🐾 Fun Fact About Cats & Dogs! 🐾

Did you know that cats and dogs can both dream? 😴🐕🐈

Just like humans, they experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is when dreams occur. So, if you see your dog twitching their paws or your cat flicking their whiskers during a nap, they might be chasing squirrels or stalking imaginary mice! 🐾✨

What do you think your pet dreams about? Share your guesses below! 🐾💭

🐾 Fun Pet Fact! 🐾

Did you know that dogs’ noses are as unique as human fingerprints? No two are the same! Their nose prints can even be used for identification.

👃🐕 Next time your pup gives you a sniff, just think—they're leaving their one-of-a-kind "paw-print" behind!

🐾 5 Dog Training Tips for Happy Pups! 🐾

Training your dog doesn’t have to be ruff! 🐶 Here are some simple tips to help your furry friend learn and thrive:

1️⃣ Start Early: Puppies are eager to learn! Begin with basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come."
2️⃣ Use Positive Reinforcement: Reward good behavior with treats, praise, or playtime. 🦴
3️⃣ Be Consistent: Use the same commands and rewards every time. Dogs thrive on routine!
4️⃣ Keep Sessions Short: 10–15 minutes a day is perfect—keep it fun and engaging!
5️⃣ Be Patient: Every dog learns at their own pace. Celebrate small wins! 🎉

✨ Training strengthens the bond between you and your dog while keeping them safe and well-behaved. You've got this! 🐕❤️

Unfortunately, AT&T wasn't able to fix our phones as of yet. They are working on it, but we are still operating off of a cell phone. Thank you all for your continued patience. We miss our functional phone system.

Okay, friends, some preparation today will set you up for a less arduous week. It is about to be VERY cold for several days with 17mph winds tomorrow and predicted 1-3 inches of snow Friday. PLEASE make sure all of your livestock have free access to forage, shelter, and tepid water. If their water is cold, they oftentimes won't drink and you'll end up with an emergency situation. Forage, forage, forage! Make sure they have good quality hay in front of them 24/7! This will help them stay warm and keep everything moving! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
