The dreaded "polar vortex" is covering us. Run! Hide!

Does the hype drive you crazy too? It's cold and we deal with it.

One important tip during any cold weather snap is to protect your pets. Always bring them inside during cold days. Yes, even if they are outside dogs.

Since dogs are domesticated pets, they are not equipped for the bitter cold. We bred that out of them, so they are not like wolves and coyotes.

Your pet is part of your family, so keep them toasty warm too.
