PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IN 2024,
MICHIGAN, RIGHT AT THE CENTER OF
THOSE CHANGES THIS WEEKEND AND
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE IS
EXPECTED TO RECOMMEND CHANGING
THE ORDER OF ITS PRESIDENTIAL
PRIMARY CALENDAR. THE PROPOSAL
WOULD SEE SOUTH CAROLINA LEADING
OFF THE 2024 PRIMARIES AND NOT
IOWA. WHICH HAS BEEN A TRADITION
FOR DECADES. UNDER THE
RECOMMENDATIONS, MICHIGAN WOULD
ALSO BE AMONG THE FIRST STATES
HOLDING ITS PRIMARY AND COULD BE
AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY. 27TH. THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SCORING A BIG
VICTORY TONIGHT ON ITS
INVESTIGATION INTO THE TOP
SECRET DOCUMENTS SEIZED FROM
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S
FLORIDA HOME. A FEDERAL APPEALS
COURT HAS HALTED A SPECIAL
SPECIAL MASTER REVIEW, CLEARING
THE WAY FOR THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT TO USE THOSE
DOCUMENTS AS PART OF ITS
INVESTIGATION. FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS SEVEN DAYS TO APPEAL
THE RULING. WHILE THE HOLIDAYS
CAN BE FESTIVE AND FUN, IT CAN
ALSO BE A PRETTY DANGEROUS TIME
FOR YOUR PETS ARE PAULA TUTMAN
LIVE IN DOWNTOWN ROCHESTER
TONIGHT? PAULA THESE NEXT FEW
WEEKS ARE VERY BUSY FOR
VETERINARIANS. YES THEY REALLY
ARE. AND I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN
TAKE A LOOK AROUND. HOW DID THIS
HAPPEN? THE HOLIDAYS ARE CLEARLY
UPON US. AND THIS IS THE TIME WE
NORMALLY WARREN PET OWNERS AND
REMIND THEM THAT THEY’VE GOT TO
BE EXTRA CAREFUL FOR THEIR PETS
. BUT WE TALKED TO A
VETERINARIAN TODAY AND SHE’S
SAYING SHE’S SEEING A LITTLE
SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW THIS
YEAR. BUDGE JOB. BAILEY JUST GOT
A FANTASTIC REPORT ON HIS
CHECKUP, TEETH COAT, SKIN BELLY
. I THINK MOST DOGS, ESPECIALLY
AROUND HOLIDAY TIME, THEY TEND
TO EITHER GET FED STUFF OR THEY
GET INTO STUFF. BIGGEST THING,
RIGHT? DON’T OVERSEAS GOT IT.
PARENTS ARE PRETTY CAREFUL ABOUT
HIS ACCESS TO HOLIDAY STUFF
BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE
HIDDEN AND NOT SO HIDDEN DANGERS
THAT ENTER A HOUSE THIS TIME OF
YEAR. WE DON’T KEEP ANY HOLIDAY
PLANTS SO WE DON’T ALLOW POINTS
OUT THAT IS IN OUR HOUSE. JUST
BECAUSE THEY’RE POISONOUS TO
DOGS, SO I DON’T WANT TO WORRY
ABOUT IT. BUT EVEN CAREFUL, PAT
PARENTS CAN GET SURPRISED. AND
WHAT DOCTOR CHRISTIE YE OF
HOMETOWN VETERINARY HOSPITAL IS
SEEING IN HER ROCHESTER OFFICE
IS NOT JUST THE USUAL HOLIDAY
SUSPECTS LIKE CHOCOLATE AND
POINT SATA’S. UNFORTUNATELY
WE’RE SEEING A HIGHER INCIDENCE
OF EDIBLE CONSUMPTION. AND SO
WE’RE SEEING MORE AND MORE CASES
OF DOGS COMING IN THAT HAVE
GOTTEN INTO OWNERS EDIBLES
MARIJUANA LEGAL IN MICHIGAN FROM
MEDICINAL AND RECREATIONAL
PURPOSES IN VARIOUS FORMS AND
PETS ARE FINDING THE STASH IS
THAT THEY SORT OF HAVE A CLASSIC
. UM, PRESENTATION. THEY’RE SORT
OF WALKING, FUNNY, DROOLING.
THEY CAN BE DRIBBLING URINE, BUT
THEY DEFINITELY LOOK OFF. BUT
GETTING BACK TO THE VAST AND
SUNDRY ITEMS PETS CAN GET INTO.
USUALLY WHEN FAMILIES ARE
GETTING TOGETHER. THERE’S LOTS
OF COOKING. LOTS OF HIGH FATTY
FOODS WERE NOT REALLY WATCHING
OUR CALORIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS
, AND SO AS A RESULT, OUR PETS
ARE ALSO GETTING SOME OF THAT
HIGH FAT FOOD. YEAH, BUT ALSO
NOT FOOD, BUT DOGS WILL MAKE IT
FOOD AS WELL AS GARLAND AND BETS
ARE SAYING THAT IF THEY INGEST
THAT THAT’S PRETTY MUCH A
PROMISE. THEY’RE GOING TO END UP
IN AN EMERGENCY RUN NEEDING
SURGERY. HOWEVER SINCE COVID
WE’VE GOT A SHORTAGE OF
VETERINARIANS, AND SO IT MIGHT
TAKE LONGER TO GET YOUR PET THE
SERVICES, THE EMERGENCY SERVICES
THEY NEED. SO CERTAINLY THIS
TIME OF YEAR PREVENTION.
ABSOLUTELY GUYS. THE BEST
MEDICINE. YEAH MAYBE BECAUSE MY
DOG DOESN’T GET INTO TOO MUCH. I
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THINGS LIKE
THAT. BUT A LOT OF GOOD STUFF
THAT HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE
DIDN’T KNOW. THANKS, PAULA. I
DEFINITELY DON’T WANT THAT VET
BILL EITHER, IF NO TENSILE OR
WHATEVER ELSE NORMALLY AS WE
BRING IN KIM ADAMS, IT’S
CRYOGENIC FREEZING. THAT’S MOST
DANGEROUS TO MR BIGGLESWORTH.
BUT IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE.
LOVE THAT. I KNEW YOU’D GOT
JASON. I JUST BEAUTIFUL OUT
THERE TONIGHT, KIM, BUT IT IS.
IT’S REALLY NICE OUT TONIGHT.

GUST FORECAST BECAUSE WE’LL GET
A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE HIGH
