Really cool phenomenon this morning. We got about 4 inches of rain where I live last night or yesterday and everything is just saturated, including our wood fences. Got lucky enough this morning to see this occurring just with the right light and the right background on a fence and I'm going to share it with you. Just amazing !

Many of the houses that we take care of have swimming pools and right now a lot of the really plants that are beautiful around these are dropping lots of little flowers. This is one of the tips I used to get all of that little debris into the basket versus pulling the pool filter up directly, and you still have quite a bit that can get sucked down into the system. Hope everyone stays hydrated and stay safe with this heat.

Was just in the clients yard, and noticed that the folks that had trimmed everything up for them that we could left several fronds on the ground from a Sago Palm. Took a video so Folks could see what these things look like they do not look like something a dog or cat with you but I tell you they are lethal they create liver failure and the pet goes through a horrible death and sometimes it can take months. When I first started working at the vet, I had no idea this was so horrible to pets until I started seeing them coming in with the signs of chewing this, so just wanted to make everyone aware and hope you have a great weekend .

Had a ball with this pitbull I was walking this afternoon. We found some really fun things to change up our pace a little bit while going through the park you can do this with all kinds of things you find in the woods etc. anything to give your pup a little different experience.

Here in the south, we have a terrible problem with ants getting into our pets food when it is outside . Here’s a great tip works every time ! Take a larger dish or flat plate fill it with water put the other dish on top of it and create a moat ants cannot get to it. It works every time. hope everyone has a blessed day!

Seems like I’m always finding these guys on the road this was a little different today because it’s a snapping turtle. Started crossing a four-lane road head started crossing a four-lane road, didn’t have any chance of surviving. Spun it around using its tail and then just wiggle my fingers and it just followed. Realized it didn’t have a chance going back into the woods so relocated it to the closest Reservoir that actually held water during this horrible drought. Big thank you to all the drivers that I stopped while I was getting this baby off the road they were all so patient. Hope everybody has a blessed day

 For all the folks that have swimming pools in their backyards. This time of year is so hard for all the little animals. we have lots of babies in our yards, small birds that are learning how to fly, in this case a small turtle, snakes just a lot of animals get stuck in swimming pools and they drown, many times get stuck in the skimmers. One of the things that we do with our pet sitting service is check the skimmers at least once a day or twice a day and clean them and that’s what happened today when I found this little turtle. Amazing how many frogs etc. that can be saved if we just would check these once or twice a day versus waiting for your pool person to clean them out once a week. It’s also better on the pool system as well, so hopefully this year we can save more of these little guys. I released this turtle in a pond that was within a quarter of a mile of the house should you get something like this in your skimmer you just try to put them back as close as you can to your yard but where they’ll be safe. It is the environment they are accustomed too. I hope everyone has a blessed weekend.
