Woman Gets ‘Help’ From Her 8 Dachshunds While Setting up the Christmas Tree & Cute Chaos Ensues

How many dogs is too many dogs? I have three kids and one dog, and I can barely keep up with all of them! TikToker YunaBugs, AKA The Weens, is mom to eight...count 'em EIGHT!...adorable Dachshunds. She recently set up her Christmas tree, and all of her fur babies pitched in to help. I got tired just watching this video she shared at the end of November!

The video starts with mom putting on her PJs, and then one by one putting PJs that match hers on each of her dogs. That alone took some time and seemed like it was a lot of work! But that was nothing like trying to set up and decorate the Christmas tree with eight excited helpers trying to pitch in!

I need a nap after watching The Weens' video! Like mom said in the caption, the end is the main masterpiece - the tree does look beautiful! People left nearly 700 comments, swooning over how cute the scene was...specifically, the cat's involvement. @Kor joked about the cat, "Penny is gonna start thinking she's a Dachshund LOL!" PoderosaClair shared, "Penny staring at the tree mesmerized!" and @Andrea Nikki Prendez added, "Omg. But why did I cry thinking maybe this is Pennys first Christmas experience in a loving home!" I also laughed when @Missmoneypennywise pointed out, "Einstein holding the ladder for you." and the dogs' mom replied, "Or plotting revenge..."

Keeping Your Pets Safe Around the Christmas Tree

Annie-Mae Levy, a professional dog trainer at Woofz by nove8, recently shared some tips for keeping your pets safe around the Christmas tree during the holidays. She recommends having an artificial instead of a real tree, since pine needles can get stuck in sensitive paw pads and can make your pooch sick (they can cause diarrhea...yuck!) if they try to eat them. "Artificial trees don’t have the same appealing scent, and they shed much less, making them easier to clean up and are generally safer for dogs.", Levy said.

She also recommends only decorating the tree with unbreakable ornaments made of pet-friendly materials like plastic, wood, or cloth, especially on lower branches. It's best to avoid glass, metal, and porcelain ornaments, which can fracture or chip if pulled down. If you have special ornaments you want to display, keep those up towards the top of the tree and out of your dogs' reach.

Levy recommends using cord covers to hide electrical cords from your pets, making them less tempting to grab. Try to hide the cords under furniture or out of sight to make them completely unreachable to avoid a possible accident, especially if your dog likes to chew. If you still aren't sure that your dog will leave the tree alone, Levy suggests putting a pen or fencing up around the base of the tree to add an extra layer of protection. And when you're not at home, she suggests unplugging the lights to avoid any accidents while you're away.

The holidays are fun to share with our fur babies but keeping them safe is the most important thing that we can do for them. Remember to keep holiday treats, like chocolate, popcorn garlands and candy canes out of their reach. Some treats may contain xylitol, a sugar alternative that is highly toxic to dogs, as is chocolate. Better to be safe than sorry and avoid a costly trip to the vet, something I'm sure isn't on anybody's Christmas wish list.
