Merry Christmas to Everyone at Wealthy Affiliate
Merry Christmas
It is that time of year and the excitement is building. Family and friends will join together to celebrate. What must be remembered is that it is a lot of work. Decorating, cooking, traveling and shopping plus maintaining your regular job. I think a lot of mummys get tasked with everything with little help. If you have pets here are some hints for a safe Christmas.
The Kitchen
In my house we have eight cats and two dogs. Accidents can happen when we are the busiest. With lots of traffic between cupboards and stoves watch that you do not trip over the cat or the dog. My Border Collie Sheba has to be right there to smell things out. This is when its nice to have help or put the pets in another room until your work is done.
We are always watching that the kitties don't jump on the stove and get burn't. I always put a pot of water on a hot element so it can cool down and no one gets hurt.
Remember that the most common causes of kitchen fires is unattended cooking. If you need a rest please shut the top of the stove off.
I like to feed my furry family members before supper and this way we have had good success with no cats or dog at the table.
This is a good time to remind everyone that onions, chocolate, raw bread dough and raw eggs must not be eaten by cats or dogs.
Be sure to dispose of food wrapping immediately so that your pets don't ingest them. Tin foil, plastic and wax paper are very hazardous. Ingestion of greasy string will require a vet visit. It must not be pulled out regardless out which end of the cat it is sticking out of.
Cats as Gifts
The picture says it all. Pets as gifts needs to be discussed by every one involved. People have dumped pets when the thrill wears off.
How long is Cat Care? It is forever! My cats, dogs and horses are family.
I wish a Very Merry Christmas to everyone and be sure to take your time and enjoy the moment. If you don't observe this season may you have every blessing as well. WE all look at the same sky.

Great, great post Trevor. So many animals get sick this time of year due to carelessness and ignorance. Our fur-babies are a God-send and we should give them all the care and attention they deserve. For their unconditional love, we owe them that.
Merry Christmas to you and the whole mini-menagerie.

Thanks for reading Mark. That's so true. I should of mentioned the poisonous plants that come into the house also. The Poinsettia, Holly, Mistletoe, Lilies, Daffodils, Amaryllis and the Christmas Cactus are toxic to cats and dogs. The Lilies and the Amaryllis are particularly lethal and should be kept away from pets.
Great post-Trevor I enjoyed reading your post, as a matter of fact, I had put a post about gifting pets on my site. So we are on the same track. I have 2 cats and 1 service dog. You should check out my site I have alot of information on that might be of interest to you.

Thanks Mary. I will check out your site. I think a lot of shelters keep a close eye on who is adopting this time of year. Pet dumping is criminal. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Trevor
You are so very welcome it was my pleasure Trevor and yes shelter are busy this time of year with dumping of animals and I also speak about that too it is criminal but what are we going to do about that though.
We are the voice for these animals and they are in need of help. That is why I am building my site for. I support these animals whole heartily and the fact that I see it in my own furry children's eyes.
Mary
What I think Mary is that animal abuse is as foul as child abuse and should hold the same punishment. That’s my opinion on the topic.
Trevor
I agree with you 100% and now in the state of Pennsylvania, it is a felony for animal cruelty. I just wish and pray that all the other states will follow suit to that.

Good Morning Trevor,
Thank you for your good wishes. I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas time with the whole family with all type of fur friends included.
As I lost dear Cindy this summer and some months later old Missu
I am still sad and will especially miss them this time of the year. Our family is a lot smaller now with only 3 cats as we have not decided yet if we take a new dog already. I think first the wounds have to heal a bit more.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske
Hello Taetske. Many hugs to you and I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure they had a wonderful life with you.
Every blessing to you and your family.
