💬 COMMUNITY CHATTER
🐍 Rattlesnakes Are Making the Rounds
A Bountiful resident shared photos after a rattlesnake fell into a window well, and the comments quickly filled with other local sightings and stories. Neighbors mentioned seeing rattlers around the foothills and Bountiful Boulevard, with some saying they’re checking yards more carefully before letting pets out or doing fall cleanup. The snake in this case was safely caught and released.

🐾 Turn Treat Time Into Brain Time!
If your dog seems to inhale dinner in 30 seconds — or gets a little bored and mischievous when they need something to do — try making them work for their food.
Puzzle feeders and enrichment toys, like the Woof Walkabout, turn ordinary kibble or treats into a little game. Instead of eating from a bowl, your dog has to nudge, roll, chase and problem-solve to get the goodies out.
That can help:
🐶 Slow down fast eaters
🧠 Add mental stimulation
🎾 Keep busy dogs occupied
✨ Make everyday meals more fun
Preppy Paws Tip: Start on an easier setting so your pup figures out the game and gets a few quick wins. Once they’ve got it, increase the difficulty for an extra challenge!
👉 The Woof Walkabout is available now at Preppy Paws Pet Supplies & Academy.📍 90 W 100 N, Bountiful

😊 ONE FOR THE ROAD
🥑 Apparently, Today Is National Guacamole Day
As if we needed an official excuse for chips and guac. 😄
September 16 is National Guacamole Day, which sounds like a perfectly reasonable reason to grab your favorite Mexican food from a local spot tonight.
No special local promotion that we know of — just your unofficial permission to order the extra guacamole. 🥑
Thanks for spending a few minutes of your morning with me! 💛
I love getting to gather up all these little pieces of what’s happening around our communities and bring them to you each morning. And as always, if you see something interesting happening around town, hit reply and send it my way — some of the best Buzz comes straight from you.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow morning! 🐝
—Brenda 🐝
