Roy Kelley we keep our pets warm in the winter with Carnival Hill dog coats and use MUSH on their feet to protect from the winter salt and ice.

That's a very good reminder.  Sometimes folks forget the little bodies of critters aren't as likely to handle the cold outside as we imagine.

A great topic, Roy. As you know, animal causes are near and dear to my heart. People forget that their pets can really suffer when it's too cold or too hot.

Thanks for thinking of our four legged friends. I was out with Lucky today at the dog park. In spite of the 20 degree temps and wind, we stayed for an hour. Another hardy soul showed up with her two dogs. The dogs played and played and had a great time.
