Tarot Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 On a more seriouse note, if your pets, dogs or cats sit too close to the fires, their eyes could swell, and they,d look poorly, and you would think their is somethng raelly wrong with them, justwatch them first to see they are not too close to a heat source.For older people and children its always wise to invest in a good old fashioned firegaurd.

EDKiwi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Our old cat used to sit too close to the fire sometimes in it's later years, we'd have to nudge it when it started smoking, poor old thing never looked happy cleaning it's singed fur.

maybe Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Seriously a lot of small caged animals die overnight when the temperature drops suddently. Guinea pigs are not hardy and should really be brought in if you cannot protect their hutch from the elements or give them sufficient bedding for them to keep warm.

Tarot Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yes i Agree they should be inside in this kind of climate,You cannot buy pets for the children, and then ignore the animals yourself, treating them like pest or a nuisance, You must at some point exspect them to enter your house on humane grounds,, ensuring you keep them apart from other aggressive pets in the house, Also learning the children compassion and responsibility,.

Ann Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Going back to the OP'd thread, it is worth considering pets; we brought our Guinea Pigs in last year when it was really cold. As maybe says, just make sure their catered for.Our family pets have been a much loved addition to our family.
