Pet Separation Anxiety
Should we be worried? Yes! There are many things we should do in advance to ease and transition back into the world of school and work. There are things we can do to get an idea of how our pets react when we leave. Pay attention to their eating patterns, dedication times, and attention they are spending on you. Try a pet nanny cam! There are a few brands out there, but our favorite is PetCube. Click here to read more about PetCubeSafe places for pets are so important. Especially for dogs, crate training is so important, so whatever you do, just don’t put your dog in a crate and leave. Theres more than that! If you are going to leave your animal, be sure to leave them with stimuli and allotted time for potty breaks. Maura says exercise is important for both you and your furry friend!If you need to unfortunately need to re-home your pet due to COVID-19, financial reasons, or others, click here to find all the information you need.
Patti Dawson

Serenity and Your Pets
Dallas Dogrrr is doing, good, but is in need of donations. They are strong, but could always us the help of other! The best way to help Dallas Dogrrr besides donations is through volunteering! They always need help transporting animals. If you have space in your home, fostering an animal can make a world of difference. Fostering an animal opens up space for Dallas Dogrrr to rehabilitate those in need. Let’s all pitch in and do our job to keep the earth serene!Pets help us be serene. Even through just petting an animal, our blood pressure can be lowered! Animals allow us peace, so don’t be afraid of pet adoption. Dogs pull us out of our recursing, reoccurring thoughts and bring us to the present. Patti got a dog and named it Serenity. Many people want her to be euthanized because they are worried about her quality of life. Patti is here to tell us that Serenity is so happy to be alive. Serenity was so forgiving to humans even though it was humans that wronger her. We need to look at animals and realize that they will not be mad t us, so embrace them.
