Hi, Ed, I call every year to remind your readers that the temperatures are growing cold again. If you have outside pets, which is never recommended, they must have protective covering, a place to get out of the wind, rain and snow. You have to give them proper protection, a doghouse and an electric water bowl so that their water does not freeze. Otherwise you are breaking the law. This includes cats, too; they must have some kind of shelter to get out of the elements. You bought or adopted them. Take care of them.

In the Doghouse

Plus it’s fun to build a dog house. One more way to one-up the neighbors. Go for a solar-powered electric dish and a Canadian rocker doggie porch swing to really make a statement.—Ed. Note
