Christmas pest...er....pets.

Ben and I left town for 36 hours and returned to this:

This is the lone casualty:


We think these guys are going to make it:

Apparently while we were gone Alley Oop decided to climb the Christmas tree. And since she's put on a few pounds since coming to California....well....TIMBER. One might ask why we blame Ally. The answer's quite simple, really, as she was the only possibility. Once home I realized I had accidentally shut Dexter up in our bedroom. The poor fella had to go without food, water, and a litter box while we were gone. He ended up taking care of his business of Mia's ladybug costume. I'm glad to report we're getting things back in order and everyone is still alive and well. No need to call the Humane Society or anything. Really. Even after you see this picture:

Now, Mia LOVES Christmas and Starbucks.

I gasped when I saw the first picture. I hope that none of your more meaningful ornaments were damaged!

Maybe it's a good idea that you haven't had kids yet! Of course, hopefully, you wouldn't leave your kids for 36 hours alone (and without food and water!).

Great pictures! Have a Merry Christmas!
