To help prevent cold weather dangers from affecting your pet’s health, please read the following: Repeatedly coming out of the cold into the dry heat of your home can cause itchy, flaking skin. Keep your home humidified and towel dry your pet as soon as he comes inside, paying special attention to his feet and in-between the toes. Remove any snow balls from between his foot pads.

We’ve abandoned our culture. We’ve abandoned our ancient ways. Not just ‘aboriginal people’ but ALL people. The only ones who haven’t are the ones who are still untouched, tucked into a tiny piece of...

I have two "chips" but some day I would like to open a cat rescue, there are so many cats and kittens suffering without medical attention, shelter and even food.
