“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”

The winter holidays are coming, and we all want it to be wonderful- for our beloved pets, too. So this page is a little reminder that as fun as the holidays are, you have to keep an eye out for safety hazards.

His dog toy-teddy bear is hidden in a closet, and he likes to go and get it whenever he feels like it. Here is a site for safe stocking stuffers:

Happy holidays!
