Amazing Facts About Reigate
We may all think that we know Reigate like the back of our hand but maybe not… here are a few interesting, if not surprising, facts about our beloved town.
On the Rocks
If you were a teenager in the 80’s, Reigate was the not the hub of excitement that it is today. There was no Mishiko’s or Joules but if you were in the know the place to go was On the Rocks, a subterranean nightclub in caves beneath the one-way system – where the Reigate Kebab Shop now stands. The entrance was to a small wine bar but it gave no clue to what was going on below. My own, vague, memory is watching a band while drinking Singapore Slings, it was dark and musty but quite an experience! The club later became Batchelors but sadly was shut down in 1994 due to health & safety reasons and it is believed that these particular caves had to be filled due the traffic going up to the M25.
Churchill Loved Reigate
Throughout history, Reigate and the North Downs have played an important part in the defence of Great Britain. Just 20 miles south of London, this stronghold has the strategic advantage of extensive views southwards, stone, chalk and sand quarries, underground tunnels and hidden byways disguised by plenty of tree cover. This was all familiar territory to Winston Churchill, who became Prime Minister soon after the start of World War II. Over several decades he visited the town, including the grand Georgian manor house on Church Street which is now home to Jack Wills and his signature can also be seen in the guest book of Reigate Priory. The Churchills were often weekend party guests at the Priory, then owned by the former Admiral of World War One, Earl Beatty and his wife.
After the war,m Winston left his legacy in the form of his pet blue & gold macaw Charlie, who rumour had it; lived in an aviary off Flanchford Road until the ripe old age of 105!
The Unusual Church on the Heath
The iconic windmill on Reigate Heath is actually a church. Part of At Mary’s Parish the windmill is thought to be the only one in England consecrated as a church. Regular monthly services are held in the Mill Church during the summer months on a Sunday evening, as well as occasional services throughout the year. The church also holds a popular afternoon Christmas Carol Service each December.
Reigate Heath’s Murky Past
Reigate Heath has had an eventful history; 200 years ago it was a wild unfriendly place, covered with gorse and heather. Woe betide the hapless traveller who ventured into the area on their way from Reigate to Dorking. Highwaymen and brigands lay in wait and it is rumoured that the chimney of a local tavern, ‘The Skimmington Castle’, was used as a look-out post by the robbers to spot their victims approach.
But anyone who was caught and convicted as a highwayman was guaranteed to meet their end on the Heath too. A gibbet was erected at a site now called ‘Galley Hill’, which was named after the gallows which once stood there. Local legend has it, a former landlord of the nearby Black Horse pub in West Street, was hung there after being convicted of highway robbery.
Reigate’s very own Natural History Museum
Behind a wall at the beginning of Croydon Road is one of the UK’s oldest natural history societies. Founded in 1857 the Holmesdale Natural History Club holds a fascinating collection of natural history, archaeology, local history and geology collections. Exhibits range from medieval drainpipes and giant fossil ammonites to an extensive collection of Victorian and Edwardian stuffed birds and locally produced Roman tiles – complete with the footprint of a local Roman dog.

What's Your Divine Gift?
PAC
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Order Of Pile
1 - 2 - 3
4 - 5 - 6
Ask your guides to help lead you to the one that best resonated with you 🍄
Tumblr media
PILE 1
Instantly, manifesting. You quickly sometimes even unintentionally do this after a harsh experience. This divine gift is actually not as common as you might think. Sure, people have it, everyone has a chance at everything, but there are only so many which can really manifest. You guys have a determination, a drive in you which helps this. You guys also seem to bring light to the darkest of situations. If someone's down then you comfort them and send your prayers. You guys actually have the worldy gift of commitment too! Staying true to whatever goal or project you have set. There's people here who have an inner talent of being happiness, joy, etc. They just need to access it when the time is right 😉 ngl this reading was quite short however there's really nothing more for me to elaborate on 😯
666, 333, 444, 13
PILE 2
I got a small message that some people here either have a pet or will have a pet in the future. This is gonna be some of your guy's 'divine gift' per say. Thus meaning, it could be an angel gaurding you as a pet or it could literally be a small gift like "hey here's a pet!" Like how you might get one on your birthday or christmas etc! Ok so I legit shuffled again and had a wolf and lion come out. I feel like this animal will be a secret protector 😌 so moving on, your divine gifts are resilience and purity. You can take a lot in life and some you guys probably have, whatever your definition of a lot is, it's strengthened you on your journey. Your soul has a shield which you have built yourself. Purity being, even though you've been through a lot or have a lot of inner strength, this doesn't stop your pure side from showing, your inner child, inner curiosity. I was given the moon card and the image of a forest, birds flying, a baby deer, some berry limbs, and even my hunger card. You guys also aim towards big goals. Ambitious people here, but I'm being told you should give your intentions and make some wishes. You hunger for those rewards, that wish to come true, but in order to do that you need to have your target set and eyes locked on it, intentions set, then move forward ok? People's moon sign here, is a significant area
555, 18 or 1818
PILE 3
Okok, this pile is POWERFUL. You guys actually are possibly starseeds or angels in disguise sent for a purpose or reason. If not then you guys have a high connection with the divine, whether you know it or not. I literally got my "power" and "sovereignty" card together. Continuing further. You have the divine gifts of change and future sight. Some of you guys have future sight in your dreams or deja vu often. You will know when something is going to happen before it happens. Now subconsciously a lot of you will know and will end up making the correct judgement in the future so you avoid such a scenario. Now I have a lot on change in here. Consider this reading a lot like the death card. You guys have the gift of judging something and a big change happening. You are literally a lightning bold striking a tree and the limbs falling everywhere then catching fire. A huge castle being struck down by lightning and people falling. A soon to be butterfly in it's cacoon but then worms getting a hold of it and eating it alive. However good news is that if you ever get caught up in any of this you have no need to worry at all. Your guides are really watching over you guys to ensure your safety. So whatever life throws at you, have faith. And whatever you throw at life or others... Uh be careful- however I guess not really because you guys are really good at making a decent to good assumption or point on things. Stay committed to your intuition btw. It might be your subconscious knows more than you realize it does 👁👁
