Our initial reason is the dogs. We have sizes XL through S. They are all very young and this would be the first tree for all of them.
XL is the one who could eat the tree in one bite. L and M are the ones who would mangle/destroy/create chaos with the tree in no time flat. S is the one who would bat the ornaments around, steal them, and hide them under the bed. My days of crawling under the bed to retrieve toys and hidden treasure are over. At least I hope they are.
Thanks for the suggestions and the humorous comments, all. Well, almost all.
