The Mia Foundation

The Mia Foundation takes in dozens of animals born with deformities with the goal of giving them a chance at a life. 

Every month we wake Wishbone up to work on his Monthly Tips column.  Some months things go very well.  Some months, uh, not so well.  This month we didn't even come close to not so well.  Naturally our first instinct was to rush him to Doggie Urgent Care until we remembered that this is actually quite normal for him.  If we didn't know better we would think Wishbone has 4 Season Affective Disorder.  But no, Wishbone just prefers to be under a blanket, rain or shine, summer or winter.

In our original panic, as we 'Googled' his symptoms, we did find that many (normal) dogs actually do get 'the winter blues'.  Apparently dogs can be susceptible to the drastically lower amounts of sun, warmth, and outdoor play.  We can't get Wishbone to write his column this month but we will offer a few suggestions, or tips, on his behalf.

1.  Move your pets beds in front of a window so they can enjoy the sun when it does show.

2.  Give your pet more attention than you might normally. 

3.  Try treat toys that keep your pet mentally stimulated, they may be bored and don't know what to do with the built up energy they need to get rid of!

4.  Treat your pets to healthier food options to help avoid weight gain.

5.  Take your pet to a doggie day care for interaction and activity during the long winter.

 

 

 


2019.  January - December.  Twelve months.  365 Days.  Surely there will be events on your 2019 calendar that deserve to be captured professionally.  No matter how good you are with the camera on your cell phone you just can't trust it for those very special occasions. 

For those occasions it's time to call in the professionals.

So which occasion will you call in the professionals for?

A special anniversary? An engagement?  A graduation?  First day of preschool? Last day of preschool? A family reunion?

There are so many occasions that are deserving of a professional photograph.  Don't let your special occasion pass by without recording it in a professional photograph you'll cherish forever.

Did You Know?

In 1918, John Lloyd Wright began to market his creation through his own firm, the Red Square Toy Company, and two years later he received a patent for his “toy-cabin construction.” He bestowed upon his creation an alternative name that also evoked an American icon—Lincoln Logs. The toy came with instructions to build not only Abraham Lincoln’s Kentucky boyhood home, but a famous log structure from the pages of American literature, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The toy’s packaging featured a simple drawing of a log cabin, a small portrait of Lincoln and the slogan “Interesting playthings typlifying the spirit of America.” Capitalizing on both a nostalgia for the frontier at a time when the United States was becoming increasingly urbanized and a wave of patriotism in the wake of World War I, Lincoln Logs became an instant success.

Most of us are fortunate to never need the assistance of a company like National Fire Adjustment Co. Inc.  In fact, most of us don't even know companies like this exist.  But thankfully they do and thankfully when someone needs assistance it's there for them.  We've taken the following from the National Fire Adjustment Co. Inc. website because we couldn't possibly explain it any better:

National Fire Adjustment Co. Inc. (NFA) advocates for the rights of the policyholder in estimating and negotiating an insurance claim, in order to assist clients, in maximizing their insurance policy to receive a higher settlement offer.

NFA’s team of experienced and dedicated licensed public adjusters, estimators, and staff take the burden of dealing with the insurance carrier, by compiling an in-depth analysis of the losses sustained.

NFA is not only the oldest licensed public adjusting firm in North America, but is a leader within the insurance industry as well. NFA has two former Presidents of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA) on staff. Many of NFA’s adjusters have spent years working directly for the insurance companies and understand how they operate. NFA holds the highest standards when it comes to its staff, and takes great pride in the accomplishments of its' highly specialized team.

Would one go to court without an attorney, or want the IRS preparing their taxes?? Of course not, so why would dealing with an insurance carrier be any different.

Needless to say, we hope you will never need the assistance of a company like NFA but if you do, at least now you know they exist.  For more information about their company visit their website by clicking on the banner below:
