Keep Those Bunnies in the Basket

Every holiday brings an opportunity for our furry friends to raid the sweet treats.  While we all love chocolate bunnies and robin eggs, these treats are toxic for our best.  Please be sure to keep a close eye on that Easter basket.  Make sure your kids understand that chocolate is for their bellies only.

Also, be careful of the “grass” that some people use to line Easter basket.  Kiki adores this plastic stuff.  My Mom gave me the basket I used when I was a child.  It still had a puff of the stuff inside.  One day, I found a little “surprise” from Kiki that included a strand of bright green Easter grass. 

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter holiday.

Be Safe Out There!

Some people may plan a little getaway over the long Easter weekend. If you are taking your little buddy along, please take a moment to pick up a safety harness for your dog. You can find versions that are not expensive at all. Having your pet restrained could save his or her life.

Be safe in your travels!

Watch Out for Easter Goodies

The Easter season is upon us. Just a quick reminder. Be careful of the holiday trappings. We all know those chocolate bunnies and eggs are harmful to our pets.


Don’t forget the fake grass stuffed in Easter baskets. Kiki is especially fond of it. If she finds it, she will be barfing and pooping it up for days after. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Since it could also remain lodged in her system, this little gift could be fatal.

Let’s keep an eye on our buddies!
