Just a reminder to be cautious of emails you will start receiving this time of year dealing with IRS, Black Friday deals, returned item emails, charges to your account, etc. Always check the sending email address to verify it matches who it says that it is. If you question the validity look up the company number yourself and give them a call.


Visiting the VET:
Learning in the Heartland is a program designed to bring books to life with virtual field trips! Children watch a virtual tour of a veterinary office and learn how a vet performs a check-up on a dog. They learn how to care for animals through multiple activities too!
