Welcome to Bay Woof, December 2023

Wagging All the Way!

As we flip to the last page of the calendar, December stands beautifully lit with holiday lights, love, and of course, dogs. 

This month we humans are rounding the corner, heading into the last stretch of days before the clean slate of 2024. Dogs, on the other hand, don’t concern themselves with how we mark time (they’re so in-the-now, they don’t even need a watch). They do, however, need you. Your companionship, love, and care sustains them, just as they sustain us.  

As the drum beat of consumerism builds to a fever pitch this month, let Bay Woof be a cozy blanket that holds you both. Taking respite in what’s truly important - the open hearts we feel when we spend time with our dogs - can soothe even the most stressed-out human.

So grab a break from the seasonal swirl and enjoy this month’s offerings, including holiday survival tips, training guidance, veterinary news, rescue stories,  and more from our Bay Area dog community and beyond.

However you choose to celebrate the winter season (or not), may the waning days of 2023 bring you peace, joy, and the love of a very good dog. See you in 2024!

Merrily yours,