1616, 1010, 1717
PILE 4
This pile gives me nympth and fairy vibes. I have some starseeds in this pile as well! The divine gift of uniqueness is given here. I keep seeing 3 particular people on a lot of these cards. 2 of these are angels that are heavily protecting you. You may know them well because it's like one of those "till death do we part" scenarios. Starseeds are very unique, different, black sheep vibes. They are from different places, realms, dimensions, planets and/or galaxies. They travel in order to bring their "traditions" in a sense. Shake up the normal in places. This is so everything is not making the clock feel slow. You guys are a huge flame while the world is grey. Bringing color, change. Breaking traditions. This gives me major aquarius age vibes too. Creative people here. Very loving and you guys probably feel out of place at times. Some of you like star-seeing or often sit back alone and ask yourself "why am I so different?" "Why am I here?" And as I said before, it's so you can bring your rainbow into the old. Now now I know you might be asking "well what about the previous generations? They brought something new" sure they did!! But after every gen you need a new batch. It just so happens your in the batch of starseeds who are gonna shake this land in this lifetime! Also not saying that you only have 2, but your 2 prominent guides give me strong "knight in shining armor energy" some of you guys gave your own masculine energy too. Someone here dances! It's a gift hon'! I got a random message. If you guys work on your psychic abilities more then you can have a good chance at seeing spirits and etc through your eyes. OHH OH also astral projectinf abilities are in this pile too!!! I'm so happy for you guys 👏😤💖 I got a very sweet card for you guys from your angels. They are basically saying "We're here for you, by your side all the time. We will always help you- cheer you on- and go through your trials throughout your journey. We are a team. You've got this." ��� some here have a divine gifted voice 💖
333 - 2345 - 777 - 24/42 - 222/444 - 54
PILE 5
This pile has the gift to sense energies! Very interesting! Have you ever gotten a gut feeling saying "no don't do it" or "you should go for it"?? Intuition mixed in with feeling your surrounding energies ties in! If there is a negative spirit/person/animal nearby then you might subconsciously avoid it. I also get major empaths from this pile. Think of this, you're sitting at home, your mom and sibling is arguing over something and so you go to your room. As you're alone you find yourself randomly getting irritated at the slightest things and if not then you just feel tired and fatigue. Welcome to the world of energy! Trust your gut/intuition. Trust your senses. I got lucid dreamers and a few astral travellers here. Some of you get nightmares? I see some of you afraid of ghosts? I get someone here already knows their gift but is scared of it and doesn't likes using it sometimes. Whatever it is, DON'T let fear take control of you with these gifts. They may be scary as heck sometimes but I promise you, you ARE in good hands. if you were waiting for an answer for if you're ok, here it is- you legit are. My guides are saying "trust" some of you might have anxiety or your empathic abilities over worry you from time to time, take a breather and relax. It will be ok. Actually for this group I suggest solitude. Some of you I see aren't aware of this ability but some of you who have delved into it are brand new. I get brand new energy from a group of people reading this. Ok well yeah, solitude for sure. Not always but you guys need alone time to recharge and cleanse your energy. OH OH WAIT Observers are in this pile too! Wow. Ok so are many of you connected with your guides or talk to them? If not then this can just mean you subconsciously might catch events right as they're happening occasionally. "Good-timing" came up. ANYWAYS- be careful when you sleep. This isn't to scare you but your dream world can be quite vulnerable. A lot of energy here. Also I'm getting "be careful of energy vampires" from my cards. Which honestly makes total sense. I see a guide watching out for you though, you have a sphere around you somehow. It's like a shield. Energy can get in but nothing can damage you fatally, ya know? Beautiful pile 🥺🕊
1111 - 444 - 888 - 222 - 999
PILE 6
Oook. So this pile be careful. Cleanse your energy/soul from time to time if you can. Very powerful abilities here. You are someone, with practice, who has a secret gift of communicating with the dead. I'm seeing portals. You are literally like a walker between the material plane and the astral plane. You have a stunning golden flame. Like I don't want to take my eyes off of it. I just wanna stare at it as if it's a bonfire or fireplace in a dim room. It's a cozy light that draws attention easily and can be quite tempting to follow. Spirits can see this bright energy surrounding you. I keep getting the image of in the middle of the chest? Like a core lmao! It's gorgeous though. OHHH THAT'S THE WORD- LOL IT CAME TO MIND- ok this group is light workers. Healers. If you communicate with the dead and wanted to, you can be one of those spirit mediums that helps them get to the other side kind of ordeal. I got ALOT of duality in this pile. Day/Night. Day/Night again. Gate with a light and dark side 2 of swords. A scale holding coins on both ends. A dragons layer. Two arms holding eachother- You name it. Legit as I was thinking of mediumship psychic gifts here, I also had my "crown chakra" card fly out. To keep this simple, go on google and look up "Crown Chakra psychic abilities" and scroll through and look for something that lists them. It's quite a few. You guys have had 3rd eye awakenings throughout your life off and on. Some of you had paranormal experiences when you were young (some of you didn't though, but I feel like that's a smaller percentage). This pile can help ghosts and etc! 🥳

A Second Decade of Movies
Ten years ago on Facebook, I compiled a list of every movie I watched, in order, from the first decade of the network’s existence. Now, here’s part two, covering the years 2010-2019. There are 754 titles below, though some are repeat viewings. The movie I watched the most? Harold Lloyd in “The Freshman.” My favorite movie from the last decade? “The Tree of Life.”
