Instant Heirloom

øPET^ NOSE PENDANTS! õ

File this under “Things You

Didn’t Know You Needed.”

Pennsylvania artist Kaleen Wolfe

creates custom necklaces of

your favorite wet noses. How it

works: Using a nontoxic mold kit

(supplied by Kaleen), you’ll

make an imprint of your pet’s

nose and send it off to be

transformed into a sterling silver

necklace with an 18-inch chain.

From $210; uncommongoods.com

Ask a Country Vet

Want to invite your pet to the

Thanksgiving feast? Our resident

animal expert, Dr. Tricia Earley,

talks turkey.

If you’re inclined to save your pooch a

place at the table, well-cooked turkey

breast with no gravy is a huge hit, and

sweet potatoes and pumpkin puree are

great sources of fi ber. (Hold the

pumpkin pie—the fi lling contains a high

amount of sugar, which your pups

can’t handle.) Boiled potatoes are great,

but mashed potatoes are off -limits,

as all that butter won’t sit well. Green

beans, apples, and cranberries are

acceptable side dishes, and your

canine can top it off with a nonbuttered

dinner roll. Avoid undercooked meat,

any fats like turkey skin or butter, and

anything with bones, chocolate, or

raisins. If your pet crosses the proverbial

caution tape and becomes sick, consult

your veterinarian. ILL
