Dr. West reminded me of something in a conversation we had later today, and being the information intersect that I am, felt I should pass it on.
Pet owners walk their animals all times of the year. But winter creates certain problems for pets. Particularly problems associated with road salt, and antifreeze.
Please be sure when you come in from a walk to wipe the paws of your animal. Road salt, sidewalk melt and other ice and snow removal chemicals are corrosive and can be harmful to your pets' paws and overall health. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be sure to keep your animals away from antifreeze spills, which seem to be more numerous in winter. Antifreeze is sweet and animals are drawn to the yellowish-greenish looking fluid that winds up on driveways, at the side of roads, and even in parking lots.
Antifreeze doesn't just sicken dogs and cats. It kills! Most animals don't recover from antifreeze poisoning, so be extra vigilent for the next few months, okay?
The advice has been passed on. And its time for me to turn in. I'm nestled on my pillow. Well actually, its Tupelo Honey's pillow, but that's a story for another day. MineMineMineMineMineMineMine.... zzzzzzz.
