Is Your Dog's Kibble Still Safe?

Did you know most pet food makers spend more on packaging than the contents? That bag is designed to keep oxygen out because once air gets in, the fats in kibble can go rancid.

Kibble lasts only 2-3 weeks after opening. When exposed to air, it reacts with chemicals in the food, causing a loss in nutritional value, and potentially allowing toxic mold and bacteria to grow. Rancid fats can destroy essential vitamins, leading to deficiencies and serious health issues like malnutrition, hair loss, liver and kidney disease, and even cancer.

Pro Tip: If you store food in a bin, keep it in the original bag, squeeze out the air, and seal it tightly.

Call it "rare" if you want, but there is no getting around the fact that childhood cancer kills more kids than ALL other diseases combined. Now, how can you call that "rare?"

My not-so-wicked step-sister, Kendra Joy, has gone home to be with her sisters and her mom, Bonne. She was 17.5 years old.
She just went to sleep in her comfy bed a week ago today.
Kenni came to live with us in September 2022 after her mom passed away.
Kenni couldn't see or hear very well. Her sense of smell guided her through the house and yard to find my mom, our water bowl, food and her bed. A few months ago she got the doggie dementia and her kidney disease got really bad. Like most step-sisters, we didn't get along all the time but I miss our conversations when the trashman would come by or someone rang the doorbell.
We all miss your spunkiness, Kenni! See you on the other side one day!

If you have a pool, or know someone who does, where your dog can swim and play, it’s one of the best ways to cool down and enjoy the Las Vegas heat.

When you get a new dog, it’s always important to educate them about the pool so they understand how to get in and out, especially if they ever fall in.

To introduce your dog to a pool, gradually guide them towards the water, allowing them to take things at their own pace. Not every dog is a swimmer, and some don’t even enjoy being in the water, so watch their mannerisms and reactions as you go.

Start at the shallow end, guiding them in gently and slowly. You can place their paws on the top step, but always allow them to pull back or leave if they are getting anxious.

Once they do get in, make sure to show them how to locate the steps to get back out, trying several times by bringing them to different areas of the pool and swimming with them or calling them back to the shallow end.

Today is Awareness Wednesday. What do childhood cancer kids want the most? Just to be a regular kid again.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their world and that of their family's, is turned upside down, sometimes for years. If you're not at the beach, wear a gold ribbon today and tell your family's story of how cancer turned your world upside down and what it did to your child. Ask them to support good legislation to improve the outcomes of children fighting cancer.

Give them this link and ask for their help: https://4sqclobberscancer.com/on-capital-hill/

Attention dog owners traveling between the US and Canada this August! Good news: there's less red tape for bringing your dog across the border. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Canadian Health Minister secured an exemption for Canadians, and the CDC extended it to American dog owners and others from rabies-free or low-risk countries.

No more microchips and re-vaccination hassles! Just fill out an import form and bring a current rabies certificate on travel day. Get the form here: https://cdc-786687.workflowcloud.com/forms/090dc543-7b2f-4538-b2c7-2919d12ecc73

Canada's rabies-free status played a key role in securing these updates. The new rules were set to start August 1, 2024, affecting those from high-risk countries.

Veterinarians and pet owners alike criticized the initial strict regulations, especially impacting service dog users with accessibility concerns. The CDC listened and simplified the process for low-risk country travelers. 📝

Wondering if your country qualifies as low-risk? Check here: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/rabies-free-low-risk-countries.html
Curious about high-risk countries? Here's the list: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/high-risk-countries.html

Plus, the CDC now accepts any type of microchip for dogs from high-risk countries.

Traveling with your dog just got easier!

Not one of my special little kiddles but he sure could use a little help.

With this ridiculous weather, potty breaks are 3-5 minutes. No outside activities other than our therapy visits. We need a few enrichment activities. Here is one of my favorites.
Under half of the toys is a treat. She carefully removes each toy looking for the treats.
It takes all of 1.5 minutes!

Last night Mawm and I returned to Summerlin Hospital and the Pediatric Oncology floor to visit the staff and little kiddles!
It's been 12 weeks!
Silly Mawm broke some body parts and Pawpaw had to take care of us. I was exhausted after our first evening back. It was so good to get all those hugs!
