Reminder--when the weather starts to change this time of year and temperatures drop to near freezing overnight and don't climb back up much higher during the day, pets feel it just like we humans do. Nobody likes a chilly, damp, rainy day. Not even dogs and cats. So remember that pet you may have outside and bring them in when it's lousy out there. Granted, it's only fall and we aren't quite to the "Holy wow it's cold out here" time yet overnight, but just something to be mindful of. After all-it's November already!

Who doesn't like blankets and pillows and a nice place to lounge around in on days like this? I've always been one that doesn't much like leaving the house when it's cold and damp outside. That's one of the things I love the most about West Texas--is that these days are so few and far between it's really enjoyable to live here.
