Efren Martinez: Too cold to let for dogs, cats stay outside
Friends, it’s deadly cold outside. If you have a four-legged family member who lives in your backyard, please bring them in when the temperatures drops below 40 degrees. If possible, follow my lead by creating shelter boxes for feral cats in your neighborhood and please remember our wild birds, too. Making sure your wild-bird feeder is full every day during the winter will ensure that our feathered friends have a meal during the cold winter months.
Keep the homeless in your prayers, always be kind to animals and remember to check on the elderly in you area to make sure they too are keeping warm this winter.
