Frigid temperatures will arrive this weekend. ❄️ On Saturday, windchills could be in the single digits, and there is a slight chance of a wintry mix. Now is the time to prepare outdoor pets for the extremely cold weather.

BRING THEM INSIDE: While it is the best practice to bring all pets inside, if they have to be outside, make sure they have the proper protections from the bitter cold. Huskies can tolerate winter conditions well because their thick double coats provide insulation for cold climates. Pit mixes, with thin coats and bare underbellies, shiver easily and need to be indoors or at the least provided insulated shelter. Puppies and elderly, frail or sick dogs are especially vulnerable to winter weather, and need extra protection.

PROVIDE SHELTER: Access to an insulated doghouse, garage or shed when temperatures drop below 45 degrees helps keep your dog warm. Dogs accustomed to indoor living or temperate climates should not be left outside in freezing temperatures. Make the shelter accessible. You may not be at home when temperatures drop below freezing.

INSULATE SHELTER: A plastic or wood doghouse can help protect them from the wind, but it doesn't help keep them warm. You need to insulate any outdoor shelter with straw bedding - not hay. If you are insulating a dog house with straw, below is a picture of how it should be done. It needs to be stuffed full - all along the sides and back. The dog needs to be able to burrow down inside of the straw. Bales are usually $10 or less at local feed stores and will stuff 3-4 doghouses.

OAA is offering free straw bedding to those who need it Wednesday, Dec. 29 and Thursday, Dec. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday, December 31 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Text (918) 917-9687 or call (918) 742-3700 to reserve a bag. Pickup at 51st and Sheridan in Tulsa.

This is 62-year-old Becky Hamilton...she was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Becky was murdered at her Beggs home Saturday night. The Okmulgee County Sheriff's Office says Becky was shot and killed when she interrupted an intruder who was at her house.

Becky's niece says her aunt loved everyone and everyone loved her aunt. Through tears her niece said, "We go on. We remember her...the way she was and not what happened. It's gonna be hard, but hopefully the Sheriff's Office can find who did it and maybe we'll get closure that way."

We will share Becky's story on KOTV - The News On 6 at 9 & 10.

If you have any information about Becky's murder, please call the Okmulgee County Sheriff's Office 918-756-4311

My son and nephew found this dog at black and gold park. It is shaking, vomiting green and black slime and starving to death. It won't let anyone near it and I told them not to try. If this is your dog, you better go get it because I'm afraid it won't last much longer.
