<b>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, we've almost made it through another week and that brings us just
a little closer to December, and the end of the semester and
Christmas. I'm not ready! How do these people do it that already have
their shopping done, (or even an idea of what they want to shop for),
and already have their cards ready to mail? Even if they told me their
secret, I am just not wired that way. I'll still be rushing around at
the last minute trying to get last minute gifts, etc. <br>
<br>
I'm starting to see lots of Christmas decorations and lights around in
town, in stores and at houses. Mike Mooney was faithfully decorating
all the lamp posts the other day when I went through town to make Main
Street look festive. I believe the annual Christmas Bazaar is this
weekend at the Choctaw Center on Centerpoint Road and don't forget
about Candlelighting this Sunday. <br>
<br>
As the weather takes a decidedly colder turn, don't forget to bring
your outside pets in, or at least provide them with warm bedding and
shelter. You wouldn't like to sleep outside in the cold and rain would
you? Even with a fur coat, it wouldn't be any fun at all. It's best
to provide dogs with a house, (preferably yours), but one of their own
will do. Put a blanket or some cedar chips or straw, (not hay which
can promote mange and other problems when it gets wet) in for warmth.
Cats need a warm bed too, as they can really get into trouble in the
cold weather when they're searching for a warm spot and they think
they've found one in your car motor. Providing them with their own
snug spot can save much heartache later on. And when it gets really
cold, be sure and break the ice on their water. It's horrible to be
thirsty and not be able to get a drink because you can't break the ice
on top. Please don't forget your furry friends. They depend on you
the way a child would, and some of them behave better! And if you're
really concerned about animals, come to the PAWS meeting this evening
at 7:00 at the Latimer County Public Library. We'd be glad to have you
there.<br>
