​Hey there! Colt here,

Let's talk about that spooky holiday that's just around the corner.

I know, I know, I kind of did a Halloween related fact last month, but I’ll take any chance I can get to share facts about Halloween. 

• Today (10/13) is National M&M day, but would you believe that the favorite Halloween candy in the State of Michigan is actually Starburst? It’s true!
  • The runner up in second place is Candy Corn!
• The record for fastest pumpkin carving is just under 17 seconds.
  • Those are some speedy paws!
• The most common costumes for children tend to be princesses and superheroes. Adults like to dress up like witches, and the most popular costume for dogs is a pumpkin. 
  • Top 3 costumes for dogs: 1) Pumpkin, 2) Hot Dog, 3) Superhero

 


​  <-- Here's a picture of my brothers and I dressed up as superheroes.
        I guess the list is  correct!

Boo! I mean Hello,
 
I know Halloween is still a few weeks away, but I think you’ll all love this quote I found! 

Have a great scary season!

I give scarecrows a lottt of credit. Just standing there in one spot and not getting to chase all the birds that visit would make me crazy!

Hey there,

The first day of Autumn is just one week away, so I thought I'd share some fun facts about this colorful season!

• Did you know that before we carved pumpkins, people in Ireland would carve turnips and potatoes? It's true, they would carve faces into beets as well!
• Autumn is often called Fall, which is due to the fact that this is the time of year when leaves fall off the trees. Some humans say that if you catch a falling leaf, it can bring you good luck!
• The color of the leaves depends on how much sugar is in them. If the leaves are a really bright red, that is because there is a lot of sugars in the leaves. 

I hope this new-found knowledge will help get you excited to carve pumpkins and rake leaves!

Hey there,

Copper told me it’s National Dog Month, so I found some fun facts about the greatest animals ever… dogs!

• Did you know that a dog’s nose print is unique, kind of like a human’s fingerprint?! So forensics can check our nose prints to see if we were at the scene of a crime!
  
• Almost half of U.S. dogs sleep in their owner’s bed… I let my owners sleep in mine 😊 
  
• All of us have dreams, but puppies and much older dogs dream more often.

Now that you know all of that, you can properly appreciate National Dog Month... Oh and remember to check to see if your auto insurance covers your dogs, we love car rides too!

Hello again, 

It's the second day of August and my favorite month is finally here... National Dog Month!

That's right, August is National Dog Month, so I made sure to find this quote about dogs to share with all of you!

This quote couldn't be more accurate, I don't think my owners would know what to do without me there to keep my brothers in order!

Enjoy!

Hey there,

I've decided that Summer is the perfect time to share my favorite mosquito facts with all of you!

Did you know that there are different ways that insect repellents work? One way is by essentially making you invisible to the mosquitoes by blocking their sensors so that they can't detect you. Isn't that interesting?

The mosquitoes that do bite you are all female. The protein in blood is essential for their eggs so that they can make more mosquitoes.  This is why the males don't need to drink blood and actually feed on flowers. 

One more thing, if you think you get bit way more than your friends, that might be true! There's multiple factors that explain why mosquitoes are more attracted to certain people in a group such as Carbon Dioxide production (more is produced when exercising), body odor (Ex: sweating while doing outdoor activities), and the color of clothing you are wearing. 

Remember to wear your insect repellent!
