Hints From Heloise: Pets on the inside - very electric toothbrush

Dear Reader: Today's voice is about the treatment of family pets: "Dear Heloise: I have noticed too many people leaving their dogs or cats outside in the past winter, at cold temperatures.
I'm not talking about chow or husky.
Dogs bred for cold weather
But there are short coats or small dogs.
Dog houses offer little protection against the cold unless heated.
Whether it's a hot summer or a cold winter night, our pets need to stay at home in any extreme weather conditions.
Dogs or cats are family members and need to be treated like this. ”Anita S. Milford, Connecticut.
