Susahn's Pet Tips

Your pet's collection of plush toys deserves a good cleaning at least once a season to prevent harmful bacteria and/or dust mites from making your house their home. Othello recommends washing plush toys in hot water with your usual laundry detergent and bleach for colors. If the plush toys reside outside, then a second run through the wash cycle is also recommended. Tumble dry the plush toys on the low setting.

Othello usually runs the dry cycle two or three times to ensure
the underbellies of all his babies are good and dry.

No worries for the squeaky components of the plush toys. Once dry, the squeaks and squawks will return.What about the hard, plastic chew toys? A hot water soak and hand washing with your dish soap will do the trick. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residues.

Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car can be a Deadly Mistake

On a warm day the temperature in a parked car can reach 160 degrees in a matter of minutes, even with partially opened windows. With only hot air to breathe, your pet can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke.

Signs of heat stress:

heavy panting

glazed eyes

rapid pulse

dizziness,

vomiting, and/or deep red or purple tongue

If your pet gets overheated, you must lower his/her body temperature immediately!

• Get your pet into shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over his/her body.
• Apply ice packs or cold towels only to your pets head, neck, and chest
• Let your pet drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes or ice cream
• Get you pet to a veterinarian right away. It could save his/her life.

On hot days your pet is safer at home! This information is provided by:

Snoopy’s Column

The Burbank Velodrome

On Sept. 16, 2006 Lincoln Hound Society member and Co-Chair Ed Hodges unveiled a commemorative plaque and display case with photos on the site of the football stadium at Lincoln High School, which sits on the Burbank Velodrome's former site. Formally called the Garden City Velodrome, it soon became known as the Burbank Velodrome because of its location in the Burbank neighborhood. It closed at the end of the 1941 season. Ed has been working for two years to see that future generations will be aware of the velodrome and its history. For a more historical infomration on the Veldrome, please visit the Rose Garden Resident for a full coverage story by reporter Mary Gottschalk
