Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer

Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer

By Joyce Gropper, Owner of Animal Palace

Even though it is always summer here in Florida, temperatures can rise to extreme levels especially during the summer months (June through September). While we want to enjoy time outdoors with our pets… let’s make sure we do this safely! There are some precautions pet owners can take to prevent overheating.

One thing is that black dogs retain heat due to the color of their coat. Think about it. Black vehicles attract heat so the same theory applies to black dogs. If you enjoy taking your dog for a walk or extreme playdate in the dog park, one idea is to pack lots of ice cubes and keep them in a cooler. Feed them to your pet or add them to a bowl of fresh water. Also look ahead at the weather forecast to see exactly how high the temperatures might soar and consider starting out early in the day and be done between 10:00 am and 11:00 am at the latest, or go out in the late afternoon. Take frequent stops and water breaks. Always be prepared with bottled water and a collapsible water bowl. Some dogs can even learn to drink water from a sports water bottle.

Many people are not aware that pets are not able to cool off as efficiently as people. They do not sweat and have to pant in order to release the heat.  Issues that arise from overheating in summer heat can include dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn. Let’s take a closer look at some of these issues more closely

Dehydration- Symptoms of dehydration include the gums of the mouth feeling tacky to touch and the skin may become slow to return to its natural position when pulled up. Dehydration can lead to lethargy as it progresses and the pet’s eyes may appear sunken. In mild to moderate cases you can give you dog small doses of water over time but in severe cases, IV fluids must be administered at your vet hospital. Always keep clean, fresh water available for your pet at all times in a container that can’t be tipped over easily.

Heat Stroke- Every year we hear of dogs that suffer  from heat stroke. Symptoms include extreme panting, salivating, staggering, vomiting and diarrhea. As it becomes fatal, your pet will become comatose and their temperature will range from 101 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If your pet is experiencing heat stroke, call your veterinarian immediately as time is of the essence !!! Use cold water to bring the temperature down and soak towels with cool water while you are on your way to get medical care. However, do not let the temperature dip below 102-103 degrees Fahrenheit as this can cause hypothermia. Remember, access to shade, ventilation and water are key to avoid stroke. Avoid taking your pet out during the hottest part of the day and  remember dogs with short noses like pugs cannot pant as efficiently as other breeds.

Sunburn- Dogs can burn just as easily as humans. This often occurs in non-pigmented areas that have less or no hair-often the ears and nose in many breeds or the underside of the belly. Since dogs and cats might lick off their sunblock, again access to shade is essential. Between the hours of 10-4 are the best times to keep your pets out of the sun. Aloe can soothe a pets’ burned sin but see a veterinarian if it severe enough.

On walks try to avoid hot bricks or asphalt which can burn a pet’s feet if they are not toughened from exercise or if it is extremely hot. A good rule of thumb is:  if it is too hot for you, it will be for your pet as well. If your pet is thirsty, it is going to be more prone to drink from puddles. This should be avoided as sometimes chemicals have leaked such as antifreeze and could be deadly if the pet drinks it.

Hot cars are the worst. It is imperative that pet owners never leave their pets inside a car as the heat can easily be from 20-40 degrees warmer in a very short time. As much fun as it is to take our pets for rides, unless you can take them with you once you reach your destination, then don’t take them at all! Also a shorter haircut may help in the hotter months. While we do not want to encourage shaving a dog to the skin, a short cut (puppy cut) is often welcomed by your pet. Hair can get matted more easily too during warmer weather.

Swimming pools are definitely off limit unless your pet is supervised at all times.  Teach your dog to get out of the pool safely as a precaution than to deal with the incredible sadness of losing a pet to drowning.

