Memo from the Dog

🐾 Official Notice 🐾

To all human staff,

Please be advised that although the clocks “fall back” tonight, my meal schedule shall remain unaffected by these human traditions. My tummy operates on a highly calibrated schedule that does not recognize daylight savings.

So, while you may enjoy an extra hour of sleep, I will still require breakfast, treats, and dinner at the usual appointed times.

Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.

With wagging tail,
Your Loyal Canine, Head of Management

Grooming your dog regularly is a must! 🐾 It keeps their coat sleek and tidy and gives you a moment to check on their health. Here are a few perks of regular grooming:

🔸Prevents mats and tangles: Brushing regularly keeps their coat smooth and free of those pesky, painful knots. 🪮✂️
🔸Reduces shedding: Less fur around the house, yes please! 🏠✨
🔸Promotes healthy skin: Grooming helps spread natural oils, keeping your pup’s skin in top shape. 🧴🐶
🔸Detect health issues early: It’s a great time to notice any unusual lumps or skin irritations before they become bigger issues. 👀🔍

Ever wonder why dogs do that little spin before settling down? It’s actually a leftover habit from their wild ancestors! 🐺 Back in the day, wolves would circle around to check for predators, see which way the wind was blowing, and even clear out a cozy spot to sleep on. In colder places, they'd dig into the snow for insulation, and in warmer areas, they'd uncover cooler dirt to lay on. Circling also helped flatten out the area and let other animals know, “This spot’s mine!” Plus, it kept pesky insects out of their bed. 🛏️ Even though our dogs now have comfy, safe homes, they’ve hung onto this ancient behavior. Pretty cool, right? 🐶
