I attended a talk on climate change in Chicago at the Wild Things Conference last Saturday, when it was 65 degrees.
The next day my husband and I (below – note he is wearing shorts) took my cocker spaniels, Buffy (tan) and Chipper (black & white) to Illinois Beach State Park. Buffy was so hot, she waded into frigid Lake Michigan. The date was February 19th with the temperatures in the upper 60s! This was a first in my lifetime for a week of temperatures this warm in February. Climate change is here. Today (2/22) it’s predicted to be in the 70s!
Has it been really warm where you live? Please comment.

Very interesting post. We live in Charleston SC and today it’s 83 degrees. The constant warm climate does seem to cause havoc with Harley’s allergies.
We are from Chicago, although we currently reside in the Desert Southwest, we can’t recall the weather being so warm in Illinois this time of the year.
“Trump can’t be wrong,” my Master says “Spring in mid-February, tulips growing, crocuses, et.No climate change! Please more oil, more coal, more gas!. Our grand children will roast, starvation, drought,war, everything is fine!”
We, cats, will adapt. Not human beings.
