Roses are red. Violets are blue. If you love animals, here's what you should do: Make a date with your veterinarian. No, not for dinner and a movie... a date to have your animal companions "snipped."

February may be associated with romance, thanks to Valentine's Day, but it's also Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, and if you have an animal friend who still hasn't been "fixed," there's no better time to do it. Many veterinarians, spay/neuter clinics and animal shelters offer special deals on spaying and neutering in February, helping you save a little cash. But more importantly, having your animals fixed can save countless lives.
