Holiday Sanity

My kids are calling this “The Year the Remodel Stole Christmas!”
We are having a bit of work done at our house, and as always seems to happen, it has snowballed.
Our poor cats and dog have been confined to the girls’ bedrooms for many days now, and I am trying to keep them as “stress free” as possible! The holidays are stressful enough for pets and this has definitely added to the chaos. I’m using “happy kitty spray” (Feliway) and “happy doggy spray” (Adaptil) in their respective rooms to try to help them cope along with their favorite bedding toys and treats. So far, everyone seems to be coping well.