But I began the 2010s with James Cameron’s mega-hit “Avatar.” I’ll go on record saying the movie is still enjoyable ten years later, as I watched it again in 2019 with my kids to prep for visiting the World of Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But--I also agree with those who say there’s little remembered from the film in the culture today. Can you name the stars? Recount the plot in detail? Mostly what we remember from the film is the spectacle of it all, game-changing when it was released in 2009.

2017 Feel-Good Drarry Fic
A few days ago I posted a rec list of 2017 Drarry fic that tackled Important Issues. But not every fic has to be important or political, and I wanted to also put together a list of some fics that have made us smile, laugh, cackle, awwww, and generally feel good about life. Thank you to everyone who puts a smile on the collective face of the fandom. Again, this is not a “best-of” or “favorites” list, and it is unavoidably subjective (and thank you to everyone who contributed ideas to the list!), but I hope you get some joy from these fics. Humor, fluff, crack, and smiles ahead (in no particular order)!
Pretty Fond of Not Very Good Ideas by @lqtraintracks: Harry Peterson, Orderer Extraordinaire, and his trusty sidekick, Ray. Or: Harry's been hit with a memory charm, but it's okay because he realises he's bent for Draco Malfoy.
It looked a lot bigger in the picture by @ravenclawsquill: Draco is determined to experience the full novelty of an authentic Muggle holiday. Harry doesn't quite understand, but when does he ever understand Draco? (Or, the time Harry and Draco accidentally went dogging in a car the size of a matchbox.) 
I Can’t Take It! by @xx-thedarklord-xx: After the war, Draco Malfoy became an author. A best selling author whose books move the hearts of those who read them. Which wouldn't be a problem for Ron if all of them weren't about Harry! It was obvious to him that Malfoy was in love with his best friend but why was it that no one else seemed to think so? He was going to get to the bottom of this and get Harry to stop mooning over the blonde idiot at the same time. Perhaps, they just needed someone to come along and get them to fess up. For the safety of his own sanity, Ron was going to help Malfoy ensnare Harry. That is, if they can get along long enough not to kill each other.
It’s Our Party and We’ll Fuck If We Want To by @firethesound: It's like if a tree falls in the forest, Harry thinks. Sneaking away to blow his boyfriend in a coat closet at their own housewarming is only a bad idea if they get caught, right?
A Hyperactive Fruit, a Nasty Neighbour and a Love Story by @synonym-for-life: Potter’s pet Niffler is wreaking havoc in Godric’s Hollow and Draco, the Assistant Head to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, is the one that has to deal with it. Repeatedly. The fact that Potter keeps coming to Draco’s office in grey jogging bottoms - repeatedly - does in no way help the matter. 
Just Friends (Or Why Draco Malfoy Shouldn’t Have Sex in His Office) by @unadulteratedstorycollector: Harry and Draco are Auror partners, friends, and um... well, that's it. Yes, Hermione, that is it. At least it is until Harry catches him doing a certain something that he can't get out of his mind.
Mugglewear and Broomstick Skills by @callingdrarry: The eighth years attempt a game of football in Muggle Studies. What is meant to be an insight into Muggle sports turns into a fashion show of ridiculous outfits and Harry nearly losing his mind.
when life hands you (lulu)lemons by @carpemermaidtales: Harry grows bored with his usual running path, and finds himself a surprising new jogging partner when he takes a different route. 
The River Thames on a Sunday by @lqtraintracks: A slice of their life in London. Harry jogs. Draco tinkers about. There's rimming. And tea.
Better Than an Origami Bird by @o0o-chibaken-o0o and @jadepresley: A series of letters in which Harry and Draco argue, play truth or dare, get kinky, and are a couple of very naughty (or very good, depending on who you ask) boys during class.
The Sleeping Beauty Curse by anonymous for HD-Erised: When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken – at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth – by ‘true love’s kiss’, Harry Potter knows there’s no way on earth he’s the answer to this particular riddle. Is he . . .?
The Full Monty by @magpiefngrl: Harry poses for a naked Auror calendar and Draco goes batshit crazy with lust.
Fervor by @goldentruth813: Draco hates being woken up in the middle of the night. But he likes sex, and he loves Harry. So maybe it's not so bad after all.
Divination for Dickheads by @seefin: It doesn't actually turn out to be the worst birthday present he's ever been given.
Can I kiss you? by @rose-grangerweasleyisbae: Teddy had been over the moon when Harry had allowed Draco to tag along with the annual Weasley beach weekend when Andromeda couldn't come. Draco not so much. Would Teddy's cousin and godfather ever get along?
Shatterproof Plan by digthewriter: Teddy drags Draco to Australia for Christmas. Draco is down on himself for being forty and still single. They see Harry. Angst. Past relationship drama. Happy ending.
There’s No Espresso in Azkaban by @sassy-cissa: When Harry finds Draco working in a Starbucks, he finds coffee has suddenly become more interesting.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Cake Rota by @gingertodgers: Harry and Draco are drafted onto the office cake rota.
The Slickening: From Devil’s Snare to Penetratio Totalus by @aibidil, @bixgirl1, @carpemermaidtales, @femmequixotic, @noeeon, @shiftylinguini: Sometimes help comes from the place you least expect it.
Moon-Eyed by @l0vegl0wsinthedark: Draco Malfoy, Head of Veela Affairs at the Department of Magical Beings, does not do people favours. Harry Potter, recently turned werewolf, is not “people” – not to Draco anyway. Does Draco plan to fall in love with Harry when he decides to help him? No. Does he end up falling in love with him anyway? Pft, what do you think?
He Whose Hand and Eye Are Gentle by khalulu: Draco reads poems and sometimes writes them. Harry receives poems and sometimes reads them. Rutherford delivers poems via the scenic route. Wombat snores. Eventually, all comes together, with help from the foxes in red bibs and the sumo referee.
Shades of You by @bloodyflammable: Draco certainly never intended to be a style consultant for the seriously fashion challenged, but after the war and the reparations his family had to pay, it was clear he would need to earn a living. However, if having to earn a living meant he got to admire Potter’s arse and shoulders in well-fitted clothes, it wasn’t that bad. Or was it?
