Water for them

Animals need water throughout the year. You can help by simply putting a low dish of water on your deck, patio, or back lawn. A cut-off bottom from a gallon-sized plastic jug of milk or water is perfect. If you're more industrious, you might install a bird bath, but the low dish in the yard is still a good idea, since critters such as toads, rabbits and turtles need their water close to the ground. If you like serious around-the-home projects, consider building a back-yard pond. That's the ultimate in watering holes for your furry and feathered neighbors. Providing them with water makes our homes a little more like THEIR homes once again.
