For The Furry Friends We Love So Much

Dog lovers, cat lover, for all of our furry friend lovers here at Arboretum Apartments,

dog in animal shelter

Thanks to your love Bennie has found a home ^_^

We know you can’t adopt every animal that needs a home.  You might have the compassion for it but there are lots of other things that you could do to help.  Your local animal shelter is always looking for support and here is how:

1)  Do you have any old blankets?  Donate them. You can gather up all of your old towels or bedding and take them to the animal shelter.  They can use them for baths and bedding for the animals while they wait for their forever homes.

2)  Donations via gifts.  Do you have an anniversary or birthday coming up? Rather than accepting gifts, you could ask that people write checks made out the local ASPCA or shelter in your area.  Their is a  tax-deductible on most donations plus, the karma points you receive are way better than any cheep neck tie, boxed DVD series or candle.

3)  While you socialize start a donation drive. When you go out to hang with your friends or when they com over to the apartments let them know about what you are doing  for the animals in neighborhood.  You don’t have to be a pest just ask if they’d like to contribute with your purpose.  Ensure them that you will do it with their participation or not.  This will give them confidence of your successful venture.

Ask around the office, your church or the here at the property for donations.  Every donation doesn’t have to be money.  Often times people have food that their pets can’t or won’t eat, toys they don’t play with, crates they’ve outgrown and collars that no longer fit.  All of these things can be donated to the local animal shelter.

Preston Animal Hospital is only minutes away and you can get started today.

Hopefully this message has met you in the right time.  Share us with your friends.

I couldn’t even begin to tell you all of the great features that it has.  But that’s what the video is for.  I will say this though, get your free account today and have a great weekend.

4 Unique Ways To Stay Cool In The Summer Heat

Filed under Health & Fitness

The summer time is one of the most anticipated times of the year. But we all know that with the excitement and fun opportunities to play outside also come the summer heat.

I know you’re tough but the truth is that if you don’t protect yourself properly the consequences could be fatal. Our best advice is to think cool thoughts. In conjunction with that here are a few unique ways to stay cool this summer.

The best thing that you could do is to stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water is critical. You won’t know that you have become dehydrated until you are dehydrated. I’ve also seen people with large shaded hats or umbrella’s. That’s a great idea!drinking-water-in-sun

Eat for the season. This bit of advice can help you if you are looking to manage your weight a little more also. If it’s 97 degrees outside you will feel very uncomfortable if you go to a buffet and have a plate of turkey, mac and cheese, dressing, candy yams, greens, a glass of diet coke, a biscuit and some chocolate cake. Use your energy in a better way and eat light. You might consider eating lighter meals more frequently throughout the day. Eat for fuel not to get full.

Take time during the day to just relax. Find some air conditioning and take it in. Breath easy and let your body feel the cool breeze. You can’t take the A/C outside with you but you can bring the cool thoughts along.

If you do all of these things remember this. Don’t engage in conversations about how hot the weather is. You’ll just think it’s hotter and hotter. The way you think about the situation will have a big impact on how you deal with it.
