Everyone deserves a caring home. Here’s a tip on how you can create a safe environment for your senior dog-companion. Look around your home for anything your furry friend could trip over, become stuck in, or have difficulty navigating, and create clear, open pathways to help prevent accidents. Remove clutter from walkways, secure loose cords and cables, and block off narrow spaces where your dog friend could become trapped. Hardwood, tile, laminate, and concrete floors can be difficult for older dog-folk to walk on safely. Therefore, placing non-slip rugs, rubber-backed mats, or yoga mats along frequently traveled paths can provide better traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls. If your furry friend has advanced cognitive dysfunction or mobility challenges, keep their living area on one level and use baby gates to limit access to stairs or ramps. Open any door that swings inward slowly to ensure your dog-companion is not behind it. With a few thoughtful modifications, you can create a safer, more comfortable environment that supports your dog-family member’s mobility, confidence, and quality of life as they age.
The joy ship is about to leave the dock; let’s make sure we’re all onboard since the joke of the day called, “Rain, Rain, Go Away” is straight ahead.
Two coworkers were standing by the office window, staring out at a relentless rainstorm.
“Dave, look at that storm. It’s been pouring nonstop for three hours straight. Do you think it’s ever going to end?”
“Not until our boss sends the rain a calendar invite and reminds it that overtime needs prior approval.”
?!
