I pray that every one of my pet families is safe. Over the past 2 weeks, I am saddened to hear about the devastation and loss of lives so close to home. This puts into perspective how abruptly life can change. Hug and tell your loved ones how much you love them. Live life to it's fullest potential and chase those dreams! Don't wait until tomorrow because it may never come.

These pictures are from the day after Milton ravaged the Florida west coast. West Bay Drive suffered flash flooding, but we were fortunate to only have minor water intrusion. We also had some roof shingle tiles tear off. The Magnolia tree wants to fall on my neighbor's fence and a power line was on the ground near the water. No one was hurt and we are grateful for that!

We are open for business! Tomorrow we will be at the office from 8-11 am. We cleared the debris from the property with exception of the Magnolia tree. We are in process of hiring a professional to have the tree removed. Although the back parking lot is no longer flooded we advise to please park in front or at the real-estate office.

Below is a link to a chocolate toxicity calculator which tells you if your pet has ingested a toxic amount of chocolate. Different levels of chocolate toxicity depend on the type of chocolate , the amount ingested and the weight of the dog. For example, dark chocolate is more toxic than milk chocolate. If a small dog ingests a small amount of dark chocolate, this may be more toxic to that dog than to a Great Dane. This calculator is handy to have in case of an emergency so that you can determine if your pet needs to go the the emergency clinic for immediate treatment.

If you think your dog has eaten chocolate, or they have any of these symptoms, contact the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661 or your veterinarian or emergency vet right away:
