One possible present that we could give to our dog loving friends this Christmas is a set or two of dog Christmas ornaments. We know that dog lovers' eyes show sparks whenever they get to see things that have anything to do with dogs. And this Yuletide season adding these dog Christmas ornaments to your list will surely make your life easier. Dog Christmas ornaments are actually easy to find and are simply adorable. You can get loads of these in your nearest department store or even online, and you can even personalize the dog Christmas ornaments if you want to put your own finishing touch to the presents that you will be giving to your dog loving friends.

There are hundreds of ways in which you can personalize a dog Christmas ornament - all you need is imagination. What I will share with you right now are just some of the hundreds of possible ideas to get you started. I am sure that you will have plenty of ideas of your own, and you will be surprised at the ideas you will be able to create. You might even end up starting your own business creating ornaments for pet lovers!

How about trying a "Pup's Trip around the World"? This is really very simple: you grab a digital camera and take pictures of your friend's dog from different angles and then use your Photoshop skills when you get home. With just a few mouse clicks you can do amazing things with the image of the dog. You can put him in a Santa costume, Korean traditional dress, or a variety of outfits, and you can also put him in different settings and locations by using a variety of backgrounds, from the Great Wall of China to Mount Everest. Then print two of each of these images so that you can put each pair of identical images back-to-back. Then laminate them, punch a hole at the top, and thread a colorful ribbon through. You can even add some small bells if you like. If your Photoshop skills are really good, you can even add your friend to the picture, putting your friend in the same costume as the dog.

"Dogs of the World" can be really cute as well. Purchase small stuffed toys of different breeds of dog, and add loops of colorful ribbon to them, which can be used to suspend them decoratively. In a similar manner to "Pup's Trip Around the World" you can surf the net for images of different dog breeds, print them and laminate them, so that you have a different version of the "Dogs of the World". If you are good at painting and drawing, you can also create caricatures of dogs of different breeds on Christmas baubles, making yet a third version of this nifty idea.

Now if you really have plenty of time to spare, and you are really into the hard work and dedication that crafts demand, you might want to try "Dog Heads" and or "Pup Angels". Use modeling clay to create dogs' heads, paint them, and then attach a very tiny eye to each head through which you can thread the ribbon to hang them up as decorations. As you shape the clay you can give the dogs different facial expressions. To create the "Pup Angels" is a similar process, but you also add wings.

Christmas is a special time of year but its important not to forget your pets.The following tips will help to keep your pets out of danger during the holiday season this year.

Firstly, please make sure your pet AVOIDs the following holiday food items:

Alcoholic beverages Chocolate (baker's (dark), semi-sweet, milk chocolate) Coffee (grounds, beans, chocolate covered espresso beans) Moldy or spoiled foods Onions, onion powder Fatty foods Salt Yeast dough

Ingestion of any food that your pet is not used to can cause intestinal inflammation (vomiting and diarrhea), but those mentioned above are specific toxins that may cause more life threatening conditions in your pet.

Holiday season plants to avoid:

Lilies found in holiday flower arrangements can be deadly to your cat. Many types of lily, such as Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Easter, Stargazer, and the Casa Blanca, cause acute kidney failure in cats.

Poinsettias generally have low toxicity. If ingested, poinsettias irritate the mouth and stomach, causing mild vomiting or nausea.

Mistletoe can have a cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) toxic effect. More commonly, however, mistletoe ingestion usually causes gastrointestinal upset.

Holly ingestion can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and lethargy.

Please call your veterinarian for advice in all cases to ensure that your pet doesnt need emergency veterinary care.

Hazards around the christmas tree:

Christmas tree water often contains fertilizers, that, if ingested, cause stomach upsets. Stagnant tree water can have extremely high bacterial content, which can cause vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea, if ingested.

Electric cords should be hidden or covered safely. If they were chewed, they could electrocute your pet.

Ribbons or tinsel can get stuck in the intestines and cause intestinal obstruction if ingested.

Batteries contain corrosives. If ingested they can cause serious ulceration to the mouth, tongue and intestines.

Glass ornaments can cut the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract if ingested.

Your medications:

Please keep all your prescriptions and medicines away from prying pets. Pain killers, cold medicines, anti-cancer drugs, antidepressants, vitamins, and diet pills can be lethal to your pet in very small dosages. For example, one 200mg ibuprofen tablet can cause serious stomach ulcers in a 10lb dog. Less than one acetaminophen tablet (325mg) can be extremely dangerous to a 7lb cat.

More winter hazards:

Antifreeze has a pleasant sweet taste but even in small amounts can be lethal. As little as one teaspoon of antifreeze can be deadly to a cat or dog. Please be very careful when changing your cars coolant and always thoroughly clean up any spills. Store your antifreeze in a tightly closed container well away from your pet. Low Tox brand antifreeze contains propylene glycol and is recommended to use in pet households as this is less toxic. If you think your pet has ingested anti-freeze of any type please call your emergency veterinarian immediately.

Ice melting products can be irritating to the skin and mouth. Signs of ingestion can include excessive drooling, depression and vomiting.

Rat and mouse killers are used a lot during the holiday season. These can be lethal to your pet. Please be careful.

Your animal may become poisoned with little warning. You should keep telephone numbers for your veterinarian and a local emergency veterinary service in a convenient location. If you suspect that your pet has ingested something poisonous, seek medical attention immediately.
