How to Keep Your Dog Healthy and Safe in Cold, Snowy Weather by Lorrie Davids⁽⁶³⁷⁾ We tend to think because Fido has a fur coat, he is ready for the fiercest storm and can handle frigid temps and snow with no extra care. We see snow dogs in blizzard conditions on television and think our pups can handle anything, never knowing what care is given behind the camera. The truth is your dog has the same needs as people when the mercury drops. Here are a few ways to make sure your pup stays healthy, happy and safe this winter. Yes, God gave your dog a fur coat and some breeds tolerate cold temperatures better than others (Malamutes and Huskies, for instance), but when the weather turns cold that coat may not be enough. Short-haired breeds may not tolerate cold temps... (read the rest of what Lorrie Davids wrote.)		Ours for a Time and a Season, Stormy Blue by Marijo Phelps⁽¹⁰⁾ Our beautiful blue eyed boy quit eating a couple days ago. this has happened before and usually the expulsion of a nasty hair ball fixes him right up and life goes on. This time, however, it was followed by his meowing and going to the water bowl, sticking his head inside and then not drinking more that a few sips. He was not going to the litter to either.

A Few Reciprocal Quotes For Man's Best Friend by Joel Hendon⁽⁹⁰⁾ Some people don't like dogs. I can't imagine that. I even love mean dogs...far less than a good one but nevertheless, I just know that the mean one was raised and/or trained wrong. I've always said they are a perfect example of what we should be and I think God gave them to us to teach us that. Anyway, here are some quotes a friend sent me and some express my feelings also. " The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. " - Anonymous " There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. " - Ben Williams " A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than they love themselves. " - Josh Billings " The average dog... (read the rest of what Joel Hendon wrote.)
