    There's balls EVERYWHERE!!! :D Big thanks to Freddie and Jessie's secret santas. They're delighted. I'll post some photos in the morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭zef


    Hope Dobbys present arrives tomorrow.
    Some lovely photos of everyones pets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Dubl07


    A scarf has been savagely chewed, but a photo was taken. A turkey has been eviscerated. Ditto. The rope and squeaky toy AND blanket have been less exciting to date but much appreciated by the human and put to one side for a less exciting day. Thank you, Secret Santa. We're both incredibly impressed. I feel a little bad: I stayed within cents of the spend limit for my giftee and wonder if it's possible you thought my dog was twins or triplets. Thanks again!

    Thanks so much to our Secret Santas!! :D Bailey was delighted to be allowed to tear up the paper bag at the beginning and his selection box was a really thoughtful surprise and lovely treat for him - he hasn't had anything like that in months while he was recovering from surgery. He played with the toys after his treat which rarely happens these days because bold Lucy usually robs them. :p We roared laughing at Lucy's little santa hat and scarf and you can see how delighted she was to have a new toy...to steal and take to the bed. A bonus clip at the end when I showed her Bailey's new furry ball - she was literally shaking with excitement and then went CRAZY with it! :p The look on Bailey's face "she's mad - I'm off!" :p

    Kovu, Rosie absolutely LOVES her squirrel toy!! She's running from the kitchen to the hall to the bedroom and back again she's that excited!!! Here's a few pictures and thanks again!:)

    Super quick post to say thanks you SO MUCH Secret Santa! I have some video clips (no continuous take as he decided to get a little over stimulated and caught in the wrapping!!!) which I'll edit and post tomorrow.

    Opened ours earlier and our girls did so well. Thanks to our secret Santa's. And to sillymango for organising the whole thing. Here's a nice vid of Sandie and Rosie. http://youtu.be/RSryY72aQ7Q


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,009 ✭✭✭SingItOut


    I didn't get in from work till late so I'll leave Alli to open her secret Santa presents on Christmas day, I'll take a video :)

    Feather toy is a huge hit with Kovu. Except he just climbed up the curtains with a big catnip-induced head on him:pac:

    Thank you SS :D The rolly toy was driving me daft going under the couch but I will use it tomorrow when he can stay in the hallway. He also tried to get into the envelope but that wasn't working out too well for him. Surprisingly enough!

    The banana he stole off Squeak

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Those bananas are like crack to cats. We have at least ten various ones, bananas and cigars, and they go dolally over them. All they have to do is walk past and they will flop on their sides, lick it to death and try to disembowel it. The person who send Squeaks SS may have had trouble with their cats violently trying to break into the parcel that all the SS presents arrived in :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    He's after going outside again, into the pouring ran & Squeak is now in the box he was in. It must stink of catnip:D

    He got a telling off one night for picking up the wrapped banana and making off with it under my bed where loud rustling and tearing noises woke me. He'll come banging at my window at 2am soaking wet & starving, stomping his wet paws all over the bed :pac:

    My Secret Santy has been sorted after a failed delivery and is back en route to Dobby this xmas.
    Strangely enough this happened me, but the other way around- I received a present, someone else didn't, SS 2012.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,972 ✭✭✭Cherry Blossom


    Thanks a million to Teddy's secret santa. He hasn't put down his flashing red ball all day, and as a plus it's slightly bigger than a regular ball so doesn't fit under the sofa which is great because I spend soooo much time retrieving balls from under the sofa.

    I'll post a pic of the horse (Hasna) getting hers tomorrow, she was feeling unwell this evening so wasn't too interested, but once she perks up I'll post pics!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,809 ✭✭✭Frigga_92


    The pressies got ripped open late last night, my phone was charging so I didn't get photos but will take some tomorrow.
    The puppies got loads of bouncy squeaky balls, which they had great fun with. They especially liked the 3 fluffy ones :D

    Duke and Cherie were in bed by that time and I didn't want to get them all riled up so they'll be opening theirs in the morning.


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


    Thanks so much to xxxJennyxxx for Kayla's prezzies!!

