Holiday Pampering For Man’s Best Friend

- By Tammy Johnston
This past Saturday, Animal Care sponsored a fun-filled holiday event for God’s precious animals and their loving owners.
The event had toys, bowls and homemade dog treats that the owners could buy as stocking stuffers for their furry friends for Christmas.
The highlight of the event was the picture with Santa. Dogs came dressed in their favorite holiday fashions from red velvet outfits to bows and ribbons; each animal was ready to sit on Santa’s lap. After getting their picture taken, their owners could sit at the craft table and create a picture frame as a gift to give to a loved one of their animal sitting with Santa.

I danced up to David Emory and thanked him, “So many other firefighters deserve this award more than me. I felt honored and proud that I was chosen to have received this award.”
