A Really Beautiful Bird Around Southwest Florida.

 Pileated woodpeckers, the largest woodpeckers in North America, hammer their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph, 20 times a second. So, how do their heads not turn to mush?

Thick muscles, sponge-like bones, and a third eyelid keep bird brains intact. For more information, go to: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/pileated_woodpecker/id/nc

This Ft. Myers Boat Dock Is Really Making Me Want To Go Fishing.

Did you notice I didn’t say that it makes me want to buy a boat. It takes a long time to learn these waterways, that’s why I leave it to the charter captains. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go fishing

Yeah, they are here: My personal Favorite. Florida’s Fresh Honeybells from SUN HARVEST…..YUMMY

Honeybell Wreath

In London, the New Year has long been announced by church bells ringing out at midnight, bidding the last year farewell and welcoming the coming twelve months. We can’t think of a more cheerful way to ring in the New Year than with our Honeybell Wreath. In this gorgeous arrangement, you’ll find 19 pounds of Honeybells, aptly named for their mouth-watering flavor and bell-like shape and nicely topped with a 4-ounce bag of orange pecans. Order early – these citrus chimes ring through January only. CLICK HERE TO ORDER AND PUT IN THE PROMO CODE: “DAILY” FOR 10% OFF YOUR GIFT PURCHASE! http://www.sunharvestcitrus.com/

Navel Oranges

The Navel, our only variety bold enough to bare its midriff, is justifiably confident. A world favorite, theFlorida navel orange is easy to peel and seedless, contains an incredible sweetness coupled with just the right amount of tang, and offers a day’s dose of vitamin C. Its natural goodness and packaging make it a healthful grab ‘n’ go snack. Citrus trivia side note: the Navel’s “inny” is actually caused by a baby orange within the fruit. Now how cute is that?

Honeybell Tangelos

The Honeybell’s name comes from its flavor, form, and family tree. Its nectarous taste and unique bell shape give it its first name, while its ancestors — the tangerine and pomelo (A.K.A. grapefruit) merge to form its last. More specifically, the Honeybell descends from the Dancy tangerine and the Duncangrapefruit. The result is an incredibly easy-to-peel fruit with savory sweetness. Like all good things, however, the Honeybell season comes to an end — and quickly. Available in January only, so order now!

Six Tips for Keeping Your Dog Cool. From Indian Creek Veterinary Hospital in Fort Myers, Fla

Many areas of the world are seeing record high temperatures, which makes it even more important to ensure that your pets are kept cool. Veterinarians commonly see dogs with heat stroke, but most of these cases could easily have been averted with some easy precautions.

The following six tips will help you keep your dog cool:

1. The best method for keeping your dog cool is to simply allow him or her to stay inside a house with air conditioning.  Dogs want to be part of the family and almost always enjoy being inside.
2. If your dog must be kept outside in the heat, one tool to help keep your dog from overheating is a child’s small hard plastic swimming pool. Place it in a shaded area of the yard and fill with a few inches of water. Your dog can drink from it, walk through it, or even lie in it.
3. Misters are another good tool which can be installed on your patio or any shaded area of your back yard. These emit a fine mist of water that your dog can use to keep cool.
4. Another trick is to take large plastic jugs such as milk containers, fill them with water and then freeze them.  Place outside in an area where your dog usually stays, preferably in a shaded area.  Behind the ice-filled jugs, place an electric fan so it blows across the ice and creates a cool breeze for your dog.
5. Of course, never leave your dog in a car without the air conditioning on.  Even in relatively mild outdoor temperatures, on a sunny day the environment inside the car can get dangerously hot in just a few minutes.
6. Never leave your dog tied to a tree or a post. A common scenario is for a dog to keep circling the tree, winding the rope shorter and shorter until it is caught close to the tree trunk. As the sun moves across the sky, eventually the dog is in the full sun, and not able to reach its water bowl to try to help keep itself cool. Heat stroke can quickly ensue.

If your dog is heat stressed, it will be panting heavily, with its tongue hanging out long and wide. This increases the surface area of the tongue and allows for more evaporation to happen, which helps keep your dog cool. Another symptom is the color of the gums will be a very bright red or sometimes a muddy color. If you notice any of these symptoms, take action immediately! Cool down the dog and call your veterinarian for further instructions.

Heat stroke in dogs is usually easily preventable. Using these tips will let you enjoy hot weather safely with your dog and may even save your dog’s life! For more info: go to: http://www.indiancreekvet.com/

DENTAL CLEANING 15% OFF

Pets, like people, need regular dental care and we at Indian Creek Pet Hospital are committed to helping you provide your pet with a long, healthy life. Animals who do not receive dental care are at risk of gingivitis, periodontal disease and subsequent kidney, liver and heart problems. Many times, the first sign owners notice of a dental problem is bad breath in their pet. Unfortunately, by this time, periodontitis is already in its 3rd of four stages! What often goes unnoticed is the preceding inflamed gums, plaque and tartar buildup and the accompanying pain which can cause changes in eating habits and behavior.

Particularly at risk are small dog breeds. Experts say that these breeds are more likely to develop tooth problems because their teeth are often crowded into small mouths. This can create a haven for plaque buildup.

We encourage all pet owners to brush their pets teeth and use dental products such as Aquadent, CET chews and Hills Prescription Diet t/d. Having your pet’s teeth professionally cleaned once or twice a year is also highly recommended.

In order to help improve your pet’s dental health, we will be offering our dental cleaning services at a 15% discount during the month of September. A dental cleaning includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork, ultrasonic cleaning, polishing and fluoride treatment and dental x-rays.

Space is limited and available on a first come, first served basis so call today to schedule your pet’s dental cleaning.

Dragon fruit cacti in bloom now in Southwest, Fl.

Dragon fruit cacti in bloom only at night time! In daytime the blossoms are completely closed. The cactus blossom pictures below are made from a time before sunrise until about less than one hour after sunrise. The  dragon fruit flowers normally bloom before 10:00 pm, and they start closing up by daylight.  Sunrise was delayed by approx half an hour due to a nearby hill and due to slightly cloudy sky that early morning. Check out the pictures below that I took from start to finish of a dragon fruit flower blooming.
