August News for You!

Greetings, from Guardian Whiskers!

Congratulations to Aziza and Austin! 

At the recent Book Buddies reading program at the City Dog Vet clinic location, we celebrated Aziza and Austin’s 12th visit to read to the Book Buddies. Thank you, Aziza and Austin, for sharing books with the Book Buddies! They surely enjoyed it.

Pictured here with the siblings is Koda, a Book Buddy. (Koda also celebrated one year of volunteering with the Book Buddies!)

The Keeping Animals Happy & Healthy Report 

Native bees pollinate most crops and supplement the activities of other bees, such as honey bees. With the number of bees decreasing, they need our help, even more so than honey bees.

Here are some fun and effective ways to help bees: https://getthekidsoutside.com/save-native-bees/ .
