Listen up procrastinators, you've only got a few more days to finish your Christmas shopping.

News on 6 reporter Omar Villafranca ran into some people who haven't finished shopping for their loved ones, or their pets.

Some people haven't finished shopping for their loved ones or their pets. I ran into some people who still roaming the aisles trying to find the perfect present for their four-legged friends.

It sounds like a weird Christmas shopping list.

â€œChewies are good, any treats, but be careful with the chewies. Kongs, sweaters, chew toys, keeps them busy.â€

But not so weird if you're buying for Jake here.

Shoppers have crammed stores buying last minute gifts not only for their two legged loved ones, but for their four legged friends.

Sean just rescued a dog, but with all the choices he's having trouble picking out the right gift.

"We just picked up a Boston terrier, looking for a collar and a leash and my wife likes pink, and so we have to look and see what we got," dog owner Sean Palmer said.

Just for the record, Sean says the collar is not for his wife.

Anything you can buy for a human, chances are you can buy a pet version. Need a jersey for the big game? How about a place to sleep?

Lisa's out shopping for her pet Kittee. All she has to do now is wrap all the gifts.

"Scratching post with the little toy on top for her, my Babe Kittee, and she needed food, kitty litter, but she got some toys that she can play around the house and a remote control and all that," Lisa Street said.

As for Jake, he doesn't know it, but his owner already bought his presents.

"Kind of whisper, but what's he getting? He's gonna get two frisbees, a toy he picked out at another store today, and lots of treats, chew toys," Jakeâ€™s owner Cindy Evans said.

The folks at Southern Agriculture say stocking stuffers like raw hide and toys are the big sellers of the season.
