CENTERVILLE —
Fleas and ticks are multiplying as you read this. A main concern from our clients is, “Should I worry about the safety of my pet’s flea/tick prevention?” Simple...no.
Parasite prevention products are safe when used according to label for the correct species and pet weight. Directions are printed for a reason. Do not ignore the warnings. Products that are available through your veterinarian are thoroughly researched and tested. Never use dog products on a cat or vice versa and always follow the pet weight guidelines. Most importantly, have your veterinary professional show you how to properly apply the product and how often. To much too often could be dangerous.
Next week: How effective are the spot-on products?
Thank you for your questions. Send them to:

Add a little something to your hot chocolate this week, homemade marshmallows
The weather sure can not make up its mind whether it wants to be mild or to be like wintertime. I think the winter type of weather is going to win out at this time of the year.
The recipe for this week is kind of different. I have not tried it but it sounds like it would be kind of good for something different. -
Exline project to house bell looking for sponsors
With the weather continuing off and on, to feel like springtime, the various trees and bushes in our yard, have new buds on them. That will not be good because once it does freeze and more winter like temperatures occur, it will cause those blossoms to freeze and fall off and that will mean there will be no blooms on those plants this spring.

Exline Recreation Committee Christmas dinner to be Dec. 10
Wasn't that snow on Tuesday morning a surprise? It sure made it look like a Christmas wonderland.
With the holiday season in full swing, I have included a Christmas cookie recipe this week that my grandmother, Cora Oden, used to make. You can not be in a hurry to make there cookies, as it requires dough to rest in the refrigerator overnight. -

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and friends. It is something how an entire holiday is devoted to eating a big, old fashioned meal that everyone kind of looks forward to. I do not think a person could eat like that all of the time. It is all so good.
