You may be understandably focused on your own New Year’s Eve celebration and plans, or resolutions, for the new year. But it will also be a new year for your pets. Here, Annie, London and Pete are dressed in their holiday vests and collars. Although the Chinese zodiac calendar identifies 2018 as a “year of the dog” and the new year – 2019 – as a “year of the pig”, this could be a big year for your dog. This could be the year your dog gets trained to play games or be more obedient – options laid out in the Pet Smarts column. See page 7. JANE BOWERS PHOTO
