protect

It is Bat Week in New York State (through October 31st) and the Department of Environmental Conservation wants to remind you that bats are a very important part of our environment. Instead of being afraid, let's help protect them.

As pet owners, we do whatever it takes to keep our pets safe. We ensure they have all of their shots and are protected from fleas and ticks. But there is a predator out in full force this time of year. How do you protect your pets from coyotes?

We are all trying to practice social distancing and also get out and get fresh air. The New York State Department of Health (NYDOH) is warning that ticks are out and to find ways to protect yourself.

This is the time of year when coyotes start to look for places to settle down when their pups that will be born in the spring. There have been sightings downstate and now, they have been seen in my own backyard.
