Pets & Screendoors
Time to open your doors and feel the nice breeze of spring! Remember to put your screen door in so your pet doesn't try to enjoy the breeze on their own! They are enjoying the outdoors longer as the urge to explore new territories grab their attention. Even if your pet never wanders away, remember that in old age, pets have a tendency to lose their scent and they can wander too far to retrace their steps.
