Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow -- but Not on Sunday!
Santa is scheduled to stop by the Washington Animal Rescue League on Sunday, so dogs (maybe a cat or two), kids, and even adults can deliver their Christmas lists in person. He reports that he will have no problem trekking in, even if the predicted wintery mix makes mush out of our city streets. After all, Santa resides in the North Pole and, I just happen to know that he has access to a Subaru! It may be, however, that some of the folks who might bring their dogs and kids to the event have a harder time making it across town. Be sure to check with the League Sunday morning to see if Santa can postpone his visit to another, perhaps dryer day.
The bitter cold wet weather predicted for this weekend is a reminder that it is DECEMBER after all -- even if the thermometer read 68 degrees yesterday. December, and the months that follow are COLD. Be sure to take cold weather precautions with your animal companions. Keep cats indoors. Walk dogs a reasonable amount of time -- don't leave them outside unattended. Put a coat on your dog if you want, but the main thing is to be aware of the temperature. If you are cold, your animal companion probably is, too!
