Text Message Received From One Of Our Precious Extended Fur Family Members:

"Hi Amber! I wanted to see about reservations for July 2025 and December 2026.

I'm not 100% sure of July days, should know by end of the week. (Probably the 18-30?)

December 2026 dates are December 3-20, 2026

Thanks!"

My Response:
Oh, wow! That's definitely planning ahead of time! God willing that I am still here, then I will definitely be available for you! I have put it on our calendar. Thank you! ♥️

Small business Saturday!

"I started Lexington Pet Pantry to help pet owners around Lexington provide basic needs during financial hardship. I have been doing this for just 2 weeks and have already helped over 20 people with things like food, litter, and flea and tick preventative.

I’m on track to turn this into a 501(c)3 soon! I would love the support of you ladies, if you want to follow the page, volunteer, or share!

Also looking for local pet store partners! If you are willing to assist in anyway please let me know." ☺️

I haven't had a working charger for my iPhone (859-285-6807) for several days now and unfortunately haven't been able to access my messages as a result. My iPhone is my backup phone and 99% of the people trying to reach me typically use my android phone (859) 270-3619, Facebook Messenger or contact Leslie Meyers (859) 310-9470. However, just in case you are the 1% that have tried to contact me via my iPhone please know I haven't been purposely ignoring you. I just haven't had access to a car to purchase a new iPhone charger either. Stay safe, healthy and warm. Thank you very much in advance for your understanding. Much Love and Peace Always!

Sincerely,
Amber Dawn Haag

OUTDOOR PETS should be brought inside, as they are at risk of "frostbite, hypothermia and death during extreme cold snaps."

Current reality!❄️ 🐾♥️🐾❄️

I most definitely know my wife loves and cares about mine and our extended fur family members' safety! She called me last night to remind me to be careful and safe, especially when carrying out one of our sweet and elderly Paw Pals. Fortunately, she also reminded me to sweep the snow off the steps before packing it down while stepping down on them. Thank goodness because it made everything so much easier and safer for sure! Stay safe and make sure your precious babies don't have snow stuck in their sensitive pads/paws.

She also graciously offered to come over and help me out. Extremely grateful! 🙏

Hazardous weather conditions are forecasted through Tuesday. Please read on and stay safe, Lexington! For more information, visit Lexington KY Emergency Management.

WIND ADVISORY

- Friday’s Wind Advisory: The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Lexington from 7 a.m. to 7 a.m.

- Saturday - Expect winds of 20-30 mph with gusts of 45-55 mph. Secure any outdoor furniture, trash cans, or any loose objects. For more information on wind safety, click here: https://bit.ly/4aLq3DI

POWER LINE/POWER OUTAGE SAFETY

- If a power line falls near or on your house or car, stay calm. Never touch a downed power line, and avoid anything touching the line. Notify the local utility company or call 9-1-1 to report it if someone is in danger. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3vEqmzX

COLD SAFETY

- Hypothermia and Frostbite: As temperatures plummet, you are at greater risk for frostbite and hypothermia. Frostbite is a bodily injury caused by freezing that results in loss of feeling and color in affected areas. Hypothermia occurs when a person is exposed to very cold temperatures for too long. Read more on signs and prevention here: https://bit.ly/41TyZTs

- Pets: Your pets need special care during cold weather. They may have long fur but can, and will, get cold and suffer if left outside. Once the temperatures drop below 32 degrees, limit outdoor time as much as possible. For more information to keep your pets safe, click here: https://bit.ly/3SfHu79

- Water Lines/Pipes: As cold temperatures approach, it’s time to review how to prevent frozen pipes in your home. This can be prevented by detaching garden hoses from the house, opening cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes, and leaving your faucets dripping or trickling. Read more prevention tips here: https://bit.ly/48ReHMy

- Wind Chill: Wind chills are expected to reach (see below) today. A wind chill is the combination of wind and extremely low temperature. This makes it much easier for people outside to experience frostbite and hypothermia. Take action by dressing in several layers, covering any exposed skin, and limiting outdoor time.

Kentucky pet owners are being encouraged...

"Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not. 🐕 ❤️
** The lithium batteries in pacemakers are considered hazardous waste, so burial or disposal in landfills can cause environmental damage. Reusing the devices helps reduce the millions of tons of medical waste generated each year, and saves the cost of treatment and disposal."

A program at the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine uses donated pacemakers for pets with heart problems.

I can't tell you how absolutely true this is and how genuinely grateful we are for our entire extended fur family. Blessed beyond belief.
🐾♥️🐾

Our Zoo Or Yours would like to wish everyone a peaceful, safe, blessed, happy and healthy December. Love you all! 🙏
