Hopeful Henry: Spaying and neutering your pets saves lives
Submitted by paula on Tue, 02/23/2016 - 8:22am
In honor of World Spay Day I wanted to share some myths and facts regarding spaying or neutering your pets with the hope it will encourage you to make the correct decision and have your furry family members spayed or neutered (females get spayed and males get neutered).
MYTH: It's better to have one litter before spaying a female pet.
FACT: Every litter counts.
Medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier.
MYTH: I want my children to experience the miracle of birth.
Hopeful Henry: Be a responsible pet owner
Submitted by paula on Mon, 02/15/2016 - 10:09pm
Ask Henry:
It’s Responsible Pet Owners Month so I wanted to share my top ten things you need to do to be a responsible pet owner.
1) Being a responsible pet owner starts before you even get a pet. Make sure you pick a breed that fits with your lifestyle. Do you live in an apartment? If so I wouldn’t rush out and get a Great Dane. Always consider adopting from a shelter, there are so many animals looking for their forever homes. If you must go with a breeder make sure they are reputable!

Submitted by paula on Wed, 02/03/2016 - 8:39am
With lots of snow we are getting lots of visitors to the slopes around the basin, and a lot of these visitors bring their dogs to enjoy the vacation with the family. Sadly some of these pups get lost which is extra stressful as they are not in a familiar location. We recently have had two visiting dogs who went missing for over a week, one was found, injured but is going to be okay, while the other was found but the extreme outside conditions got the better of his and sadly he passed the night he was found.

Ask Hopeful Henry: Silly or Serious?
Submitted by paula on Fri, 01/22/2016 - 3:49pm
Dear Henry,
Just curious, my cat has started sticking his tongue out, I mean a lot. He will just sit and stick his tongue out at me. It’s cute but should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Arnold
Dear Arnold.
I’m actually glad you brought this up. While yes it’s cute, I had a kitty with this habit. While some cats just do this for no apparent reason my concern with your kitty is that it is new behavior. If you cat was doing this its whole life and your veterinarian had seen no signs of trouble then I would say you just have a silly kitty.

Hopeful Henry: Christmas and Holiday pet tips
Submitted by paula on Sat, 12/05/2015 - 12:47am
First lets tackle the “to eat a Christmas Tree or to not eat a Christmas tree” issue. The tree itself is not particularly dangerous if a few needles are ingested, it will most like come right up via kitty or doggie vomiting. The bigger concern is the stagnant tree water as it is a breeding ground for bacteria and your pet could end up with nausea or diarrhea should they drink it. Speaking of the Christmas Tree make sure you securely anchor your Christmas tree so it doesn't tip and fall, causing possible injury to your pet.

Dozens of Skyland residents evacuated during fire drill
Submitted by paula on Mon, 06/08/2015 - 10:55pm
Every year, South Lake Tahoe fire agencies prepare to fight fires around the basin but they rarely get to practice evacuations of residents.
That opportunity came on Monday when the Tahoe Douglas Fire District and Skyland Fire Adapted Community executed an inter-agency wildfire evacuation drill in the Skyland neighborhood.
The drill simulated a real evacuation event to give residents the opportunity to practice evacuating from their homes and getting to the designated safe zone.
Wildfires: Are you prepared?
Submitted by paula on Tue, 05/12/2015 - 9:09pm
When a wildland fire occurs, will you be ready? Preparedness begins by making a plan for your home and business. Consider the local hazards and what you can do to reduce them. For wildland fires your plan must include defensible space, and how to evacuate if authorities ask you to leave the area. Evacuation plans should include primary and alternate (if available) routes to safety, as well as how to contact friends and loved ones. Establish a rally point at a known location and know each others’ telephone numbers in case your cell phone contacts are not working.