Group Chat by @jadepresley: A screenshot of a group chat conversation between Draco, Harry, Ron, Pansy, Hermione and Theo.
Like Cinderella, But With Cock by @l0vegl0wsinthedark: ”Oh, shit,” he groans, “This is like Cinderella, isn’t it?! Like Cinderella, but with cock. Cock instead of slippers.” Where Harry’s hexed so that he can’t lose his erection until he sleeps with his soulmate. If only those were easier to find.
November Third by @queenofthyme: November third. It should have been a day like any other. Except it never was. Not for Draco Malfoy. Every November 3rd, the universe seemed to grant Draco Malfoy a chance with Harry Potter. A chance for what exactly, it wasn’t always clear. But something more than their rivalry. Something more than the empty words they shouted at each other across the schoolyard. Something that grew into a little bit more something every year.
Howlr by @partialtopotter: Howlr is the new dating application enchanting Witches, Wizards and Everyone in between. Are you looking for the one or a one-night stand; it’s all here folks. Howlr is sponsored by Weasley Wizard Wheezes, the same team that brought us the Spellular just two years ago. Ginny Weasley, famed chaser for the Hollyhead Harpies, swears by the app, ‘guaranteed to make sparks fly,’ she says. The magic awaits you!
It’s Joggers Season (or so the Muggles say) by @carpemermaidtales: Everything about Draco’s life since May has been one bloody long exercise in subverting everything he’s known, that’s expected of him, in an effort to get as far away from the mistakes he’s made—the wrong choices he was forced into. He’s returned to Hogwarts to take his N.E.W.T.s and everything is different—namely, Harry Potter strutting around in clingy joggers that Draco can’t get off his mind.
Quietly, as Requested by @shiftylinguini: Harry was trying to pretend Draco’s warm thigh against his own didn’t make his heart thump and his cock start to fill out inside his usual lazy Sunday attire ― which consisted of a t-shirt with a hole in the armpit and the world’s oldest, rattiest, ugliest and most comfortable pair of joggers. In comparison, Draco was wearing a buttoned up shirt and a pair of crisp, black trousers, which made him both seem impressively attractive and also entirely overdressed for this kind of occasion. Harry lifted one knee, trying to shield the view of his slightly tenting joggers, and the state he was rapidly finding himself in. Perhaps inviting Draco to Sunday Bad Movie night at Ron’s wasn’t that smart an idea after all.
Tackson Pollock [ALIYTM oneshot] by saras_girl: It’s a wet Sunday afternoon. What are a beetle and a Gryffindor to do? 
Dance Magic, Dance by @jet-playin: Only one person can make this Halloween night worth Harry's ridiculous costume, and he's not here...
Christmas lights to melt your heart by phrynne: The light does not move. It does not flicker, does not fade. He has the strange feeling it’s waiting for him. Basically, what the tags say + Harry is romantic af + Draco is clueless.
The Romantic Prawn Who Loved Christmas by @bixgirl1: When Draco, forced into sharing a room with Potter for the year, finds out that Potter has a sleepwalking problem, he expects the odd conversations and the weird games of chess. What comes as a complete shock are Potter's other activities...And why he seems so intent on having Draco join him. (Relax. It's just like a holiday Hallmark movie! ...With, uhm, sleepwanking.)

A Guide to Pet Safety During the Holiday Season
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
When you think about it, the holiday season is an unusually dangerous time. Christmas and the subsequent year-end festivities typically involve large quantities of humans gathering together. And wherever large human gatherings go, disaster statistically usually follows. Even during this very strange Christmas season, in which families will (hopefully) forego mass gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic, plenty of dangers linger. What are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, if not massive fire hazards?
As the human animal has demonstrated time and time again, there’s probably not much we can do to mitigate the dangers of the winter holidays. Brittle, flammable Christmas trees must be lit, and blister packaging must be torn open with a giant knife (NOTE: Please do not do this anymore). But hopefully we can at least all agree to do our best to protect the other, non-human animals we like to call our friends.
For as dangerous as the holiday season is for people, it can be just as dangerous for our beloved pets. The holiday landscape is positively littered with items and decorations that could prove toxic to dogs, cats, birds, and more. Not only that but more animals land in the ER around the holidays due to burns from candles than in any other season. 
Drs. Vernard Hodges and Terrence Ferguson are the veterinary duo behind the Critter Fixer Veterinary Hospital in rural Georgia and the stars of Nat Geo WILD’s documentary series Critter Fixers: Country Vets. They know better than most the dangers that the holiday season can pose to our furry, scaly, and/or feathered friends.
“During the holidays, we’re only really closed on Christmas Day,” Dr. Ferguson says. “We’re open the rest of the time.”
“I am sure I’ve spent at least five and maybe six Christmas mornings up. Accidents and emergencies happen,” Dr. Hodges adds.
Den of Geek spoke with Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson (who also penned this year’s childrens’ book C is for Critter Fixer) about what it takes to keep pets safe during the holiday season.
Dangerous Decorations
Perhaps the most consistent and pervasive element of the holiday season, decoration is also the most dangerous to pets. While human beings know (for the most part) that tinsel, streamers, and mistletoe aren’t there to be munched on, animals don’t have the same savvy. 
Of all the possible decorations during Christmas, Hanukkah, the New Year, and other observed winter holidays, Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Hodges point to plants as the most problematic. 
“One of the most popular plants is poinsettias and they are highly, highly, highly dangerous to dogs and cats,” Dr. Ferguson says. “You definitely want to keep them out of reach so they can’t get at them. They can be very toxic. They can cause death.”
Lilies, another common holiday mainstay, can be toxic to dogs as cats as well. But the doctors also point out that toxicity isn’t the only hazard presented by plants and other decorations. Anything consumed that was not meant to be consumed can prove to be dangerous to animals whether toxic or not. 
