It was my Christmas tree

This is Ally's idea of posing ........... I took this around Feb 20th.

Yepper, I actually bought myself a Christmas tree last year, it was not very big and only had a little bit of decor on it but I loved it because it was alive. In fact, it still lives only now it is in my yard. I used Ally as a measuring type of guide, she is at least 50 pounds and stands about as tall as a medium size German Shepherd. As you can see in the three pictures above Ally is not very co operative when it comes to getting her picture taken. Those are the best shots I got out of the 7 I took. So what do you think of my little Christmas tree?

I'm impressed that your tree is still alive. Hold up a piece of cheese and say Ally! Cheese! That gets my pups attention right off.

Would you believe that doesn't work on her?

Hmmm, she won't play with toys but she does make funny faces if I get one and make it squeak @sallypup Great idea, I'll have to get her a toy.

I had no idea you can replant a Christmas tree. Looks nice. How long before it could grow into a mature tree?

It was only a foot tall with roots and in a small pot of moss. It was intended to be replanted.

Ohh this little Christmas tree is adorable. My puppy would not be as tall as they tree based on the size of your beautiful dog. Look how stunning her facial features are when she turns to the side in the last photo

Ally is shy of fronting shot.I like the humorous account of Ally' behaviour in the pictures.

You are correct, she does not like to have her picture taken and every time I try to get a good shot of her face she turns away from me. Thank you, I am glad you like what I did.

It probably was, it only had a red bow and one of those stick in the dirt kinda things that had a painted bell on one end, it was kinda cute.

What a cute tree, the small ones are the best and so glad it lived being replanted

Thanks, so far so good but last night it got freezing cold so I'm worried. It doesn't like the cold.

I put a thick layer of pine shavings all around the root base which also covers the bottom of the trunk and some of the lower portions of the branches @cintol so far it's held it's own and hopefully last night was the last time we got freezing cold overnight, it's been up to the 70s in the afternoons lately so hopefully the temps will begin to climb.

I am not sure, it is an Italian Stone Pine.
