Yep...Ole' Man Winter will soon be upon us. Are you ready yet? Got those ear muffs and mittens handy? How about that warm fuzzy blanket to curl up with in front of that roaring fire place?
I only ask, because the odds are pretty good there are a lot of pooches out there without the benefit of even a decent dog house for the winter... let alone a fuzzy blanket to curl up with.
Which brings me to my Christmas wish for this year. Dog houses for all that need them. There are many people - maybe you even know one or two - that have a dog outside, and they really need a dog house, but just can't afford one for whatever reason.
My sense is, we can always argue the other 11 months of the year over whether or not someone should even have a pet they cannot afford to provide for...and that includes shelter. But this month, in the spirit of the Christmas season, let us just help those who for whatever reason, cannot help themselves...or their dogs. If you have the means to do so, help a neighbor, or a friend, or your local shelter. If you have an old Igloo style dog house that is no longer needed, donate it to one of the above mentioned entities. Or if you can afford it, maybe buy one for someones pet, and give Fido a Christmas to remember too!
If you don't know someone who needs one, you may donate one to your local shelter. If they are like me, they have a short list of people who have requested one, or who we know could use one, as a function of our daily travels at work. I can assure you, if you choose to donate one to our shelter, there are several needy families & pets that would be very grateful.
I am quite sure Santa will be very happy with you! I know the doggies will be too!
