'tis the season to humiliate our beloved pets. Just got this press release from the NW PA Humane Society...time to dig out the reindeer ears for the cat, tie a big red bow on the guinea pig and sew some jingle bells to the dog's collar.

Have your pet’s picture taken with Santa at the Humane Society of NWPA! Mom, Dad and the kids are welcome to join in the photo and the fun. All pets are welcome.
