Anyone know someone local who might want to put up a tree for their kids but doesn't have a stand or ornaments? We have a box of Christmas lights (white lights, green chords), with an emerald green tree skirt with ornaments that are sort of a monochromatic theme of silver, clear frosted, and the colored ones are a purple-tan (not a great description but very pretty in person) and are glass. Also have a tree stand (note: stand is for a real tree, not a fake one - just wanted to be clear as it's not interchangeable - but if they can get a fake tree, they don't have to take the stand by any means). I took the pic in my basement so the colors are muted in the pics but beautiful.

FOR SALE $30 each
(New in Box Qty 3 Avail as of 12/1)
*priced to sell*
Small Pet Playpen. Tan and brown with black mesh and black easily washable bottom. Front door opening with zipper closure, as well as full top access via top zipper. These are lightweight. They easily folds for storage and pop back out for expansion. Great for hotel stays with kittens or toy breeds, slow introductions, help acclimate new cats to their surroundings. Personally, I used these in show hotels when I showed Persians and always with kittens. I also used these for layovers when flying cats or dogs to different states for clients.
$ 30 each (I have 3 available that are new and in box)

I also have (2) used ones available at $10 each (same exact brand/color)

Dog peeps- Was hoping it was big enough for the younger pups in our puppy program but it’s smaller than I realized. Great for young pups being reared or toy breeds, but too small for our daycare pups. Never been used with the actual dogs, sitting in stirage since the day i picked it up.

Little Tikes easy store slide and tunnel. See screen shot of product details for measurements. Bought on marketplace this past weekend but when picking it up I realized it is too small for my needs. I have included screen shots of the specs and dimensions I found on targets site so anyone interested can see the size. It’s for ages 1-3. Was used indoors only person I bought it from and is in excellent condition.

❄️ EXTREME COLD ALERT FOR PET OWNERS ❄️
With temperatures dipping into the single digits, Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital is urging pet owners to take extra precautions to keep dogs and cats safe.

Cold weather can cause:
• Hypothermia
• Frostbite (especially ears, paws, and tails)
• Cracked paw pads
• Danger from ice melt chemicals

Port City’s Tips to Keep Pets Safe:
✔ Keep walks short, limit outdoor time for all pets
✔ Protect paws with booties or pet-safe balm
✔ Wipe paws after walks to remove ice melt salt
✔ Never leave pets in cars, they hold cold like a refrigerator
✔ Provide extra blankets and warm bedding at home
✔ Senior pets, small breeds, and pets with medical conditions are at higher risk

If you notice shivering, pale or cold extremities, lethargy, or difficulty walking, seek veterinary care immediately.

Stay warm, stay safe, and keep your pets close this week. ❤️🐾

🥶 When is it TOO COLD for your dog to be outside?
With temperatures dropping into the low single digits, even cold-tolerant breeds can be at risk.

General rule of thumb:
• 32°F — risk begins for small dogs, seniors, and short-haired breeds
• 20°F — all dogs can be affected by hypothermia and frostbite
• 10°F and below — danger zone for every dog

Cold Weather Red Flags:
🐾 Shivering
🐾 Whining or refusing to walk
🐾 Lifting paws off the ground
🐾 Pale or bright red gums or skin

Quick action can prevent serious complications. Contact us with any questions you have! Our team is here to help!

Stay safe and check on your pets during this cold snap!
