So sweet

This sweet boy came in as a Fuzzy Friends Rescue complimentary neuter this morning. What we expected to be a routine surgery became a little more involved. He had an umbilical hernia along with a retained deciduous (baby) tooth. Nothing our fantastic team can't correct to get him ready for his forever home. We love having the opportunity to help get these babies adoption ready!! 🐕🐈

❄️16. Have manual can opener available.

❄️17. Buy shelf-stable milk or powdered milk if needed.

❄️18. Freeze a few water bottles to act as freezer “ice packs.”

❄️19. Keep a cooler ready to move fridge food outside if power is out and temps are below freezing.

❄️20. Avoid stocking large amounts of perishables right before the storm.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

HEAT AND HOME SAFETY

❄️21. Gather extra blankets, sleeping bags, and warm layers.

❄️22. If using a fireplace, confirm chimney is clear and have dry wood.

❄️23. Never run generators or grills inside garages or homes.

❄️24. Test smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors.

❄️25. Have at least one flashlight per person plus spare batteries.

❄️26. Use battery lanterns instead of candles when possible.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

VEHICLE AND TRAVEL

❄️27. Plan to avoid driving once freezing rain begins.

❄️28. Bridges, overpasses, and shaded roads freeze first.

❄️29. Keep in the car: blanket, water, snacks, phone charger, gloves.

❄️30. Replace old wiper blades and top off washer fluid.

❄️31. Park away from large tree limbs when possible.

❄️32. Assume flights and travel may be disrupted for days.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

❄️35. Use surge protectors for TVs and computers.

❄️36. Know where warming centers may be in your parish.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

PETS AND LIVESTOCK

❄️40. Provide outdoor animals with unfrozen water sources.

❄️41. Add straw or blankets to outdoor shelters.

❄️42. Keep leashes and carriers accessible in case of evacuation.

MEDICAL AND SPECIAL NEEDS

❄️43. Keep a written list of medications and dosages.

❄️44. Store a small first-aid kit with thermometer and basic meds.

❄️45. Have backup batteries for medical devices.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

PROPERTY PROTECTION

❄️47. Move vehicles away from trees or power lines.

❄️48. Secure outdoor furniture and lightweight items.

❄️49. Avoid trimming trees during the storm—do it beforehand.

❄️50. Photograph property for insurance before conditions worsen.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

DURING THE STORM

❄️51. Do not drive unless absolutely necessary.

❄️52. Assume downed lines are live and dangerous.

❄️53. Use only safe indoor heating methods.

❄️54. Check on neighbors, especially elderly, by phone if possible.

❄️55. Report outages to utility companies rather than 911 unless it’s an emergency.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

AFTER THE STORM

❄️56. Walk carefully—ice may refreeze overnight.

❄️57. Check pipes for leaks as temperatures rise.

❄️58. Throw out refrigerated food if above 40°F for more than 4 hours.

❄️59. Avoid DIY electrical repairs around downed lines.

❄️60. Be patient—restoring power after ice can take several days.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

KEY REALITY FOR SOUTHERN ICE EVENTS

❄️A quarter inch of ice can bring scattered outages.

❄️Half an inch can cripple travel and power for days.

❄️Ice is more dangerous than snow for the Deep South

At home hair care is the best way to start your dog off on a road to success in a salon setting. Routines like bathing and brushing your dog at home go a long way to help them ease into the grooming process and it is a great bonding experience. These combos are great for in between grooms as well. Our employees are available to educate you on the proper steps to achieve this. We are running a special until the end of February, 15% off at checkout when you combine three grooming products. Gotta love a good sale. ❤️We are also doing 20% off treats,collars,and leashes. Come spoil your baby while supplies last.
P.S. we have a new shipment of cookies coming in soon so I’ll keep you updated on that. Have a great weekend everyone!!
