BRIEF SUMMER SABBATICAL

Having maintained a weekly blog for more than three years, I am taking a brief summer sabbatical. Before signing off until July 19, please remember that animals tend to be negatively impacted by fireworks for days if not weeks to come. If you have pets and other animals, take extra time to ensure they are safe and comforted. Animal shelters and veterinarians can also benefit from your time and/or donations. After all, there is far more that unites us than divides us. Happy Summer!
