Please watch out for them and protect them. Move them safely in the direction they were headed!! I will stop traffic to help them.

This is just a reminder that turtles are crossing our roads at this time of year. Please give them a brake and, if possible, help them along. I'm not asking you to jeopardize your safety, but if you can, please assist. Make sure to nudge them in the direction they were headed, or your help could be in vain.
Whatever you do, please DO NOT remove the turtle from the area where you found it. Move it safely off the road in the same direction it was traveling.
Turtles everywhere thank you! 🐢💚

Not every human or animal likes fireworks like you do. So please be considerate and consider some compromise on how long your fire them off and how loud they are.

PET SAFETY REMINDER: Remember that asphalt (and concrete) gets HOT during the summer and can cause burns to pets’ feet. On a 77-degree day asphalt temps have measured as high as 125 degrees – and on an 87-degree day as high as 143 degrees (it’s already 88 today in central Iowa and temps are climbing, so even more dangerous)! Skin destruction can occur in as little as 1 minute on a 125-degree surface. To keep your pet safe, press the back of your hand firmly against the asphalt (or concrete) for 7 seconds before walking your dog on it. If it’s not comfortable for you, it could potentially harm your pup. Even better, walk your dog in the grass to not even risk paw damage.
