Its going to be uber cold out around here...about 13. Not as cold as a few weeks ago, but frigid enough. The cold isn't good for animals, especially us smaller pampered ones. I should know! We can get chilled a lot faster. If there is snow and ice where you live, be sure to check the paws of your pet if they've been outside. No matter how big or small they are. Animals can get frostbite too!
If you have an outside pet, make sure they have plenty of straw or other bedding material that will help reflect their own body heat! Thankfully, its pretty warm here this evening at Noah's Ark. In fact, the staff around here kind of laughs because they say I rarely leave my cushy bed. Be honest....Would you if you had a choice???!!!
Hey, did you check out the big storm moving across Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina? Some of the humans here at Noah's Ark were watching it today on radar. Way cool!
BTW, if the sky is clear where you live tonight, you'll get to see a full moon! Native Americans have long called the January full moon the "Bear Moon." I'll try to take a peek later. And speaking of bears, have you heard about Lily? She is a black bear living in Northern Minnesota near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Some really smart people who help bear conservation put a webcam just outside her den. Tens of thousands of new fans, including me, from all over the world have been tuning in to watch her while she's in hibernation.
Lily has been pretty active though recently. You know why? She had a baby cub just last weekend! If you want to catch the show, click to Lily's Den Cam. The cub is about the size of a stick of butter. Lily is wrapped around it keeping it warm. The temperature has been below zero up there a lot. If you turn on your sound, there is a microphone on the "den cam" so you can hear Lily scratching, and the cub nursing and crying out. Don't be surprised if you see Lily's back. She is sleeping a lot more now. I sooooooooooo get that!
Yawwwwnnnnnnnnn ..... okay, off to get another biscuit and grab another nap.
