Summer Safety for Our Furry Friends As summer approaches, we’re constantly made aware of all the seasonal precautions we need to take to protect ourselves and our family. But there are also a special set of hot weather guidelines for our beloved pets. The National Humane Society suggests the following: Never leave your pets in a parked car. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, it will reach 120 degrees.

Watch the humidity. If the humidity is too high, they are unable to cool themselves.

Limit exercise on hot days. Adjust intensity and duration of exercise when it’s hot, and limit exercise to early morning or evening hours.

Don’t rely on a fan. Pets respond differently to heat than humans do. And fans don’t cool off pets as effectively they do for people.

Provide ample shade and water. Provide plenty of fresh, cold water, with ice when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don’t obstruct air flow.

Cool your pet inside and out. In addition to cool water, frozen treats are great for helping our furry friends cool off. Check out the recipe to the right.

Check for signs of heat stroke including heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst.

Contact a vet immediately. Here are some local ones to consider.

HICKORY SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL (PONCHATOULA)

PEANUT BUTTER PET-SICLES

(courtesy of the Humane Society) Popsicles for pets can be made out of all kinds of things they normally eat, like treats or even watered-down wet food.

This recipes calls for peanut butter, preferably unsalted and unsweetened, that DOES NOT contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.

Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter Half a ripe banana, mashed Water, as needed

COUNTRYSIDE ANIMAL CLINIC (HAMMOND)

Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, combine peanut butter with a little water or half a mashed banana. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper, or use Kong-style rubber toys that have a cavity you can fill.

GARRETT VETERINARY CLINIC (HAMMOND)

Spoon the mixture onto the tray just like you would cookie dough, or stuff it into the toys. Freeze the tray or toys for several hours or overnight.

Mosquito Authority came out and I can not believe I have not seen a mosquito or have been bitten! It is wonderful to be able to walk outside and not get eaten up. The communication is also great. I receive a text that morning that they are coming and a email stating they have finished. I would highly recommend!! This is really life changing for my family and my animals!!

HEALTHY

Refresh Your Regimen at North Cypress Fitness Variety is not only the spice of life, it’s the key to keep from getting bored with your fitness routine, and reaching the dreaded fitness plateau. For a challenging and healthy exercise regimen, it’s important to diversify your workouts and include the five main elements of fitness: aerobic exercise, strength training, core exercises, balance training, and stretching.

North Cypress Fitness Center recognizes this, which is why their state-of-the art facilities in Hammond and Ponchatoula offer cutting edge equipment and such a broad menu of group exercise classes and training programs to suit all ages and fitness levels.

Group exercise classes range from a hardcore, mixed-martial-arts inspired workout (StrikeCore Fitness) to one that incorporates Tai Chi, Yoga & Pilates (Les Mills BODYFLOW) to several senior classes that take the specific needs of older adults into account -- and everything in between.

Options for training methods from around the world include CrossFit, TRX, Rope Fit, Synrgy small group training, Krav Maga, and tennis conditioning, among others.

North Cypress Fitness Center also boasts over 200 pieces of premier cardio and strength training equipment, plus swimming, tennis, nutrition, and an on-site cafe.

Spotlight on Tangi Food Pantry For those of us who enjoy the luxury of having plenty to eat -- and then some -- it’s important to remember that we have neighbors who are less fortunate. Thankfully, there are charitable organizations who are well aware of this, and they put forth year-round efforts to help them out. One such group is the Tangi Food Pantry, a local, volunteer, non-profit organization that’s dedicated to helping 40,000 members of our community every year who are in desperate need of food assistance.

The focus of this organization is to distribute a nutritional balance of food and implement nutritional education once a month to applicants who qualify, and also to distribute food in emergency situations. Most of their resources depend on donations from the community, so they happily accept donations. Volunteers are needed to assist clients with paperwork, fill grocery bags, stock shelves, and distribute food to the clients.

Call (985) 429-8551 or go to www.tangifoodpantry.org if you or someone you know needs assistance, or to learn more about donating and volunteer opportunities.

Summer Style: 5 Hot Trends Are you a serious fashionista? Or maybe just a casual style-watcher? If you place any stock in what designers and industry magazines dictate, then you may want to update your wardrobe with some of the following items, which are being touted by InStyle Magazine at some of the hottest women’s fashion trends of the season: Printed Shorts We’re talking bright and eyecatching, balanced with a relaxed and solid blouse.

Peek-a-Boo Lace Playful and feminine, you might’ve seen this flirty style on actress Eva Mendes.

Cropped Tops If you’re bold and comfortable baring your midriff, this is a trend for you.

Consider pairing it with an A-line skirt.

Backless Dresses Another daring choice, this “business in the front, party in the back” trend is sure to be an attention-getter.

Whether you follow the trends, or set your own, there are some great boutiques all around Tangipahoa Parish to keep you looking good.

HUNGRY

Louisiana Seafood: What’s Not to Love?

One of the many reasons we’re lucky to live in South Louisiana is our access to fresh seafood. (If you’ve ever lived in a land-locked location, you know how awful it can taste after it’s been frozen and shipped over long distances.) Not only does it taste great, but it’s a low fat, high protein food source that also provides a lot of health benefits. For instance ...

SHRIMP

Four ounces of shrimp contains over 100% of the recommended daily amount of selenium, over 75% of vitamin B12, over 50% of phosphorous, and over 30% for choline, copper, and iodine.

OYSTERS

Oysters a good source of essential nutrients, including vitamins A, E, and C, zinc, iron, calcium, selenium, and vitamin B12.

FISH

Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2. It’s also rich in calcium and phosphorus, and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium.

CRAWFISH

Mudbugs are high in B vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and phosphorous.

If you’re looking for an excellent local source for seafood, look no further than K-Jenn’s Seafood & Po-Boys. Opening in Hammond in July, they’ll be offering fresh, sautéed, fried, and boiled seafood that’s Article Sponsored By always caught fresh and never imported.

For ultimate convenience, they have a drive through, and customers can order online, via mobile app, and they also offer a delivery service.

To get more information, call K-Jenn’s Seafood at (985) 662-5100 or visit them online at kjennsseafood.com.

Laid-Back Lawn Games for Summer The clanging of horseshoes, the whoosh of a badminton racket, the clunk of a croquet mallet against the wooden ball.

Do these unmistakable sounds bring back nostalgic memories for you? They’re the simple, classic games that transformed boring backyards into fields of fun back in the day. But, why are we talking in past tense?

You can still get this equipment and add an extra element of enjoyment to your next barbecue or party.

5 Tips for Will & Estate Planning Raise your hand if you actually enjoy contemplating your own demise. No takers? Of course, not -nobody does! But estate planning is a necessary task to ensure that things are carried out the way you want, and that your grieving loved ones aren’t saddled with a huge legal hassle.

According to Investors.com, these are the five steps you should take: Step 1: Take an inventory of your assets and liabilities to determine your net worth and what comprises your entire estate.

Step 2: Determine who you want to be your beneficiaries.

Then decide how you want the assets distributed.

Step 3: Decide who will manage the plan.

Do you want the executor to be a family member, an attorney or a corporate trustee?

Step 4: Figure out what type of plan makes the most sense. Most write a will, but some people might want to consider a revocable trust.

Step 5: Find an attorney to draw up your will and estate plan documents.

Here are some local estate planning attorneys for you to consider:
