TROY— During the Thanksgiv-ing season more than ever, ourthoughts turn gratefully to those whohave made our year possible. In thisspirit we say simply but sincerely“thank you” from Dr. Lonnie Davis,DVM; Dr. Julie Peterson, DVM; Dr.Lindsay Roth, DVM; Dr. Sarah Mor-row, DVM; and the staff of Troy Ani-mal Hospital.The holidays are upon us, and

soon we will be celebrating Thanks-giving with our friends and family.For many of us, that includes ourfurry friends and family. There are afew things to remember to make thisa safe and happy holiday for all.Your pet will no doubt be staring

at you as you sit down to your meal.When you look into those big browneyes you may be tempted to sharewith your pet. Can you? Should you?If you are having the traditional

turkey, it can be safe to share sometidbits with them, however, give themsmall amounts. Pets that are used toa diet of a good, quality pet food mayget digestive upsets from too muchpeople food. For this reason, you wantto be especially careful about givingthem foods that are rich or high infats, as too much can cause pancre-atitis in pets, a possibly life-threaten-ing condition.There are certain foods you want

to avoid giving to pets all together.Chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats,and onions and garlic should beavoided as well. Milk and dairy prod-ucts can cause diarrhea in some ani-mals. Grapes and raisins can causekidney issues. Pets should never befed cooked bones. Bones that arecooked can splinter when chewed andcause major issues when swallowed.If you’re not sure whether a food issafe for your pets, play it safe anddon’t feed it to them.There are a few other things to

consider besides what’s on the menu.Does your pet enjoy company? Somepets can become stressed whenstrangers are in their home and maybe more comfortable staying in a bed-room. This can especially be true forpets that are not used to childrenwho may be coming over to visit. Con-sider the safety of your pet and yourcompany when deciding whetherthey should be allowed to mingle.You also may want to keep your

pet in a separate room or crate untilafter all your company has arrived toprevent someone accidentally lettingyour pet out the front door. It’s alsoprobably wisest to tell your guestsnot to share with your pet. A littlemorsel from everyone could add upfor a large mess for you to clean uplater if your pet gets an upset stom-ach.With a little forethought, this can

be a safe, happy and healthy. Thanks-giving for everyone in your family,two- and four-legged alike.

Make your holiday safe for pets

Home and Away with Dana WolfeDeer season is risky business for those on the road

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 PAGE 15

Right now is the perfectseason for deer. It is goodeating in the corn fields asmost of our local farmershave picked the remainingcorn that has been left.When we are traveling, ithas always been my job tobe the lookout for deerjumping from one field toanother, sometimes miss-ing us on the roadway byinches.But, the other morning

Mark, my husband, didn’tfare so well without mykeen eyesight and car deerhunting expertise.While traveling route

66 at 6 in the morningwith fog and a misty rainfalling — in his two-week-old sports coup that he hashunted for for two years)

— BAM … it happened!Yup, he hit a deer straighton.It smashed in the front

of the car, and the hoodflew up over the wind-shield so he couldn’t see.He pulled the car to theberm, set his emergencyflashes, called 9-1-1 andsat and counted 24 carsflying by. Nobody stoppedto see if he was alive, hurtor dead. Finally, a truckpulled up beside his carand without hesitation theman said, “Hey, can I havethat deer?”Mark said, “Yes by all

means. Take it and enjoy!And yes, I’m OK.”Thankfully, he wasn’t

hurt, just a little stiff andsore the next day, but itcould have been a lotworse. It concerns me a lit-tle that we are so involvedwith our own everydaylives, or maybe even a lit-tle scared to stop and helpa stranger in need. I keepthinking what if that

would have been me? Iwould have been having atotal meltdown due to thefact I had hit a sweet deer.In my mind, I would havewanted the state patrol topull that sweet animal tothe side of the road so Icould explain how sorry Iwas that I had hit him, puta blanket over him and saya few prayers for him.“That is why I’m glad it

was me that hit the deer,”Mark said.So, while the season is

still young, let’s all be re-minded how dangerous itcan be. Drive a littleslower when you are in anarea where there may bemore deer that usual. Ifyou see a car that youknow has been in a acci-dent and there is nobodyaround, just call and re-port it, as the person inneed may be hurt and can-not do that for themselves.As for me and my deer

hunting season, Mark willget another car, and again

I will continue to be on thelookout, but now with a lit-tle more vigilance.Happy cooking … and

hunting.Write to me atdwolfe@tdnpublishing.com.ChuckWagon Venison1 pound ground venison1 16-ounce can whole
