Happy Holidays From MeriTalk’s Pets – MeriTalk State & Local

With the holiday season upon us, we at MeriTalk wanted to spread some holiday cheer. We’ve gathered up photos of our furry friends dressed in festive attire, meeting Santa, or just enjoying some winter weather.

One of best parts of the holiday season is spending time with the ones we love, including our non-human family members. Whether your family members have fur, feathers, fins, scales, or are just regular old humans, we hope you have a joyous holiday season and a bright new year.

Natty Boh is hoping she ends up on Santa’s “Good List” again this year.

Rock and Maisy were the stars of their human’s Christmas card this year!

Bodhi hand delivered her wish list to Santa. She’s pretty sure she’s on the nice list this year.

Pepper loves to go walking in a winter wonderland.

Taylor just turned 15 and is hoping Santa brings her some birthday presents along with her Christmas gifts.

Fred is looking extra festive with his big red bow.

Eddy stole the spotlight during the Christmas card photo shoot.
