Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, is a US holiday observed on the third Monday in January honoring the achievements of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister who advocated the use of a nonviolent means to an end racial segregation; he first came to national prominence during a bus boycott by African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. He founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 and led the 1963 March on Washington. The most influential of African American civil rights leaders during the 1960s, he was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations, facilities, and employment, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.
He was tragically assassinated on April 4, 1968, but we continue to remember his actions and fight for African American civil rights today and every day.

❄️ Cold weather can be just as dangerous for pets as extreme heat. ❄️
As temperatures drop, it’s important to take a few extra steps to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the colder months. Here are some cold-weather safety tips from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA):

🐾 Winter wellness matters
Cold temperatures can worsen conditions like arthritis. Annual wellness exams help ensure your pet is healthy and prepared for colder weather.

🐾 Know your pet’s limits
Cold tolerance varies based on coat type, body fat, activity level, and health. Shorten walks in very cold weather and watch closely for signs of discomfort.

🐾 Check before you start your car
Warm engines attract outdoor cats seeking heat. Always tap the hood, check underneath your car, and honk before starting to help prevent serious injury.

🐾 Bundle up when needed
Short-haired or cold-sensitive dogs may benefit from sweaters, coats, or properly fitted booties. Be sure outerwear is dry—wet clothing can make pets colder.

🐾 Be prepared for winter emergencies
Severe weather and power outages can happen. Keep an emergency kit ready with at least 5 days of food, water, and medications for your pet.
