R.I.P. Cranberry Ball Ornament 2004 - 2007.
Last night at about 3:00 a.m. I heard this strange noise downstairs. After a while I figured out that it was the sound of a glass ball rolling on wood floors, then occasionally being stopped as it rolled against the carpet or steps.
Then I heard a crash.
I went downstairs and Jasper was sitting under the dining room table, looking sheepish. There was class ornament everywhere, so I swept it up. There were a few big pieces so I could put it together and see that I had most of it.

Was it cranberry colored? Yum. Those are tasty. Those ornaments are hard to get down, though. Not even a big girl like me could eat a whole one (and I've tried!) Jasper probably recognized he couldn't eat the whole thing, so he didn't even nibble.

Did Jasper knock the tree over?
The first year in our house here our tree, which was a little lopsided, fell over three times. The next year I was at Sears Hardware and found the mother of all tree stands. The bucket for the trunk is 11 inches deep, 8 inches in diameter and constructed of 1/4 inch steel. The legs are 1 1/2 inches wide and extend a full 15 inches out each of the four sides (38 inch full diameter of support) and are made of 1/4 steel welded to the bottom of the bucket.
We get 8-9 foot Noble or Frazier furs so they have pretty stout trunks. I'd wager I could climb the tree myself without it falling over. The tree does not sway at all.

No, the tree is in a very sturdy base. The base looks something like this, but larger
As fat as he is, it would be next to impossible for him to knock it over.
