There’s no other love like the love of brothers, and our 2 oldest Sanctuary residents, Calvin and Hobbes, are both a wonderful example of brotherly love. They have their snitty little moments, like most siblings do, but at the end of the day they truly love each other.
For those not familiar with Calvin & Hobbes story, you can read all about their arrival to our Sanctuary at the following link: https://www.pawsgivemepurpose.com/meet-calvin-and-hobbes/
There is absolutely nothing like watching these two let go and feel free and happy for the first time in their lives. At 21 and 22 years of age, these boys truly amaze us with their zest and love for life. Just watching Calvin and Hobbes enjoying every moment of the day truly inspires all of us to be better human beings.
As temperatures soar into the 100’s here in Southern New Jersey, it’s imperative we keep all our Sanctuary residents cool and safe – it’s simply too dangerous for our seniors to be outside.
Summer really is a terrific time to be a dog owner. It lets you run, swim, and play with your dog in nicer weather than any other time of the year. However, summer also brings unique risks to your dog’s health that you should keep in mind throughout the season – especially during these major heat waves.
Short trips to the potty are best, long walks are not advised as even the sidewalks can become dangerous by getting too hot for their paws. NEVER leave your dog in the car, and NEVER leave your dog outside all day! A dog can die of heat stroke, their bodies heat up much more quickly than ours.
Even if your dog is out briefly they will get hot and a frosty treat may be just what they need to cool down. Calvin and Hobbes are relaxing indoors today thinking about digging into some yummy frozen treats today – their favorite is Rita’s vanilla custard. There are many recipes available for homemade frozen goodies on our website, be sure to check them out.
Stay safe out there, and thank you for giving us the ability to do what we do.
