy opening her's is below - the squeaky santa is her fav so far :) (She's still mucky from our morning walk in the video - normally she's clean lol! )

    Thank you so much to Jazz and Walters SS. I have a video of Walter working hard at unwrapping his.... figured out why when he pulled out a pigs ear. He was over the mmoon, he had never had one before.
    Jazz's secret santa must have spent ages on her presents, they were beautifully wrapped and she had a grwat time unwrapping them
    I will upload pics/video when I'm back on laptop


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Dude loves his little tennis balls, I can't put up pictures as any I took are a bit graphic with stitches on display but he loves them, he already loved the little mice from when we opened them, and the ball circuit thing, I attached it onto the rest of the one we have and have made a giant one now so he is going crazy with it :D
