Top Ways to Spend the Holiday Season with Pets

Taking a nap is a great way to refresh during the holidays, and a nap with your dog or cat (or both) is an excellent bonding opportunity.

Holiday time is here. The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping... __1__

In the season's craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or over­stimulated (过度刺激的). __2__ But they don't have to: be sure to pay attention and give them a break from the activity when they need it and add them to the fun when they don't.

●Rest time.

If your pet seems stressed, have a safe place for him away from activity. Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their litter box. __3__ Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food. But you might need a nap, too, to refresh for holiday festivities. So use this time to take one together.

●__4__

Many Christmas tree farms welcome pets on a leash (皮带). Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one of the season's most honored traditions — picking out the perfect tree. Just be sure to call the farm first to confirm that pets are welcome... and you have a new annual tradition.

●Go have a catch.

Give your pup a good run and wear him out ahead of when company visits. __5__ This way, he'll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests. Dog parks are ideal as pups can run, chase tennis balls, and socialize with others. Always remember to walk to and from the park with your pup on a leash and poop bags in hand.

A．Keep pets on a leash.

B．Dogs love playing catch.

C．Dogs might also need one.

D．But where do our pets fit in?

E．Pick out the family Christmas tree.

F．As a result, pets can experience restlessness and anxiety.

G．Many pets would love to be included in some of the activities.
