Dos Pesos was our house guest Christmas 2003.

The most important rule when it comes to Christmas and pets: Do not give pets as gifts!
Many people do not have the time, energy or money to care for an animal over the long term. A new owner may enjoy the animal for a few weeks, but then resent the gift once the novelty wears off, and the cute puppy starts growing into an active, needy, larger dog.

If you are an animal owner here are some points to look for when celebrating the holidays. There may be no daily routine and things get easily forgotten. Make sure you do not neglect your four-legged ones.
- Make sure they get their fresh water, and also do not forget to feed them.
- Make sure your dog gets his scheduled walks.
- When decorating your home, keep your animals in mind. Keep decorations away from them.
- When entertaining, your animals may get exited having their home invaded by people they don't know. Take a few minutes to calm your animals down, and maybe keep them in a quiet room.
- Do not leave food unattended in reach of your animals.
- Don't feed your holiday sweets to your animals.
- Don't forget to buy your pet a Christmas gift and a special treat.
From Caterina's web log referring to the above photo: Dos Pesos spends most of his time lying poolside and going to nightclubs with his sunglasses on, now that he's a famous magazine model.
