Your Pet and Its New Home

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:39:39 -0500

Your Pet and Its New Home

Tips to help adjust your pet to its new home

Although you may be happy about moving to a new home, chances are your pet may become stressed. The experts at the Humane Society of the United States have thought a lot about this and here's what they suggest.

Cats

Confine Spike to one room while you are getting the new home in shape. Familiarize the room with her favorite toys, food bowls and litter box. And while you're at it, consider making her an indoor pet--she'll live longer and happier.

Dogs

Getting Spot's familiar furniture in place as quickly as possible will settle him down. Be sure to take him on a few long enjoyable walks to get to know the neighborhood. And if you have to be away, arrange for a new sitter/walker or even a care center.

It’s Not Over ‘til It’s Over! 6 More Weeks of Winter!

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:59:01 -0500

It’s Not Over ‘til It’s Over!
6 More Weeks of Winter!

According to Punxsutawney Phil, who saw his shadow on Groundhog Day, there are six more weeks of winter ahead. With the potential for cold and inclement weather on the horizon, it is an opportune time to make sure the interior and exterior of your home are adequately prepared.

If you haven’t done so already, spend some time taking care of these winterizing tasks:

Heating a home is expensive, and you can keep costs down by caulking any cracks around windows and doors that let cold air in and heat escape. You should also be sure to clean or replace furnace filters to help your heating system run more efficiently and effectively.
Clear all debris from your gutters, even if you have a covered gutter system. Any leaves or other materials left in the gutters can freeze and damage the gutters themselves, and could also force freezing water up under your shingles and damage the roof.
Be prepared with everything you need in the event of a big snow storm. This includes tools for removing snow, such as a snow blower with a full tank of gas, shovels and a melting agent such as rock salt. No less important are items like extra blankets, warm clothing, and enough food and water to sustain your family in case of a few days of isolation.
