Celebrate Safely with your Pets this Season
No Nos
These items could prove perilous to your pets - don't let them in your home or keep them out of reach: medications, tinsel, salt-dough ornaments, xylitol, alcoholic beverages, chocolate.
Give your Babies What They Need
Excitable pets may need an extra-long walk before celebrations begin, while shy pets could benefit from a cozy spot away from the festivities. If you expect a lot of coming and going through exterior doors, it may be best to let your pet have a quiet room to themselves. And remember - accidents still could happen, so make sure your pet has an up-to-date personalized ID tag and microchip.
Travel Prep Makes for Happy Tails
Tire out your high-energy pups before a car ride - and all pets could benefit from a toy to keep them busy during a trip. Put a block of ice in a bowl so your cutie can stay hydrated without making a big, wet mess.

"We genuinely believe that without SCSOPA we wouldn't have gotten as far as we did in such a short amount of time. SCSOPA is the best thing to have happened to us. I say 'us' because they not only help our daughter advance her skill set; they also are like family now. The staff is always helpful and going out of their way for the parents and students. The energy is always positive and the classes are great. Our daughter's skills are constantly improving. She even signed with a top talent agent and has already done some work.
Our advice to anyone interested in having their child start in show biz is to take a leap of faith and
make the commitment. We make the three-hour drive several times a week. When you see
how much your child has advanced you will look back and say, 'It was worth it!'"

Bridge to Home's Soup for the Soul Continues in the Virtual Format in December
Following a record-breaking event in 2020, Soup for the Soul will once again be presented virtually in 2021. Buy your tickets now for the event which will take place on December 4. Participants will be entertained and inspired by returning host Shawn Parr - the outrageously-fun nationally-syndicated radio host will emcee an evening filled with fantastic entertainment! The much-anticipated Soup for the Soul event is the largest fundraiser for Bridge to Home - raising crucial funds which allow for year-round shelter services and resources for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
"Soup for the Soul is one of the most anticipated events of the year in Santa Clarita," said Bridge to Home Executive Director Michael Foley. "We are excited to once again offer an evening of unparalleled entertainment, heart-warming stories, important shelter news and a can't-miss auction. Plus, viewers will get an update on the progress toward a permanent homeless shelter in Santa Clarita."
Guests are encouraged to gather safely with small groups of family and friends to view Soup for the Soul. All participants will pick-up their custom curated food box the afternoon of the event. This year, guests will dine on four tantalizing soups, cooked up by local restaurants, fresh-baked breads, crisp green salad and a decadent dessert. As you indulge in the comfort of hot soup, you can watch the live show and auction on Facebook live or SCVTV Channel 20.