At Animal Palace Pet Spa, we always have an eye on your dog. We have 6 cameras that captures every movement 24 hours a day. If dogs are going to spend time with us, we make sure they are given cool water throughout the day. If dryers are used in cages, they are cool ones and the pets are constantly checked from their well-being.  For all new salon clients mention this article and get $10 off your first full groom and for our loyal clients, mention this article and get a free tooth brushing during the months of April and May. (This offer does not apply to our mobile grooming service). Call 561-383-5000 and remember we normally open seven days a week in our salon located 9176 Forest Hill Boulevard in the Kobosko’s Crossing Shopping Center in Wellington just a mile east of State Route 7 (441).

Never in a Million Years Did I Think I Would Become a Homeschool Mom!

Never in a Million Years Did I Think I Would Become a Homeschool Mom!

By Briana D’Andrea

Okay you guys. I don’t have to say it, you already feel it. The struggle is REAL THIS TIME! I know we always laughed at that saying and touted it around like a cute little purse, but on the real, this is unlike any other struggle we as a nation have ever had to endure. Please don’t say I have a dog and know what it’s like, because I have that too and it AIN’T THE SAME. Ok…rant done. So let’s get up to speed here.

You’re home, having to work, to figure out your next meal, learning to embrace the unknown, not clear on if you are going to be able to cover your bills, HOMESCHOOL your kids and take it like a champ, all while praying to all things holy, you don’t contract some deadly disease that seems like that scary movie “Parasite!” Someone please pinch me and wake me up from this terrible dream!

I have always been the realest of the real when it comes to life (just ask my husband), but for the sake of having to keep my crown on as queen and not let my kingdom burn down, I’m going to share a few tips and tricks that have helped me thus far. No I am NOT AN EXPERT and on occasion I have been known to freak out (it’s the New Yorker in me), but let’s get something straight, I’m tenacious, head strong and am not known for going along with the status quo, plus in my home we have a motto that says “D’Andreas Don’t Quit!” So it’s time to put our big girl panties on, ride this wave out like all of the other waves we’ve rode and enjoy the ride, because when in our lifetime has the President of the United States ordered us to, “Stay home in your pjs and Netflix and chill for the time being?” Like for reals.

So there was a post circulating of a little schedule that I snagged from my sister in law on behalf of NESCA (Neuropsychology & Education Services for Children & Adolescents). I’ve got to admit, at first I snorted at the idea…me? Home School mom? Ha! I have friends who I would sit around and have lunch with, saying how I could NEVER do it, that I am totally not equipped and how I don’t even see how it’s even a possibility. Fast forward a week (joke’s on me) and here I am!

OK, so it’s been 3 days and I have to say so far so good. Have we had a few fights and tantrums? Uh duh! However, this thing has really kept us all on schedule and I hope this post can inspire you to do the same! I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old and obviously they are at different skill levels. So during academic time I am supplementing with workbooks I’ve gotten for preschoolers, for my little one and some books from school that I’ve saved and that we have for my bigger one. Reach out to your teachers for info on applications or computer programs you can use. I know Palm Beach County Schools recently released some resources to help us tackle this whole learning from home thing. Reach out to your school’s district or visit their website to learn more about what to do in your area. Our teacher recommended something called, “Brain Pop Junior.” My mother in law recently got the kids an OSMO. It’s super awesome for learning shapes, numbers, letters, etc.

And you can make it as easy or hard as you like. (You will need a Kindle for that).This is a great list of apps I found on my Pinterest for children of all ages, so you can avoid them binging on YouTube all day.

Also, a list of helpful homeschool links to help you develop some kind of a curriculum is below.

For those of us who are attempting a schedule while working from home, (this isn’t a new concept for myself since I have my daughter home part-time and I have a few businesses). I am still waking up early, getting dressed, and working for an hour before the kids wake up and during their “quiet rest times,” which is how I am able to write this blog post. I am going to consider more food prep (stay tuned for that in another blog post) and incorporate the kids somehow. For now, I am cooking while they soak in a pretty cool Netflix series called “Brainchild.” So far we’ve watched two episodes and they were on the topics of social media and germs (which I feel like is very fitting of the times). We have been getting up every morning to go for a bike ride and a run for mama to release those endorphins first thing in the a.m.!

