Holiday Cautions for Critters
Sing to the tune of 'Jingle Bells'

Chorus
Jingle belly, jingle belly, jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride,
to the vet on Xmas day.
Jingle belly, jingle belly jingle all the way.
We'll help you avoid the trip,
and this is what we say:

Verse
Dogs and cats are quick, so keep the decor high,
Keep the chocolate out of reach even if they cry,
Tinsel on the tree can be a danger too,
If they do ingest the stuff they can't go to the loo!  Oh...

Oh jingle belly jingle belly jingle all the way...

Verse
Toxic plants are bad and here's a few for you.
Deadly mistletoe, pointsettia, balsam too
Juniper and fir, holly and your pine,
None of these will leave your little
Fluffy feeling fine, oH..

Oh jingle belly jingle belly jingle all the way....

Verse
Don’t give the bones or fat to dogs on Xmas day.
Watch your candles too, they often love the taste.
Keep the spirits high but don't give them the rum,
Its very dangerous for them and not just for their tums,

Oh jingle belly jingle belly jingle all the way...

Verse
Tell your lovely guests there's something you request.
Don’t sneak table scraps, you know Fido best
Hide all electric cords, keep rubber bands at bay,
We wish you lots of safety rules for all the holidays!

Oh jingle belly, jingle belly jingle belly jingle all the way....

Susan Clark heads the Topanga Animal Care and Rescue and
wishes you all a safe and healthy season.
