Cocker Spaniel Overjoyed As 'Stick-Filled' Christmas Tree Joins the Living Room Decor

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, but as many of us are enjoying the season, so are our pets. After all, some dogs really come alive in the colder weather and love to see the decorations and lights that have appeared as if by magic along the route of their daily walk. And if you have a Christmas tree, you already know that it's instantly a hot item where your pets are concerned. Everyone has to smell it and check it out! 

But I would have to say that it would be pretty hard to top the level of excitement that is being felt by the Cocker Spaniel in the Instagram video below. This sweet baby can't believe there's a real tree in her house, just for her! 

On Sunday, December 8, @chutney_the_cocker shared this video of what happened when their Cocker Spaniel, Chutney, realized that a Christmas tree was finding a place in her very own living room. 

"POV: Your parents finally embrace your stick obsession," says the video.

Chutney is absolutely going bonkers, running all over the place with excitement and having zoomies as much as she can while her parents are in the process of hauling a large tree into the room. She can't stay still or stop wagging her tail! 

This level of excitement hasn't worn off for her year after year, either. In this video, you can see her get more and more pumped about the tree with every passing Christmas. This is her time! 

Why Some Dogs Are Obsessed With Christmas Trees

For some dogs, the Christmas tree obsession Is real — and not just because they realized it's a tree made of sticks that has been brought into their house the way Chutney did! 

Along with the stick potential, dogs also love the smell of real trees, and even when it comes to the artificial ones, they often get pretty mesmerized by the pretty lights and decorations! But as dog brand Hartz has pointed out, there are a few dangers to be aware of when you have a real tree in your home. 

Pine needles and tree water aren't healthy for your dog to ingest, so make sure your tree is in a covered tree water dish and needles are swept or vaccumed up daily. They also recommend not using tinsel, since it can cause a blockage if eaten, and to avoid stringing lights and ornaments (especially glass ornaments) at the very bottom of the tree to keep your dog safe. 

As long as safety precautions are taken, your dog is free to enjoy the holiday season just as much as the rest of us do. You know, just as long as they don't start removing "sticks" from the tree...
