Hey Woofa’s,

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Even if you’re not ready for it, it’s coming whether you like it or not.

Which also means, the silly season where sometimes we go a little crazy with present shopping.

I’m not as organised as I’d like to be this year but I’m starting to catch up.

Which means, I’m writing my Christmas gift list of what to buy my loved ones.

And of course this includes Billy!

Are you one to buy presents for your dog?

And are you one whose dog (via yourself) buys YOU a Christmas present as well??

If so, here are some ideas to get you thinking about what you can buy your dog for Christmas!

The good thing with dogs is, they’ll love anything you give them because they’re mostly easily pleased.

And as long as you spend time with them they’ll love you no matter what.

If you have any other ideas on gift ideas for dogs, please leave them in the comments below, we’d love to hear them.

WHAT BILLY IS GETTING – ssshhh don’t tell him!

We have bought Billy – A doggy stocking with toys in it, that he’ll probably destroy in 0.5 seconds but it’s the fun doing that that counts!

Billy loves his Doggy chocolates, so we always get him a mixed packet.

We also got him a new strong toy that will hopefully take him more time to get through.

I’ll probably also get him his favourite dog treats.

At 12 years, he’s not as into playing with toys as much, but he does like chewing on them still which is good for his teeth.

I’m sure while I’m out at the shops I’ll come across something else.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

There’s only 3.5 weeks til Christmas!!!

Some say, there’s still heaps of time to get presents, but before you know it it’ll be on top of you and nothing will be done.

If you like to be organised, the list above should help you come up with some ideas on what to buy your dog/s for Christmas!

Good luck with your Christmas Shopping………let us know how you go in the comments below!
