March Merch Madness

By Melanie Carden

March in the Northeast can be a bit of a mish-mash—a little winter weather with the occasional glimpse of spring. Your pets still need a hat and coat and some toys to keep cabin fever at bay. However, it’s also time for the basketball frenzy of March Madness, so grab some snacks and settle in with your four-legged friend for game time.
