Something to remember with the 4th of July coming

06/20/2025

PSA!!!
We are expecting to have some really high temps that are very dangerous for your fur babies. Please be aware of heat stroke and burned paw pads. If the ground is too hand for the back of your hand and you wouldn’t walk barefooted then it’s too hot for your babies paws. Best times for a walk is during the early hours of the morning and I’m the early evening. Everyone be safe and always have water with you if you’re out.

If Death Takes Me First

If I die while my dog still lives, please - let them see my body. Let them press their nose to my still hand one last time, let them whimper their grief into my silent chest. They deserve to understand.

Dogs know death. They mourn. But disappearing without explanation? That’s cruelty. That’s abandonment. The confusion would haunt them - waiting, watching, wondering why I never came home.

I’ve known that ache of being left behind. I won’t inflict it on the creature who loved me most purely. Let my death be real to them, so their love can find peace.

One final act of care: let them know I didn’t choose to leave them.

Many don’t know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don’t hesitate to save your dog.

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!

⚠️ WARNING! Now that we are turning on the heat and dogs are wanting to lay by that heat, please be very careful.
Imagine this happens and dog is home alone. ☹️
