Let Fido and Fluffy be part of the holiday celebration but keep them safe!

Also watch out for any spilled liquid laundry soap.
Pour your liquid laundry soap over the open washing machine.
It has the same effect as antifreeze.

... especially Viking Kitties. (grin)

“Watch out for macadamia nuts,”

Now that one, I never knew. Thanks for the tip. My dogs love nuts, but I’ll make sure they don’t get the Macadamias.

Merry Christmas!!!

Break out the antifreeze!!!

Sure, I'll spend this holiday keeping an eye on my best friend that I have had since '00 and make sure that he or I don't do anything to place undue risk upon Huskies.

After saving Silver from the needle as a pup 8.5 years ago, me thinks I'll pass on seasonal direction to maintain the safety of my best friend.

Silver conveys a Merry Christmas along with me to you SandRat.

We go to Clearlake in CA for holidays.The dogs run down to the water and rub themselves on the dead Carp on the waters edge.. Any suggestions?

[SandRat]

arf-arf.

Can’t wait ‘till the “gray lady” (aka Pravda) goes down.

[papasmurf]

A large trash bag, some doggie safe soap, and a couple bottles of clean water should do it. LOL

Seriously, is that bad? My dogs roll over on, and rub their backs on everything.

[papasmurf]

Merry Christmas, to you, too!

Amid the hubbub of the holidays, we sometimes forget to keep a watchful eye on our pets.

Lose the goofy liberal dogma and forgetfulness will be a concern no longer. : - D

At Thankgiving we had to hose them down then bring them into the house ..2 weeks later they still stunk.

Get them some “Carp”-A-Diem cologne for their Christmas stockings.

My GSP did exactly that a couple of months ago, although it was a dead bird. I think it took three baths, and a new collar to make the smell bearable.

More directly to the point of this thread, two years ago she ate an entire bag of "holiday" chocolate kisses complete with the red, green, and gold foil...we had a very festive yard that year.

Two days ago, she stole three sugar cookies from the counter; along with a walnut (shell and all). This was the day after she had eaten a mouse and given herself an upset stomach...so we were gratified to see that she'd gotten her appetite back...LOL.

Santa Paws may not come to our house this year the way she's been behaving recently!

Thank you so much!

I have heard that because of overdosees with children of antifreeze, the manufacturers now have added a bitter taste to it.
