Apparently Libby hired her friend to start snow removal last night… and he actually DID. 😂❄️
This little guy was out there digging like, “Don’t worry humans, I’ll handle the night shift.”

✨🎉 Today is Libby’s 4th Birthday! 🎉✨
As much as we wanted her home to celebrate, Mother Nature had other plans and dumped snow right on our trap site. We’ll be working hard to clear it and get everything reset as soon as possible.
But have no fear — Libby still made a quick appearance on camera so her mom could see her on her special day. 💛
Please send positive vibes that we can safely reach the trap, get it cleared, and keep pushing to bring Libby home for the holidays.

Helpful Holiday Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe

RELYING ON A PET SITTER FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
Here are a few important safety practices every pet owner should know:

🔒 Controlled Potty Breaks
Pets may behave differently for a new caregiver. Always ask your sitter to let your pet outside only in a fully fenced yard or while secured on a leash. Even confident pets can startle or bolt in unfamiliar situations.

🪪 Proper Identification Saves Lives
A secure, well-fitted collar with ID tags is one of the fastest ways to reunite a lost pet with their family. Consider adding a temporary tag that includes the sitter’s phone number in case your pet slips away while in their care.

📍 Keep Microchip Information Updated
A microchip is only effective if the information is correct. Take a moment before the holidays to verify your contact information in the microchip registry.

🦺 Escape-Resistant Gear Matters
Many professionals recommend using a martingale collar along with a harness. This combination reduces the chance of your pet slipping out when they’re nervous, excited, or unsure of their surroundings.

🎄 Why This All Matters
Holidays bring routine changes, unfamiliar people, and new environments—all of which increase the risk of pets getting lost. Understanding and preparing for these risks helps keep your pet safe during a busy season.

Your pet is depending on you to make safe, informed choices!
