I have been working on the Pet Loss page and invite you to take a look and let me know what you think. I have information on the grieving process as well as some pet loss support groups. Of course “The Rainbow Bridge” is there as well.

Keeping some wipes or a towel by the entry door you go in and out with your pet will allow you to wipe their feet off as they come back in the house.

We have had a very mild winter with long periods above freezing. If your normally non-itchy in the winter pet is itching I thing we can have more than dry skin happening and they may need to start back on their allergy medications.
