Have you ever received a pet for a Christmas present?  Do you think something that requires such commitment makes a good gift?  But, if the circumstances are right, a fur-ever home can be a great gift not just for you, but for the pet too.

My very first pet was a cockatiel.  I named him Webster and he was a Christmas present to me when I was 8 years old.  He appeared out of nowhere one day while my mom was at work.  She heard him fly into the window outside.  Instantly she knew that was my present.  This sweet, lost bird stuck out in the cold.

Now, we lived in a huge city in Germany and finding where he came from was near impossible.  My mom was able to approach him and pick him up.  I had no idea until Christmas morning when I woke up and heard the sweet whistling of this adorable bird.  He was perfect.

Here are some heartwarming videos of people getting puppies for Christmas.  With all the terrible stuff going on in our State this week, hopefully you are able to smile watching this.  I know I sure did.
