National Foster a Pet Month is observed every year in June. This month is observed around the country by people who foster animals in order to educate the public about what it takes to foster and how they can begin the process. Fostering offers animals in need a temporary home to experience the love and care they need. If you are interested in becoming a foster consider contacting our friends at Pacific Pug Rescue. They are based in Portland, Oregon, an all volunteer organization dedicated to taking in Pugs, Pug mixes and other flat nosed breeds in the Pacific Northwest.

June is National Microchipping Month! Meet Leaping Linda from our microchip vendor AKC Reunite. REUNITED: In a few minutes

While her owners were on vacation in Maui, Linda the English Bulldog took her own getaway and escaped from her yard! Thankfully, only minutes after she disappeared, she was reunited with the help of a good Samaritan and Linda’s AKC Reunite collar tag!

“My dad typically just opens his sliding glass door and lets Linda and our 7-year-old Lab (Abby) go out back to use the bathroom, said Kristin, Linda’s owner. “My dad said that Abby came inside and looked at him with a “something is wrong” look. He went out back and looked around for Linda” but she was nowhere to be found!

Immediately, Kristin’s dad phoned her on vacation to share the unfortunate news that Linda was missing. Before Kristin could even process how she could help find Linda or share a lost pet post to social media, she got a call from AKC Reunite!

“We were just starting to panic when my dad called. Then my phone started ringing and it was AKC Reunite,” recalled Kirstin. “Within minutes, a neighbor down the road had had called to report finding [Linda] and AKC Reunite was calling us to let us know she was safe…From the time my dad called me until my phone was ringing from AKC Reunite was about 2 minutes. I hadn’t had time to even complete my post on the local missing pets page!”

“The lady from AKC Reunite connected me with the guy that had Linda immediately. Then when I hung up, I also had received a text from AKC Reunite as well that had the phone number of the guy that had Linda! We were so lucky she had her tag on because she isn’t microchipped yet — she is getting fixed this month and they are doing it then…Had we not had this, we would likely be heading to the airport to come search for her! Thanks AKC Reunite!”

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Memorial Day Traditions and Rituals
Cities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

Americans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Some people wear a red poppy in remembrance of those fallen in war—a tradition that began with a World War I poem.

Remembering and Honoring American military personnel who died in all wars.

Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Have your pet’s teeth checked sooner if you observe any of the following problems:

Bad breath
Broken or loose teeth
Extra teeth or retained baby teeth
Teeth that are discolored or covered in tartar
Abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth
Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
Pain in or around the mouth
Bleeding from the mouth
Swelling in the areas surrounding the mouth

Some pets become irritable when they have dental problems, and any changes in your pet’s behavior should prompt a visit to your veterinarian. Always be careful when evaluating your pet’s mouth, because a painful animal may bite.