Lastly, here are a few things I picked up on Amazon for some fun crafts. A sticker by numbers book, a jewelry box for little miss to paint, some sand art and window art (who remembers those beads, we used to bake?!)

Let’s band together and use this as an opportunity to help one another weather this storm. Think about all of the things in the past you were so afraid of and now are merely a blip on your radar. Jen Sincero said exactly that in her recent book, “You Are a Badass at Making Money.” Remember to reorganize your schedule and make time for the things you love most and most importantly self-care. We are all in this together. Please send me a message, a dm or just share this with someone who might need it. Virtual hugs to all! I want to leave you with a quote by Mister Rogers.

How COVID-19 Has Influenced Xenophobia

How COVID-19 Has Influenced Xenophobia

By: Summer Wadleigh

The COVID-19 Pandemic is the prime contributor to many aspects of the changing world. It is the cause of widespread closed campuses and thousands of deaths nationwide, though it is also fueling a preexisting racial prejudice. The Coronavirus itself along with its impact on the world is not strictly specific to those diagnosed, but also to those who experience social discrimination throughout their day to day lives. After the first known cases of the virus were reported in Wuhan, China, Asian people across the nation have been subjected to injustice. Here is how COVID-19 has affected the Asian community, as well as how the nation is progressing into allyship in protecting the livelihoods of Asian Americans.

Notably, the COVID-19 Pandemic has placed an economic strain on Asian businesses. The general fear of crowded spaces and implemented social distancing can only hold the blame to a certain extent when most of these hardships have fallen specifically on those of Asian descent. A prime example of this strain lies in New York City’s Chinatown, where business continues to deplete. Chivy Ngo, a general manager of Bo Ky, a pho restaurant located in New York City, claims that his restaurant has lost near 60% of its revenue due to a customer decrease of more than 50%. Only 30-40 of his initial 120 customer daily average remain, making it difficult to maintain a steady business. This harsh reality is hardly individual, as it exists collectively among the thousands of Chinatown residents who depend on their businesses for consistent income. The COVID-19 Pandemic has indirectly influenced citizens into associating the entirety of the Asian population with the disease itself, making visits by many who hold these prejudices less frequent out of misinformed fear.

Furthermore, COVID-19 related xenophobia is not solely influencing business, but it is also sparking public acts of violence towards Asian American citizens. While America is no stranger to violent expression of racism, these acts of hatred have only grown in their consistency as the Coronavirus has become increasingly drastic. An example of this can be found in surfaced footage taken on the subway in New York City, as an Asian American man was verbally harassed and had an air freshener sprayed at him by another passenger. In the midst of rapidly spreading disease in which the most one can do to prevent it is to wash their hands and practice social distancing, citizens often let their lack of a sense of control influence aggressive behaviors. The need to attribute COVID-19 to a singular source has created a damaging outlet for the already prejudiced as a way for them to project their beliefs in light of newfound reason.

Despite the series of injustices being experienced by Asian Americans in the US, government officials have done more than simply stand by in this time of crisis. New York Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez has introduced The Small Business Relief From Communicable Disease Induced Economic Hardship Act, providing access to up to 2 million dollars in Disaster Loans for those who cannot compensate for their business expenses. As this bill begins its journey throughout the house and the senate, one can hope that this first step influences further advocation for standing as a unified nation and assisting those who have been heavily impacted by COVID-19.

In essence, COVID-19 has not only contributed to widespread disease but even more so to widespread racism. Through financial and social hardship, Asian Americans have fallen victim to misinformation and previously held prejudices. Within these times, it is incredibly necessary for Non-Asian American citizens to practice equity and create safe environments for the discriminated. Many believe that large scale change is not so easily evoked, left solely to people in powerful positions. Though even as little as not shooting a judgemental glare at the Asian student in your class, or going out of your way to support an Asian run business, is taking a step towards providing rightful comfort and stability for Asian Americans in their country.

