An Astrid Sort of Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, friends! We're shuffling things up a bit this week. The post you were supposed to see today, that more or less being the final farewell to Christmas at our house, will instead be posted tomorrow. That means your usual Wednesday post with pup Astrid will instead be shared with you today. So, how about an Astrid sort of Tuesday?

Indeed, even after Christmas, if it's cold outside, Astrid is sometimes placed in that festive sweater.

She often has to look both ways to make sure no one is around to witness her embarrassing attire.

Warm wishes to all!

Tip of the Day

Today's winter tip is one that you often hear in the summer, but that also goes for the winter months, and that is to never leave your pup or kitty alone in the car. Just like the inside of a car can get fatally hot in the summer months, the inside of a car can get far too cold in the winter for a furbaby to remain inside. Should you need to run errands where your furbaby is not allowed, leave them home where it is warm. Another option, should your furbaby for some reason need to be along when you run errands, is to bring someone along who can sit with them in the warm car.

In this same line of thought, if your furbaby is in need of a car ride, prepare the car for this. Should a vet visit be in store in the winter months, for example, warm the car before taking your furbaby outside for a ride. As we all know, a cold car is an uncomfortable place to be. So, try to ensure that your furbaby does not have to feel this discomfort.
