At the very least it can educate us on how this works, and maybe even inspire us! Rich in life, rich in birds, yes…but a birder billionaire I am not. Shocking, I know.

The following is a great guest post from the folks at Pet Care Education! Even if your pet is not outdoors for extended periods of time, it’s very important that you provide your pet with the right shelter. This shelter should have an entrance that faces away from the wind, and be covered to protect against harsh weather conditions.
