The Columbia Basin Herald pictured some of them in the Dec. 26 edition, and here are some more, with comments from the owners who are grateful for their companionship. To see more pet photos, look at our conversation on Facebook by following us at Facebook.com/cbherald.

“This is Sweetie, keeping warm in her daisy blanket. She is impatiently waiting for her dinner,” said Tanya Kanoff of her furry friend. The folks here at the Herald totally get Sweetie’s vibe. We like our warm blankets and dinner too.
