Did you know that hooved animals are called ungulates?? Did you know that they have a coffin bone? 🤯⚰️
Sometimes called a pedal bone, the coffin bone is the bottommost bone in the front and rear legs of horses, cattle, pigs, and other ungulates. 🐎🐖🦙

Did you know that Massachusetts was one of the first 6 states to recognize Labor Day! Let's give it up for not only our human laborers, but the animal ones as well. The beasts of burden such as horses, oxen, donkey, and camel; as well as the working dogs with police, fire, military, herding, and service animals to those with disabilities. Be safe out there and give some love to a working animal today!

Remember, animals have different tolerances for different toxins than we do & they explore the world with their mouths! Protect them around your home by knowing what's growing and carefully using and storing chemicals 🐾🎋🎍🍄

When you have/board animals, good cleaning tools/products can be a game changer. 🐾💩Help a sister out and comment your favorite mop for pet messes!!🙏
For your amusement here is an actual text I sent my partner today as I'm looking for some prime day deals:
"Oh dang...the rabbit hole is real for mops. Steam mops, vac+mop all in one, power steam mops with detachable handheld steamers for tough household/outdoor jobs. I feel like [Jasmine], 'A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew, but when I'm way up here, the floor'll be crystal clear, now that I'm in a cleaner world with you!' " 🤷🤣
