Pet safety risk heightens as holidays draw near

A

By Scott Prater

s the holidays approach, families and friends may have already started preparing the meals they look forward to all year. Parties and gatherings present an opportunity for elaborate feasts, where families revel in the holiday atmosphere. For family pets however, the holidays present an increased risk for food borne illness.

Most people have heard that chocolate is toxic to dogs, but many may be unaware that grapes and raisins can be dangerous as well.

“Onions and garlic can also be toxic to dogs,” said Capt. William Underwood, Fort Carson Veterinary Clinic’s officer in charge. “They can lead to liver and kidney problems.

Unfortunately, pets don’t metabolize and break down those foods like humans do.”

Underwood explained that calling a veterinarian can help pet owners determine just how serious their pet’s condition is. Even a simple internet search can be helpful.

“People can search for chocolate toxicity in dogs and there are many reputable websites that host chocolate toxicity calculators,” he said.

“You can simply type in the weight of your dog and estimate how much it consumed to get an idea of how much trouble you’re in.”

If a visit to a veterinarian is required, the staff usually will induce pet vomiting and follow with supportive care and monitoring.

Though leftover bones may seem harmless following a meal, when cast aside they present a tempting feast for pets and can become a significant danger.

“Bones can actually get stuck in an animal’s throat or perforate the esophagus. If the bone travels to the stomach or intestines it can cause even worse perforations there,” Underwood said. “Bones can also chip or break teeth or cause dental problems. A general rule of thumb for giving your dogs things to chew on is you don’t want the object to be harder than what you can depress with your fingernail.”

While foreign body ingestion occurs more often with dogs, cats tend to suffer from what veterinarians refer to as linear foreign body ingestion.

“Cats are mischievous — they’ll consume ribbon, tinsel and electrical lights on trees,” Underwood said. “With smaller animals, these can cause either a direct obstruction or anchor themselves in the stomach or gastrointestinal tract, where they can actually accordion the intestine.”

Pet owners should also be aware of the potential shock danger of holiday electrical cords and the poisoning danger presented by toxic plants, such as poinsettias, holly, mistletoe and pine needles, which can cause irritation, vomiting and diarrhea.

Many holiday decorations include electrical wires, which can present See Safety, page 8 Shutterstock

Ring in the holidays with unique gifts, activities

H

By Halle Thornton

olidays in Colorado means two things: cold weather and presents.

Colorado Springs is home to unique activities for people of all ages, and gifts only found in the Rockies. Spend a day holiday shopping in style, meeting artists of handmade, locally crafted art, or take your loved one ice skating in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs. Whatever you decide, it is sure to be something special and memorable.

Holiday Market at Commonwheel Artists Co-op 102 Cañon Ave., Manitou Springs, 80829 Look no further than Manitou Springs to find unique, locally made gifts for your friends and family this holiday season.

Juanita Canzoneri, Commonhweel Artists Co-op marketing manager for three years, explained the Holiday Market is a six-week event, operating daily from 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and closed Christmas Day. “We dedicate our whole gallery space to this event,” she said. “We offer Colorado or locally made gift items under $100, original art, art prints, ornaments and home décor.

“We cram as much cool stuff in here as we possibly can,” she continued. “With our more popular artists, we ask them to come back year after year.”

Canzoneri said the shop hosts a jury for the show in September so they can look at new things people are making or new artists who may have recently moved to the area.

“We always try to carry things like soaps, lotions, (lip balm),” she said. “Colorado Cream provided their products this year and last, and this year, we have candles for sale from Skye Candle Company, a new company in Manitou Springs.”

Additionally, Canzoneri said throughout the year, the co-op holds gallery shows, and if there is an artist who does particularly well, the committee hosting the market will ask them to participate.

“We’re constantly on the lookout for new and cool art,” she said.

“We look for stuff we think would fit into this show, and it’s always amazing the quality of work we get.”

In order for products to be considered, Canzoneri said they need to be new to the co-op, and the quality and price has to be good.

Additionally, Canzoneri said the vendors have to be able to restock the items if they sell out.

“We don’t want any holes in our store,” she added.

Last year the co-op incorporated a trunk show into the Holiday Market, Canzoneri said, where jewelers brought in additional work.

“We had stuff everywhere,” she Courtesy photo said. “There was a lot of handmade jewelry for sale, some special Commonhweel Artists Co-op’s Holiday Market deals, prices and things we don’t includes wares from Skye Candle Company, typically carry. Plus, you got to a new small business in Manitou Springs. meet the jewelers.”

Canzoneri said her favorite part about working the Holiday Market is the excitement it generates, and the holiday spirit throughout the store.

“I don’t decorate my house, so it’s great to see the shop decorated,” she said, laughing.

Canzoneri added she loves to see guests shop locally.

“It’s always new and always different,” she said. “We get a ton of people that come in for it, and it’s always exciting.”

“You’ll always meet an artist when you come in and shop,” Canzoneri continued. “If you’re interested in shopping local, this is the best place to do it.”

Military connection means global cuisine during holidays

M

By Erinn Callahan

ost Americans’ dining tables at Christmas are practically indistinguishable from the Thanksgiving menu a month earlier. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes — all the staples are there, most pulling double duty.

In areas such as Colorado Springs, however, the lineup may look slightly different.

Several military installations and a proximity to Denver means a veritable potluck of cultural comfort food during the holiday season — recalling everything from the Caribbean shores to the forests of the Pacific Shutterstock Islands.

While “halo-halo” — Halo-halo, a traditional Filipino holiday dessert.

Tagalong for “mix mix” — is not served exclusively during this time of year, Gregg Savage is promoting the popular Filipino cold dessert for anyone looking for a change of pace this winter.

“It’s very unique only to the Philippines,” said Savage, owner of You-Ka Café on Bloomington Street in Colorado Springs. “How it’s made and presented is something you can’t get in other countries.”

Traditionally served in layers in a cup or bowl, halo-halo includes a hodgepodge of ingredients highly unlikely to show up alongside one another anywhere else — sweet red beans, cocoa, dried fruit and a scoop of shaved ice.

The dish is topped with evaporated milk, leche flan, ube — purple yam — ice cream, caramelized plantains, and strands of macapuno, or coconut. The unusual combinations of texture and taste keep customers coming back, Savage said. “You mix it all together and enjoy the textures. Once you try it it’s hard to get away from it.”

A popular holiday tradition in Mexico, according to a December 2016 National Geographic article, involves a

twist on the traditional Christmas bird. Pavo relleno de Navidad, or stuffed turkey, dates back all the way to the Aztecs. Today, the turkey is commonly stuffed with an eclectic mix similar to the halo-halo ingredients — ground pork, raisins, apples, almonds and jalapenos.

South Koreans will celebrate Seollal, the Korean Lunar New Year, Feb. 5 this year, and one of the most important meals is the one that begins the festivities, according to National Geographic. Tteokguk is a soup prepared with thinly sliced rice cakes, egg, beef, vegetables, and sometimes kimchi mandu, or dumplings. Believed to bring health and longevity, Tteokguk also functions as a birthday soup for Koreans, who traditionally turn one year older at the New Year, according to the article.

A similar dish is popular in China for the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated in late February or early March to mark the end of the Chinese New Year. Tangyuan — round dumplings of glutinous rice typically filled with sweetened black sesame paste or red bean paste — is often served in the water it was boiled in, which is usually sweetened with ginger. Tangyuan also is associated with the winter solstice, according to Reader’s Digest.

Fried potato pancakes — called latkes — are perhaps the most visible staple of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Lights celebrated in late November or early December. While there are non-potato variations of latkes, the tradition really lies in the cooking method. Food fried in oil commemorates a miracle in the Jewish tradition,

when oil burning during the purification and rededication of the temple in Jerusalem burned for eight days.

Fish soup — commonly carp — doesn’t typically conjure up images of fir trees and twinkling lights, but the dish is a holiday staple in the Czech Republic, according to Reader’s Digest. The meal traditionally begins when the first star appears in the sky the night of Christmas Eve — called “Generous Day in Czech.

Hallaca, the traditional Christmas food in Venezuela, is somewhat labor intensive — multiple family members often convene to make a batch that will last the entire season, according to Reader’s Digest. Hallacas are made with corn dough wrapped inside a plantain leaf, with a mixture of meats — commonly pork, beef, chicken or pork rinds — inside, as well as raisins and olives. The leaf wrap is tied shut with string and the hallaca is cooked in boiling water.

Thelocal.com reports that roasted poultry is common in Germany, although Germans tend to prefer goose to America’s mainstay, turkey. Roasted goose is traditionally eaten with dumplings, red cabbage and kale stew — minced and cooked in stock with cream, spices and random meat or sausages for a few days. Often accompanying this meal is gluhwein — the German version of mulled wine, made with cinnamon, vanilla, cloves and citrus — or egg liqueur, similar to eggnog and made with a blend of egg yolks, varied spirits, sugar, brandy, vanilla and sometimes cream.

Safety: Pets face hazards From page 3

a shock hazard to pets.

“Pet owners may notice obvious things, like visible trauma, ulcers in a pet’s mouth, or black and red swollen areas around gums,” Underwood explained. “A lot of times too, when they suffer some kind of shock trauma, they might display odd restlessness, inappropriate urination or defecation, often right after the incident.

Sometimes that shock will throw off heart rhythms as well. And, sometimes owners will find an animal passed out. That could mean they have been chewing on a cord and got a zap and then fainted.”

While the holidays are often a special time of year for family members, they may overlook the dangers presented by outdoor lighting as well. Holiday lighting may hang high on eves and trimming, but electrical outlets are often placed in low areas on structures, making them easily accessible to pets. In winter climates, pets may also be exposed to ice-melt salt that covers roads, sidewalks and driveways. Depending on the formulation of the salt, it can cause direct metabolic disturbance if ingested.

The chemical also collects on the paws of our four-legged friends, which can cause ulcerations and other skin problems.

