Wow! A Whole NEW month! It's April and its going to be FUN!! As always, April's badges are available at a smaller size (300x300).
First up is the April Calendar
There are LOADS of things happening:
APRIL IS CANINE FITNESS MONTH
April is Canine Fitness Month and it is to remind us how prevalent obesity is and for us to keep our dog active and fit. Nutmeg is young (she is now 14 months old) and furry energetic. When our human bro is working out of town, Mom has trouble getting her exercised as much as she would like. She LOVES to chase Alex on his one wheel, she loves to go to work with Alex at the mill and play chase with Ruger.
Ruger sure looks like Cinnamon, doesn't he? He is Cinnamon's Brother's Grandson.
APRIL IS PET FIRST AID AWARENESS MONTH
During this season, many families and pet parents are able to enjoy the
outdoors with their pets with activities, such as hiking, camping, and
outdoor picnics! National Pet First Aid Awareness Month highlights the
importance of first aid. With all the physical activity and outdoor
adventure packed in the season of spring, there will always be the risk
of accidents and unwanted injuries—so it’s always good to be prepared.
So now that you know about National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, Do You have a First Aid Kit?
Some tools to keep in your pet first aid kit include:
- Absorbent gauze pads and rolls
- Adhesive tapes
- Cotton balls
- First aid scissors (with blunt end)
- Tweezers
- Disposable gloves
- Antiseptic solution or wipes
- OTC antibiotic ointment
- Alcohol
- Syringe or eye dropper
- Digital thermometer
- Emergency contact information

Happy April Fools Day!

ReplyDeleteYeah, far to chilly yet for a dip... but you know, each to their own! Golly, the year is already a quarter done. eeeeekkkk... hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
oh yes... ruger is the mirror image of cinny...
ReplyDeleteRuger does look so much like Cinnamon. Nutmeg is crazy wanting to swim in that cold water, but she looks like she was really enjoying herself.
ReplyDeleteLots of good info there! #1 and I have been on a fitness kick this past week and we plan on continuing our two long walks a day!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,

Dear Marv, as a dignified girl kitty in a pristine grey onesie, I would nevfur evfur git in water. It would surely ruin my "do" fur the rest of the day. Let alone having to lick myself dry, mol. Lynn snagged a couple badges and we will use them later on. I got out on my catio Sat and Sun morn, but not today as it is back to freezing temps. No April fool there, just mother nature acting up. I am sure my BFF Jo Jo would not take her furs into the river either. Precious
