We all want to decorate our homes for Christmas, but we also have to remember to protect our fur children. So, remember . . .
Hang all ornaments, tinsel, and tree trimmings above your pup's nose; swallowing pieces of any of these can cause painful intestinal blockages.
Keep all electrical cords out of Bowser's reach, and check for exposed wires.
Don't let the tree water become a watering hole, since harmful bacteria and fertilizer from the tree bark collect in it.
Be aware that some holiday plants are toxic to dogs. For example, mistletoe can cause cardiovascular and breathing problems, and poinsettias can lead to upset stomachs.

Mary, when my children were little, it was more likely that the baby would be drinking from the tree holder than the dog!
