The xmas tree is now long gone but Bailey did her best to destroy it while she could. To be honest, after a week or more of barking 'leave it' commands at her, we compromised on the lower branches and let her have her way with them.
And a great doggy diversion it proved to be. She'd spend hours trying to chew/lick/tug/growl pine cones off the tree. Don't think she ever succeeded but she certainly had spikey poos for a week or so on account of her diet of pine needles.

Peggy did take to stealing the (gold painted) fir cones from our tree - and then gave me a look that said "Oi - I found it. If you want one, find your own" whenever I took them off her.
