came out in full force on Saturday for the neighborhood cleanup day 🏆

Also, we had folks from the Geo Re-entry Program who worked hard to make the train sparkle. ✨

FYI: If you're looking to hire, these guys need to get back in the game!

Not to make you feel bad 😉 😉... Not a single neighbor showed up to help. perhaps

Hello Rincon Hill Dog Lovers,

As we approach the Fourth of July, we want to give you a heads-up about scheduled fireworks displays that could affect our beloved pets. On July 3rd, between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m., and on July 4th, between 9:30 and 9:50 p.m., there will be fireworks in our area. While these displays are beautiful and celebratory, they can be incredibly stressful and scary for our furry friends.

Here are some tips to help your pets get through this potentially traumatic time:

1. Play Soothing Music: Turn on some calming music at a slightly louder volume to help drown out the sound of fireworks. The continuous sound can help reduce their anxiety.

2. Use ThunderShirts: If you have a ThunderShirt, now is the perfect time to use it. These wraps apply gentle, constant pressure, which can have a calming effect on your dog.

3. Secure Harnesses: Ensure your dog is wearing a secure harness instead of a collar leash. This can prevent them from pulling away and running off if they get startled by the noise.

4. Close Windows and Doors: Make sure all windows and doors are securely closed. This not only reduces the noise but also prevents any chance of your pet escaping in a panic.

5. Create a Safe Space: Designate a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet can feel safe. This could be a room with no windows or a cozy spot with their favorite blankets and toys.

6. Stay Calm and Reassuring: Your pet can pick up on your emotions, so try to stay calm and provide them with comfort and reassurance.

Additionally, be aware that there may be unscheduled fireworks from neighbors or others in the area. Keeping your pets indoors and following the above tips throughout the evening can help them feel more secure.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Fourth of July! Let's celebrate our independence while keeping our furry friends comfortable and safe.
