Ed, about “Don’t let the Dogs Out.” It is rather amusing to think that a Yorkie could be picked up by a hawk, maybe a puppy Yorkie, but not an adult Yorkie. Also, I sure would like to know what a duck hawk is? It is not in my bird books. On a serious note, please make sure that your cats and dogs have access to a dog house if they are left out during the winter. Yes, even the cats have to have houses and you can be fined for it if your neighbors report you for not providing shelter. Also your pets’ water bowls will freeze outside unless they have a heater especially designed for them.

I dunno about the dog house suggestion. I heard there’s a moose hawk out there big enough to pick up the whole house. —Ed. Note
