We are so happy to share that Ziya is home safe and heading back to Canada with her dad. She was picked up by a kind family who had no social media. They took her straight to the vet, had her scanned, and waited patiently. Unfortunately, the scanned contact information was not updated. Two days later a coworker spotted our community posts and connected them with her owner. The family who found her loved having her so much they're now getting a Min Pin of their own.

This is exactly why sharing lost pet posts matters. One share found Ziya.

It's also a good reminder to make sure your pet is microchipped, and update the contact info. If the microchip was updated, then the vet would have been able to contact Ziya's family sooner.

If you want an extra layer of protection GPS enabled collars are now widely available and worth the investment for peace of mind.

If you've been waiting for the Gulf to warm up the wait is over. Clearwater Beach water temperatures have reached 81 degrees. Warm, clear, and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or just wading in. Historically Gulf temperatures peak around 85-86 degrees in late summer so we're already well into comfortable swimming territory ahead of schedule.
