Keep your dog safe and warm by following these guidelines. Dogs can get frostbite or hypothermia when temperatures drop. Don t leave your dog outside in the cold for long periods of time. Provide a covered shelter, such as a doghouse or kennel, for the times the dog is out of doors. When your dog is inside, keep him warm, dry and away from drafts. Tiles and uncarpeted floors may become very cold, so put down blankets or pads for him to lie on. Keep your dog a safe distance from supplemental heat sources such as portable heaters and fireplaces, which can cause severe burns. Place screens around fireplaces. Don t leave your dog alone in a car on cold days. Feed your dog additional calories, particularly if it spends a lot of time outdoors or if it is a working dog. The extra calories are necessary because it takes more energy in the winter to regulate body temperature. 4

5 Provide plenty of fresh water at all times. Dogs are just as likely to get dehydrated in winter as in summer. Snow is not a good substitute for water. Groom your dog regularly. Your dog needs a well-groomed coat to keep properly insulated. If you have a short-haired dog, consider a sweater or coat. If your dog is long-haired, clip the hair around its paws to ease snow removal. Dry your dog with a towel or blow-dryer if it gets wet from rain or snow. Clean snow and ice from its paws to prevent cuts and cracked pads. A little petroleum jelly may help soften and soothe paw pads. Be extra careful when walking or playing with your dog near frozen lakes, rivers or ponds. Your dog could slip or jump in and be seriously injured. Rock salt, used to melt ice on sidewalks, can irritate paw pads. Rinse and dry your dog s feet after a walk. Watch out for spilled antifreeze on driveways. Antifreeze smells and tastes good to dogs, but it can be lethal. Dogs, like humans, seem to be more susceptible to illness in the winter. Take your dog to the veterinarian if you notice any signs of illness. Ask AKC with Lisa Peterson ---Q & A Advice Column for Dog Owners Dear Lisa: My husband just recently started playing the flute. When he hits the higher notes, our dachshund starts to howl and keeps howling! Is he in pain? What exactly is going on? My husband has taken to playing in the farthest corner of the house! High Note Hound Dear High Note: I don t believe that your husband s flute playing is causing your Dachshund any pain. It s just an ancient canine response to those high notes. Read about why dogs howl here in a previous column and in the meantime let your dog and husband make beautiful music together! Helpful Tips American Kennel Club Offers Treat Recipes For Your Dog Dogs, just like humans, can get bored eating the same thing over and over. If your dog seems tired of frozen peas and peanut butter in his hard, rubber, hollow interactive toy, the American Kennel Club (AKC ) offers the following mixtures for you to try. Mix the ingredients in a bowl and fill up the hollow toy. Results may vary based on the amount of each ingredient that you use. Also, some dogs are lactose intolerant, so be sure to consult your veterinarian before feeding your dog dairy.

7 No direct selling or donation jars for rescue or other nonprofit groups. Do not set up in the food court or near the almond nut kiosk. Be respective of the almond vendors and other food vendors need to have considerable distance from dogs. The mall will have a table and chairs available setup throughout the aisles where we can set up. Assure that your setup allows easy access to all of the kiosks. SET UP - members may set up on Friday evening after the mall closes at 9pm. You can set up your own equipment on Friday if you wish, but please be aware that we have had a large size crate stolen when left overnight in the mall.

Come and go only via "D DOCK" on the Forest St. side of the mall across from the Post Office. D Dock should be used for all entrance and egress from the mall for setup and breakdown of displays and taking dogs in and out during the day. Participants may park near the dock while loading and unloading, but cars must be parked elsewhere during the day. An expen w/scooper will be available in the dock area, and there may be some grass, depending on how much snow we have. CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG! Dogs must be housebroken. Any accidents should be discretely cleaned up immediately. Cleanup materials should be placed in the large dumpster outdoors at D Dock. Do not dispose of messes in any indoor trash receptacle.
