Pet-tastic

      Usually this time of year funny pictures and meme's make their rounds on the internet. It seems many people try to spread Christmas cheer via humor. And it seems I'm going to try to do it as well. 

      Like via this picture. This shows some creativity...

      That one brings a big smile to my face. But what I've been seeing a lot of lately is animals getting into the spirit as well. Here's one...

      If that didn't make you smile then try this one...

      C'mon... Still not smiling? You better start, the big day is less than two weeks away! Try this on for size...

      Isn't that fitting?  (I hope you laugh at my puns! Even though they may be a tad bit lame.)

      Finally, if dogs aren't your thing *gasp*...

      Aren't they cute? 

      There you have it, my attempt at trying to put you in the spirit! 

      Do you dress up your pets for Christmas? Are you in the Christmas spirit yet? Are you done shopping, just starting, or in the middle of your list? 

W.P.I. - Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous. According to the Colorado State University Extension, 1971 research at Ohio State University proved poinsettias were only poisonous to rats when the rats ate 500 bracts or leaves. However, they are not meant for human or animal consumption. Poinsettias contain a sap that is irritating to animals and to people with latex allergies. Dogs or cats that eat poinsettia leaves or stalks have been known to cough or vomit, though the plants are not fatal to them. Since dogs will often taste new objects in their surroundings, it is best to place poinsettias in places where dogs cannot reach them.
