How to care for your aging pup

Everybody gets old including our pets. It’s never easy to watch our vivacious little puppies become “senior citizen” dogs. While we as humans can express our aches and pains to a doctor, our pets can only show it through various signs. The more tuned in we are to the typical indications, the sooner we can help them age gracefully.

PHYSICAL SIGNS

Cloudy eyes or difficulty seeing. Eye cloudiness can happen so gradually that we may not even notice. It could just be a sign of cataracts or an eye disease. He may be bumping into things or this could be actual vision loss.

HORRIBLE BREATH

Awful breath may indicate gum disease, tooth decay or an infection. As they age, fighting off an infection is much more difficult.

SLOWING DOWN/DIFFICULTY GETTING AROUND

Very common to see them struggling with steps or even getting up from a nap may become challenging. You may notice weakness in their back legs which could be arthritis or a degenerative disease. HIs exercise routine will need to be adjusted.

NEW LUMPS & BUMPS

Some dogs are prone to fatty lipomas, but keep an eye on any and all lumps under the skin as they age. Make sure they are not malignant tumors.

CHANGE IN WEIGHT

Often older dogs gain weight with less exercise. However, they may also begin to lose weight. Could be a result of reduced muscle mass, decreased appetite, poor absorption of nutrients or digestive illness.

INCONTINENCE OR DIFFICULTY “GOING”

If he suddenly seems to forget his housetraining or seems to strain when urinating, it could be signs of a UTI or a kidney disease.

BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL SIGNS

CCDS, or Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, affects 14 to 37 percent of dogs over 8 years of age. Similar to Alzheimer’s in humans, CCDS can bring about these changes:

• Fear of people or objects;

• Changes in sleeping;

• Waking cycle including restlessness or pacing at night;

• Increased barking and vocalization;

• Repetitive or compulsive behaviors;

• Forgetting commands and cues that were once familiar;

• House soiling;

• Increased anxiety;

• Confusion and disorientation;

• Marked change in activity level.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The most important thing you can do is talk to your vet when you see the above changes. Let him/her help you make decisions about changes in diet or exercise, changes you can make around the house or the daily routine.

Often a pet owner’s greatest fear is having to make a decision about their pets’ end of life and that fear may make an owner unwilling to see the vet. Our dogs give us years of love and loyalty and we need to make their golden years as enjoyable as possible.

We offer online ordering, curbside pickup and delivery powered by DoorDash and UberEATS.

Golf Cart Laws and Safety on Roadways

Per Georgia law, residents are required obey the following rules:

A golf cart, legally defined as a motorized cart, may operate on roadways when all of the following elements of law are met:

1) Operate during daylight hours only (O.C.G.A. 40-6-330). May, however, operate at night if they meet the equipment requirements of 49 Code of Federal Registry 571.500: headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals;

The Board of Directors is asking for your cooperation and assistance. We as a Board are very concerned about the rise of unlicensed youths operating golf carts.

In the event you don’t know the Georgia laws in this area, please see the information below that was prepared by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. The bottom line is that no person should be at the wheel of a golf cart unless they have a valid drivers’ license.

In the coming weeks, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office will be stepping up enforcement of the Georgia Code. If the situation doesn’t resolve itself, the Sheriff’s Office has informed us that parents may be ticketed for allowing their children to illegally operate these vehicles.

As always, please call 911 or the non-emergency number at 770-781-3087 to report suspicious persons as well as unsafe or illegal operation of a motor vehicle.

Get a higher sale price

2) Operate only on a roadway with a posted maximum speed limit of 35 MPH or less (O.C.G.A. 40-6-362);

3) Must be equipped with an amber strobe light that is visible for 500 feet to the rear and front (O.C.G.A. 40-6-362)

4) The operator possesses a valid driver’s license (O.C.G.A. 40-5-20 and Coker v. State, Georgia Court of Appeals. June 13, 2003);

5) Slow Moving Emblem (16 inch red/orange retro-reflective triangle) is visibly attached to the rear (O.C.G.A. 40-8-4 (a)).

