Merry Christmas!
"Greta"
We know you must be thinking, "I haven't seen any of the great information coming through on Your Healthy Honor Dog lately, maybe they forgot to post the newest and up to date information" We know it's been quiet here and we apologize. We could have come up with some exciting excuses like:
- We've been doing therapy work with the dogs in the Antarctic because the need is so great there
- We've been on the late night talk show circuit talking about how great therapy dogs and Golden Retrievers in general are
- We were the ones that won the Mega Millions jackpot and have been building each dog their own private mansion with indoor and outdoor pools
Now on to our featured post, from the AKC!
| Tis’ the season to deck the halls and trim the tree, but dangers may lurk among many of the season’s shiny ornaments and festive decorations. To keep your holidays free from emergency visits to the vet, the AKC offers the following tips to dog-proof your home from potential hazards. | |
| • | Avoid using food, such as popcorn or cranberry strands, as decorations. When eaten, these tasty trimmings can cause blockages, which often require surgery to remove. |
| • | Stay away from shiny ornaments, such as tinsel and glass bulbs. Use plastic ties instead of wire hooks to attach ornaments and place items that sparkle, or could be swallowed or broken high up on your tree. Larger, less intriguing ornaments can go near the bottom. |
| • | When decorating with holiday lights, remember that exposed indoor or outdoor wires could electrocute a curious canine that chews on them. Tape wires to the wall or sides of the house.
