It never hurts to repeat a safety message, especially when it pertains to dangers to our pets.
You don’t necessarily think about carbon monoxide, the deadly odorless gas that can come from a malfunctioning space heater, but it can kill everyone in your house.
A year ago I wrote about the serious need for a CO monitor in your house or apartment – you should have one right along with a smoke detector.
If you didn’t read this before, or don’t remember it, here’s the chance to refresh your memory and also tell at least three other people to get a CO monitor.
Then they will tell three other people and a community effort at passing along the warning may ensure that no human or pet lives will be tragically lost.

Tracie began her fascination with dogs and cats by turning her eye as a former investigative reporter on every aspect of living with them, resulting in her encyclopedic resources THE DOG BIBLE: Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know and then the THE CAT BIBLE: Everything Your Cat Expects You to Know. Before long, Tracie was established as a leading pet wellness advocate as her all-encompassing books covered everything from medical issues to behavior, nutrition and environmental enrichment.
Tracie began her career as a radio personality with a live show – DOG TALK® (and Kitties, Too!) – on the local NPR station in the Hamptons, Peconic Public Broadcasting (WPPB) from Southampton, New York (the show is now also carried on the NPR station Robinhood Radio in Connecticut and the Berkshires).
DOG TALK® won a Gracie® Award (the radio equivalent of an Oscar) in 2010 as the “Best entertainment and information program on local public radio” and continues weekly after more than 450 continuous shows and 9 years on the air. Tracie’s live weekly call-in show CAT CHAT® was on SiriusXM satellite radio for seven years until the Martha Stewart channel was canceled in 2013.
Tracie lives in Vermont where the Radio Pet Lady Network studio is based, on 13 acres well-used by her all-girl pack – two lovely, lively Weimaraners, Maisie and Wanda, and a Collie-mix, Jazzy.
