Astrid was excited to take a walk through the park in the snow the other day.

Tip of the Day
Eventually we'll get around to conjuring up some brand new tips to share, but for now we're yet again doing some repeats from the past year or two. That being said, February is a busy month. At least, in terms of important messages it is. February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, National Pet Dental Health Month, and National Cat Health Month. The last February or two, we filled the month with tips on all of these topics. We've decided to do the same again this year, since the topics at hand are significant ones. So, we'll be repeating and revamping our February tips from last year. Brace yourself for a month all about health and wellness.
We'll start with spaying and neutering. As you all surely know, spaying and neutering your pets, as well as ferals outdoors, helps significantly reduce cat and dog overpopulation. This in turn reduces the number of homeless animals, the number of furbabies awaiting homes in shelters, and the number who are, sadly, euthanized due to lack of space in the shelter system. That being said, if possible, don't just stop at getting your kitty or pup spayed or neutered. If possible, consider assisting in or donating to trap-neuter-release (TNR) efforts, so that even those kitties who are most comfortable with an outdoor life can enjoy a life that does not involve contributing to pet overpopulation. All of us here certainly love animals, but all of us also certainly feel heartbroken when we remember that there are a great many cats and dogs without homes due to uncontrolled reproduction and overpopulation. So, have your pets spayed and neutered, and, if possible, do what you can to help in the efforts to spay and neuter feral colonies as well. Stay tuned tomorrow for some facts and tips on the health benefits of spaying and neutering your furbabies.

It's peemail, Astrid!
Great shots of Astrid. Cute drawing and excellent tips too.
Such a pretty scene...except for the ice!
We got a light snow here this morning too. Lori had never seen snow before (last Winter she was not old enough to go outside), so we were wondering what she would think about it. Sadly, since it was already melting, she just walked around the patches of it. So we will have to wait fer a couple inches to see what she does.
You mentioned Feb being a busy month. Well, of course it is. You have a month of things to do and Feb has the fewest days. ;)
I'm sure it's much safer to walk in the snow than on the ice, for both of you.
Snow-covered grass is way safer for both of you, Astrid and Mom L!
