Dayze misunderstood the purpose of long leather gardening gloves and decided they were a snack instead of safety equipment. Not the little wrist length ones, we’re talking the full, past-the-elbows gauntlet edition.

After chewing and swallowing multiple pieces of leather, Dayze needed some expert help from Dr. Marchewitz, who was able to successfully remove all the glove fragments. We’re happy to report that Dayze is recovering well and on the mend!

Today’s reminder: if your dog is suspiciously quiet and your gardening gear has vanished, it may be time for a house search.

🚨Larimer County has confirmed its first rabies case of 2026🚨

Rabies is rare, but it is always serious for both pets and people. This is a good reminder to make sure your pets are current on their rabies vaccinations and to avoid contact with wildlife, especially bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes.

If your pet has had contact with a wild animal, was bitten, or is acting unusually after a possible exposure, contact your veterinarian immediately. Signs of rabies can include behavioral changes, aggression, excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing, weakness, or paralysis.

Here are a few simple ways to help keep your pets safe:
• Keep rabies vaccines up to date
• Supervise pets outdoors when possible
• Do not approach sick or injured wildlife
• Report unusual wildlife behavior to local authorities

If you believe your pet may have been exposed and need urgent care, our emergency team is here 24/7.

The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment is reporting the first confirmed rabid animal in Larimer County this year. A bat found in the open space
