During cold days, move pets indoors

Just a reminder that most pets cannot tolerate the frigid temperatures we are experiencing currently. The sound of dogs barking, crying, yelping and howling during temperature drops of -20 C or below is disturbing, not to the ear, but to the hearts of those who cherish pets. While some may quite innocently believe that it is safe to leave pets outside thinking the dogs, especially, love the winter and cold, there are limits, even for these furry creatures.

So please be humane and show you care by offering shelter for pets during particularly frigid days, especially when there is a windchill factor. They will repay you a thousand-fold in returning your affection. Sometimes, putting up with a little extra pet hair in the home is a necessary, lifesaving sacrifice. Or at least provide an insulated dog house, to shelter your pet from the wind. A friendly reminder to pet owners who live busy lives and can't always remember each daily concern. We know you love them. Thanks!
