Crash Equals Pieces

There we were tucked into bed, at least 3 of the 4 of us were tucked in bed. There was one member of our fam that was not tucked in bed. That one member was roaming the house while we slept. It was about 3:00 AM when a crash was heard through the house. My eyes immediately popped open. Brad's eyes did not. He mumbled and grumbled and quickly rolled over. I was not settled once I heard that crash. I had to go see what occurred and make sure my fur-baby was alright.

As I made my way out of our bedroom and down the hall, there stood Piper near the Christmas tree. I breathed a sigh of relief to see she appeared fine and the tree was still standing. Although if it had fallen over I would've expected a bigger crash. Anyway I soon spot the item that made the crash and is now in pieces. One of our best ornaments is no more. It was annihilated by the cat-daughter.

One might assume when we put our Christmas tree up the younger pet would be more likely to wreck havoc on Christmas ornaments. After all the younger pet is in his pre-teen stage, his adolescent/teenager rebellion is coming. LOL!  Heck, even his daddy assumed we'd have issues with him. I however, assumed we would have zero issues with the little dude and continue to have issues with Piper. Every year Piper has climbed the tree, knocked ornaments off, or ripped paper on wrapped gifts under the tree. Overall she's rather mild. Or at least that's what I've been told by Brad. Brad says Storm was much worse with Christmas trees and ornaments. He says in Storm's early years he'd practically have to redecorate the tree almost every night when he got home from work as she had spent the day knocking the ornaments off. Thankfully Piper's not that bad. We definitely have to watch her close though. Cats are interesting too. Because there's little fear in them. They'll start doing stuff they aren't supposed to do while you are looking. As if they are enticing you to get mad at them. A dog would wait until it's left alone to mess with stuff. Am I right?

So we aren't even a full week into December and we are already down one of our best ornaments. Let's try to leave the Christmas destruction at just that one ornament, alright Piper? Hopefully she's in agreement!
