Please keep them safe and inside your home!

Keep your dogs safe this 4th of July! 🐶🇺🇸

Did you know that more dogs go missing on July 4th than any other time of the year?

Fireworks can be frightening and overwhelming for many dogs, so consider taking precautions to calm your furry friends.

Keep your pups inside and provide a calming outlet such as DOGTV to distract and relax them! 🐾

Super hot days ahead. If you see a pet in a car on a hot day try to locate the owner or call 911 and stay with the car until help arrives.

So,
What do you do when, your vet tech appointment is 3:30 and 3:45 comes around and the girl at the desk sees you and doesn't bother to update you as to what is taking them so long? Others went in for vet appointments. I have a tech appointment. My boys flip out there, so what did I do, I left. It's now 4:37, personally, I would liked to have had a call saying, we are so sorry.........
Not sure if I will post the vet, yet or not. I was checked in, just fyi
Thanks for lettin me vent!!
The boys are completely passed out now. Gonna have to give Buddy pain meds early, the stress if it causes his neck to hurt 😞

1st day off in a long time. Being a Professional Pet Sitter & Dog Walker, has its advantages & disadvantages. We work, a lot, every holiday and most weekends. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, not really. I absolutely live what I do and all the awesome pets we get to play/walk with. This week has been draining, I lost a long time client & awesome pup Monday, Tuesday a gorgeous kitty and Friday, a wonderful Dobie. Neighbor said yesterday, she lost her pup Thursday. I am so done with this week. Today, is a me day. Hubby went to work, our boys have eaten, fish fed. I'm on a float enjoying this Beautiful sunny So Cal day. Radio on (currently the black Crows) and getting a much needed day to myself. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and God Bless everyone 😊

REACTIVITY MISUNDERSTOOD
Reactive dogs are often misunderstood. A dog that is reacting to a situation is not trying to be difficult, they are having a difficult time coping with that particular situation and are trying their best to make the scary thing go away.
Reactivity is generally triggered by the emotion of fear. The fear of whatever is scaring them, a fear of a valuable possession being taken away or a fear of a strange person or animal coming into their territory. Anxiety, stress, over excitement, over stimulation, feeling overwhelmed, trigger stacking, or a dog that is tired, in pain or even has chronic itching will often feel irritable and may be reactive in certain situations. If their reactivity is successful in making the scary thing go away, it becomes a rewarding behaviour because it’s something that works for them and it makes them feel better.
It’s not easy to be the owner of a reactive dog. One of my dogs is reactive and I know first-hand how dogs like this can leave you feeling embarrassed, ashamed, angry or frustrated. Why do they have to be so difficult, why can’t they just behave normally? Everyone is looking at me, judging me, thinking that I’m a bad owner, have no training skills, can’t control my dog or have a vicious dog that shouldn’t be taken out in public.
As hard as it may be, we need to take the focus off how we as owners feel about their reactivity and focus on how our dogs are feeling and what is causing their reaction. Whatever it is, it’s not something our dogs can overcome on their own and we need to take steps to help them cope. Reactive dogs need compassion, understanding, management, force free, positive reinforcement interventions and decompression – (a return to a normal, more relaxed state after a period of intense stress, psychological pressure, or urgent activity). These techniques take time and patience but are so important in helping our dogs to feel safe and learn more acceptable ways of coping.
I have learnt through many mistakes, to recognise what triggers my reactive dog and take steps to either avoid those situations, provide enough distance, or provide her with an alternative choice where she feels safe and in control of her environment. There will always be unexpected triggers around the next corner that are not within our control, but doing all we can to manage these triggers has immeasurable benefits.

100%!!
If you adopt a child, you have them for the rest of their life
You adopt a dog, you have them for the rest of their life
Neither are disposable!
Pets should be indoors

Good afternoon FB Fam!
I have met Modelo, he is young and super sweet. I met him through a client's friend. If you can help in any way, they (including myself), would be much appreciated! Even 5.00, it doesn't matter the denomination. Every little bit will help him! If you are unable to donate, no problem, would you please share this on your page? The more people who can read it, the better chance we have at getting him his surgery
Again, I have met him and he is the sweetest boy!

My name is Barbara, and I'm fundraising for Modelo, a yellow Lab that provides love and … Barbara Dunlap needs your support for Our Modelo Needs Surgery Soon
