Clocks Spring Ahead! Time to Adjust Pet Medication Schedules and Other Seasonal Tips

Image
It's that time again to spring ahead into spring! Sunday morning at 2 AM we welcome Daylight Saving Time (DST) here and in many areas of the world...which means...we will have "longer" lighter days to have more fun doing things outdoors with our pets! Daylight Saving Time is also the time of year I like to reshare with everyone some very important seasonal health and safety tips: PET MEDICATIONS TIME : If your pet is on specifically timed medications (like our furangel Epi-Husky Gibson who was on meds for Ca nine Epilepsy that he had to take 12 hours apart), you can help reset your pet's internal clock for these medications by staggering them by a half-hour starting on Sunday.

My daughter had wanted a Siberian Husky for a very long time, and when she turned 17, and after years of caring for our adopted dog, Chelsey, and dwarf bunny, Sugar, we decided the time was right for her to pick out her own dog, her Husky. Once back in the car, cuddled in my daughter's arms, we began to make the trip back home, when this little black and white fluff ball with bright blue eyes climbed up my daughter's shoulders and made herself comfy in the back window of our car and slept all the way home!  Harley is gorgeous, strong, sassy, and (too) smart! She has fully accept...

Chasing Shadows on a Sunset Run

A beautiful 36℉ evening with a glorious sunset was the perfect setting for a nice run for our FiveSibes Pupsters:  Chloe, Wolf, and Bandit, as they chased the shadows and each other! Wolf's first run since his surgery, and he sure enjoyed it! What a perfect ending to a sunny Sunday. "Sometimes you gotta run wild  and free."   ~Unknown Author Shadow Shot Sunday 2
