Protect Your Pet from Harsh Winter Weather
As a winter storm hits the east coast, more and more people are left wondering how to protect their precious pets from the snow, ice, sleet and cold weather. Here are some pet-friendly tips from the Red Cross and the Humane Society of the United States. Bring your pets inside a sheltered area during cold weather, even if they are normally outdoor pets. Make sure they have access to non-frozen drinking water. A heated dog bowl can prevent this from happening.
Snow Safety for Kids
If your kids have cabin fever or a snow day off from school, you may be eager to send them outside to play. While snow can be an exciting element, filled with possibilities, it can also be filled with danger when not treated with respect. Help your kids to understand the potential dangers and keep them safe while they enjoy a winter day.
Snow Games for Kids
Let it snow. It’s a romantic thought, but the cabin fever that snowing sometimes creates is enough to make any mom feel a little frosty. Planning some games in the snow turns the confining blanket outside into a welcoming playground of fun. Although the snow can bring hours of recreation, it can also bring certain risks. Encourage kids to follow safe practices and run off some extra energy, instead of simmering inside and just waiting to blow.