“We get a lot of animals in here that are vomiting or can’t hold food down. They have blockages,” Dr. Ferguson says. “A lot of these cats are very curious. The mistletoe, the tinsel, and things like that, they like to play with them and then they’ll ingest them.”
Oh, Christmas Tree
Of course, the ultimate decoration during any Christmas festivity is the mighty Christmas tree. Christmas trees pose many potential hazards to pets due to their height, ornamentation, and lighting. As one might expect, the ornaments in particular can prove irresistible to felines. 
“The cats will try to get up and bat the balls and everything. They aren’t normally afraid of them, so you want to be really careful with the cat actually tipping over the tree. If you have certain things on it you can probably cause a fire, so you want to be careful with that,” Dr. Hodges says. 
“Even with your lighting, some cats are ‘pawers,’ some cats are biters, so you don’t want your cat to be electrocuted either,” Dr. Ferguson adds. 
Burns are indeed a real concern during the holiday season, and the dangers aren’t just posed by the lighting on Christmas trees. 
“When potpourri was big, we used to see a lot more cats getting burned and I guess things are now not quite as bad. They smell those candles and potpourri and they instantly want to play with the wax and stuff,” Dr. Hodges says.
Watch What You (And They) Eat
While this is bound to be a safer holiday season for humans (and hopefully animals) than usual due to fewer people at family celebrations, one area of concern that won’t change much is in food preparation. Just about everyone knows that chocolate is toxic to dogs, cats, and other pets, but Drs. Hodges and Ferguson point out that there are many other foods cooked during the holidays that could be harmful to animals.
“You want to be really careful with some stuff while you’re cooking. If an onion falls on the floor, get those onions. Onions are quite toxic,” Dr. Hodges says. “Also grapes; people prepare salads and fruit salads and different things. When you’re preparing and that grape falls on the floor, don’t think, Okay, just let the dog eat it,’ because that actually destroys the kidneys. You get some nephrotoxicity from grapes. Garlic as well.”
Even holiday food that is not necessarily toxic in the moment for dogs and cats can cause issues down the road. Dr. Hodges identifies the common practice of throwing fat from meat on the floor for dogs as a common cause of pancreatitis for the animals.
“Animal-specific food only,” Dr. Ferguson says of his holiday food guide for pets. “Dog food for the dogs and cat food for the cats. Nothing from the table.”
Specific Risks for Dogs, Cats, Birds, and More
Perhaps you’ve noticed thus far that cats and dogs are the pets that make up the majority of the risk during the holiday season. Part of this is because they are the two most common house pets in the U.S. by far. But it also cannot be denied that they are just uniquely chaotic creatures. Which of the two represent the most danger to themselves and others during Christmastime? According to Drs. Hodges and Ferguson, it’s the doggos. 
“I’ve got to give it to dogs,” Dr. Hodges says. “Cats, they stalk and do different things, but dogs are, by nature, notoriously kind of clumsy. If anything hits the floor, they’ll eat it. I can’t remember the number of times I’ve had dogs come in. A vet is just trying to figure out ‘what the heck is going on? What has this dog done?’”
Dr. Hodges recalls a time that an owner believed that their dog got its paws on golden chocolate coins (gelt) from Hanukkah celebrations.
“Sure enough, I took an X-ray and this dog ate them whole. I think I cut out maybe 40 of these things – just whole coins from a whole bag. Dogs, I think, will find a way.”
Though dogs and cats make up the majority of holiday mischief, the vets’ advice to owners of less popular pets like birds, lizards, and hamsters is similar
“It’s pretty much the same thing,” Dr. Ferguson says. “If they can’t be watched or are not observed, then they need to be in their confinement so that they can’t get into these different things.”
“With birds, you have to be really careful with Teflon because Teflon is very toxic,” Dr. Hodges adds. “When you’re searing that butter and then the butter burns, that will move to your bird and you’ll find it at the bottom of their cage.”
What To Do During a Christmas Day Emergency
Thus far all of the Critter Fixers’ advice has been surrounding how to avoid holiday season pet emergencies. But what if an actual pet emergency arises on Christmas Day? According to Dr. Ferguson, the best plan of attack is to consider that possibility ahead of time and have access to your personal vet’s emergency line.
“We always let owners know to make sure they have our number, but they also have the number to the local emergency hospital so that when emergencies happen, you’re not scrambling trying to find numbers and you already have them stored,” Dr. Ferguson says. 
Dr. Hodges concurs: “If this is truly an emergency, then you definitely want to reach out to your veterinarian or emergency cert because some of this stuff can’t wait. A lot of times clients will call and they’ll be like, ‘I’m not sure if it is an emergency or not,’ and I normally say, ‘Look, if it was important enough for you to call, more than likely it’s an emergency, let’s get to the hospital.” We’d rather be safe than sorry.”
How Will COVID Effect Pets’ Holiday Experience?
Of course, the pet elephant in the room this holiday season is the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Medical experts have rightfully recommended that people not travel or visit with family this holiday season. Given the stress of that new normal, wondering how our animals will react to a change in schedule for the holiday season is probably not high on everyone’s list of concerns. But it’s worth asking the question anyway: will our pets notice these new, unusual holiday celebrations?
According to Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Hodges, our pets have already spent much of quarantines and lockdowns adjusting to their owners’ new schedules.
“The pandemic is allowing us to be home more so when we do leave, it causes a lot of anxiety in the pets because they’ve become accustomed to you being there all the time,” Dr. Ferguson says. “It’s not like normally when you leave in the morning and come home in the evening. They become accustomed to that and now they’re accustomed to being there all day.”
“I have this exact case,” Dr. Hodges says of a patient in exam room 6. “The guy was a truck driver and he’d been home (for quarantine) and when he started leaving again, the dog was really acting out.”
