I always did it first.
Funny tree story:
One year I bought an ornament at a craft sale, made out of a Milk Bone
A few years later we got our first basenji (dog for people who like cats)
One night I looked down at her and she was chewing what looked to be a dog treat. That was funny, I never gave her any, in fact never bought any.
When we decorated the tree, I remembered to put the Milk Bone ornament near the top of this 6 ft. tree.
She had climbed the tree to get the ornament!!!!
No Milk Bone ornament ever again. She was a determined little thing
