A Keepsake and a Good Deed

Santa Claus is coming to town — to the 13 Mile Road PetSmart, to be specific.

Bring your four-legged baby to the store, where you can have Fido or Fluffy's picture taken with the Jolly Old Elf. The cost is $15, and $5 of the cost will benefit the Michigan Humane Society. So you'll get a nice keepsake — in a holiday photo frame — and do some good all at once.

Make sure your pet is on a leash or in a carrier, and that he is up-to-date on vaccinations. And, please, don't earn yourself a lump of coal by bringing your pet if he or she doesn't like other animals or strangers.
