EXETER - It's easy to get caught up in the excite- ment of Christmas. Becoming occupied with the decorating and bak- ing in preparation for the approaching holiday sea- son, however, makes it easier to neglect the family pet. Christmas can be a joyful time of year for people, but it can also prove to be a harmful time of year for cats a dogs. Veterinarian Dr. Ellen Shapiro, from the Exeter Animal hospital, warns peo- ple should use common sense around their pets this time of year. A tipsy Christmas tree could easily be knocked over by an adventurous cat, resulting in a tire and a dog who tends to chew on the family's footwear could become seriously injured if it decides to bite into one of the many electrical cords laying around the house. Fragile glass ornaments resembling a pet's toy should be placed beyond reach or not be used at all. One of the most common Christmas decorations used is also one of the most common hazards for felines. A dangling strand of tinsel can prove irresistible for cats. Once inside the cat's mouth, it is very dif- ficult to spit out because of the tiny hooks on the cat's tongue designed for grooming its fur. The cat is forced to swallow the tinsel which could cause severe damage to its intestine by cutting into the bowel wall. Discarded strings from roasts and turkey bones plucked from the garbage can by a curious pet can also be fatal. People also tend to be more generous during the festive holidays allowing the pet to lick off the bot- tom of the pan or feeding it leftovers after a hearty Christmas dinner, creating havoc for Sometimes this happens un- intentionally when treats are left on low- lying coffee tables and boxes of candies are left under the tree making it easily accessible for the pet. The high volume of traffic coming in and out the door as families entertains guests may give the family pet a chance to escape and go unnoticed for hours and sometimes hosting parties can he stressful for pets who are not used to all the excitement disrupting their daily routine. Dr. Shapiro discourages people from giving an- imals as gifts or getting a new pet this time of year. The middle of a busy Christmas season is a had time to introduce a new pet to the family home. Instead, she suggests huying a toy gift for an ex- isting pet or purchasing a gift certificate from a pet store so one could consider huying a new pet after the holidays are over. Shopping spree The Exeter Legion donated $1,500 to the Huron County Christmas Bureau. Bart DeVries and his wife Ann, daughter Rebecca and son Robert went on a shopping spree in local stores to purchase gifts for children with the money. The spree began at MacLean's where the family found toys and sporting good for children of all ages.
