Thanksgiving Feast
Just in time for Thanksgiving, come these warnings from veterinarian, Ann Anderson of Rochester, Minnesota, about sharing the contents of your holiday feast with your pets:
The Thanksgiving meal, the ultimate yearly celebration of comfort food, is coming soon. So let’s talk turkey. Poultry bones can splinter and cause gastrointestinal distress. Even if you don’t give them to your pets, it is pretty easy for a dog to dig them out of your fragrant, bone-filled garbage.
High fat foods — gravy, pie or cookies — the filling staples of the Thanksgiving meal, can make your pet sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and pancreatitis. That much fat isn’t good for pets.
Besides fatty fare, there are many specific food items to avoid giving to pets. Onions, garlic, and chives can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and red blood cell damage, particularly in cats.
Sage is an herb used in stuffing. Consumption of a large enough quantity of sage can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and central nervous system depression. Cats are particularly sensitive to sage’s detrimental effects.
Chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and death. Dark baking chocolate is the most dangerous.
Xylitol, a popular sugar substitute used in diabetic candy and desserts, causes life-threatening low blood sugar and liver failure in pets.
Raw bread dough can rise in your dog’s stomach just like it does in an oven. This can result in vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloat. Bloat is a condition where the stomach enlarges and twists. This is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgery.
Be thankful that your pets have their own food and please don't contribute too much of your own to their dishes!

Bedside Manners
This is Zander, a husky, whose owner was hospitalized for a few days for a skin condition. Distraught, the dog tracked him down, two miles away at the hospital, where an employee found him outside the building.
Talk about devotion.
Once you save a dog's life, they never forget.
