On Monday evening, December 6, the waitstaff and bartenders at T-BONES Great American Eatery in Hudson collected all their tips to purchase much-needed items for area youth that will be provided to the Salvation Army for holiday distribution.

This is now a holiday tradition not only for the staff, but for many of the loyal T-BONES customers that plan to dine on that day and give generously in order to help those in need.

One great way to celebrate the holidays is to help a furry friend in need. If you’re thinking of adopting a pet, animal shelters are a fantastic option. Warner Bros. and the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) want to remind potential pet owners that adopting and caring for a companion animal goes far beyond providing food, water and shelter—it’s a lifelong commitment. It takes research and careful


planning to bring the right pet into your home. For more help with adopting the perfect family pet, consider the following tips from the ASPCA: • Before you adopt a pet, talk to family members about what they want. Discuss everyone’s likes and dislikes. Large dogs may be too strong or active for young children, for example, while some people may simply prefer cats over canines. • If you’re getting a pet for your children, do not expect the kiddies to do all the work. Children, no matter how mature, need constant supervision and help handling the responsibility of a cat or dog. Ultimately, the

Adopting a Cat or Dog This Holiday Season


In the movie Cats & Dogs: Te Revenge of Kitty Galore, an evil feline plans to take over the world, prompting cooperation between cats and dogs.


parent is responsible. • Teach your children about responsible pet ownership before you adopt, and make sure they are ready for the changes a new pet will bring. Learn about pet care, and explain to your children that walking a dog several times a day or cleaning a cat’s litter box is part of the ongoing responsibility of caring for an animal. • Make sure a pet suits your home and lifestyle. Your personality and lifestyle—along with challenges such as space restrictions and the amount of time your family spends at home—should be explored to determine which pet is right for your household. Also, be sure to watch Warner


Bros.’ family-friendly Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, now available on Blu-ray combo pack and DVD. In the movie, an evil feline plans to unleash a diabolical device and take over the entire world. Cats and dogs are forced to work together for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to save themselves—and their beloved humans—from global cat-astrophe. The film blends live action, state- of-the-art puppetry and computer animation in order to create a visual spectacular that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. With an all- star cast led by Christina Applegate, Neil Patrick Harris, Bette Midler and Nick Nolte, this pet-friendly romp will strike a chord with any animal lover. You can visit www.aspca.org to find a shelter near you.
