More on Bethany & Seth
Bethany and Seth are two kids that are most definitely making a difference in this community. I wasn’t fully aware of all that they do until I received a comment from their mom. She shared more information on what they did and what they are doing.
Thank you and your family for all that you do for the non-profit organizations in the Brazos Valley.

A note from their mother…
I am Bethany and Seth Ramsey mother and I want everyone to know that they invested their allowance and had a bake sale and their $10.00 total allowance turned it into $30.00 to donate to the shelter. They have also created a club and they have bake sales and donate proceeds to different charities. They are great kids and I hope that people encourage their kids to give and to be selfless because the rewards are greater than those of just recieving. Remember that $5.00 makes a difference. Our family is also willing to go to your home and pick up donations for the the shelter if your not able to make it there personally. Just make sure they are off of the shelters wish list. So give us a call 979-492-1835 or send Bethany and Seth an email at bethanyandseth@gmail.com and help us help the shelter! Thanks.

Kids giving back…
We always love when the kids come into the shelter with donations. Whether it is a birthday party of toys for the pets here, part of a donation drive that we are having, or just because they wanted to. We are able to give the animals so much more with the help from the community.
Today, Bethany and Seth came into the shelter to donate toys and things for the animals here. They even decided to go above and beyond with their donations… they regularly donate their allowance to the Brazos Animal Shelter.
Thank you Bethany and Seth! You are making a difference in your community!

Talking Turkey
I found this great article about Thanksgiving Safety Tips for you and your pets from the ASPCA website. Had to share!

Thanksgiving Safety Tips
‘Tis the season for friends, family and holiday feasts—but also for possible distress for our animal companions. Pets won’t be so thankful if they munch on undercooked turkey or a pet-unfriendly floral arrangement, or if they stumble upon an unattended alcoholic drink.
Check out the following tips from ASPCA experts for a fulfilling Thanksgiving that your pets can enjoy, too.
Talkin’ Turkey
If you decide to feed your pet a little nibble of turkey, make sure it’s boneless and well-cooked. Don’t offer her raw or undercooked turkey, which may contain salmonella bacteria.Sage Advice
Sage can make your Thanksgiving stuffing taste delish, but it and many other herbs contain essential oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils.No Bread Dough
Don’t spoil your pet’s holiday by giving him raw bread dough. According to ASPCA experts, when raw bread dough is ingested, an animal’s body heat causes the dough to rise in his stomach. As it expands, the pet may experience vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating, which could become a life-threatening emergency, requiring surgery.Don’t Let Them Eat Cake
If you’re baking up Thanksgiving cakes, be sure your pets keep their noses out of the batter, especially if it includes raw eggs—they could contain salmonella bacteria that may lead to food poisoning.Too Much of a Good Thing
A few small boneless pieces of cooked turkey, a taste of mashed potato or even a lick of pumpkin pie shouldn’t pose a problem. However, don’t allow your pets to overindulge, as they could wind up with a case of stomach upset, diarrhea or even worse—an inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis. In fact, it’s best keep pets on their regular diets during the holidays.A Feast Fit for a Kong
While the humans are chowing down, give your cat and dog their own little feast. Offer them rawhide strips, Nylabones or made-for-pet chew bones. Or stuff their usual dinner—perhaps with a few added tidbits of turkey, vegetables (try sweet potato or green beans) and dribbles of gravy—inside a Kong toy. They’ll be happily occupied for awhile, working hard to extract their dinner from the toy.
