Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.
- Cheyenne
For July, meet Cheyenne, our newest Pet of the Month — and a total superstar in every way. 💛
Cheyenne and her owner, Eryn, love going swimming and traveling together. Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll tell you: she doesn’t just enjoy swimming… she lives for it. Yes, yes, YES!
🎾 Favorite Toy: A tennis ball — or honestly any ball she can chase.
🍖 Favorite Treat: Dehydrated lamb lung fillets (a pro athlete needs her fuel).
🛏️ Favorite Place to Sleep: Eryn’s bed, of course.
🏅 Special Talents: Catching balls mid‑air, swimming like a champ, and competing in Confirmation, NASDA, and Fast CAT.
🤪 Quirky Behavior: The moment she sees a ball, she becomes hilariously laser‑focused. Game on.
Cheyenne brings joy, energy, and heart to everything she does — and we’re so excited to celebrate her this month. 💛🐾

🔥🐾 National Pet Fire Safety Day!
A quick plan can save lives — including your pets’. Today’s a great reminder to check your smoke alarms, update your emergency kit, and make sure every family member (two‑ and four‑legged) knows how to get out safely.
Here are a few simple ways to protect your pets from fire risks at home and during wildfire season in Western Colorado.
🧯 Top Pet Fire Safety Tips
🗺️Create a pet‑inclusive escape plan — Know who grabs which pet, where leashes/carriers are stored, and your safe meeting spot.
🏷️Keep collars and ID tags on — Pets often panic and bolt during alarms or smoke.
🚪Place leashes and carriers by exits — Firefighters look for these when rescuing animals.
💨Use monitored smoke detectors — Especially helpful when pets are home alone.
🕯️Pet‑proof your home — Secure candles, unplug heated devices, and keep stovetop knobs covered.
🐕Display a pet rescue window decal — Helps first responders know who’s inside.
💊Prepare a go‑bag — Food, meds, water, copies of vet records, and a photo of your pet.
🔥Know local wildfire risks — Montrose sees dozens of wildfires each year; stay alert during red‑flag days. ... See MoreSee Less
