It's hard to leave your pets at home when you have errands to run, but being separated could cause your pet to become overly anxious. It's important to be aware of separation anxiety to help your pet overcome it.

Question of the day:
True or False. Dog p*e is causing lamp posts to topple over?

The Answer? TRUE !
Dog urine is highly acidic and can sp*ed up the corrosion process of a lamp post base until it weakens and collapses. Cities have been contending with this issue as lamp posts age. The solution? fire hydrants are made from cast iron and do nut rust!

August 28th is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance day.
Today we remember all of the pets that we have lost and miss so much.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old, are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt, or maimed are made whole and strong again. Just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing. They each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together...but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers.
Suddenly...he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster, and faster.
You have been spotted.
When you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands again caress the beloved head. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then... you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

Copied From the Erie County Department Of Health Facebook:

This is the time of year when we receive constant calls about bats and potential bat exposures.
If you find a bat in your home, please try to catch it (if you can catch it safely). Then, call our office at 716-961-6800 (after business hours, weekends and holidays, call (716) 961-7898). You might not notice a bat's bite or scratch, especially if you are sleeping. We investigate and make arrangements to test the bat for rabies if necessary.

Please also call out Hospital at 716-832-2800 to make sure your pet is up to date on Rabies and get them a booster if need be.
