Spring is here... Get your yard tip top for the goodest 🐶🐶 13/10 recommend!! 🐾🐾

Spring has sprung, and it's the perfect time to start prepping your yard for summer. If you're a pet owner, you're likely considering your furry friend's needs when it comes to creating an outdoor space that's safe and enjoyable. Fortunately, with a little planning and attention to detail, you can create a pet-friendly yard that your dog will love.

First, consider planting non-toxic flowers and plants in your yard. Some popular options include marigolds, sunflowers, and petunias. Be sure to avoid any plants that are known to be harmful to pets. Additionally, choose pet-safe lawn fertilizer and avoid cocoa bean mulch, which is toxic to dogs.

Next, designate a specific area for your pet to use as a potty spot. Using absorbent materials like turf or mulch can help protect your lawn. You can also keep pet-safe products on hand to repair any damage that does occur.

Investing in secure fencing is also essential for your pet's safety and your peace of mind. Consider the height and design of the fence based on your dog's size and tendencies. Not only is a fenced-in yard a safe choice for pets and children, but it can also increase your home's resale value.

Finally, make sure your yard has plenty of shade, especially during warmer months. You can provide shade through trees, umbrellas, or even a dog house. Additionally, invest in yard accessories like an outdoor water bowl, a paw-wipe station, and a potty scoop tool to make care and cleanup easier.

By following these tips, you can create a pet-friendly yard that is both safe and enjoyable for your furry friend. So, are you ready to start creating your dog's dream yard? What do you do in your yard for your four legged friend?

Feeling motivated this morning, so I did my Virtual 5k x 2!

Woke up a bit earlier than normal today, so I decided to head over to the Davison Township Hall and get my 5k in early. I started just before sunrise and it was amazing to see the sun come up along the Black Creek. Check out my timelapse video below as I hit some of Davison’s most popular spots!

I had to get an early start today so that my schedule was clear for showings today! In spite of the world feeling a bit crazy, buyers and sellers are still actively searching for and selling homes. See you tomorrow for day 8 of the virtual 5k!