The jury’s still out on how changes in holiday preparation will affect pets’ psyche but the duo explains that as long as owners are attentive to their pets’ emotional state, things should be just fine. 
Despite the strangeness of this COVID holiday season, and all the risks inherent to seasonal celebrations, the Critter Fixers have some good news to go out on. 
“Hopefully with the vaccinations coming out, we’ll all be able to experience a normal holiday next Christmas. In the meantime, give your pets a lot of love and enjoy that unconditional love,” Dr. Hodges says, before adding, “We’ve been asked this all throughout (the pandemic): ‘Can pets get COVID and give it to you or vice versa?’ The answer is no. We all know that your pets are COVID-free, so you’re free to hug and kiss them.”
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
You heard the doctor’s orders. Happy holidays, everyone. Go hug and kiss some animals.

10 Ways to Give Back to Our Local Community This Holiday Season
Tumblr media
This year has demonstrated, perhaps more than ever, the importance of our family, friends, neighbors, and community. It truly “takes a village” to keep a community functioning effectively, whether that’s by keeping our waterways clean, feeding the hungry, teaching our kids, or supporting small businesses.
With the holidays right around the corner, December offers the perfect opportunity to give back to the place we call home. You might want to focus your efforts near home, expand to our larger community, or even help support the people closest to you. Whether you’re passionate about a particular cause or just want to get more involved in general, let these 10 ways, both big and small, inspire you to do good in your town.
  GIVE BACK NEAR HOME
1. Attract local wildlife. By making your neighborhood more wildlife friendly, you’re helping to  create a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Plus, many of the animals you can attract help with pest control and pollination.1
 Ideas:
●     Add a birdbath to your backyard or create a rain garden to attract wildlife (and filter out local pollutants).
●     Place bird feeders on your property to feed birds all year long.
●     Tie corncobs to tree branches to feed squirrels.
●     Hang birdhouses on your property to provide shelter.
●     Use native plants in your landscaping to provide food and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies, and other critters.
 Take action: While you might not be able to “break ground” until spring, start researching native plants now to design a landscaping plan that provides food, shelter, and water for local wildlife.
 2. Clean up our community. Besides beautifying the area, picking up trash keeps it out of our local waterways, which means a cleaner water supply for all of us.
Ideas:
●     Whether you make this a solo effort or join in an organized group event, pick up trash in your neighborhood, at a local park, or elsewhere in our community.
●     Depending on your community’s regulations, you can recycle many home items such as paper, glass, and aluminum.
●     And don’t forget to clean the exterior of your home, where water runoff (such as on your driveway and sidewalks) can carry debris into the local sewer system.2
Take action: Check with your local municipality to learn about environmental clean-up efforts in our community, as well as recycling and composting.  
 3. Organize or join a neighborhood watch. According to a recent report, neighborhoods with Neighborhood Crime Watch programs experience roughly 16 percent less crime.3 Keeping an eye out for each other instills a sense of safety and security in your neighborhood by increasing surveillance, reducing opportunities, and enhancing information sharing among residents. Even if your neighborhood doesn’t have an official program, you can still share crime information via a neighborhood Facebook group or apps like NextDoor.
Ideas:
●     Make a point of looking out for each other and being observant of what’s going on.
●     You can even make it official by joining a neighborhood watch program.
●     Don’t have one? Consider launching a neighborhood watch program with the help of other interested neighbors.
Take action: Some police forces use online mapping tools that provide crime alerts to people in neighborhoods where recent criminal activity occurred.3 Share this information with your neighbors.
 HELP OUT LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
4. Boost your civic engagement. Regardless of your politics, you can get more involved as a citizen to make a positive difference in our community.
Ideas:
●     Sign a petition to make a needed change in our community.
●     Join a peaceful march, protest, or rally to support a cause dear to your heart.
●     Attend local school board meetings, town halls, or city council meetings to understand (and have a voice in) local issues.4
●     Watch (and read) a variety of local news sources to get balanced reporting on what’s happening in our community.
●     If you don’t know your neighbors very well, introduce yourself.
●     Then make a commitment to check in on those who might need help, such as an elderly neighbor.
●     Get plugged into the resources and events in our town by visiting local museums, taking historical tours, borrowing materials from our local library, and attending community festivals.
Take action: Do you know who our local leaders are, such as our mayor or city councilwoman? Get to know their names, their policies, and their stand on issues that affect our community. Subscribe to their newsletter and follow them on social media.
 5. Support local businesses. Our community has been impacted by the pandemic, with many businesses being forced to limit capacity, instill social distancing efforts, and even shutter entirely in some cases. Help keep money in our local economy by shopping local instead of relying on online shopping from national chains.
Ideas:
●     From handcrafted soaps and one-of-a-kind apparel to locally produced chocolate and small-batch wines, you’ll find plenty of unique gifts at the small businesses that dot our community.
●     Consider purchasing tickets to attend live-streamed holiday concerts and shows.
●     Buy cookies and other baked goods from our local bakery.
●     Get takeout from our local restaurants.
●     Support local farmers by purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables at community farmer’s markets.
Take action: If you’re concerned about shopping in person right now, many of these businesses, though small, offer online shopping, with options for in-store pick-up, curbside delivery, and/or mail options.
 6. Donate to local charities. Nonprofits could always use your financial support, so consider making a monetary donation to help them carry out their mission in our community. But if money is tight (or you want to support in other ways), think beyond just donating dollars.
Ideas:
●     Consider donating to a charity in someone else’s name as an altruistic gift on behalf of a friend or relative.
●     Give blood to our local blood bank.
●     Donate new or used books to our community library.
●     Send school supplies to our neighborhood elementary school.
●     Help struggling neighbors by donating blankets to the homeless.
●     Pick out toys to give to a charity that caters to families. 5
Take action: Many collection efforts run by charitable organizations and businesses take place during the holidays. Look to see what’s already taking place in our community and choose one or more to give to this season.
