and right now their idea of "cold" seems to be any location in the house that is more than about 3' from a radiator.

one of the windows. I keep asking the complex management to replace the window, but they haven't. The curtains actually move when it get windy. Arrgh! But at least it's warm inside & I get free heat included in the cost of rent.

I hope everybody & their furbabies stay nice & cozy!

The squirrels eat more from this feeder than the birds do.

Many of you have contacted me since last night about this case in Sprakers, NY (Montgomery County) where about 100 dogs are being left outside in the freezing cold with plastic barrels as shelter. I’ve reached out to state and local law enforcement on this and they tell me that the minimum standards of the law are being enforced. That’s not good enough. This is why the Governor needs to sign anti-puppy mill legislation (A.740A/S3753A) that I co-sponsored, and that was one of our priorities for NYS Animal Advocacy Day, to enable local governments to regulate puppy mills and pet dealers. If the state refuses to protect those who have no voice then our local governments should have the ability stop these puppy mills which keep our four-legged friends in such deplorable conditions. Call Gov. Cuomo TODAY at (518) 474-8390 and tell him to sign the puppy mill bill which is on his desk right now. And if he won’t sign it, I’ll be calling for a veto override of the puppy mill bill which passed the Legislature by a wide bi-partisan margin. Thank you all for continuing to keep me informed!

Puppy mills are bad enough... but those conditions are appalling!
