Stocking stuffers for your pet

Does your dog get a Christmas stocking? Yeah, ours do, too. It’s fun to buy treats and toys for four-legged family members, especially ones that keep them busy throughout what in many households is a very busy day (you know, gift-opening, big meal, football, naps….). So what’s trending this year? Our friends at Pet Food Express gave us a few leads, and we sleuthed through Santa’s workshop for a few more.

Great dane rescue of northern California

These can be scary times for Great Danes. Colleen Leahy, who co-founded Great Dane Rescue of Northern California in the Sacramento area back in 1987, says it's a rare day that she doesn't hear from someone looking to re-home a Dane.