 CARE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS
7. Organize a holiday food drive. This year, in particular, people are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table. The pandemic has caused many businesses to close or reduce their staff size, putting many people out of work.
Ideas:
●     If you personally know someone who needs help buying groceries, reach out and offer to help that one family.
●     If not, partner with a local food bank, soup kitchen, nonprofit or community organization that feeds people in need.
●     Round up a few friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors to collect food for a few weeks. Then deliver the bounty in time for the holidays.
Take action: Take advantage of your grocery store coupons and buy-one-get-one offers to inexpensively stock up on nonperishable goods.
 8. Adopt a family or an individual. The holidays can be a struggle, especially financially, for some families. They might not be able to buy a Christmas tree or presents for their children. Maybe their holiday meal consists of boxed macaroni and cheese because they can’t afford a turkey and fresh vegetables. You can make a difference by “adopting” a particular family (or even just a child) to help make their holiday special.
Ideas:
●     If you know a needy family, help them directly.
●     If not, ask a community group for the name of a family or individual in need.
●     Some businesses even sponsor toy drives or “angel trees” where you can pick the name of a needy family off the tree and buy from their wish lists.
Take action: This works great as a family project. Get the kids in your life involved to help make holiday cards and pick out toys to give to the children in the adopted family.
 9. Volunteer. Depending on your schedule and your preferences, you might be able to volunteer in-person or from home, whether it’s a one-time effort or ongoing project. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people in your community as you make a positive impact together for a shared cause.
Ideas:
●     Give your time to a cause or organization that really matters to you, such as your local school, animal rescue organization, mental health awareness group, or environmental nonprofit.6
●     Tap into a skill you already have, like creating videos, and offer your services.
●     Or learn a new skill (like fundraising) to benefit your cause of choice.
Take action: Start with your local community to see where its needs are the greatest. Make a point to help this holiday season, perhaps extending your commitment throughout 2021.
 10. Perform random acts of kindness. Don’t think you need to “go big or go home” in your give-back efforts. You can make a big difference one small act at a time.
Ideas:
●     Give a generous tip to a waitress.
●     Pay for the coffee of the car behind you in the drive-through.
●     Take care of a neighbor’s pet while they’re out of town.
●     Send holiday cards to deployed military personnel.
●     Deliver a plate of homemade holiday cookies to our local fire or police station.
●     Smile at a stranger.
●     Rake leaves for an elderly neighbor.
●     Thank your child’s teacher for all their hard work this year.
●     Send an uplifting text to a friend.
●     Compliment someone.
●     Help a coworker with an unpleasant task.  
Take action: Need more ideas? Visit randomactsofkindness.org for hundreds of inspiring ways to make someone’s day a little brighter.

Beyond breast cancer: #WhyIWrite
Tumblr media
Today is National Day on Writing. The hashtag #WhyIWrite has people around the country sharing their stories about their way with words. Mine is a long story. Still, it’s mine. 
Indulge me a bit, please.
I’d like to look beyond breast cancer. I’d like to talk about #WhyIWrite.
Today is National Day on Writing.
The day promoted by the National Council of Teachers of English recognizes the importance, joy and evolution of writing through a tweetup, using the hashtag #WhyIWrite. The day also celebrates events hosted by educators across the country.
If you’re a writer, if you enjoy good stories, if you have a few minutes to spare on a beautiful fall day, check out http://www.ncte.org/dayonwriting/involve, the website for the National Day on Writing. This link takes you to a section that encourages people to get involved, share their wit and words. Please do.
For me, Why I Write …
> I’m a pretty reserved person. Put a few bourbons in me, though, and that’s not necessarily the case. Still, on a daily basis before noon, I’m quiet, contemplative and observant. I don’t like to speak unless I’m spoken to. Writing lets me change that. I have a voice when I’m behind the keyboard. I can talk like a lady. I can swear like a sailor. I can even admit some of my deepest secrets with a bit of humor and behind-the-scenes honesty.
> When I was a child, I woke one Christmas morning to find a red and white plastic typewriter with a note pecked out and addressed to me. Santa Claus brought me a typewriter and he left a nice note. This BLEW my little blonde mind. I remember how I felt that morning, knowing Santa Claus cared enough to spend a few minutes wishing me well and encouraging me to put my own words to paper. My next typewriter was an electronic model my grandmother gifted me as I entered college. Personal computers were just starting to make a splash and I was still chained to a trusty typewriter. If I had my choice today, I would be pounding out my blog on sheets of white paper bound tightly to a roller, ribbon ink staining my fingers, using as much white correction fluid as I could stomach and quietly scanning these documents into the computer, onto my blog, readers being none the wiser.
> When I was a junior in high school, a language arts teacher charged my class with a creative writing assignment. From what I remember, there weren’t many parameters around the assignment. He wanted us to write a story the class could read and judge. For a few days, I thought about the assignment. I had a nugget of an idea and I started researching names for my main character. I no longer have that story but I wish I did. I was absent the day my class read the assignments. When I returned the next day, the teacher pulled me aside and said the class voted my story among the top two. The story was about a young man who fell in love with a much younger girl in the neighborhood. The man often played with the young girl and, on occasion, watched over her while the girl’s mother was busy at work. People in the neighborhood whispered about this man and the little girl. He did not care. The man gently brushed the girl’s hair. Carefully cooked her favorite foods. He doted on her, spoiled her. The man called the little girl, ‘Doll Baby.’ In the end, the little girl and her family moved away. The man was left with a black and white photograph and a small pink hairbrush.
I think the little girl’s nickname, ‘Doll Baby,’ the title of my story, freaked out my teacher. I explained how I came up with the story and the title. I said my grandfather always called me ‘Doll Baby.’ The teacher looked dumbfounded. I quickly continued this was simply a pet name from my loving grandfather to his first grandchild. He was entirely ‘grandfatherly’ to me. Always.
