Welcome to the December 2024 DogDays Calendar. This month Winter begins and cold weather rules in the Northern US. This means cold temperatures both days and nights. This is a great but challenging time to enjoy the outdoors with our furry friends and family. Dressing warm and protecting our canine family from severe weather can be a challenge. There are lots of Holiday festivities to celebrate this month. Let’s continue to make this end of year the best one yet!
