Ever feel like your pet is plotting to destroy your sanity every winter? Same. When it’s too cold to go out, my dog turns into a furry tornado and my cat starts auditioning for Cirque du Soleil at 2am. Here’s what’s actually helped: Indoor Olympics: Hallway fetch, hide-and-seek, or making my cat chase a feather wand like it owes her money. Bonus: I get my steps in, too. Brain Games: Puzzle toys, treat hunts, or teaching new tricks. My dog now high-fives for snacks. My cat? She ignores me, but at least she’s busy. Boundaries: I set up a cozy corner for them near my desk. They get their own space, I get fewer Zoom call interruptions. Alone Time: Yes, for them. Yes, for me. Everyone needs a break. Moral of the story: Keep them busy, keep your house intact. Winter survival is a team sport. #PetLife #WinterWithPets #PetCare #Pets
