Reducing Fido's Holiday Stress

My vet was here this week, giving the dogs their vaccinations. She said that her business is quite slow through the holidays but picks up after January 1.

Now, animals don't actually stop getting sick throughout the holidays, but it seems that many owners put off calling the vet until the new year.

Holiday expenses can add up and yes, the holidays are busy times for many of us. But your pets rely on you to take care of them.

By domesticating the cats and dogs and horses, etc., we have made them dependent on us. They need us to feed them and give them fresh water. The animals need a safe environment where toxic chemicals and dangerous things are out of their reach. And they need people to pay attention and do something if they get sick.

If your sweet (or not so sweet) pet gets sick this holiday season, call your veterinarian. You can also take Puff or Spot to the Emergency clinic.

It is the right thing to do.

Please train this doggy to carry a basket around in his mouth and then when April comes, fill it with candy eggs?

PS: Love the new, laid-back blog photo!

Dina,
I'll ignore the fertility rodent references. This is the mighty Falcon, who was a champion at Westminster - he is a Pharaoh Hound and lovely old man.

the photo of me is from Melanie's first foray into the land of iPhone photos.
