Dogs lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price.
Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions. ~Dean Koontz

With the severe heat we are having, be particularly careful with your pets!

Walk your dogs when it's cooler outside.
Waiting for cooler temperatures reduces the risk of heatstroke and burning their paws on the pavement. (Walk in the early mornings and evenings).

Do NOT leave your dog unsupervised around bodies of water.
A swimming pool can provide a welcome cool-down on a hot summer day, but a pool, or any body of water, can be a drowning hazard for pets.

NEVER leave your pet inside a car.
Even if just for a few minutes and with the windows cracked open, the temperature inside a car can quickly reach 120°F and beyond in just minutes.

Be cautious of your dog drinking sea water.
During beach days, remember that when swimming or playing in the water, your dog can consume salt water. This can irritate the GI tract and, in large amounts, can potentially become toxic for your pet. Tip: Pack fresh water and a bowl for your doggo.

Be careful swimming in bodies of fresh water.
Dogs who play or swim in lakes, ponds, or rivers are at risk of coming in contact with algae, bacteria, or parasites. Some of these organisms can be harmful to your pet.

I have a FB friend who's looking to foster 2+ new born puppies. She has a Labrador Retriever that had a single puppy 2 days ago. Mama is making milk and would be happy to share and help her singleton not have the behavioral issues common with these situations. She is located in Wilmington, NC. Any leads are welcome. Thanks so much!

What a great kid!

A teen risked getting sprayed in order to help a skunk that was running around in the middle of the road with a cup stuck on its head in West Paris, Maine.

This is Sweet Sasha and she needs a new home. A home with lots of love and time for a 6 month old puppy with beautiful yellow eyes and a ton of energy. She is so smart but the current home she is in doesn't have a yard, or the time to train this sweet girl. She doesn't know about leashes and walks, she is trying to be a good girl and not potty in the house, but she doesn't always get let out. She is shy but warms up quick to a kind hand and a handful of baby carrots. She has no toys, other than the few I have bought for her. I am her next door neighbor and have fallen in love with her, but I live in the same apartments and have no yard for her either. She loves kids, and lives with a two year old, but is very bouncy so maybe a home with slightly bigger kiddos that will play with her outside. I will keep looking but wanted to put this out in hopes someone is looking for a new fur family member...
Oh and she has already been spayed. They are gonna take her to the pound, and I am sure she will be adopted quickly, but due to her timid nature, my heart aches for her having to be there at all, but on the upside, at least she will get walks...😔

Especially want to emphasize helping your pets with noise phobia. Talk to your vet now to request anti-anxiety meds, pick up a thunder shirt, noise-cancelling dog scarf, and set up a cozy contained area with white noise. Hoping you and your pets have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
