Damn it, Santa, not a blizzard!

Morning to all.  Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays (and hope you still are if they're still going on for you).

For me, the last two days have consisted of hardcore family get-togethers and eating an abundance of food.  Way too much food.  Italians don't play. 

If you are ever invited to an italian family's house for dinner, pace yourself.  Never, ever, clean your plate quickly or you will be subject to berating and peer pressure to have more.  Even though I'm italian, I do often overlook this rule and still for whatever reason think I'll get out unscathed.  The very definition of insanity.  Too much food. 

Anyhow, if you've been listening to the weather reports in the NYC area, you'll know that we are theoretically due to get bombarded with a snow storm.  Generally, I take weather people's predictions with a grain of salt, but they are barking very hard about this one.

So, with the impending weather, I found a safe guard list to protect your pets from the nasty weather.  You can check out the article HERE.

Stay warm and stay safe.

TTYS,

Hot dogs? Not today...

The weather outside is frightful.  Really, it is.  I know from the last two days I'm starting to sound like some sort of demented, blog writing weather person off their meds, but there is a method to my madness.

If we as people are cold, most likely your pup is, too.  I know I might've touched on some cold prevention tips in a prior blog, but this article: CLICK TO VIEW , will give some further insights on how to protect your dogs from the very snippy, Jack Frost.

Anyhow, keep warm, be well, and don't forget to drink your cocoa.

Damn you, Jack Frost!

Hello everyone.  Welcome to Monday.

The long weekend is over.  The turkey is gone.  The cranberries are dried up.  Its cold out.  Very cold.

It seems like yesterday it was summer out, but now Jack Frost is baring his gruesome, icy fangs.  Its time to put away the shorts and tee shirts and pull out the itchy sweaters and thick winter coats.

If you're paying attention at all, you're picking up I'm not a big fan of winter.  Truth is, every year around this time I say to myself that I've had enough and that I wouldn't be here this time next year.  Every year, I'm still here.

So, since I'm once again subjecting myself to the frigid weather, I think we should talk about how our pets are also affected by the elements and how to protect them.  Ready?  Keep them inside.  Just kidding...sort of.

I happened to find an interesting and informative article (from the ASPCA) that gives an overview of some preventative measures you can apply toward your dogs to keep them warm and protect them.

Go to: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet-care-tips/cold-weather-tips.html , I think its definitely worth a look. 

You love your dog.  Your dog loves you.  Keep your best friend warm and safe.  They'd do the same for you.
