My weekend plans? Sleep, snack, exercise indoors and then chill out beneath the ceiling fan and on the oh-so-cool tile floor.

As the management team in Mom's office, this is the secret to our success. Sharing in case it could help your climb up the corporate ladder, too.

My favorite way to spend a summer day.

Too hot to play outside so Mom fixed Teddy & me an indoor picnic. Only Teddy "forgot" to tell me when it was ready. By the time I made it to the dining room, there was nothing left on the plate. He didn't even leave a crumb. But that's ok. I spied 3 boxes of Three Dog Bakery Lick'n Crunch Blueberry Pie, Strawberry Shortcake and Churro cookies and they're about to be mine (and if I want more, I heard Mom say that they're at Target all summer long).

Happy Independence Day! May freedom ring loud and clear here in the U.S. and around the world, too.

Dallas/Fort Worth friends, this story in today's Dallas Morning News spotlights how you to help shelter pups tonight and this weekend during the fireworks events. Everyone else, I bet shelters in your town would welcome your help, too.

A good reminder to everyone. Please share with your friends and families. Let’s all do our part to keep corgis and all pets safe and secure as 4th of July celebrations get underway.

TIPS TO HELP KEEP YOUR DOG SAFE AND SECURE FROM FIREWORKS - - - - - - January 1st and July 5th are two of the busiest days of the year at animal shelters nationwide due to calls from frantic owners calling about their lost dogs. A dog’s hearing is four times as sensitive as that of a human and they hear a frequency range of 40 to 60,000 Hz while a human range is between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Because of this, dogs have a difficult time with very loud noises. Sounds that may be acceptable to you can be extremely uncomfortable to a dog especially when they go on for half the night.

#1 NEVER bring your dog to a fireworks display. Whether it’s a public display or at someone’s home it’s a bad idea. This seems like a no brainer but you’d be surprised what people will do.

#2 Do NOT leave your dog in your backyard; fenced or not. Dogs have been known to scale or dig under fences and squeeze through small spaces in a terrified attempt to find safety. Some dogs literally go into a panic due to fireworks or other loud noises so they need to be protected.

#3 Keep your dogs inside the house in a secure interior room (if possible) with a radio or TV playing. If your dog is accustomed to a crate, it can provide a safe and secure feeling, much like a den. Pets like to have go-to places for relaxing or hiding away. However, if a closet or crate creates more anxiety for your pet, of course it shouldn’t be used.

#4 Keep your windows closed so your dog cannot push the screen out. If you have a screen door, shut the interior door for the same reason.

#5 Walk your dog earlier in the evening so he does not have to be outside after fireworks start up in your neighborhood. If you must put Fido in the yard to do his business, stand out there with him until he's finished and bring him back into the safety of your home.

#6 Be sure your dog has a microchip or has a current pet ID affixed to a secure collar. Even if your dog is chipped it’s recommended to also have an ID tag. It’s the fastest way to get your pet back to you. It’s also a good idea to have a recent picture of your pet in case you have to put up "lost pet" signs.

#7 Do not allow your dog to have access to any packaged fireworks. A curious dog who comes across fireworks may think they’re food and attempt to tear into the package. Fireworks contain potentially toxic substances such as arsenic, potassium nitrate, and other heavy metals. It goes without saying your dog should be no where near lit fireworks as it could result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws.

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH YOUR BELOVED PET
