In California, it's not unusual to get some pretty hot temps in September, and last weekend was no exception. LilPeaPod took Samson camping for the first time, and not only was he totally overwhelmed with nature, it was also super hot. It's pretty well known that
smooshies don't do well with heat or swimming, so taking a dip in the lake was out of the question.

As if the ominous name didn't clue you in, death caps are very dangerous. This species is responsible for the majority – 95 percent! – of fatal mushroom poisoning of people and pets.

While there are times I wish North had more outdoor space to frolic, quite often I'm grateful for my pooch's sheltered city lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, he still takes nice long walks . .

Don't
leave your grills (or pets) unsupervised at any outdoor parties! Have some extra sticks and
balls to distract him from hovering around the BBQ and your yums. If your speedy pup grabs something piping hot, or gets too close to the grill, you should have a plan, and supplies, to treat paw burns.

Keep the trash safe from your nosy pets! In addition to the obvious dangers of
cleaning product poisons or choking hazards, the bacteria and molds found in rotting foods can seriously endanger your furry friends . .
