STILLWATER, Okla. – The heat of summer is setting in, and after a cool spring, livestock are not yet fully acclimated to warmer temperatures.

Many flower gardens look great in spring and early summer but begin to look a little frazzled, just like the gardener, when the summer sun beats down. Even though summer doesn’t officially begin for another week, it definitely feels like summer with the temperature in the high 90s this past week. By planting flowers that thrive in heat and bloom in mid to late summer, you can keep your flower garden looking fresh and full of vitality all summer long.

While people tend to dress differently depending on the season, most pets “wear” the same coat yearround. Shaving off this hair during the hot summer months may seem like a good idea to keep a dog cool, but it can actually have the opposite effect for some animals.

What kind of home would be good for this animal: An active home that is willing to put in the work because although Biscuit is obedient, she is lacking in manners unfortunately.
