TulsaPets Magazine November 2023

4 TulsaPets • November / December 2023 A s we approach the holidays, warm memories sustain us, and fresh goals beckon us into the new year. Your goals might involve learning about and connecting with animals in new ways. If you enjoyed Kim Doner’s entertaining Critter Collection in the September-October 2023 issue, you are in for a treat. We are happy to include Critter Collection Part II in this issue. Rescuing and fostering animals are important roles in our involvement with four-legged friends. Nancy Gallimore gives us a different view of rescued and fostered animals who are loved and respected for their individual personalities and distinctions and not just for being “rescued dogs.” And Dr. Tembra Gatlin relates the story of a very special foster dog and the veterinary professionals who are helping him live his best life. You can keep up to date with what’s going on in the animal scene in Tulsa. Learn about new accommodations at Tulsa International Airport and upcoming events and opportunities at the Tulsa SPCA. Don’t miss Anne Rener’s article about wearable technology such as tracker collars for your pets. So make some holiday memories, form some goals for the new year, and reflect on all the ways you can enjoy the animals in your life — now and in the future. Marilyn, with Fred and LeeRoy P.S. A huge shout-out of thanks to Andolini’s Worldwide, Angel’s Pet Funeral Home, Keo Asian Restaurants, and Dalesandro’s Italian Restaurant for their generosity in sponsoring ads that highlight some of the holiday needs of a few of our local rescue organizations: Tulsa SPCA, Humane Society of Tulsa, Bully for You, and Because of You Chihuahua Rescue!
