How Christmas Friendly Are Retailers?

Millions upon millions in our nation deeply value the great truths of Christmas and the holiday’s inspiring place in American life and culture. We hope you will take a moment to “Stand for Christmas” by sharing feedback about your Christmas shopping experiences.

Focus on the Family is asking YOU to decide which retailers are “Christmas-friendly.” They want your patronage and your gift-shopping dollars, but do they openly recognize Christmas?

11/25 Bible Verse

Pam’s Pals – Meet Chico!

Chico

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 Today’s Pam’s Pal is a little guy named Chico who is available for adoption at the Animal Humane Society’s Golden Valley site. This two-year old dog is a black, short coat Chihuahua is has a great disposition, enjoys being around people and loves being in the car.  Chico is nervous around children and would do best in an adult household or oen with older children but otherwise, Chico is very confident with a big personality. He appears to be house-broken and enjoys walks outside.

 

This little guy is spunky and would likely benefit from socialization with other animals on a regular basis, especially with our Small Dog Playgroups.  Animal Humane Society Humane Society offers a number of playgroups and socialization opportunities for your pet.  Playgroups are offered at our Golden Valley location.  Click here for our schedules.

Small Dog Playgroup is a mixed-age group for dogs that are 20 lbs. and under. This group can be fairly rowdy. We have staff dogs help keep things under control. If your dog is very barky, we will ask you to have your dog wear a well-fitted Gentle Leader during playgroup to reduce the arousal level—which reduces barking. If your dog barks excessively, we need you to work with us to reduce the barking to provide a pleasant playgroup environment for our pets and their owners.

As of today, anyone aged 6 months through 24 years, both those who are healthy and those with underlying health conditions, are invited to come for vaccination at one of the clinics. People aged 25 though 64 are eligible for a shot if they have chronic medical conditions.

The other target groups are pregnant women and people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months. For clinic locations, hours and more info go to www.fairview.org/flu.
