December 15th, 2011Dog In the Manger
Meaning: A person unwilling to let other people have or do something, even though their having it or doing it is of no actual consequence or value to the first person.
Origins & History: Derives from a Fable of Aesop (sixth century BCE, although he amounts pretty much to a fable himself) about a dog who positioned himself on top of a manger – a hay trough – inside a farmyard barn and would not allow the farm’s ox or horse near the manger to eat the hay in it, although he had no desire to eat the hay himself.
* from the book Dog the Wag by Mike Darton

Christmas Pet Safety
It’s that time of year when people are a little nicer, houses are decorated, and everything seems so festive. Even with all the “good will toward men” attitude going around, there are some pet safety concerns to consider during this season. Through all the bustle lies several temptations that are dangerous for our pets. Please visit the following links for information on pet safety during the Christmas Season.