Other Restrictions:

6) Impeding the normal flow of traffic is prohibited: a golf cart or other may not drive “at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic” (O.C.G.A. 40-6-184), e.g., operating in a 35 mph zone that prevents a following vehicle from driving the posted speed limit.

7) Occupants: Children under the age of 6 prohibited from riding as a passenger, for “a child passenger restraining system” shall be provided in all passenger vehicles (O.C.G.A. 48-8-76). Occupants must only ride in a proper seat position.

Legal exemptions: Registration (tag) is not required (40-2-20 exempts motorized carts), and Insurance is not required (34-33-2 only registered vehicles require Insurance).

AMENITIES ACCESS CARDS / POOL STICKERS

Access cards with 2023 sticker must be used by residents for admittance to the pool area. 2023 stickers may be obtained in person at the Lodge by the adult homeowner or resident. No children, nannies, or other family members may obtain stickers.

You are asked to read and familiarize yourself with the Pool Rules in the Pool Info Packet and bring the signed Acknowledgement form and your two access cards with you when you pick up your sticker. Amenities access cards are available to residents who are current on their HOA dues and fees.

POOL HOURS AND GUARDED SCHEDULE

The pool opens each day at 5:00 a.m. for residents to swim at your own risk. The pool closes each evening when lifeguards go off duty. Lifeguards-on-duty schedule is detailed on Page 4 of the Pool Information Packet.

POOL SAFETY: ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS!!

Please be aware that the Pool Rules are intended to ensure a safe environment for all residents. Also, understand that Lifeguards are primarily responsible for life safety.

Parents are responsible for monitoring and supervising their children at all times, while in the water and on deck, and ensuring they observe the rules for their own safety as well as that of other residents.

We ask that you give your utmost attention to this and your full understanding and cooperation to the Lifeguards. Please immediately bring to the attention of a Lifeguard or Pool Manager, any unsafe situation or behavior or infraction of Rules you observe taking place in the pool or pool area.

UNSUPERVISED MINORS

Please be aware of the rules and violation policy (Rule 1.D.) which will be strictly enforced.

WATER SLIDE

Weak and non-swimmers are not permitted to use the slide, including all that use flotation devices, i.e., life vests). Also, buckles, metal, ornamental clothing or life jackets are not permitted on the slide (Rule 1.F.iii.c).

The following procedure will be followed by all who wish to access the slide. The line to ride the slide will form on the pool deck at the bottom of the slide stairs.

Only ONE person at a time is allowed on each stair platform (meaning one person is allowed on the top platform and ONE person is allowed on the middle platform). Parents accompanying their small children are the only exception. Please see full water slide rules in the Pool Info Packet.

LAP POOL / LAP LANE

One lap lane is available at all times and is to be kept clear for lap swimmers. (Rule 1.H).

SWIM DIAPERS & COVERS

Swim diapers and plastic pants that fit snuggly around the waist and legs are required for all persons age three and under and for those who are not toilet trained. Parents may be asked to verify that a child is wearing a swim diaper and plastic pants (Rule 1.E).

RAFTS AND FLOATS

No rafts, inflatables, or propeller type devices are allowed in pools, as these can create a visual impediment for the lifeguards. To clarify, swim vests, noodles, arm floats, infant tubes and swim aids are the only flotation devices permitted (Rule 1.N).

RESIDENTS PLEASE BE AWARE,

Lifeguards, Pool Manager and the Pool Management Company have FULL AUTHORITY to interpret pool rules and to enforce their compliance on behalf of the Windermere Homeowners Association, including requesting any person(s) to leave the pool area in the event of noncompliance with operating rules and procedures, or for any other cause, that in his or her judgment warrants such action.

PLEASE be the example!

These lifeguards are in their teens, watching your kids and keeping our pool safe and clean.

Here’s to a beautiful summer!
