pet poison prevention

Pets don’t recognize household dangers, and their natural curiosity can lead to accidental poisoning. With thousands of cases reported each year, it’s important for pet owners to take steps to keep their animals safe.

quite toxic. The smallest nibble can be fatal to cats.

Keep medications locked away. Be sure that over-the-counter and prescription medications are locked away and cannot be accessed by curious pets. Even seemingly mild medications, like human pain relievers, can be toxic to pets.

Don’t leave out human food. Dogs, cats and other animals may be lured by the sweet temptation of their owners’ food. Many food scraps can be toxic to pets, including alcoholic beverages, chocolate, coffee beans, moldy foods, and raisins, among others. Keep the kitchen tidy and trash cans (indoor and outdoor) secured. Be careful with houseplants. While they may look beautiful and filter indoor air, certain houseplants can be toxic to pets if ingested. Before bringing any new plants into your home, check the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant Guide. Lilies may be pretty, but they also are

Be safe when spring cleaning. Keep pets out of rooms when they are being cleaned by chemical products or when using insecticides. Wait a day or more before letting pets back into the area. Store products beyond a pet’s reach when they’re not in use. With diligence, a significant percentage of pet poisonings can be prevented. Pet owners should do their homework about toxic items in and around their homes and do their best to keep pets safe. TF243793

America's 250th

Interesting facts about the United States

The United States celebrates its semiquincentennial in 2026. That means the nation has been around for 250 years. Since its inception, the country has grown to include 50 states. As Americans in all 50 of those states celebrate the country in 2026, it can be both educational and fun to learn some interesting facts about the United States.

Largest state: Alaska spans more than 665,000 square miles, making it the largest state by land mass in the entire country. In fact, Alaska is so big that it's larger in terms of square miles than the next three largest states (Texas, California and Montana) combined.

Smallest state: Checking in at 1,545 square miles, Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States. To put that in perspective, it's possible to squeeze 430 Rhode Islands into one Alaska.

Most densely populated state: According to July 2023 data from the United States Census Bureau, New Jersey is home to more than 9.2 million people across 7,354 square miles, making the Garden State the most densely populated in the U.S.

Least densely populated state: Given its aforementioned size and

vast amount of undeveloped land, Alaska's status as the least densely populated state should come as no surprise. According to the World Atlas, Alaska is home to 1.3 persons per square mile, which is considerably less than New Jersey's 1,298 people per square mile.

California's economy is massive. Even though it's part of the larger United States, California's economy is massive on its own. According to data from the International Monetary Fund and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released in 2025, California boasts the fourth largest economy in the world. Only the United States, China and Germany boast a larger economy than the state of California. And California is gaining ground, as it experienced a growth rate of 6 percent in 2024, which was better than the U.S. (5.3 percent), China (2.6 percent) and Germany (2.9 percent).

St. Augustine, Florida, has been around awhile. Florida is home to the longest continually inhabited European-founded city in the United States. In fact, St. Augustine, Florida, predates the U.S. by more than 200 years, having been founded by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain in 1565. TF264763

Increasing storage space is a common goal for homeowners and renters alike. Even with ample room, many people look for ways to maximize what they have. With self-storage use on the rise, some turn to outside units, while others optimize closets, garages, and basements. Common living areas can also offer valuable, often overlooked storage opportunities.

Living room/family room: Living rooms and family rooms are areas of the home where people spend many hours. These tend to be multifunctional spaces where people entertain, lounge and even enjoy movies or gaming. Possibilities in these living spaces that can create extra storage include furniture that serves

double-duty. For example, a storage ottoman adds decorative appeal but also can be filled with board games or books. Cabinetstyle TV stands may not be as streamlined as mounted versions, but they're ideal places to stash games, remote controls and other accessories.

Entryway: An entryway or mudroom can quickly succumb to clutter. When organizing such a space, think about the needs of the household. A storage bench will be a place where everyone can sit to put on shoes, and then stow footwear underneath when not in use. A wall-mounted rack can hold the current season's jackets or sweaters, as well as purses or backpacks for easy access. A shelf with some hooks

can store keys or hold a basket to store the daily mail.

Hallway and closet: Closet organization systems can be the unsung heroes in closets utilized by multiple members of the family. These customizeable components can be sized accordingly for the space, and then configured as needed with a balance of shelves and hanging racks. An out-of-the way nook or long hallway can be enhanced with a bookshelf to hold photo albums or that library that only continues to grow as new reading material is acquired. Homeowners can make common areas more functional with the addition of storage.
