Cold Weather Tips

Brrrr—it's cold outside!  The following guidelines will help you protect your companion animals when the mercury dips. Source: ASPCA 2014

1. Keep your cat inside. Outdoors, felines can freeze, become lost or be stolen, injured or killed. Cats who are allowed to stray are exposed to infectious diseases, including rabies, from other cats, dogs and wildlife. 
    
2. During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. When the motor is started, the cat can be injured or killed by the fan belt. If there are outdoor cats in your area, bang loudly on the car hood before starting the engine to give the cat a chance to escape. 
    
3. Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm, dogs can easily become lost. Make sure your dog always wears ID tags. 
    
4. Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or encrusted winter wear.

Meet The Pomeranian

The Pomeranian is an, animated companion with an extroverted personality. This compact little dog is an active toy breed with an alert character and fox-like expression. Today, the Pomeranian is a popular companion dog and competitive show dog. They can come in all colors, patterns, and variations although orange and red are the most popular. These tiny dogs are extremely loyal to their owners, making them great watchdogs, playmates, and cuddly companions.  Their puffy, “pom-pom” coat makes them appear larger than the 3 to 7 pounds they normally weigh, and their foxlike face exudes confidence.

Pomeranians are very intelligent dogs that love to please. Because of their outgoing temperaments, they can be very good family dogs with the right training. Due to their small size they don't require much exercise, but are an energetic breed that needs attention from their people frequently. They possess a thick double coat, which needs to be brushed on a regular basis.

Consider adopting your "forever friend" from an animal shelter.  You will find many pure breeds in shelters. That is where we found our little man.

M'Gee has earned his Angel Wings

We are sad that we needed to say goodbye to our little man last night.  M'Gee was adopted from St. Huberts 13 years ago.  He brought our family much love and happiness.  He certainly will be missed. We are grateful to Lap of Love and Dr. Sandra Simko who made the evening trip to our home.  Her kindness and compassion gave M'Gee much comfort and leaves us with only joy and loving memories of our dear family member.
