Last time we focused on how important God is (obviously as it is His birthday!) and how we need to spend time with God over the Christmas holidays. I also want to remind you as well as me, to be careful around our dogs. With many visitors and the house can be just so busy, don't forget to tell them as well as children to not put chocolate, within reach of dogs. This includes bags on the floor and even on trees. Chocolate is highly toxic to dogs and can kill or leave permanent liver damage.
Here is a list of dangerous items and food that you may not be aware of at Christmas time.
I know you are tired but please don't forget to give your dog the only present or thing he wants (daily) and that's a walk. It's not only good for him but good for you as well. It also tires them out and are more likely to lie down and not be hyper so you can enjoy the rest of your day in peace.
I've said this before but it also ties in with spending time with God, even if this is the only time you have alone what a great time you can have with God walking your dog. If you go with your children then use it to show them God's creation and the seasons and apply it to seasons in their life.
So have a safe season with your dog and also remember whose birthday it is and who then needs to be center of Christmas. So celebrate and spend time with the "birthday boy."
