There is nothing like finding a comfortable rug, just in the right position, and right time time of day to catch a few warm sun rays. Milo from Tega Cay is practicing for the warm lazy summer days on the Lake Wylie.
So who’s motto is: “Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night will keep me from
my appointed rounds.”
Is it:
The answer is “C” both A & B!
Close your window Michelle and stay warm!

What does “McKemey Strong” mean to you? Here’s what it means to me:
I sit by and watch the McKemey family and close friends. They are so visible. They are so inspiring. They are family to us. They are us. They are McKemey Strong!!!
Every morning, I go to the YMCA, faithfully working hard to maintain physical fitness so I can live a long healthy life for my two small boys. I used to see Karin there most every day. I admire her faithfulness and dedication. I never realized, watching her perusing her goals, like me, that she and her family would be the focal point of my family’s prayer time. I am inspired by her strength. We wish I were McKemey Strong!!!
I was curious if the America Kennel Club had updated their popular dog breed registration statics for 2008. Unfortunately the AKC has not yet published an update. But after researching the popular dog breed trends over the years there have not been many significant changes over the last decade.
Below is the national average top ten lists with a compare over the last decade.
Labrador retrievers have stayed number 1 over the last decade including the Charlotte Metro area and Fort Mill, SC.
There are approximately two breeds that have had significant movement on the top ten lists over the last ten years.
Boxers have inched their way up the top ten list and stayed in the middle of the chart for the last 5 years.
Bulldogs made a significant leap to the top ten list in the last couple years.
How does the Charlotte Metro area including Fort Mill and Tega Cay SC differ from the nation top ten most popular dog breed List?
There are two breeds that are on the Charlotte top ten list that are not on the national list. They are Read the rest…

These are our two family pets. One is big and gentle, the other is smaller and fearless. One thing is consistent, they are family members and truly bring comfort, security and companionship to our boys and our home.
This is a picture of our gentle giant. His name is Bay. He was taking an opportunity to comfort our son when he was sick in bed. As usual, Bay has a sincere ability to comfort those in need. So we called him Dr. Bay.
Dr Bay has a happy home in Tega Cay, SC
Winter freezing weather is not a friend to our pets. Fortunately we in the the Fort Mil Tega Cay SC area don’t experience harsh winter weather conditions but we do get our share of below freezing nights and a few below freezing dayss. So what should you do to prepare your pet for winter weather?
The HSUS is offering the following suggestions to help keep all pets safe through the cold winter months.
* Don’t leave pets outdoors when the temperature drops below freezing. Dogs need outdoor exercise but take care not to keep them out for lengthy periods during very cold weather. Short-coated dogs may feel more comfortable wearing a sweater during walks. Dogs and cats are safer indoors in all sorts of weather. Animals should never be left outdoors unattended as they risk being stolen or otherwise being harmed.
Signs of hypothermia include: weak pulse, dilated pupils, decreased heart rate, extreme shivering, pale or blue mucous membranes, body temperature below 95 degrees, stupor and unconsciousness. Consequences of extreme hypothermia may include neurological problems including coma, heart problems and kidney failure. Check with your veterinarian for more information.
* Wind-chill can threaten a pet’s life, no matter what the temperature. Outdoor dogs must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his/her body heat. The floor should be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw. Read the rest…