I will never forget how my classmates looked at me after they read that story. Some were a little shocked. Some who never talked to me before sought me out, wanted my suggestions for their writing. It was heady.
> In college, after failing miserably at my first course of study, sports medicine, I enjoyed a few semesters of English classes while casting about trying to find my way in life. One class introduced me to the brilliance of Flannery O’Connor. Another class, taught by a former poet laureate for the state of Colorado, again tapped into my creative writing ambitions. One assignment had me writing about the desolate landscape around Lander, Wyo., and The Wind River Indian Reservation. My brother and I often spent time in Lander and around The Res growing up. My aunt worked as a government liaison in the community.
My story focused on a white landowner and the Native American man who helped tend his land. I wrote about the coyotes that wailed into the night only breaking through the howling wind on occasion. I wrote about the colorful trout that swam in shallow pools and jumped into the air to snag mosquitos hovering above the bone-cold river. And, I wrote about the relationship the two men enjoyed. Both were crusty, cantankerous individuals. Still, they finished each other’s sentences. They knew how strong to make the coffee. They were fiercely devoted to each other. It wasn’t a ‘Brokeback Mountain’ kind of devotion. (I saw that movie decades later and smiled at the casual similarities.) Instead, it was the comradery shared by men who worked together for decades. In the end, the white landowner dies. His friend buries him on a hilltop so he can still watch over his land. He builds a makeshift headstone and leaves a note. The contents of the note are never revealed and I never said what happened to the Native American.
When the class critiqued my story, there were a few decent comments. Some nice words about the scenes I wrote. Then, a young man sitting across from me chimed in and said he thought the story was ‘trite’ and ‘corny.’ I smiled, nodded and thanked my classmates for their feedback. Afterward, the teacher saw me leaving. She smiled and shrugged. I will never forget that night in a lecture hall at Colorado State University. My first real brush with criticism of my work.
> Eventually, I landed in journalism, writing stories about the communities where I lived. My first beat was as a regional reporter for the college newspaper. I enjoyed getting out, away from campus and reporting on the city beyond the university. After college, I landed a job at my hometown newspaper, returning to the small Northern Colorado city where I grew up. In truth, I was a terrible reporter in those early days. I was tasked with covering a university in the community; weekend crime; health & wellness; and, religion. It was a broad beat for a beaten broad. However, during my time at this newspaper, I was fortunate to find my legs with a couple stories that stick with me. The first was a late-night barn fire that involved a large chicken coop, many dead birds and one scrappy hen a firefighter pulled to safety and tried to revive with a child’s oxygen mask. I still have the front page of that edition. The photo is glorious. The story was well received even though the hen did not pull through. The publisher even gave me a clap on the back for getting out to a late-night blaze with a photographer in tow. Another story that sticks with me from those early days was a feature about a man farming a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ plot. For decades, this man’s devout family had planted and rotated crops at the site. His first remark to me was something like, ‘There’s no better time of year than the spring. Everything is new, filled with promise.’ For some reason. that resonated with me. I was new to journalism. I was filled, I thought, with some promise.
Fast forward, my career in journalism took me to different states, covering everything from a group of young hoods associated with Sammy the Bull Gravano in a Phoenix suburb to a young boy scout accused of sexual assault who fled the country before facing charges to a pair of wayward moose far flung from home resting beneath giant shade trees along Colorado’s busy Interstate 25.  
I was fortunate to work with amazing, brilliant, angry, obnoxious, glorious and gifted people during my time in newspapers. I left journalism after a corporate reorganization that soured my stomach. The day I left the newsroom, I stood with people I hired straight out of college and those more old and gray than me and I cried. I was sure it was the end of my writing life. It tore me apart to stand before the people I worked with, loved and feel so broken down. Little did I know the move would be important.
> When I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 1.0 in 2013, I remember standing in a cold exam room, stretching my neck high so I didn’t have a double chin and snapping a selfie. I was about to have a biopsy and I thought this was an important moment to capture. When I look back at that photo, I remember exactly how I felt. I was cold. I was scared. And, I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or curse. To find my way, I started researching breast cancer issues. I started writing about every indelicate and indiscreet moment with my cancer. When I look back, my words written as the Cancer Diva are helpful, I think. They are also difficult for me. I never expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. I never expected to learn far more about this disease than I ever wanted to. I’m glad I did, though. In a strange way, this disease made me write again. I felt like myself again. Although I was sick, bald and barfy, I could put on my Cancer Diva persona and tell stories about the disease. I could try to help people understand a diagnosis or simply find help when they needed a service to clean their house. When my hair started to grow back after a year’s worth of chemo, I thought it was time for the Cancer Diva to exit stage left, quietly make her way to retirement.
After three years in remission, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2.0. Cancer had made camp in my bra again and I was scared. I shut down.
My words about the disease were few and far between. Having this diagnosis after doctors, nurses, secretaries, family and friends told me I did everything right the first time was too much. The diagnosis wasn’t great, Stage 3C metastatic cancer. So, I pledged to get through treatment quietly. I didn’t want to write about how terrified I was. I didn’t want to burden people with the emotion that comes with meeting an estate planning attorney while supporting a post-surgery fluid drain. I didn’t want to dwell on how exhausted, angry and hurt I was.
Recently, however, I have started to feel like myself again. My words are coming more easily. I can, again, laugh about some of the absurdities of day-to-day life with cancer.
In my new blog, Twice Bitten, I try to talk about what I can remember from the past year of treatment. I try to put my words to use again.
If you’re still with me after all this, Thank You. Knowing there are people out in the world reading my words is Why I Write. Knowing that someday my words might help another person facing cancer is Why I Write.
Mostly, Why I Write is because it helps me parse, put into perspective and process what life throws my way. I feel fortunate to have people who no longer find my words ‘trite’ or ‘corny.’
Why I Write is because this woman behind the keyboard is my most flawed, fractured, honest self.
