Even on vacation, I manage to find cats that want love. Our bed and breakfast had two cats of the Himalayan variety. So sweet, so floofy, and much needed after so many days of cat withdrawal.

I love Torties. After you have one, you can’t not want another. After losing my baby girl, Minnie is nice to visit and get my fix. I hope I find another Tortie again.

Here in Michigan, the weather changes on a dime. Not unlike most of the mid west, our weather changes dramatically and continuously. The last few years we have started to experience wildfire smoke. Not from fires in our own state, but from Canada!

These fires are MASSIVE, eating thousands of miles of trees and vegetation. It’s not brought on by neglect, but from our ever changing planetary weather patterns and made made issues. But that’s not why I’m posting today.

Today, I want to bring some awareness to all pet owners about this smoke. It is VERY hazardous for not just us, but for our furry four legged friends as well. Some people are used to putting their dog or cat out for the day or evening and not thinking anything else of it. Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem, but in these kinds of conditions, any amount of prolonged time outside can be hazardous long term. Everyone generally remembers to protect themselves, but many forget that our pets are also breathing the same stuff.

Durning thee times, it is of most recommendation to keeps all pets inside as much as possible, to limit their outside exposure. Even though the temps are coming up, those without ac might be temped to open all the windows and get some air moving. While, I get it, durning these kinds of days, finding other ways to cool your home is very much recommended. Fans, dehumidifiers help, cold water. In the battle of hot and toxic, try to beat the toxic first, then worry about the heat. At least, durning these next few days.
