🐩⚾ Sugar’s Day at the Ballpark

Today Sugar enjoyed a beautiful afternoon at the Steeleville ball park cheering on Zoey during her softball game. From her comfy stroller seat, she watched all the action with curiosity and excitement.

Even though she’s a small pup, Sugar takes her role as a team supporter very seriously. She kept her eyes on the field, listened to the cheers from the stands, and soaked up the warm sunshine.

Trips like this remind us that dogs love being part of family moments. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a car ride, or watching a ball game, our pups are happiest when they’re included in our everyday adventures.

And thanks to her stroller, Sugar was able to enjoy the whole game comfortably while staying safe and relaxed.

🐾 Little dogs can have big adventures too.

⚠️ Mushrooms in Your Yard That Can Be Dangerous for Dogs

🍄 A Hidden Backyard Danger for Curious Dogs

After rain or humid weather, mushrooms can suddenly appear in yards, gardens, and along walking paths. While some mushrooms are harmless, others are extremely toxic to dogs, and even a small bite can cause serious illness.

Dogs often explore the world with their noses and mouths, so it’s important for pet owners to know which mushrooms to watch for.

⚠️ Most Dangerous Mushrooms for Dogs

☠️ Death Cap (Amanita phalloides)

This is one of the most poisonous mushrooms in the world.

Signs:

Greenish or yellowish cap

White gills underneath

Often grows in lawns and near trees

If eaten, it can cause severe liver failure in dogs and humans.

---

🍄 Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)

This is the famous red mushroom with white spots often seen in fairy-tale pictures.

Signs:

Bright red or orange cap

White dots on top

Thick white stem

In dogs it can cause:

Vomiting

Tremors

Seizures

Confusion or staggering

---

🍄 Panther Cap (Amanita pantherina)

Another dangerous Amanita species that sometimes grows in yards.

Signs:

Brown cap with white spots

White stem

Often mistaken for harmless mushrooms

It can cause severe neurological symptoms in pets.

---

🍄 Little Brown Mushrooms

Many small brown mushrooms grow in lawns and gardens.

They may look harmless but some contain dangerous toxins affecting the nervous system or liver.

Because they are difficult to identify, all small wild mushrooms should be treated as potentially toxic.

---

🐶 Signs Your Dog May Have Eaten a Toxic Mushroom

Watch for symptoms such as:

• Vomiting
• Drooling
• Weakness or wobbling
• Tremors or seizures
• Diarrhea
• Yellowing of the eyes or gums
• Extreme lethargy

⚠️ If you suspect your dog ate a mushroom, call your veterinarian immediately. Early treatment can save your dog’s life.

🌱 How to Keep Your Yard Safe

✔ Walk your yard after rain and remove mushrooms
✔ Dispose of mushrooms in a sealed bag
✔ Supervise dogs when they explore new areas
✔ Train dogs to avoid eating things from the ground
✔ Keep yards clean of rotting wood and debris where mushrooms grow

---

🐾 Remember:
Most dogs don’t know the difference between safe and dangerous mushrooms. When it comes to mushrooms in your yard, it’s always best to remove them quickly and assume they could be toxic.

Ryker and Woody's Backyard Adventure

Lucy’s Birthday Wish 🐾🎂
Our precious Lucy is 18 years young this year, and she already knows something special is coming in April. Every day she waits so patiently in her cozy little bed, her sweet cloudy eyes watching the world go by.
Lucy may move a little slower now, and her tiny tan face is dusted with the soft gray of wisdom, but her heart? Oh, her heart is still full of puppy love. 💛
When we whisper the word “birthday,” her ears perk just a bit, and her tail gives the gentlest little wag — like she’s saying, “I’m still here, and I’m still your girl.”
This April, we won’t just be celebrating another year…
We’ll be celebrating 18 beautiful years of love, loyalty, and tiny paw prints on our hearts.
✨ P.S. We’re currently working on a review of the perfect birthday gift for an elderly Chihuahua — stay tuned, because Lucy will be the official tester! 🐕🎁
Happy early birthday, sweet Lucy. We love you more than treats. 🐕💕🎂
