Mariah writes:

Dear Miss Gracie,

Honeybear is a 21 month old pup who is a Forsyth County
Humane Society rescue. He was found in a barn with no
sibs and no mother - so young he had to be hand-fed by
a human. We think he's maybe Golden Retriever-Irish
Wolfhound breeding. He just loves all doggies (any
age or size), all kitties (also any age or size), and
all humans, with no preferences. He's great on a
leash, except when he really wants to go investigate
something (usually another doggie). Then he's like
holding onto a freight train. He's a great member of
my family! I'll bring him to introduce you all sometime
soon. MM

Thank you so much for your good work, Miss Mariah. Harriet and I - and ALL of our animal loving friends salute you and appreciate your good work helping the strays and promoting spaying and neutering so that we can have less abandoned, neglected and over-populated puppies, dogs, cats and kittens.

It's Flea and TICK Season! North Georgia Mountains

There ain't no BUGS on ME!

With the pretty spring weather in these beautiful North Georgia Mountains- brings all those "bugs"- and the WORST are ticks and fleas (on You or ME!)

Ticks carry Lyme Disease to you humans- so be sure to check your dog or cat DAILY for "critters"- especially if they lounge and sleep in the bed or in the couch with you (like I do!)

(Lyme Disease is VERY bad- and causes a serious muscular disease- similar to M.S.)

My Mom got me some very effective "Zodiac" brand Flea and Tick Shampoo. She was very careful around my eyes and was very sure to only leave it on for 3-4 minutes, because it's strong medicine that soaks right into the skin. (Plus, I had the irresistible urge to lick at it on my muzzle).

After I was all dried and combed- she applied the monthly "Cutter's Flea and Tick" treatment. A few dabs between my eyes, ears and under my chin- then a long stroke down my back!

Another good product for Tick and Ear Mites- is Sargeant's "Vetscription". It's water based and it smells like baby powder! Yum!

It sure feels good to have no bugs on me!

And Mom appreciates it, too.

So take your furry friends and head out to PetSmart - or any other "Pet Friendly" shopping spot for animals.

You will be glad you did! So will Your HUMANS!!!

Enjoy the Spring Weather !

Gracie

P.S. The weather is getting warmer- and if your pet likes to takes rides in the car (like I LOVE to do) PLEASE don't leave them in the vehicle too long, park in the shade and remember to crack the windows!

It gets so hot so quickly in cars and trucks- plus we have fur coats!

The heat can "bake" our little brains very quickly.

So please- take care of your special passengers! They are depending on YOU!
