FOR THE ❤️ OF DOGS

🐕️ My FaceBook feed is filled - DAILY!!! - with lost and found dogs and it breaks my heart (and I know it does yours too)! Here are some quick & easy things you can do to help get your pet returned promptly or to help someone return your pet to you:

  • Get your animal microchipped. This can be done at any vet or at places like PetsMart.

  • If your animal is already microchipped, confirm your contact information connected to the chip is correct.

  • Buy and use a dog harness like this or this or this instead of a collar. A harness is better for their neck and makes it easier to catch your dog.

  • Attach a name/information tag to the harness like this or this or this.

  • If your dog already has a tag, be sure the information on it is correct - a name tag with a disconnected phone number is useless.

  • And if your dog is a real escape artist and repeat offender, a GPS tracker like this may be a great option for both of you!

🏈 FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS SCHEDULE

🌭 Have you tried a Game Dog? I don’t know why, but food just tastes better at the football game! I’m still dreaming about the shave ice I had a few weeks ago when the team played Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale.

💸 Bonus: The concessions stands are run by the teams’ Booster Clubs (aka the fiercest moms (and dads) on the planet!!!) and your purchases go toward helping financially support the team! Win-win!

📆 You can access this week’s game schedule via the link below. Note, 2 teams have games on THURSDAY (that’s tonight!)!!!

THIS & THAT

  • 🍩 Have you heard of Too Good to Go? Their mission is to fight food waste. You can get discounted goodies from local eateries like Coldwater Coffeehouse & Bakery. The more users there are for the app, the more local restaurants will get involved, which means more deals for us. Spread the word!

  • 🐦️ Anyone else have issues with birds hitting the windows of your house? It used to be a daily occurrence over here. I ordered these window decals and they seem to help. Hasn’t completely eliminated the problem but it has greatly reduced the frequency.

  • 👃This dry weather has come with an unpleasant side effect for me - frequent nose bleeds. Luckily I discovered Nampons, which are individually wrapped and easy to carry with me on a walk or in my purse. They contain a special clotting agent to stop nose bleeds fast. Tip: Cut them in half and get twice as many uses out of the package. I researched the cheaper alternatives, but found these to be better overall.
