We as lovers of our pets, whether it be birds, dogs, cats or what have you, tend to get carried away with our business of Christmas for the human efforts.

Just a  few things that pet lovers must remember to treat our special friends with the care they need.  There are things that our devoted friends must not be expected  to indulge in.  I know  that we tend  to forget this when we are planning the holidays, such as not leaving things like chocolate accessible  to our pets., by  leaving it around for the  for them to help themselves to, this is deadly for them.

Our pets are not humans, as much as we would like to think that they are, they see see us with things they would very much want.  Some are certainly not for them.  Leaving candy wrappers around with good smells , are also enticing to them and may cause big problems for them.

When decorating our trees, we must also remember that some decorations must not be placed on the tree in places that are accessible to them.

We purchase gifts for our pets that ,may or may not be realistic for pets.  When doing so, think about how good these gifts will be for our pets.

All of our thoughts are good intentions for our pets, however remembering those that have no homes and are the responsibility  of shelters, they would appreciate donations to help feed and shelter the ones that have been left with no warm bed or food to fill their bellies.  Our shelters would appreciate donations to assist them with their charges.

Enjoy your preparations for the holidays and be careful, with sensible thoughts for your pets.
