These are often the members of our family that greet us first in the morning and when we come home for the day. They pick us up when we feel down and provide us company and someone to care for when we need it most. THE “HANDMADE” Outfit your canine with the outwear they will need to brave your climate. This could be handmade sweaters, vests or thermal jackets — even little booties to protect paws from cold, sharp ice. New toys are always a winner for keeping your pup entertained. Check in with your local pet shop to choose toys that are the appropriate size and material for your dog’s age and (perhaps destructive) nature. New bedding is also sure to please your pup. Add a handmade touch by placing extra padding in their bed for maximum comfort. SURE TO PLEASE Consider upgrading your cat’s pet carrier. Carriers that are made of soft nylon frequently have 360- degree mesh siding, allowing your cat to see out of all sides. This helps keep them calm when traveling to high-stress locations, including the vet. If your cat’s collar is looking a little too loved, check out the most modern styles and prints, including those made of reflective material and “anti-stink” material. That’s right, anti-stink. Check it out. CAGED CREATURES Don’t forget to spread the love to your caged creatures, including hamsters, reptiles, birds or fish. New toys or accessories are sure to delight any bird or hamster and fish like to be stimulated by new tank decor. Don’t forget to pamper your reptile friends with new treats or an upgraded warming lamp. IF YOU’RE PREPARED TO SPLURGE We’re not talking about splurging in terms of money, rather in terms of your heart. There are thousands of animals that don’t have owners to dote on them. Contact local shelters and see what they need. Towels, treats and toys are often always needed. Or give your time! Shelters are always looking for volunteers to clean kennels, take dogs for walks and give the animals baths. If you are prepared and have given considerable thought to the commitment a pet requires, consider adopting a pet and give them the best gift of all: their forever home. 24 • HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS 2017 • WWW.DAILYASTORIAN.COM s is Coming to Tow w a P a t n n!
