Rehab veterinarian Dr. Kelly Fishman says this is her busiest time of year due to injuries related to cold, snow and ice.

She also explains that more often than you might think a dog may be pain, and you may not immediately know it. 

Sandy De Lisle is the Head of Development and Community Engagement at Orphans of the Storm in Riverwoods. She announces this important shelter needing a new building as the antiquated existing structure is crumbling.  On February 7, 10:30 am at Hathorn Mall, Steve will be at Puppy Paws and Story Time. Sandy and Steve will be reading his new children’s book, Ask the Dog to puppies and children. Steve will also sign copies of the book. On April 10, he will be hosting Whiskers and Wishes at the Marriott Lincolnshire, their most important fundraiser. And Sandy also happens to be a screenwriter and producer of a film called You’re Out, where I play an animal loving Barney Fife.
