Okay, I'm the "no" vote. Guinea pigs aren't toy type pets; their favorite activity is "floor time" when we allow them to run around the living room floor checking out all the stuff that gets tossed there in the course of the day.

As for food treats, I will probably slip them some extra fruit and/or veggies on a holiday, but that's about the extent of it. They're pretty low maintenance pets.

Of course I buy them gifts and treats and etc......lol

I think they know for some reason that, that day is special. Maybe it's from my excitement for them they feel.

In the past we have always given presents to our pets. WE have a new puppy now... and think everyone in the family is more excited about Lilly's first christmas with us then they are about their own presents.

what kind of meal so you normally giver your dog?


I would like to do that... but I didn't want to start a bad habit of giving her human food... she's pretty good about not begging when people are eating right now.

My Four legged Kids will get new toys, JJ ordered them all Crimson Tide Rain Slickers for those rainy, snowy crappy days and they will get a Christmas meal with us.

I have to say my Babies are very spoilt and they travel in the truck with us and they love human food.......the Pugs Sausage and Tink the Chihuahua loves Bacon so they get that treat whenever I cook breakfast in the truck.
