For the remainder of November, we are going to host an undergarment drive!

We volunteered at the Care & Share House in Council Bluffs a few months ago, and more recently with the Diaper Bank in Omaha. Both noted how undergarments are in short supply and high demand, ESPECIALLY BRAS! If you didn't know (as some of our male staff members did not), bras are expensive, and it's sometimes difficult to find a "good" one. They're also essential for dignity and confidence.

Please help us help our community and bring in new or gently used bras in all sizes, new underwear of all sexes and sizes, new diapers, and new socks until the beginning of December. We'll take your donations to these organizations. THANK YOU for helping us spread the love during the upcoming holiday season.

🐶🧅🦃Pumpkin Pie Time!🐶🧅🦃

While pumpkin is great for dogs, pumpkin pie isn't so good. The added fats and sugars can give them a nasty case of pancreatitis. Instead, check out this recipe for dog-safe pumpkin pie!

🐾 What's the biggest secret to a longer, healthier life for our pets? A recent article breaks down the science, and the answer might surprise you! 🤔

It's not about finding one "magic" brand of food. In fact, the science doesn't show that modern commercial diets are the cause of major diseases.

So, what IS the single most important factor proven to extend both lifespan and improve health in our pets?

🍽️ **Eating LESS.**

A landmark 14-year study on Labrador Retrievers found that dogs fed 25% fewer calories than their free-fed siblings lived, on average, **nearly TWO years longer!** They also had lower rates of cancer, osteoarthritis, and diabetes.

We know it’s hard. For many of us, food is love ❤️, and it's tough to resist those pleading puppy-dog eyes. But the science is clear: **overfeeding is likely the biggest *preventable* cause of death in our pets.**

The goal isn't to make our pets grumpy, but to help them live the longest, healthiest, and happiest life possible by our side.

What are your thoughts on this? Let's talk about it in the comments! 👇