“Antifreeze can be tempting to animals because it’s a little sweet,” Underwood said.

“If a pet has consumed antifreeze owners will want to get them to a veterinarian right away, so the vet can induce vomiting. From there on, it should be just a monitoring situation. That’s if detected quickly. If it’s been a while, a vet may need to take further treatment options and provide supportive care.”

As for feeding pets table scraps,

Underwood advises against it.

“Around the holidays we tend to have a lot of rich, sugary, fatty foods around which humans process a lot better than pets and in general it’s a good idea to keep people food away from animals,” he said. “If you want to give your pet a treat, make sure it’s appropriate. There are plenty that are safe, either store bought, or if you make them yourself. There are plenty of recipes online.”

It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on trash and make sure tables are cleared after family meals, especially with puppies and kittens.

“Brand new puppies and kittens are more curious and mischievous and are more likely to dig through a trash can,” Underwood said. “They don’t know when to stop and will keep stuffing themselves, often to their detriment, which can cause severe illness and even serious pancreatitis.”

Signals to watch for are vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. Chocolate toxicity, for instance can cause seizures or increased heartrate, increased panting, restlessness and many similar signs like whimpering or crying for no reason.

Ultimately, the holidays remain a busy time for veterinary clinics and pet emergencies this time of year often occur after hours and on weekends.

“It’s best to be proactive,” Underwood said. “Pet owners should have a 24/7 emergency number handy in the event their regular provider is closed.

Pet owners can also call the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 for advice and guidance if they believe their pet has consumed something toxic.

Veteran-founded app maps out military deals

A

By Jessica Kuhn

merican flag stickers placed in storefronts aren’t the only tell for veterans cruising for a discount.

Deal Patrol, a recentlylaunched mobile application created by two former service members, maps out local military deals, said co-founder Darren Smith.

“What makes this app so special is how comprehensive our data is,” the Army veteran said. “We’re really working hard by calling and reaching out to thousands of stores to try and get all the local military deals we can on there.”

The app’s co-founder, Gavin Light, an Air Force veteran, told Smith about his idea for Deal Patrol about three years ago while the two were hiking in the mountains.

“Gavin went to the Air Force Academy here, and back then, the monthly stipend was only $100,” Smith said. “You get free housing and food, of course, but still that money doesn’t go very far when you’re trying to do things out in the community.

“Getting any sort of military discount really makes a huge impact, and Gavin always wondered, ‘Why isn’t there any place that consolidates the discounts, where I can

find all of them in one spot?’”

That’s exactly what the Deal Patrol mobile app does, Smith said, adding it’s available for download on both on Android and iOS platforms.

“You open the app and right away it shows you a map that automatically scales to show the 20 closest discounts around you,” he said. “That auto-scaling feature was really very difficult to implement, but we thought it was critical because, depending on where you are, the deals could be far away.”

Users also are able to put in a specific location and search for nearby discounts, Smith said.

“If someone is going on a business trip somewhere next week, they can look at that city and kind of plan out where they want to stay and eat based off the deals in the area,” he said.

Deal Patrol staff verifies all the discounts submitted by businesses to the app, Smith said.

“We also have a way for users to submit online messages if someone goes to an establishment and, for whatever reason, has a problem with the discount,” he said. “We already have thousands of discounts in the app because a lot of national chains have a discount, like Home Depot and Lowe’s.”

However, Smith said they are more interested in connecting with local businesses to highlight those deals being offered.

“We really want all the local ‘mom and pops’ on there,” he said. “We started our focus here in the Springs and we’ve just now started reaching out to other large military communities around the nation, like San Diego, Pensacola and Fort Bragg, N.C.” Businesses can submit offered military discounts online at militarydealpatrol.com or on the app itself, Smith said.

“They just put the details in there, hit submit and we give them a call to verify it,” he said. “We are trying to make it a really quick, easy process.”

Thus far, the biggest hurdles have been the development of the app and making sure it was a product they were proud of, Smith said.

“We spent over a year with a developer and ended up with a product that we weren’t happy with at all,” he said. “We ended up scrapping that and went with a new company to develop the app and get the product we have and are extremely happy with.”

Going forward, Smith believes the biggest challenge is going to be connecting with all the local businesses that have military discounts, he said.

Deal Patrol co-founders Gavin Light and Darren Smith speak with guests during the mobile application’s launch party in November at Tap Traders.

“Getting all those discounts and then getting them populated on the app is extensive work,” he said, adding they are automating systems “to be able to reach out to as many business owners as we can as quickly as possible.”

Smith said the app donates 10 percent of advertising revenue to the military charity The Home Front Cares.

“It’s just a small way of us giving back and saying thank you,” he said. “We’re so thankful that businesses show their respect for the military by offering deals.”

Meanwhile, Smith said they also hope the app will help veterans and military members interact more in the community.

“A lot of the deals on the app are for eating, and when businesses offer those types of discounts, more military members go there and that creates a little bit of camaraderie there,” he said. “This app really is a win-win; it’s a win for businesses offering the deals and for the military members able to take advantage of them.”
