For most people Easter brings egg hunts, baskets and chocolate bunnies. But be careful! These Easter customs can be dangerous to your pets' health.

 The following seven holiday products are the most common Easter dangers:


Eggs - Dyed and Plastic

 Shiny plastic eggs may look like toys to your pets. If they chew and swallow the plastic, it can cause intestinal problems that may require surgery. Fresh, hard boiled eggs are not dangerous, but eggs spoil quickly. If days later your pet finds and eats an egg that was undiscovered during the Easter hunt, it can make them very sick. Tip: Keep track of the number of eggs hidden and make
sure all are accounted for at the end of the hunt.


Easter Grass

 Cats are especially attracted to these shiny shreds, ingesting this "grass" may be lethal. Pets can not digest it, leading to the threads getting stuck in and damaging their intestines. Tip: Try using paper, or even real grass!


Chocolate

 Make sure to tell your kids that sharing with the family pet could make them very sick. Still, supervision is key. Tip: Keep your pets  in an "Easter free zone" during the festivities.
 Easter Lilies

 Easter lilies are one of the most poisonous plants for pets. Vomiting, lethargy and loss of appetite are symptoms of lily poisoning.  Tip: Try faux lilies for the same look without the risk.

 Candy

  Too much sugar can also cause digestive upset. Additionally, the foil wrapping around candies can cause internal damage. The sharp pieces may tear your pet's esophagus or intestines. Tip: Be sure to keep a close eye on your pet and clean up all
wrappings immediately.


Easter Toys


 Small toys are a choking hazard and should be kept away from cats and dogs. Be sure baskets are kept off the ground, or that pets are kept in another room while baskets are being unwrapped. Tip: Make sure all toys and parts are too big for your pet to fit in their mouth.

 Baby animals

 Baby chicks, bunnies and ducks may seem like the perfect Easter basket addition, but think twice! These cute babies grow up into large,
adult animals requiring full-time care, & they often carry Salmonella. Tip: Stuffed bunnies and chicks make a much better choice as Easter pets!

Love is in the air! My littlest yappers are flirty and funny!
We have a new character here and he is learning the routines real quick, lol... First thing to learn is that our girls are bossy! Little Snowball is a 3 pound maltese fluff ball that , at 3 years old, has been pampered beyond belief. He is now becoming accustomed to the girls (Miss Kitty, Pinky, Libby, etc_) yapping at him and borrowing his toys!
Might be looking forward to some puppies from Snowball and Miss Kitty soon, keep checking website for news!

The Frenchies are on break for the spring, Loving the milder weather, Cash and the new girls (Lucy and June) spend a lot of time playing chase and tag in the yard. Mimi and Buffy have decided to practice their couch potato skills and are getting chunky!!

Will keep yall updated!

 Female dogs attract males from great distances. Female dogs generally have a bloody discharge for about 2 to 3 week,
and can conceive for another week or so. 
Did you know that a spayed or neutered animal will live a longer, healthier life?
 The ASPCA strongly recommends spaying or neutering your pet as early as possible. Besides preventing unwanted breeding, neutering a male dog early, before six months of age prevents testicular cancer and prostate disease.
Spaying a female dog helps prevent pyometra (a pus-filled uterus) and prevent breast cancer; having this done before the first heat offers the best protection from these diseases
 As long as puppy weighs more than 4 pounds and is 2 months old, he or she can be neutered or spayed. In fact, a female spayed before her first heat  has one-seventh the risk of developing mammary cancer as an intact female.
