...and ferrets! OMG!! One morning I got up and the tree was completely bare the first two feet up. Lucy had removed every ornament as high as she could reach and hid them all over the condo! It took me all day to find them all! Kind of like an Easter egg hunt, but a Christmas ornament hunt instead!
Barbie, Romeow, and Sophie, missing Lola! (and lots of ferrets running around in my heart!)

That's why I gave up on a tree too. Bandit batted the ornaments around...found some under the stove, under the couch, etc. The tree didn't fare too well either.
