This year the Village of Chatham has a display of Twinkling Trees in the Chatham Square. In memory of the pets of Chatham and surrounding towns who crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year Peaceful Tails has made a memorial tree. The trees will be lit on Friday at 6PM. There are extra ornaments in a box below the tree if you have a beloved pet that you lost this year and would like to add their name to the tree. This time of year can bring up many strong emotions about the ones we have lost who used to share the holidays with us. All of the families suffering losses this year are in our thoughts.

I recently met a lovely veterinary technician, Christina Cagle, who has a mobile business providing tech services to pets in our area. If any of you have dogs or kitties who need services such as nail trims, a**l gland expression, ear cleaning, hygiene/sanitary shaving, she travels to homes to provide these services to allow pets a less stressful experience.
