Check out this VERY COOL December 2023 article about the Envigo Beagle reunion here at Peaceful Acre- such a happy ending!!!! Envigo Beagles Happily Ever After

Our kennel room got an upgrade to blinds where our dogs cannot see out and react to clients coming into the backyard. 

Ms. Zoe is modeling part of an outfit for my clients dogs at my 4th of July photo day at SniffSpot Peaceful Acre. Plenty of dog-friendly cupcakes, more 4th of July-themed outfits for the dogs, a photo backdrop and cold drinks for the hoomans on Tuesday!! Your own private dog park for 30 minutes or more!!

Happy Fourth of July! This is a pretty good read that founder and owner of Sniffspot - David Adams - emailed me and other hosts.

 My dogs have a white noise machine in their kennel room, and the shades are drawn so they don’t see anything out there either.

Firework Advice for Independence Day
========================
We humans often think holiday fireworks are beautiful. Our pets have much more sensitive ears than we do, though — and many dogs are terrified of the loud explosions that mark the July 4th week. Here's what you can do to be prepared:

Identification: Make sure your dogs are wearing up-to-date ID tags with your contact information in case they get become lost. Even the most well-trained canine companion can be startled by fireworks!

Exercise: Try to exercise your dog before the firework celebrations start so you don't have to be outside during the loudest explosions.

Safe space: Create an indoor area, away from windows if possible, where your dog can feel secure. This might be their crate, a closet with comfortable blankets, or any other favorite spot. You can offer some enrichment toys and activities to keep them distracted.

White noise: Background music or white noise machines (even just fans) can help muffle some of the sounds for your pup's sensitive ears.
Start training for next year: If your dog really struggles with this year's fireworks, consider reaching out to a professional trainer to help you come up with a counterconditioning and desensitization plan before the next holiday. You might also consider working with your trusted veterinarian to explore small doses of medication.
