If you live anywhere near Michigan, you know it’s been cold this winter. And sometimes, February can be the coldest month. I’m glad to have my fur coat to keep me warm, but even with my fur coat, I still get cold. That’s why the Nice Lady doesn’t let me outside during the winter months. She says that everyone with pets must remember that even though cats and dogs have fur coats, they need to be brought in from the cold air for their safety and well being.
Speaking of February, Valentine’s Day is a special day always celebrated in this month. 
This is a feel good day for everyone. You can give valentine cards, candy or flowers to anyone you care about on Valentine’s Day or to someone who might be feeling sad or lonely and you want to make them feel special.
Let me share with you what I mean. Last year, on Last Valentine’s Day, the grocery manager at the Nice Lady’s favorite market told her that his friend of 15 years had been offered a new job. Happy that his friend found a job, he was sad to learn that he would have to move out of state for the new job. When the Nice Lady returned home from the market, she gave me a special “valentine” cat treat and told me about her friend at the market. While she was brushing my fur, she jumped up and said, “I should take the grocery manager something for Valentine’s Day!” She rushed to the candy store, picked up some chocolates and went to the market to surprise her friend with a Valentine greeting.
Offering him the chocolates, she told him how sad she would be if her friend the Farm Lady had to move away. She said she hoped the chocolates would make him feel better during this sad time. The grocery manager thanked her and said, “He loved chocolates and that he would share them with his friend.”
Valentine’s Day can be an opportunity to share good feelings with anyone, but also with someone in need of feeling good! Remember you can make someone feel good, even when it’s not Valentine’s Day!!
