Sue Murray-K9COMMS -Tips for Christmas/New Year

Hello to you all,

Yes, it is fast approaching Christmas and the end of another year.

Of course a lovely time to be sharing with family and friends but also a time when the SPCA'S are full to overflowing and when puppies are considered as Christmas presents.

Things I feel that we should be mindful of at this time of year:

• Remember not to leave your canine friend in the car - best they stay at home where they can remain cool and relaxed.

• Puppies and dogs are a lifetime commitment so if you are considering giving one for Christmas consider if the person is prepared for that commitment and it is not a 'SPECIAL SURPRISE' for them.  

• This can also be a great time to take in one of those less fortunate dogs from your local pound, SPCA or Rescue centre.   If you are not planning to go away it is a perfect time to really bond with your new friend and spend time 'getting it right'.

• Remember if you are taking your dog to the beach do observe the restrictions in place and ALWAYS clean up any mess your dog makes so that everyone can enjoy our little slice of paradise.

• Last but certainly not least, have fun with your beloved pets and spend time with them.   If you have some free time you might also like to help out for an hour or two at your local SPCA - they would certainly appreciate any donations of time, food or blankets.

Lastly, I would like to thank ZIWIPEAK for the assistance they have given me this year to help dogs through my Trust - dogs that are abondoned or ill treated.

Thanks too for your support at the Jan Fennell events I have organized this year.   I look forward to taking this to a new level next year.

Have a safe and cheerful Christmas with your family and friends, human and canine.

See you in 2008.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
