LIFESTYLE LETTER

AUGUST 2021 PUBLISHER

Kristi Dressler | kristi.dressler@lifestylepubs.com PUBLICATION DIRECTOR

Life would be incomplete without the love of our pets and children! AS A MOM OF 3 KIDS, 2 HORSES, AND 2 LARGE DOGS (WHICH WE OFTEN REFER TO AS OUR MINIATURE HORSES), I AM ALWAYS BUSY. My kids are 15, 12, and 9, and that means there is never a dull moment in our house. I am always on my toes! As challenging as this can be, I wouldn’t change anything about it - except to slow time down even if it’s just for a minute. I have to remind myself often that this is just a season in life which will never come again. So, I'm always on the lookout for fun activities, tips, and hacks that will make life run smoother, as well as inspiring stories that will motivate me to be the best mom that I can be (whether that’s to my kids or animals!) Regardless as to if your kids are fur babies, youngsters, teenagers, or young adults, we know that you will love this issue!

MAKING DELICIOUS MEMORIES

SUMMER IS SENTIMENTAL, SWEET, AND SOMETHING TO SAVOR. Why not create a tradition that mirrors those characteristics, too? The summer can be so fast and rampant. Time slips away. Moments to actually cool down and enjoy our loved ones can be far and few between if we’re not careful. So, let’s flip a switch. A great way to create delicious memories is with a homemade icecream sandwich. Invite the Cupcake Gypsies to your door and pair their creations with your own. This local bakery’s sweet cookies combined with our decadent homemade ice cream is a recipe for endless family fun! Through laughter, some sugar, and messy hugs amidst melting ice cream, a beautiful memory is sure to occur. Grab your kiddos, channel your inner gradeschooler, grab some cookies from Cupcake Gypsies (be sure to order ahead at www.thecupcakegypsies.com/ contact), and make some summer memories.

Keeping Your P e t s H e a lt h y FOOD AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS THAT ARE TOXIC TO PETS

IT'S ALWAYS SCARY WHEN OUR PETS EAT THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T. It's worse when we don't know for sure if what they ate is toxic. Throughout the year, many pets visit the Four Seasons Veterinary Specialists’ emergency room due to toxin ingestions. Some will require ongoing treatment and monitoring by a veterinarian due to organ damage. Thankfully there are resources to help you identify those dangers beforehand. We suggest you put these numbers in your phone: The ASPCA Poison Control Line is staffed 24/7 and can be reached at 888-426-4435. The Pet Poison Helpline is also staffed 24/7 and can be reached at 855-764-7661. For identifying ingested plants, you can send photos and information to the Plant & Fungus ID Facebook Group at (www.facebook.com/ groups/554451004697420) and they will provide information to you. For EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY, you can reach out to the Emergency Plant & Fungus group at (www.facebook.com/ groups/144798092849300) for assistance identifying suspicious plants that a pet has ingested. They do truly amazing work to help pet owners and veterinarians identify and appropriately treat animals who've ingested toxic plants or fungus, or to alleviate the fear.
