๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Memorial Day Cleanup Scheduled at Bountiful Cemetery

Bountiful City Cemetery staff are asking families to remove all flowers and decorations by 6 AM on Wednesday, May 13, as crews prepare the grounds for Memorial Day. Decorations may be placed again starting at 8 AM on Thursday, May 21. Families planning Memorial Day visits should plan ahead to avoid losing personal decorations during the cemeteryโ€™s annual cleanup process.

๐Ÿถ New Dog Park Opens in Woods Cross

A big crowd turned out for the grand opening of Flash Cairo Dog Park in Woods Cross, a new community space honoring police K-9s Flash and Cairo. Animal Care of Davis County also shared free microchip resources and pet licensing information during the event. The park is now officially open to the public.

South Davis dog owners now have another local spot to gather, exercise pets, and support responsible pet safety through microchipping and licensing.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Utah Heat Could Break Records This Week

Forecasters say Utah could see record-breaking temperatures this week, with some areas along the Wasatch Front nearing triple digits earlier than usual for May. Experts say shifting weather patterns tied to El Niรฑo and La Niรฑa cycles are contributing to the unusual warmth heading into summer.

South Davis residents may see higher cooling costs, increased wildfire concerns, and hotter afternoon conditions earlier than normal this season.

๐ŸฅŽ Bountiful Redhawks Advance in 5A Regionals

No. 12 Bountiful girls softball punched its ticket to the next round of the 5A Regionals with a 12-8 win over West Jordan, completing the series sweep. The Redhawks erased an early deficit with a huge six-run fourth inning. Peyton Orchard drove in two runs, while Dylan Carpenter picked up the win with four strikeouts. Bountiful keeps its postseason momentum rolling as the Redhawks continue a strong run in the 5A state tournament.

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ Animal Wellness Tip: Dog Anxiety Awareness Week ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Just like people, dogs can experience anxiety โ€” and itโ€™s more common than you might think. Loud noises, changes in routine, separation, or new environments can all cause stress for our pups.

This week is all about recognizing the signs and supporting our dogs so they feel safe, calm, and comfortable.

Here are a few things to watch for:
โ€ข Excessive pacing or restlessness
โ€ข Destructive behavior or scratching
โ€ข Whining, barking, or clinginess
โ€ข Changes in sleep or appetite

Ways to help:
โ€ข Stick to a consistent routine
โ€ข Provide comfort items or safe spaces
โ€ข Regular exercise and mental stimulation
โ€ข Routine care to help them feel clean and comfortable

At Scenthound Bountiful, they prioritize health โ€” not just haircuts โ€” and that includes helping create a positive, low-stress experience for every pup that walks through their doors.

If your dog experiences anxiety, Scenthound is here to help support their comfort every step of the way. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Call 801-623-6561 to schedule your pupโ€™s post-fiesta refresh. ๐Ÿ•โœจ

โ˜˜๏ธ Sniff More, Stress Less ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿถ

Did you know a simple โ€œsniff walkโ€ can be more mentally enriching for your dog than a long power walk?

Dogs experience the world through their noses, and giving them time to stop, sniff, and explore helps provide:
โ€ข Mental stimulation
โ€ข Confidence building
โ€ข Stress relief
โ€ข A healthy outlet for natural instincts

The next time you head out for a walk, try slowing down and letting your dog take the lead for a few minutes (safely, of course ๐Ÿ˜‰).

โœจ Sometimes the best exercise isnโ€™t about distance โ€” itโ€™s about discovery.

Stop by Preppy Paws for enrichment ideas, training tools, and healthy treats that help keep your pup happy, balanced, and fulfilled!
