Well, you know, the Fourth of July is almost here, which means fun for the whole family. You know what though? Our pets can really feel anxious. That's so true. Fireworks can be pretty scary for your animals. So to find out how you can keep them safe. This Independence Day, I talked to Elena Hoffman from Best Friends Animal Society along with her puppy, Bert. Elena and Bert. Thank you so much for joining us today. We want to keep you safe during the Fourth of July fireworks. So first of all, should pet owners plan on staying home during the Fourth of July or go out and enjoy yourselves? Well, it really depends on the type of pet that you have in their anxiety level. So I adopted bet from Best Friends Animal Society around three months ago. He does have a, a lot of anxiety. So I will be spending the Fourth of July home with him and my senior dog because I'm not a fan of fireworks either, but it's a personal decision. So if you don't know how your dog was gonna react because you just got them or if you've never been home with them during the fourth of July. What should you look out for? Are there signs that they may be a little skittish? Absolutely. So, some of the signs you can look for are pacing, panting, howling and barking and also hiding under the bed. So, what can you do to help your pets? Is it a way to fireworks, proof your home? Well, there's no real way to firework, proof your home, but the things you can do or create a safe space for your dog or cat. So, if they have a crate or a kennel, you know, put it their favorite toys. Make sure you close the blinds a yawn. Yeah. Make sure you close the blinds, the windows have some TV, or classical music playing, put on a humidifier or a noise machine. All of those things are gonna help. And what about medication? Are there anxiety, medications, maybe for pets or anything like that? There are. But that's something that every pet parent needs to talk about with their veterinarian and the sooner you talk to them before the holiday the better. Um, there's also thunder shirts or compressions, sleeve type garments that can help with anxiety and then there's different supplements that can help. Yeah, you're so cute. Yes, you are.

I want to think again, step outside right now and you'll already know that the cold is with us. And like you mentioned, Kurt doesn't seem like it's really going anywhere anytime soon. Let's bring in hope to tell us more about when or if there's any relief from this sight. Hope we have a few days to go to really start seeing those temperatures recovering back to seasonable. But here's what to expect for our bitter blast. It is going to feel bitterly cold starting tomorrow and even last thing into Wednesday morning, feel like temperatures in the twenties tomorrow morning, even colder Wednesday morning, it is expected to feel like the teens. So winter essentials are needed. So here's what you need to wear starting tonight into early tomorrow morning. You need to grab the heavier coat, the hat, the scarf, the gloves, temperatures tomorrow will be in the upper twenties near 30 degrees, feeling colder than that because of those blustery winds out of the west gusting between 20 to 30 30 MPH really beginning to ramp up in intensity by the afternoon and that does even come with some flakes. So it's certainly feeling and even looking like winter out there. So some festive flakes starts moving into our area after 10 a.m. Again, it's not expected to accumulate anything but don't get caught off guard if you see some of those flakes moving through around 1:02 p.m. out of here by the evening. But again, back to how it's gonna feel tomorrow morning dress for the twenties, it looks like temperatures aren't really recovering by the afternoon. Still expected to feel like the tw all day long through the evening, overnight hours, even colder by Wednesday morning, you're going to have to dress for the teens once again. And that just means you're putting on an extra layer, you're going to need those insulated socks as well. And it looks like it is going to remain cold even through Wednesday afternoon. Tuesdays. Well, Thursday is where we start to recover a bit. Highs will be near 47 with plenty of sun.
