Anyone drive a Jeep and have a Jeep dog??? My girl Xena! (Yes she is belted in, safety first! We were stopped at the store.)

Be aware!

[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.)

***Awareness Post***

We've had two requests to search for dogs recently. Sadly they've drowned and at this time of year they have resurfaced before we could get there, leaving their owners with a traumatic task of recovering them.

There are a number of breeds that CANT SWIM or are POOR SWIMMERS. They can sink very quickly and with best efforts to save them it is often not possible.

You rarely get a second chance with water.

Your dog may never have shown an interest in water, or may just paddle. But dogs are instinct reactive and it only takes one accident.

Please don't take the risk. Please keep breeds that are known to be poor swimmers on a lead near water. At least then you have a chance of saving them.

Some of the breeds most known that can't swim/poor swimmers and most at risk are...

• French Bulldogs
• English Bulldogs
• Pocket Bully's
• Pugs
• Dachshunds
• Boxers
• Shih Tzu's
• Basset Hounds
• Corgi's
• Maltese

If you look closely there are 12 babies! 💕 some are rescues some are not, all different breeds, all require tons of work and leadership. Some are quick learners, some not so much, and a few test my patience. When I leave work for the day I go home and work more. But I enjoy watching them learn, grow, work, and have fun. Keeping these babies mentally happy is hard work but I love it.

Happy 4th of July from my fur family to yours! Please make sure to secure pets that are scared and to check on neighbors as well. Just like our fur babies some of our military aren’t a fan. Please make sure to be considerate to both. Hope everyone has a safe and fun night!

Let’s talk about those double-coated breeds. They may not require a hair cut, but having a regular schedule for grooming will help maintain and cut clump shedding down tremendously. Starting at a young age is beneficial for the pup as they learn that grooming is not horrible and some even learn to enjoy it. I mean who doesn’t love a full body massage during their spa day?! All these babies love a good spa and are on a regular schedule, which makes home life a lot less hairy. 🛁 🐕

The weather outside has been scorching in so many areas of the country. Please remember that if it is too hot for you, it's too hot for your pets. If you cannot bring them indoors, it's best to have a temperature controlled kennel to house them in this heat.

What you see above is not acceptable! You may think a doghouse will provide shelter when the opposite is true. They actually become a 'hotbox' with temperatures being even higher. This is a similar mechanism as leaving them in a car with windows cracked.

There are still ways to enjoy being outdoors with your pet! Shallow swimming pools for those who like to splash, swimming with owner supervision, in pools, even romping in the sprinkler can allow your pet to get outdoors and have some fun without the risk of overheating. Play outdoors in small bursts. Active pets, brachycephalic breeds, geriatrics, and thick coated pets can still overheat, so supervision is a must.

Provide plenty of fresh, clean water with constant access. Just like you, hydration is important in this heat!

Owning St. Poodles is a privilege….also a lot of work. Lazarus and Xena are the goofiest and sweetest babies. Having them and learning new cuts and doing different styles is so much fun. Keep watch as I will be starting to learn color dye on them in the coming months. It is all in fun and everything is fur baby safe!

The bond with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this Earth can ever be. 💕
