If you’re like me you probably get really annoyed when the holiday decorations started showing up in the stores right after Halloween. Well, I’m one-upping them bigtime and am promoting  holiday card sessions for pets less than a month after Labor Day (at least I waited until the first day of fall)

It kicked off on Friday with speeches by SFSPCA president Jan McHugh-Smith, Assmemblyman Mark Leno and others along with appearances [...]