Maltz Jupiter Theatre to offer streaming option for ticketholders of its postponed musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Maltz Jupiter Theatre to offer streaming option for ticketholders of its postponed musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

MALTZ JUPITER THEATRE
TO OFFER STREAMING OPTION FOR

TICKETHOLDERS OF ITS POSTPONED MUSICAL
HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

 

Patrons will now have the option of watching an exciting recorded version now from the comfort of their own homes and then returning in the fall to see it live on stage

March 23, 2020 (Jupiter) – The show must go on at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.

 

Even when faced with the catastrophic losses caused by the postponement of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the Theatre has found a way to bring the magic of live theater to its patrons at home.

 

Originally slated for March 17 – April 5, the Theatre is currently working to reschedule the musical for the fall. But as a special treat for its patrons, the Theatre is offering an innovative way for ticketholders to see the musical’s one-of-a-kind performance from the comfort of their couches.

 

Similar to the 2017 film version of Disney’s Newsies: The Broadway Musical! or the upcoming 2021 film version of Hamilton: An American Musical (which were filmed live on stage and then produced for movie theaters), the Theatre obtained special union permission to film the production.

 

The musical was professionally filmed live on the Theatre’s stage with a four-camera setup, giving patrons a thrilling and unique perspective of the musical just as it was performed.

 

“We’re extremely excited to be able to offer our patrons multiple options for how to see the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying – including the ability to experience theater from home,” said Andrew Kato, the Theatre’s producing artistic director and chief executive. “We want to make sure everyone has a chance to see this spectacular musical, and hopefully this will bring a little joy to our patrons during a time in which they’re unable to visit the Theatre in person.”

 

The production never had the chance to open; the decision to postpone was determined just as the cast was finishing its three-week intensive rehearsal process, marking a quick turnaround for filming on the day the show had been slated to start previews.

 

Ticketholders will now have several options to see the show: they can wait to see the musical live when it triumphantly returns in the fall, opt for the film version of the musical now – or both. Those who opt for the recorded version will be provided exclusive access to the performance’s recording through partner Wistia. Ticketholders will receive an email from the Theatre today with directions that explain how to access the recording.

 

All ticketholders will be provided with the streaming version to watch now through March 29. Since the fall production is effectively a direct transfer to new dates, ticketholders will also be moved into their exact same seats and performance days, then given first priority for a period of time to switch dates as needed. Patrons will be notified of their new dates via letter and email.

 

The Theatre is just one of countless arts organizations across the nation and world that have cancelled or postponed their events to protect local citizens from any possible risk of contracting COVID-19. As a not-for-profit producing organization, the Theatre has already invested an enormous amount of time and money into the creation of the production that they will not be able to recoup.

 

Unlike a performing arts center, the Theatre has spent many months building the show from the ground up and has numerous union contracts and obligations to fulfill. Postponing the show is estimated to cost the Theatre at least $800,000, Kato said.

 

“It is in critical times like these that we need our supporters to continue to believe in our work,” he said. “Like other nonprofit arts organizations, this is very difficult uncharted territory for the Maltz Jupiter Theatre and we are shouldering huge financial losses from this postponement. We’re working around the clock to gain our footing again from this and we would like to thank our patrons for their patience and support.”

 

For any patrons unable to attend in the fall, the Theatre will provide the exclusive streaming version of the musical to watch now for free and the opportunity to donate their tickets back to the Theatre for a tax-deductible donation letter for the value of their tickets. New contributions are also always appreciated.

 

While the buildings housing the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s administrative offices, box office and Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts are currently closed, staff are working remotely and available via phone and email. To ensure safety and convenience for patrons, the Theatre is now allowing new and renewing subscribers to place their orders over the phone instead of dropping off their order forms in person. Conservatory classes have resumed via an all-new virtual format, allowing students to take lessons from home.

