🐾 What to Do If You Find a Hypothermic Animal 🐾

Finding an animal in distress during freezing weather can be heartbreaking 🥶💔. Here’s how you can help:

1️⃣ Move them to a warm, safe space 🏡✨. Avoid sudden temperature changes—don’t place them directly in front of a heater.
2️⃣ Wrap them in warm blankets 🛌🔥. Use body heat or a heating pad set to low (if available) to help them warm up gradually.
3️⃣ Check for signs of hypothermia: Shivering, lethargy, shallow breathing, or a low heart rate are all red flags 🚨❄️.
4️⃣ Offer lukewarm water or broth 🥣 (if they’re alert). This can help increase their internal temperature.
5️⃣ Contact a vet ASAP 🩺📞. Professional care is crucial for their recovery!

❌ Don’t:
• Use hot water bottles or very hot heat sources directly on their skin.
• Delay getting professional help.

Every second counts in these situations! Let’s keep our furry friends safe this winter. ❤️🐕🐈

🎉 Stevie Graduates! 🎓🐾

Today, Stevie wrapped up his board and train and has gone back home! 🏡 Over the past two weeks, he’s learned so much and gained a ton of confidence. 💪✨ Now it’s up to his mom to keep the momentum going—Stevie is one smart boy, and we know he’ll continue to shine! 🌟

🚨 Important Update for Monday Walks 🚨

Hey everyone! With freezing rain in the forecast for Monday, safety is my top priority—for both your pups and myself. 🌧️❄️ If the roads are dangerous, I will need to cancel all walks for the day. I’ll keep you updated as the weather unfolds and let you know if walks are possible.

Additionally, if school buses are canceled, I’ll need to stay home with my kids and won’t be able to walk that day. Thank you for understanding!

Stay tuned for updates and stay safe out there. ❤️

Navigating the Puppy Blues: It’s Okay to Feel Overwhelmed! 🐾💙

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it’s not all cuddles and wagging tails. 🐶 Sometimes, the puppy blues can sneak in—feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, or even regretful. Guess what? You’re not alone, and it’s totally normal! 💡

Here are some tips to get through this challenging phase:

✨ Focus on the wins: Celebrate small victories, like your pup mastering “sit” or sleeping through the night. 🛏️🎉
✨ Take breaks: Self-care is vital! Tag a partner, friend, or hire help like a dog walker (🙋‍♀️) to lighten the load.
✨ Seek support: Join puppy parent groups online or connect with other dog owners who get it. 🐕👥
✨ Stay patient: Puppies are learning, and so are you. It gets easier with time and consistency! ⏳❤️

The puppy phase can feel tough, but it’s temporary. Soon, you’ll look back and smile at these early days as your bond grows stronger. 🐕‍🦺💞

🌟 You’ve got this! 🌟

Understanding Littermate Syndrome 🐶❤️

Littermate Syndrome is a common challenge pet parents face when adopting two puppies from the same litter. While it might seem adorable to bring home a pair of siblings, it can lead to:

🔹 Over-attachment: Puppies may bond too closely with each other, making it harder for them to bond with humans.
🔹 Behavioral issues: Fearfulness, aggression, or separation anxiety can develop if they rely too heavily on each other.
🔹 Training difficulties: They might struggle to focus during training sessions because they’re distracted by their sibling.

How to Prevent Littermate Syndrome:
1️⃣ Spend one-on-one time with each puppy daily.
2️⃣ Train them separately to ensure individual growth.
3️⃣ Crate them separately to help them develop independence.
4️⃣ Socialize them with other dogs and humans regularly.

Remember, raising two puppies together can be rewarding, but it takes extra effort and patience. If you’re considering adopting littermates, be prepared to dedicate time to their individual development.

🎄 Keeping Your Pets Safe This Christmas 🎅🐾

The holiday season is full of joy, but it also comes with some hidden dangers for our furry friends. Let’s make sure they stay safe and happy!

1️⃣ Watch Those Treats 🍫🍪
Many holiday favorites like chocolate, raisins, grapes, and artificial sweeteners (like xylitol) are toxic to pets. Keep them out of reach and opt for pet-safe treats instead! 🐶🐾

2️⃣ Mind the Plants 🌿🎍
Beautiful decorations like mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias can be harmful if ingested. Stick to pet-safe greenery or artificial alternatives.

3️⃣ Decorations Danger 🎁🧸
Keep fragile ornaments, tinsel, and string lights out of reach—curious paws can lead to broken glass, tangles, or worse!

4️⃣ Scraps Aren’t Snacks 🥩❌
While we all love sharing, fatty meats, bones, or rich leftovers can cause upset stomachs or even serious issues like pancreatitis.

5️⃣ Secure the Tree 🌲🐕
Prevent tree disasters by anchoring it securely. Some pets love to climb or pull, and we don’t want any toppled trees!

✨ Pro Tip: Keep emergency vet contact info handy, just in case.

Keep your furry family members safe this holiday season and enjoy the festivities together! 🐾❤️

Today, we pause to remember the brave men, women, and animals who served and sacrificed for our freedom. From messenger pigeons and horses to courageous dogs, animals played vital roles alongside our soldiers, showing unwavering loyalty and courage. Their contributions will never be forgotten. Let’s take a moment to honor their legacy and the peace their sacrifices have given us.

Lest we forget.
