Sure, you know that the Floofins staff you interact with LOVE your pet, but have you ever wondered… Is there more to this super-duper, pet-loving person?

To that, we say, YES!

Your Floofins are like family and we want to give you a more rounded picture of our great staff members. So, we dug a little deeper into their psyches to get you the kind of information only Floofins & Co. can provide.

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Corine. She works as a Pet Care Specialist.

  • What is the most beautiful place you’ve been? “Cape Town, South Africa” 
  • What is your pet peeve? “Dishes being left in the sink.” 
  • As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? “A zookeeper/dolphin trainer and I am currently living out the dream as a penguin and otter trainer at the Shedd Aquarium.”
  • What would be your spirit animal? “A manatee because they are predator free and love to eat!”

Why Did The Turtle Cross The Road?

August 7, 2019 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

From now until October you may see turtles crossing the road. Or, if you live near a body of water, they may appear in your backyard. 

According to the Turtle Rescue League, in “late summer and fall, hatchling turtles are digging up from nests, looking for water and later on males and females are heading to places to hibernate.”

If you find a turtle crossing the road, make sure you stop in a safe location before assisting the turtle. Keep it low to the ground in case you drop it if it kicks itself out of your hands, pick it up on the sides of the shell not the tail, and do not turn it around. If you have a snapper, use a blunt object to scoot it across the road so you don’t hurt it. You can wait to make sure it doesn’t turn around to recross the road before you leave.
