IMPORTANT MEETINGS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY

Dear Hollywood Residents:
Please take advantage of this opportunity to let the city of Hollywood know what matters to you as they work on their next Master Plan. Do we need an enclosed play area for dogs? More pickleball courts? More places to launch stand-up paddleboards? Equipment for children’s parks? or ???? Make your voice heard!

Community Meeting Schedule for Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Master Plan
Join us in the master planning process for the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts master Plan 2030. This process will be facilitated by Barth and Associates, our contractor working on the project. PRCA staff will be there to hear your ideas to answer any questions about the process.
We want your thoughts and feedback on our community direction. Each workshop will have a brief presentation on the process and time for community input. This is one of the first steps in the development of the plan. Each meeting will have the same format and are located at various times and locations across the city.

...but the rules don't say anything about the size of the animal, and as you can see from this picture, some people got really creative in order to avoid paying a fine.

5 Important Holiday Safety Tips

Food! Chocolate candy, chocolate/cocoa products and other foods like grapes, onions, raisins, and the artificial sweetener Xylitol can make your pet very sick. Keep these items out of “striking distance” of your dog and cat and NEVER place these goodies under the tree! Having a buffet spread for your friends and family? Secure the area so that your pets cannot have their own private celebration. And don’t forget about the trash can and garbage bags—a pet’s paradise, but a sure-fire way for him to get very sick!

Holiday Decorations. All of the traditional holiday plants, like poinsettias, can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Large branches and leaves from the plants can also become stuck in the intestinal tract of your pet. Place all foliage on high shelves or areas away from your dog or cat. In addition, make sure your tree is secured so that it can not topple over onto curious pets. If you add preservative to the tree’s water, place screening over the tree’s bowl so pets cannot drink it--the formula typically has small amounts of fertilizer in it. Got wreaths, garlands, glass ornaments and small bells? Hang these items well out of a paw's reach. Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments are especially dangerous to pets if they chew or swallow them.

Alcohol and Medications. No “high” times for pets! Keep the eggnog, brandy, wine, beer, and other “spirits” out of the reach of thirsty dogs and cats—that includes Grandma’s traditional rum cake! Also, remember that while a bottle of alcohol may be sealed and closed, the punch bowl on the buffet table looks like one very super cool and accessible “water bowl” to your dog or cat (so’s that unsupervised glass of Holiday Mead)! Got in-laws and numerous cousins staying over? Remind them to keep ALL of their prescription medicines locked up and out of the way of nosy pets—including the over-the-counter stuff.

Electrical cords and Wires. Keep them hidden, or route them through PVC pipe to ensure your pet doesn’t play with or chew them. Be especially mindful of phone chargers, ear buds, headphones and other miscellaneous wires/cords your guests may bring with them. Pets love to chew the ends of this stuff, so make sure that the cord to that new cell phone or tablet stays safe in the box!

ID Them! Most importantly, make sure your pet is wearing proper identification. Pets can easily escape through the front or back doors when guests come into your home. Remember that all dogs and cats (even “indoor cats”) within Broward County must be registered and wear the Broward County Rabies Registration tag on their collar. This is the best way to ensure that your pet is reunited with you if he or she becomes lost during this holiday season.

If you’re a dog owner, you want nothing more than for your dog or dogs to be in tip-top shape and perfect health. But you also know how hard it is to resist those big soft eyes when they peer up at you from under the table, begging for just the tiniest taste of whatever you’re...
