While our dogs will be very unlikely to understand the meaning of the winter holiday season, there will often be guests visiting, and in the subsequent bustle, it will be easier for your dog to bring harm upon himself. Keeping in mind that the holidays can present dangers to dogs, and understanding what those dangers might be can help guarantee that your best friend will be in good shape to greet the New Year. Thanksgiving, Christmas and the holiday season in general will see a great deal of candy in evidence, including chocolates. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs - the problem element is theobromine, and it will not take much to make a dog sick, or even cause the dog’s death. The darker the chocolate, the more danger for your dog. Skip giving your best friend your fruit cake this year, too. Grapes and raisins are both poisonous to dogs. Any other cookie or cake that contains raisins, almonds, or currents should be on the forbidden list. Dieters who are substituting xylitol for sugar to save on calories should keep any treats prepared with this sweetener away from their dog. Xylitol will cause a rapid and potentially fatal drop in blood sugar in dogs. The holidays mean that a great deal of fatty food will be in evidence, and fat trimmed from ham, roasts, or the roast bird can pose problems for your dog. Too much fat can bring on an episode of pancreatitis, which is can also lodge in the esophagus. Those lovely snow globes often have an antifreeze-based fl uid inside them. If these break, a dog could lap up poison that could cause kidney failure. It’s no secret that people tend to consume a greater than normal amount of alcoholic beverages during the holidays, and some of these can be attractive to your dog, especially a drink like eggnog. Holiday punch may also smell good to a dog, so keep any drinks that contain alcohol well out of the dog’s reach. Puppies, and some older dogs, too, will often chew on electrical cords. While you may have taken care to keep your usual cords safe from canine teeth, lights on the tree and other decorations can present additional hazards, so take care to keep all pets away from electric cords. Don’t let your dog get lost outside during the holidays. With the arrival of company, the door will be open for much longer than it is usually, and a dog that has become nervous with all the new people and happenings may bolt out. Making sure that your dog is wearing his or her tags or has been micro-chipped are ways of assuring that you will get your lost pooch back as quickly as possible. Keeping your dog safe and healthy over the holiday season isn’t diffi cult; it just takes a bit of forethought and planning. The water in the reservoir is also a danger for cats.

We all crashed at his house and had a blast. One of the things I most remember is not the “Golden Bear” winning in 72’ , but all of the food and drinks being so cheap. This is the first time I had the “privilege” of having a pimento cheese sandwich. It is as special as Rae’s Creek, the Green Jacket or Amen Corner at the Masters. What you can devour is a sandwich of two names and five ingredients, a quick item to grab at the Masters concession stands. Some call it the “Caviar of the South”. It comes sealed in green plastic, a color that blends in with the Augusta National in case the wrapper goes fl ying around. They drink mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby, and eat Big Dodger Dogs in L.

None of this is new to Allison, who has been an animal lover since she can remember. “Once we found Splash and Dash, we knew we’d found the perfect fit for us and for the community we envisioned bringing it to!” said Allison, who grew up with family dogs and cats and got her first horse when she was 13 years old. While in college, she studied both public relations and equine business. After multiple deployments to the Middle East, Scott took a job in 2010 as an instructor where he would not be deployed for a few years. Scott had so many great experiences with military working dogs that he thought a Belgian Malinois would be a great fit. That’s when Jackie, a Belgian Malinois, entered his life. Jackie is his constant companion and triathlon training partner. When Allison and Scott found Splash and Dash Groomerie and Boutiques, they knew that they had found the next leg of their journey. They chose Splash and Dash because of the family values that they both share. “Splash and Dash treats pets as family and we do too” said Allison.

Christmas for Moore has had very generous sponsors in the past, and we need their continued support, said Eleanora Voelkel, one of the group’s volunteers and steering com- However, this year, “we need new sponsors to come forward and offer a helping hand, she added. Each family who registered was told that we will do our best to sponsor them, and, in the past, we have always found a sponsor for each family. We pray this year will be the same and that no family will need to be turned away.” Sponsors are matched with an individual or family and choose how to support the needs. A Food Lion Gift card based on the size of the family is given to provide a Christmas meal.
