It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A busy house full of guests and noise can be very stressful for animals, and all those tempting decorations and foods can pose significant risks.
Help your pet have a healthy and happy Christmas by following these six tips:

1.       If you’re hosting celebrations, exercise pets before your guests arrive. This will help them de-stress and make them more likely to nap once the festivities are underway.

2.       Create a safe, quiet place for your pet to relax away from the party. Even the most social creatures need a break sometimes. It may also help to play music or leave the TV on to mask the chatter of visitors.

3.       Don’t give in to those puppy dog eyes. Christmas food includes some of the most dangerous foods for animals to consume. Festive foods can be fatal, so don’t give in to those pleading looks!
Particularly, do not let your pets anywhere near alcohol, avocado, chocolate, Christmas pudding, coffee, cooked bones, currants, fruit cake, grapes, gravy, ham, lollies, macadamia nuts, marinades, onion, pork, raisins or sugarless gum.

Of course, some pets can be very crafty when it comes to plotting ways to obtain special treats, so keep an eye out for any changes in appearance or behaviour (including poor breathing, excessive panting, poor breathing, muscle twitching, vomiting and diarrhoea). If you think your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t have, please take them to the local vet as soon as possible.

4.       Keep Christmas decorations out of reach. A dog may think the baubles hanging from the tree look conveniently like toys or tennis balls – but if a plastic or glass ornament breaks in their mouth, it could cause serious damage. Edible decorations like candy canes can also pose a risk. It’s best to hang anything risky near the top of the tree. If your dachshund is fascinated by the tinsel or tree lights, keep an eye on these too, to avoid the risk of choking or electric shock.

5.       Clean up wrapping paper quickly after presents have been opened. If chewed, wrapping paper and ribbons can prove dangerous for a pet’s intestines.

6.       Don’t forget to give your pet a special Christmas treat! Your pet needn’t miss out on all the festive cheer - you can have some fun with this one. You could create a treasure hunt of dry food or treats around the house or yard, make some yummy treats, or take some time to play their favourite games with them.

I’ve been in crypto for a few years though not a complete beginner, but definitely not a pro. Over time, I built up a decent portfolio, mostly stablecoins like USDT, spread across Ethereum, BSC, and occasionally Tron. I knew enough to move things around confidently… or so I thought. One night, I was transferring $180,000 worth of USDT from my Ethereum wallet to what I thought was my Binance Smart Chain wallet. I copied the BSC address from Trust Wallet, pasted it into MetaMask, and hit send. Gas fee confirmed, transaction successful. Then it hit me. I had sent ERC-20 tokens to a BEP-20 address—same string, sure, but completely different networks. The USDT was gone. Not stolen, not failed—just stuck. Sitting on the Ethereum blockchain, locked in a wallet address I couldn't access on that chain. And since it was technically a valid transaction, there was no way to cancel or reverse it. I spent the next two days in full crisis mode on Reddit threads, YouTube tutorials, random Telegram “experts.” Most people said the funds were unrecoverable. A few hinted at some complicated “maybe” solutions, but none of that gave me any confidence. MetaMask couldn’t help, Binance said it was out of their control, and even a few friends of mine said I was probably out of luck. Then someone in a crypto dev group mentioned a company called SpyHost Cybersecurity Company. I’d never heard of them before, but the way they talked about them—it wasn’t like your typical “we recover your funds” type of service. This sounded more serious, like real professionals. From the first interaction, it felt different. They weren’t asking dumb questions or throwing out vague promises. I was assigned a case manager. These guys didn’t fluff things up—they broke down exactly what had happened, showed me on the block explorer where the funds were stuck, and walked me through how recovery might work. They didn’t sugarcoat it, but they also didn’t make it sound impossible. Just technical. And very possible—if handled right. Turns out, since I controlled both the Ethereum wallet (that sent the funds) and the BSC wallet (where I intended to receive them), they could use that to construct a custom recovery transaction. SpyHost had built their own internal tools to deal with this exact kind of issue—cases where tokens are trapped between chains but tied to the same address. And after about 72 hours, just like they said, the USDT hit my wallet( The full $180,000) What impressed me the most wasn’t just that they recovered the funds—it was how they handled the entire process. Professional, secure, detailed. Since then, I’ve recommended SpyHost Cybersecurity Company to anyone even remotely involved in crypto. Whether you’re a trader, investor, or just holding some coins for the long haul—if you ever find yourself in a mess like I was, these are the people you want in your corner and they can be reached out to through their official E-mail address which is (Spyhost@cyberdude. com)