    I have pics but I'm not gonna get a chance to upload them for a while- suffice to say there were tennis balls EVERYWHERE and dentastix were consumed with glee on her new mat :)

    I did have a rather sleepless night though- I hid the treats away (SOOOO MANY DENTASTIX!!! :D ) but her spaniel nose was able to pinpoint them every time and I kept waking to her whining for treats and scratching the press. I ended up having to put them out in the car at 4am just so I could get some sleep :P

    The LOOK on her face when she ripped open the wrapping. I swear, she would actually sell me and all her family for one single dentastick. They're like crack to her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭zef


    Pretty sure secret santa just arrived, pity i'm in a hurry out to an appt, I'll put up pics asap, thanks for sorting out the little mishap.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,524 ✭✭✭Zapperzy


    Thank you so much to jesses secret Santa, she's delighted with her presents and keeps meowing at the bird :P photos to follow once I get them off the camera :-)

    Il be home this evening to open Charlie's present, il have to double check that the video is working right this year after my failed attempt last year :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭bluecherry74


    Photos as promised!

    Jess looking very fancy in her Santa hat. Henry ran off with the toys before I could take a photo, but she had a fab time killing her stuffed goose/turkey.

    Freddie with his giant stash of balls and catnip toys and already a bit high. :cool:

    Enough dentastix to do you until the next year anyway :D

    Sandy with her loot, her SS was very generous, thank you. She had great fun sniffing them and rolling them across the floor.

    She brought every present one at a time into her bed

    To say she loves the sausage treats would be an understatement, she's giving the poor me eyes at anyone that she thinks might give her one.

    Whoohoo finally open! Thanks so much secret santa! Pascal loves the bowling pin especially and I love his Christmas blanket! He's so excited that so far all my photos are blurry shots of him sprinting around the room but once I get proper ones I'll post!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    Anyone know an easy way to upload pics from my phone without going through one of the uploading sites?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    You can upload it as an attachment to a post and then open it in a new tab and copy the link. Then use the image tags [IMG][/IMG] around them to close it and embed the image.

    I rarely do it though as phones these days have such good camera they come out huuuuuuuge!

    Charlie was as excited as ever opening his present, he's delighted with his toys :D Thank you to his SS :) He's far too hyper to even try to get him to pose with his hat on yet, il try and get a pic later when he's calmed down enough :P

    It's hilarious trying to get an in-focus snap, isn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Love Jessie's expression in the first pic, she looks delighted with her kickeroo!!

    Hilarious and pointless! Only clear shot I got was of his bum diving off the couch after a tennis ball! Forgot to say also, huge thanks to sillymango for organising the fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Kamili


    Harry loved his grooming kit, in his favorite colour too! He went mad for his tube of minty treats, he was doing his horsey trick bow to make sure he got as many of them as he could. Didn't get a photo unfortunately. He wasn't sure what the likit was at first, but once he figured it out it was straight down the hatch. The card he got was beautiful, and had a lovely horsey theme!

    Diaz loved her treat stocking and polo mints, she was watching me for ages whinnying to get more! She loves polo mints too so she is very happy.

    Thanks to my horsey secret Santas!

    thank you so much to molls secret santa! i think the 10 euro budget was blown for her but thank you so so much! photos to follow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭Toulouse


    Thanks so much to Polly's Secret Santa. She's now fast asleep on top of her squeaky Santa!

    I didn't trust myself to get a decent photo so videoed instead. However the file is huge so will upload when I get a decent connection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    Thanks again to Mollys secret santa! as you can see my mum has been neglecting her grooming recently (don't blame me!)

    it is really hard to take a good picture of an excited dog!

    Molly particularly likes the wind up toy and i can't wait to go to the beach to use the tennis ball thrower!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,009 ✭✭✭SingItOut


    Alli wants to say a big thank you to her secret Santa, she was a bit afraid of the blue squeaky toy (moone clearly wasn't!) but loved the carrot and banana treats. Mr reindeer has already been confiscated :pac:

    Thank you so much to Opie-Dawg's secret santa! The biscuits made a lovely dessert to his Christmas dinner and his Moose squeaky lasted a whole day before they were forced to part ways :P Everything else is still in tact though, and he has now mastered the art of throwing that rope ball full force into people's shins to make them chase him :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭Toulouse


    As promised, here's Polly opening her present! She had a little bit of help with the envelope and apologies for the odd camera angle :)

    Thank you so so much to Harry's lovely Secret Santa. Apologies I'm late with this message but didn't have internet access where we were for Christmas. He has been very unwell recently and feeling bad as he is receiving chemotherapy and he loved his presents so much so thank you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,241 ✭✭✭jellybear


    So sorry to hear about Harry :( Hope you had a lovely Christmas together :) Judging by the pictures he loves his pressies :)
