those that go above and be- yond to help these Ani- mals!!!!!!! So Many Pets are pur-


chased or adopted at Christ- mas and are returned or abandoned after the excite- ment is over and the reality of taking care of them sets in so Please Consider the life with your new family member after before the Big Day!!!!!!! I hope everyone has


enough hay as there is a shortage again this year!! Climate Change has struck again, but there are alternatives that can be fed. Check with your vet and feed store to see what is available. Merry Christmas!!
