Long weekend!

Hard to believe it is already the

Fourth of July weekend!

Beth says that means

summer is half over....

We don't have any big plans for

the long weekend.

How about you?

Whatever you do --

Be safe and have fun!

ENJOY the start

to the last half of the summer!

AND be careful with fireworks --

especially around animals....

we don't understand all that noise!

Here are some safety tips for you....

• All pets should be microchipped and wear collars and

identification tags with current information.

Cats should wear a break-away/safety collar.

 Dogs should wear nylon or leather collars only.

Tags should not be placed on training collars or choke chains.

• Keep your pet indoors in a quiet, safe room

 with plenty of fresh water and give dogs

several safe chew toys.

Dogs that are crate trained will do better in a crate,

while cats will do best in a room where they are most comfortable,

 with food, water and their litterboxes.

• Frightened outdoor dogs have been known to jump

high fences and dig holes to escape the sound of fireworks.

 Indoor animals should be kept away from

large glass windows or doors because

they are highly capable of crashing right through when scared.

• Pets are safest at home, but if you choose to

bring your buddy to a picnic or BBQ, make sure

to bring plenty of fresh water, keep your pet

in the shade and try to make sure

they do not eat table scraps,

as too much human food can cause stomach upset.

Keep a sharp eye out for bones,

because they can splinter if eaten.

Keep your pet on a leash, and

if your pet is crate trained, bring the crate along as a safe refuge.

• Never bring your pets to outdoor firework festivals or displays.

• Remember to keep a watchful eye on your

pet this Fourth of July weekend and

make sure to keep the name and

number of your veterinarian and

local animal emergency clinic on-hand in case of emergencies.

Always remember!

Ozabella said she is safe in her new toy tunnel!

Have a great weekend,
my friends!

I like looking at them from a distance
but not listening to them!
