My foster mom (Jet) says her papa “rehearsed” for disasters. For example, her dad had all the kids in the house practice getting out of their bedroom window if a fire blocked the exit of their house via the door. Have your parents done the same thing with your family? Hopefully so but it’s equally important that they rehearse safety practices for you, their beloved pets, by preparing for potential disasters that also impact you.
Most humans don’t know it but the ASPCA has some great tools to help them ensure the safety of their four-legged companions. Humans! If you aren’t using these tools, your pets’ health and life could be jeopardized. I realize humans are too busy to look for these wonderful tools so I’ve provided them for you:
The ASPCA Disaster Preparation Brochure: Safety Steps
Post a Rescue Alert Sticker in Window
Post a pet Rescue Alert Sticker in the windows of your home or camper to ensure firefighters, animal recovery volunteers and others know that you have a pet inside. You can order a free sticker by filling out a form at this link: http://www.aspca.org/about-us/free-aspca-stuff/free-pet-safety-pack.html.
So here’s today’s lesson: follow these simple safety practices and everyone you love will be safe throughout the spring and summer.
Okay, here’s the question of the day from Jingle who asked: I’m a dog. We rule. You said so. We like squeaky toys and fetching. This makes sense to me. Why do cats (there are two in my house) think a paper sack is a toy? This does not make sense to me.
Dear Jingle:
Look at this graphic and read the message at the bottom. This is my answer. I view cats, like men view women, too complicated to understand.
"And thus, dear students, we have arrived at the formula for understanding women".
