 Caution!! Tree Lights!!
I just wanted to come and remind everyone about the danger of NEW Christmas tree lights!!! I have family here for Christmas...helping decorate the tree....while I hover around each of them, eyes and ears GLUED to the floor and all activity.....these people just do NOT know about what small dogs can get into and what danger could possibly exist with all the family love and festivities and fun!! Can NOT put tinsil on the tree that is inthe sun room, where the babies are allowed to be. NO tiny little decorations allowed on that tree....only the unbreakable balls and ornaments allowed....and NOW something new!!! My son was taking new strings of lights out of the package, testing the bulbs, then handing them off to the next person in line to straighten the lights out and then put on the tree. My astute ears heard a tiny little tinkly...like the tiny sound a little nail may make as it hits the floor....FRANTIC SHUT DOWN OF ALL MOVEMENT AND EVERYONE ON ALL FOURS, LOOKING FOR WHAT HAD JUST HIT THE FLOOR....They were all certain I had completely LOST my mind!!!......THE TINY LITTLE FUSE that comes extra, with a couple extra bulbs, in a tiny little plastic bag attached to the lights, was the thing that hit the floor!! We Yorkie moms are so astute and hear all kinds of noises others do not hear...thank God I heard that drop, in spite of all the noise and gaiety....I do not know if those will kill a dog, or even make them deathly ill....but they can NOT be healthy food fare, and they can be easily swallowed.....very tiny. SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT!!! |
