Cooked eggs can be tasty treat for canines
Dear Heloise:
I’m looking for a different kind of treat and snack for my dog. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey Kelly! Adding new foods into your dog’s diet can be tricky. But did you know that eggs are a great occasional snack for dogs? Loaded with amino- and fatty acids, along with monster amounts of protein, eggs are a delicious choice for dogs.
Caveat control: Raw eggs can contain the salmonella bacteria, so watch for that. And adding new foods in the dog’s diet can possibly cause tummy trouble.
But all in all, eggs are a good, cheap and nutritious sometimes-snack for dogs.

Here is a picture of our two Siamese cats Hamish, who is a chocolate point, and Angus, who is a seal point, enjoying a winter day in the recliner.
They are resting from being on bird and squirrel patrol in snowy New Hampshire.

Dear Heloise:
My daughter has a service dog, and I’d like to remind your readers: When you see the dog, do not touch, tease, make eye contact with, talk to him or pet him. What should you do? Just ignore him; he’s working!

Dear Heloise:
Did you know? The school nurse at my daughter’s elementary provides a tooth-shaped container for those who lose a tooth during the course of a school day.
Shaped like a molar, it’s a perfect little keepsake holder. And it’s strung on a necklace, so it’s hard to misplace. We slip the holder with the tooth inside under the pillow for the tooth fairy!
