Also, holidays are a time when extra electrical cords are strung. The curious Labradors could find these especially interesting. Be careful with the use of these.
Finally, don’t forget about Christmas trees. Remember, these can be very flammable, in fact, some cities don’t allow real Christmas trees inside apartments. Cities require fake Christmas trees as those are often much less flammable than real trees. At any rate, don’t leave your dog alone during holiday time with the Christmas tree lights on.
