Dab when you sneeze. Bend your arm, and make sure you sneeze into, not over, your elbow. Keeping hands clean through improved hand hygiene is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water (https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/when-how-handwashing.html). One final practice that helps prevent the spread of respiratory disease is avoiding close contact with people who are sick. If you are ill, you should try to distance yourself from others so you do not spread your germs. Distancing includes staying home from work or school (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/17/817251610/its-time-to-get-serious-about-social-distancing-here-s-how). (From CDC.gov)

Tips For Working At Home

Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.

Now, for some important national news:  This serves a few purposes: 1) To remind the American republic that there is a Presidential debate coming up 2) for my birthday you can get me Barack Obama and Mitt Romney toy pillows from the claw machine at the Topps in Panorama Plaza and 3) Topps isn't the best for groceries, but it makes up for it in entertainment.

Stella.  You are so good!  I think it has something to do with the water bottle

ROCKY!  I think he's the fastest eater I've ever seen.

How am I suppose to get any work done with this going on?

The Detroit Tigers are in the post season.  So, that should keep me occupied through October (if all goes well).  I'm hungry.  So, goodbye...

Lollypop Farm's Barktober Fest 2012 raised $110,000 to help homeless and abused pets in the Greater Rochester community!  Thanks to all of you who donated to the festival, to me personally (even you "anonymous" whoever you are), to all of our volunteers, staff, and everyone else who participated.

An old Irish Blessing says: "May your puppy be tired before you go home."

That's all for now.  THANKS again to everyone who participated at Barktober Fest.  It was a great time and you helped a lot of animals by having fun!
