why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host’s glass with his own.

coming to a pond near you...the 6th annual calgary ice breaker Polar dipNew year’s day 2015Elbow Valley residents, what are you doing New Year’s Day 2015 at 1:00 in the afternoon?

The perfect way to make amends for the excesses of New Year’s Eve and start the year off right is to do the dip. This is the 6th year that passionate people, dressed up in crazy costumes, will brave the cold and jump into a frozen pond to raise money for a great cause. Last year there were over 60 dipsters – while over 200 came to observe the action.

This year’s dip is in support of the SA (Servants Anon-

ymous) Foundation and their fight to stop sexual exploitation and human trafficking and provide long term recovery programs for survivors and their chil-dren.

We will be setting up hot tubs for dipsters to offset that “bit” of discomfort. Also present will be scuba divers who will jump in and remain in the water dur-ing the dip to support dipsters. Other supporters will be EMS, Calgary Police Service, Calgary Firefighters, Old Guys in Action, Breaker the bear, and curious folk cheering on all dipsters and ensuing shenanigans.

Here’s a chance to – 1) start the New Year right, 2) check something off your bucket list, 3) help raise awareness and 4) donate to a great cause, 5) get your business name up in lights (so-to-speak). I am pretty sure that doing the dip helps you to lose weight also. Pretty sure. You can do all of the above, volunteer, or just come and watch and have some hot chocolate.

Please join us for this great Calgary community event!

help those in Need this holiday season with the calgary food bankEvery year, along with Mayor Naheed Nenshi, Calgary’s 150 community associations, and other community partners, the Federation of Calgary Communities proudly takes part in the Mayor’s Annual Christmas Food Drive in support of the Cal-gary Food Bank. We also invite our community associations to participate by hosting donation boxes at their facility and encouraging their members and residents to drop off food items throughout the month of December.

Last year, 15 communities participated in the Mayor’s Annual Christmas Food Drive donating 2,195 pounds of food and $491 in cash for a grand total of over $4,881 in food and funds for the Calgary Food Bank! We encourage you to take part in this wonderful event and help us raise even more this year by donating at your local community association!

Items on this year’s “Holiday Wish List” are soup, rice, pasta and pasta sauce, peanut butter, fruit juice, and baby formula. Other items currently in high demand are canned fruit, veg-etables, fish, tomatoes, and meat. The Calgary Food Bank also now accepts perishable food items to add to each food ham-per, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, and meat products.

Donations can also be made at any of the Calgary Food Bank partners including Safeway, Co-op, Superstore, Sobeys, Costco, and many more. Visit www.calgaryfoodbank.com for more information on items to donate and drop-off locations.

T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowGave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by

name!

“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”


Many of us have an ideal picture in our head of the perfect glowing Christmas tree in front of the hearth with flowers and candles throughout the room and the adorable blond cocker spaniel puppy sitting in front of the tree, ribbon in his mouth and his present between his paws. Look at the picture and see the dangers our pets face at Christmas.

At Christmas, veterinarians see a huge increase in dogs suffering from what we call “Garbage Gut Gastritis”. Gastro-intestinal upsets ranging from mild to poten-tially life-threatening and can ruin Christmas… so prac-tice restraint. Cooked turkey bones splinter and ham is far too rich for most pets to tolerate. Bowls of treats left out on coffee tables beg to be eaten. Chocolates, nuts, candy canes, and shortbread…Yum! Well if the good-ies can be sniffed out in wrapped box under the tree at floor level, even a well-behaved pet may believe…it’s mine. Remember chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is toxic to dogs and can cause heart problems.

Mistletoe, holly, lilies, and poinsettias are all toxic to varying degrees to pets and children. The toxic ele-ment of poinsettias has been reduced by growers and now usually causes only mild enteritis.

Ribbon, twine, and tinsel fall under the veterinary cat-egory of “linear or string foreign object” if ingested by a pet. They are doubly dangerous because the sharp edges of ribbon and tinsel can cut the lining of the gut. The free ends move down the intestine and act like knives as the normal waves of motion pass through the guts. Diagnosis of the problem can be difficult because there is no complete blockage and the ribbon does not show up on radiographs or x-rays. Decorations with wires in the middle and popcorn or candy on the out-side go down the gullet easily, but don’t pass through so well. What veterinarians have seen animals eat or

swallow whole over the years is usually limited only by your imagination! Some veterinary journals have com-petitions inviting vets to share our most impressive ra-diographs of the things our patients eat!

Flickering candles, tree ornaments and all the electri-cal wires necessary to light our homes are as attractive to a pet as they are to a young child. All those bright ornaments can shatter and lacerate your pet’s paws or mouth. Pawing at the flickering light of a candle or chewing a wire may cause a fire in your home. If you have a pet… stand back and look at your house with the same mindset to safety as if you were protecting an infant or young toddler from their dangerous curiosity.

With additional socializing inherent to the holiday sea-son, make sure your pet is wearing identification in the event they slip out the door. If parties are not to your pet’s taste, confinement in a quiet isolated part of the house is preferable. Between the lights and the excite-ment, I find many of my epileptic patients have more seizures and many of my fragile elderly patients are more likely to become stressed and ill.

Finally, making a pet a part of your family should never be an impulse purchase. This is why many humane so-cieties halt adoptions at Christmas time. Make sure you take a little time to think through if you have the space, time, and financia l resources to support a pet. Don’t buy or give a pet on a whim caught up in the fever of gift giving.

Christmas morning many furry children have their own gifts under the tree (mine do). Select a pet’s gifts with the same attention to safety you would give a gift se-lected for a toddler. Have a very merry (healthy and safe) Christmas.

Jennifer L. Scott, D.V.M.
