I buy those little packages of dog jerky treats and give one and a toy for each of them. I wrap them, but I can't put them under the tree until Christmas morning ,because they find them and open them early . I let them open the packages, so they know that it is for them, and then of course they don't want to share .They all also get a little bit of Turkey and Cornbread dressing ( I was raised in the south ) on their food . They always seem to remember when next Christmas comes along .
