This morning’s #sniffari featured mud flats along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at low tide. Maximum sniffability! #DogsOfCoSo
Good morning to the undercaffeinated humans who are still ready to head out the door with their big mutts. #DogsOfCoSo
Mr. Tan Man slept most of yesterday after his senior exam, rabies vaccine, Lyme-lepto vaccine, Pro-Heart injection, nail trim, blood draw, new medication, and spinal laser treatment. Today, he’s perky and energetic and ready to head out on his #sniffari and soak up the sun. I thought this was a bit much for one day, but his veterinarian is PAWESOME and has been taking good care of him, so I trust her judgment. #DogsOfCoSo
Good morning to all the big mutts of #CoSo and their humans who are up before dawn making sure that they live their best lives. #DogsOfCoSo
Mr. Tan Man managed to get a half-mile long morning #sniffari despite having to dodge standing water everywhere after the latest rain from the remnants of Debby. #DogsOfCoSo
Mr. Tan Man is probably a bit aggrieved to have missed his usual morning #sniffari walk, but given the intermittent downpours and the standing water, conditions have not been conducive. #DogsOfCoSo
Worried that your dog isn’t staying hydrated in the unrelenting summer heat? Little Miss Attitude loves a bit of low sodium broth, nice and cold from the fridge, straight or diluted. #DogsOfCoSo
I have made several wonderful friends in the course of my years of volunteering. While the human ones mean a lot to me, they can’t hold a candle to Little Miss Attitude. I was her “handler” at an adoption event for the animal shelter where I volunteered. It was love at first sight for me, Mr. Carolina, and Mr. Tan Man. She’s been my faithful sidekick for ten “pawsome” years. #DogsOfCoSo #AdoptDontShop
A cloudy morning #sniffari for Little Miss Attitude along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. #DogsOfCoSo
Trying to keep your dog hydrated in this unrelenting heat and humidity? Little Miss Attitude is a huge fan of low sodium chicken broth, either nice and cold from the fridge or mixed with water. The #DogsOfCoSo deserve the very best!
Little Miss Attitude has some timely advice for the #DogsOfCoSo and their hardworking humans. If you’re worried that the summer heat is taking a toll on your dog’s hydration, try adding some low sodium chicken broth to their water dish. Dog tested, dog approved.
If you’re worried that your dog isn’t drinking enough water in this extreme heat, some nice cold chicken broth from the fridge - diluted with water - will do the trick every time. Little Miss Attitude tested and approved. #DogsOfCoSo
Mr. Tan Man’s morning #sniffari adds a tactile element now that his favorite “tickle grass” has regrown since the winter pruning. #DogsOfCoSo
A happy National Coffee Day to those who celebrate including the hardworking early risers catering to the #DogsOfCoSo who are slogging through the dog days of summer.
Wishing a fantastic #TongueOutTuesday to all the #DogsOfCoSo this morning. Come, sit, and stay… hydrated!
Time to add a soundtrack to the morning #sniffari as Mr. Tan Man sniffs out two very patriotic #cicadas on our way home. #DogsOfCoSo
July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year at animal shelters around America. Terrified dogs who bolt as fireworks go off or escape as owners are busy partying are brought in, scanned for microchips, and in the best case, reunited with grateful owners. Others, like my Shadow, languished for weeks before being adopted. PLEASE ensure that your dog has a collar with a rabies tag and ID and/or a microchip, and that the chip database is updated. Check shelters if your dog escapes. #DogsOfCoSo
My annual fireworks admonition…
