Furry Friday – Manage Election Stress


Congratulations!  You have nearly survived what has seemed like the longest political season in history.  (We’re in Iowa, so I am pretty sure it actually started the day after President Obama was inaugurated in 2012.)

Get out and vote – poll hours Election Day – 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in Iowa.

arl-election-2016However if, like me, this election is stressing you out, forget the pharmaceuticals and get a pet instead!  It’s a perfect prescription to help alleviate hand-wringing, hair-pulling, and general anxiety.  (Seriously, Google it, there are medical facts to back it up.)

That’s why the Animal Rescue League of Iowa is offering a $25 adoption special through Election Day!  Check out the flyer, then check out the furry people – here.

Also, please remember, as stressful as it has been – Please Vote!  It’s the ultimate way to show a Military Veteran your appreciation. 🙂

Please Adopt, Don’t Shop. -Kate
