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…
