The holiday season is hectic. In-
troducing a puppy into a household
during such confusion will be hard
on both you and the dog. Overexcited
children may scare the puppy or
neglect it, especially if it chews
their new presents or has an acci-
dent on the rug.
A puppy is not a toy. It requires
a continuous supply of shelter, food,
exercise, training, attention, and
medical care throughout its life. This
~holiday giR~ will be part of the
family for 10 years or more.
If your family or friend is com-
mitted to raising a puppy, substi-
tute a "dog voucher~ for the real
thing. After the holiday festivities
are over, you can research the dif-
ferent breeds together to find the
one that suits. Adult size, disposi-
tion, and amount of grooming are
among the factors that need to be
considered. Then you can go together
to a reputable breeder and pick out
that special companion.

Caring For Fresh Roses
A rose may be a rose, may be a
rose, but taking good care of your
holiday roses can stretch your en-
joyment of them and make your
holidays more fun. Here are some
tips on caring for fresh roses from
the experts at Roses Inc., the na-
tional trade association of Ameri-
can rose growers.
*As soon as you get them home,
carefully cut the stems under water
about an inch or so above the end.
The fresh cut should be on a long
gradual •lant. Holding the stem end
under water while making the cut
eliminates any drying that might
otherwise occur in preparing the
rose for arranging.
*Immediately place the newly
cut stems in clear, clean, barely
warm water. For even longer life,
you should use a floral preservative
in the water. Ask your professional
florist for a packet of preservative
when ordering your rose•.
• Change the water each day and
keep the roses away from excessive
heat or cold.
Remember, the best assurance
that the rose you buy is fresh and
healthy is the reputation and expe-
rience your local professional retail
florist can give you when you pur-
chase your holiday gift of roses.
• While shop-
ping, wear com-
fortable shoes
with thick, flex-
ible soles. The
cushioning soft-
ens the foot shock
that results from walking on hard
tile floors in stores and malls.
• If high heels are a "must" with
your new party dress, be sure to use
Hidden Comfort@High Heel Insoles
to cushion tender ball-of-foot and
heel areas without crowding toes.
• Standing while cooking, bak-
ing or entertaining guests can take
a toll on feet. If you can't stop for a
break, rejuvenate hot, itchy, tired
feet with a refreshing tbot spray.

*If you know you'll be wearing
high heels in the evening, try to
wear lower heels or flat shoes dur-
ing the day to minimize the stress
on feet muscles.
*Treat your hardworking feet to
a holiday of their own! Start with a
15-minute foot soak to relax tired
feet. When feet are dry, massage
one foot at a time, kn-ading the skin
with your thumbs, Start at the toes,
go across the arch, to the heel and
all the way up the calf.
An old-fashioned sleigh ride is
just one of the many winter activi-
ties families can enjoy.
