Please take care them...strays included. Provide shade and shade. It is the little things that sometimes means the most.

Not every human or animal likes fireworks like you do. So please be considerate and consider some compromise on how long your fire them off and how loud they are.

PET SAFETY REMINDER: Remember that asphalt (and concrete) gets HOT during the summer and can cause burns to pets’ feet. On a 77-degree day asphalt temps have measured as high as 125 degrees – and on an 87-degree day as high as 143 degrees (it’s already 88 today in central Iowa and temps are climbing, so even more dangerous)! Skin destruction can occur in as little as 1 minute on a 125-degree surface. To keep your pet safe, press the back of your hand firmly against the asphalt (or concrete) for 7 seconds before walking your dog on it. If it’s not comfortable for you, it could potentially harm your pup. Even better, walk your dog in the grass to not even risk paw damage.

If you’re aware of someone feeding or caring for a feral colony in your area -- and those cats are NOT spayed or neutered-- there’s a good chance the caregiver either doesn’t realize the importance of TNR (trap, neuter, return) or doesn’t have the financial means to provide full veterinary care for all the cats. They may not be aware that there is often assistance (low-cost spay/neuter) available! It's disappointing, but most people have never even heard of TNR.

Please do your best to educate those who are simply trying to help the cats for the benefit of the cats and all who live around them. 🐾

If you're in Charlotte, NC, please reach out to us for resources. If you're not in our area, search 'TNR in (your city, state)' or use these links to find low-cost spay/neuter clinics near you --

This still applies today! Owners, please try to remember that even if YOUR dog is friendly, other dogs may not be or may need space for other reasons or other special needs. Also, other dog owners may not want another dog around them uninvited. Please ask if you may approach another owner with an animal so that there is mutual consent to approach one another.

Good bugs to know and not kill!

Definitely clean their bowls daily. How would you like to eat food off of a dirty plate. Germs and bacteria, dust, and hair can all collect on these dishes if they are not cleaned. Plus dirty dishes attract ants and other bugs. Keep them clean and limit potential avoidable health issues.

The state of your pet’s feeding and drinking dishes play a crucial role in their overall health. Dirty bowls are a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Wash and scrub their water and food dishes with hot soapy water. Running them through the dishwasher's hottest cycle to get them clean and sanitized is even more effective.

Please allow for adjustment time. Kids need adjusting to new homes as do our pets...even when moving into a different home with you.
