Before squashing or disposing of insect, put in baggie as their disease is spread through their f***s. 🙏

Have you seen this insect? If so - kill them every time and dispose of the body.
These are various species of Kissing Bugs. They carry a potentially deadly disease called Chagas which is contagious to humans, dogs and other mammals.
We see several dogs each year affected by this disease and if symptoms are present the dog has a high likelihood of death.

Symptoms include:
- Lethargy
- Weight loss
- Difficulty breathing
- Swollen abdomen

To help prevent the spread of this disease:

1. Seal cracks/crevices around homes
2. Remove woodpiles/rock piles near living areas
3. Use screens on windows/doors
4. Use insecticides indoors and around doorways
6. ***Give Bravecto to your dogs every 90 days. Bravecto has been shown to kill kissing bugs and reduce the transmission of Chagas disease.

Texas A&M Univeristy always studying the spread of this disease and has some great information for you to read:
https://kissingbug.tamu.edu

Texas A&M research on kissing bugs and chagas disease in the United States with the help of citizen scientists to uncover the distribution of different species of kissing bugs, their infection prevalence over time, and their interactions with host species.

Hope everyone is having a great summer. I still have some openings for August, so if your pet is needing a place to stay, please call, text or message me so we can get you taken care of. Also, if you want to go ahead and start making holiday reservations, get ahead of the rush as I already have some booked. 🐶🙏

July is just about booked up completely and August is getting that way fast. So please don’t miss out on the opportunity to book with me at my indoor facility AC controlled kennels with TVs, numerous outings per day (in their own private yard) and loves, kisses and treats in the evening. I also have cameras everywhere to keep an eye on them in the middle of the night. Please call as soon as possible if you’re wanting anything for the rest of July or August 🙏. It’s best to reach me by text or voicemail as sometimes messenger doesn’t notify me fast or at all 🙁

Everyone please be mindful of your dogs, actually all pets, this 4th of July. We are already hearing them out here in the country and expect them to continue probably through the weekend. Make sure they are safe and protected so that they don’t run away from home or so that they are not under any distress at all. God bless you all and have the happiest 4th of July!!! 💥 🧨 ❤️🐾🐾🐾

"He's not your kid."
As I tuck him in every night.
"He's not your kid."
As I make my breakfast, I scramble him up some eggies and make sure he gets the most important meal of the day.
"He's not your kid."
As I do my laundry, I make sure his blankets/jackets and beddng (he still sleeps with us every night in OUR bed) are also clean.
"He's not your kid."
As I nursed him back to his optimal health the first few months I had him.
"He's not your kid."
As I just changed my entire career and life so I could be home with him more during the days and save for our future because I was sick of seeing him so sad on the furbo.
"He's not your kid."
As I hang his coat/blanket (one of many) on the coat hanger next to ours.
"He's not your kid."
As I pick up all his toys and place them back on his bed for him to through them everywhere as soon as he waks up from his nap.
"He's not your kid."
As I take him out yet again to play and run in the snow while my fingers are numb but he's only a puppy for so long.
"He's not your kid."
Yea, he's not my kid.
He's my heart. My world. My baby.
And for those who can't see the similarities between a puppy and a child and for those who really think a dog is really "just a dog," you must never have found your heart dog and I pray one day, you do.