 

The Theatre is closely monitoring the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as local and state public health authorities, to safeguard the health and well-being of its guests, students and staff.

 

The Theatre’s staff would like to thank patrons for their understanding, patience and continued support during this difficult time. Box office representatives are available to answer questions during regular business hours. The best way to reach the Theatre’s staff is by email; a directory can be found on the Theatre’s website at www.jupitertheatre.org.

The not-for-profit Maltz Jupiter Theatre has become one of Florida’s preeminent professional theatres, committed to production and education through its collaborations with local and national artists. Currently the state’s largest award-winning regional theatre, the Theatre draws 100,000 people annually, serves a subscription base of more than 8,230 and has world-class classroom facilities in support of its Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts, which serves hundreds of youth and adults.

Boys & Girls Clubs’ Great Futures Polo Day

WELLINGTON, Fla. – The 7th annual ‘Great Futures Celebrity Polo Charity Cup & Brunch’ benefiting the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington took place on Sunday, March 8 raising more than $200,000 for Club programming. Co-chairmen were Neil Hirsch, Marc and Melissa Ganzi as well as Olexa Celine.

 

For the seventh consecutive year, Grand Champions Polo Club was the host of the morning’s celebrity polo match featuring honorary event chairmen, Nacho Figueras, Polo’s international ambassador and Nic Roldan, captain of the U.S. Polo Team.

 

“It is always fun when you can play polo and do something for the members of the Neil S. Hirsch Boys & Girls Club” said Figueras.

Other polo pros and patrons who participated in the three-team, round robin tournament were Antonio Aguerre, Alejandro Novillo Astrada, Nacho Novillo Astrada, Santos Novillo Astrada, Joe DiMenna, Pablo Mac Donough, Milo Mac Donough, Martin Pepa, Indi Pieres and Fran Spinacci.

 

The Equuleus team featuring Joe DiMenna, M. Mac Donough, P. Mac Dounough and Martin Peppa took home the title for the third year in a row as the Great Futures Polo Day Champions, winning the overall competition. Milo Donough was named the Most Valuable Player at just 8 years old and DiMenna’s horse was named best playing pony.

 

“Polo and charity go together,” said Event Co-Chair Neil Hirsch. “These polo players are more like family. They come out here and do this for no personal financial gain. They do it for the children.”

“Neil Hirsch has set a great example for our polo community by giving back to those who need us most here in Wellington – our children,” said event Co-Chair Melissa Ganzi. “The celebrity match is making an impact on the club members, their families and our community.”

 

The celebrity match was followed by a brunch at the International Polo Club Mallet Grille. Nearly two hundred guests had an opportunity to participate in a dynamic live auction that featured Sheriff for a Day, DJ For A Day on the KVJ Show, Polo in Aspen, a Cruise on the Fly, Napa Valley Wine Experience, A Private Villa in St. James, and the most sought after item of the day, Nacho Figueras autographed game-worn jerseys and lessons.

 

Wellington Youth of the Year Teyonna Smith shared with the crowd her Club experience in an impressively eloquent, yet humorous speech. A once shy Club member had guests laughing and charged to get involved. After brunch, guests enjoyed the 3 p.m. polo match.

 

Sponsors are an integral part of this celebration and some of this year’s sponsors included Sebilion Farm and Olexa Celine, Joe and Diana DiMenna and the Equuleus Polo Team, Marc & Melissa Ganzi and the Grand Champions Polo Club, Neil S. Hirsch and Dr. Laura DeLuca, Evelyn V. McPherson Foundation, Alonso & Associates, Desich Family, BMO Wealth Management, Halperin, Liebman & Passeroff Families, Hubbard Radio, Modern Luxury Magazine, Waste Management, PoloGear, Laz Parking, Scott Grody Travel and Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

 

Proceeds from the day’s events support the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington, one of 13 Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. The Club provides services during non-school hours, as well as summer camp opportunities, to nearly 1,000 boys and girls from ages 6 to 18.
