Monday

I still had my Christmas tree up and although they had fresh water in their bowl twice a day, they still preferred to drink that nasty Christmas tree water. The tree skirt closed with velcro which was very easy for them to open. They did that for a number of years until I stopped putting a tree up. (I didn't stop having a tree because they drank the water; I just lost interest after my mother died.)
