101 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com our pets Season’s greeting hoomans! The holidays are a busy time of year for me and my pack friends. Brody, Russ and I have been spreading a little extra holiday cheer around Mount Pleasant Magazine. Now, I’ll be honest — when you’re a dog, the holidays are already pretty great. There are extra treats, cozy naps by the fire and the occasional wrapping paper to shred. But this year, my pack decided to focus on something even better than chew toys and belly rubs: giving back. We were all lounging in the conference room the other day — you know, the spot with the best view of the snack table — when Brody barked up a brilliant idea. Why not use the holidays to shine a light on all the amazing humans and nonprofits helping our community? After all, this season isn’t just about gifts; it’s about opening our hearts and giving to those that are not as fortunate whether you have two legs or four legs. From toy drives and food pantries to shelters helping Reggie’s Rep rt families find warmth and comfort, Mount Pleasant is full of kindness that spreads along the Carolina coast. Even us four-legged folks can get involved — we’ve seen local rescues collecting donations, volunteers walking dogs who need forever homes, and families opening their hearts to adopt. See our first ever pet-focused Local Nonprofit Directory on Page 54. This winter, whether you’re giving your time, your resources or just a friendly smile to a neighbor, remember that every act of kindness makes Mount Pleasant a brighter place. As for me, I’ll be here keeping an eye on my buddy Bill, watching the tinsel and spreading a little extra love wherever my paws take me. Wishing you all a happy holiday filled with joy, treats and plenty of reasons to wag your tail!
