Right now, it’s hard to imag-ine the most pressing issuefacing people today. The earlyMarch Tornado, the mid-MarchCovid-19 worldwide pandemic,the tragic death of GeorgeFloyd, the proposed 34% prop-erty tax increase, an upcomingsurgical procedure, or perhapsanother personal problemfaced by all?

Granted, there is no way tosolve the proverbial problemsof the world, so as I’ve oftenheard said, “Think Globally …Act locally.” Since there is anelection now upcoming locally,should this article focus onsomething over which there isno control? Or should it focuson matters at hand?

All Nashvillians need todecide how you feel about theproposed 34% property taxincrease since it does affecteach of us living in MetroNashville Davidson County.The financial aspects of thisproposed property tax increaserelates directly to the titleof this periodic column,“Bookkeeping the Business ofLife!”

Whether you are young andjust recently graduated fromcollege and bravely heading outinto this world, aka life, onyour own, in your first apart-ment, whether you are middleaged with a few small childrenat home, whether perhaps inyour 50’s with kids in college,or whether even older, say latesixties with grandchildren tolate seventies on a fixed or lim-ited income, the property taxincrease will hit everyone inNashville across the board -unlike Covid-19 which can be“foiled” by shutting down busi-nesses and everybody wearinga mask in public.

By everyone, the suggestionincludes those who rent apart-ments in the form of a rentincrease, those who lease com-mercial real estate to conductbusiness, those with families ornot, who own a home with orwithout a mortgage, and thosewho are hoping to retire anddisappear peacefully into thenight as the universe unfolds.

Assuming there had been apublic forum on such matters,and there may well have been,which I failed to attend, due to

work, family obligations, andCovid-19, it may have gonesomething like this?

“Nashville Citizen (NC):Hello, Mayor Cooper and

Members of Our Nashville CityCounsel.

Why is it necessary to have a34% property tax increasegiven these uncertain econom-ic times due to the tornado andthe coronavirus?

Mayor Cooper (MC): Thank You for your insight-

ful question.The tornado cost Nashvil-

lians over $200 Million Dollarsand the Coronavirus will costNashvillians another estimat-ed $300 Million Dollars due tobusiness and school shutdowns and other such relatedeconomic hardships.

That’s over $500 million dol-lars! Almost half a billion ….

Since we can’t print moneylike the Federal Government,we must balance our budget, soa property tax increase is themost efficient and effective wayto cover this unexpected eco-nomic shortfall.

NC: For a city the size ofNashville, our rainy day fundshould be 30% of our $2.4Billion Dollar annual budget.Right? Which is $720 MillionDollars, correct?

That’s only four months ofcash flow, and even DaveRamsey recommends sixmonth of emergency funds forthe average citizen.

As an elected official, areyou not charged with theresponsibility to protect ourcollective financial wellbeingas tax paying citizens for atleast four months?

MC: Why yes, you are cor-rect.

In fact, recently, the State ofTennessee was actually consid-ering the need to take over ourcity’s finances due to the factthat Nashville ranked lastplace in the top 20 largest met-ropolitan cities in America forlack of an adequate rainy dayfund.

Did you know, we closed ourbooks last fiscal year with only$12 million dollars in the bank?And, as your newly electedMayor, our city’s economicshortfalls are NOT my fault,

NC: Over here, Mr. Mayor!MC: Ok, over there, yes.NC: Thank You, Mr. Mayor.So if we as Nashville taxpay-

ers, had our $720 million dollarrainy day fund, then we wouldbe able to cover the $500 milliondollar unexpected economicshort fall caused by the tornadoand the coronavirus, with $220million dollars left to spare, stillremaining in our rainy dayfund?

And therefore no need for a34% property tax increase. Isthat also correct?

MC: Yes! Correct again. Whydo you ask?

NC: Umm, because my prop-erty taxes are about to go up by34% and I wonder why we do nothave an adequate rainy day fundto cover this unexpected eco-nomic short fall?

MC: Because prior elected

city officials did not adequatelyprepare financially for thisunexpected economic calamity.

NC: But isn’t that what arainy day fund is for - an unex-pected economic calamity?

It seems like the funds shouldhave already been set aside tocover just such unexpectedevents. As a citizen of Nashvilleyourself, would you agree?

MC: Yes, I see your point.Ever since Nashville and

Davidson County became a cut-ting edge, major MetropolitanCity, leadership has always beenDemocratic, including themayor’s office. In fact, did yourealize that since MetroNashville was formed in 1963,there has never been aRepublican mayor in our little,now big, town?

So now, as your duly electedMayor, it’s up to me … I think it’stime I changed that!!!

In fact, let’s start by peaceful-ly removing any statues ofMetro Nashville’s first mayor,Beverly Briley. We’ve certainlycome a long way, I’m sure youagree?

Next question, please, overthere, yes please ....”

OK, all kidding aside, the cur-rently proposed 34% propertytax increase is a big decision for

our fine city. And what concernsme most is that we are simplysweeping the economic sins ofthe past 57 years under the “rugof taxation” while simultane-ously sounding the alarm of acurrent economic crisis. What ifthere had been no tornado, anunpredictable act of nature, orthe coronavirus pandemic, per-haps another unpredictable actof nature? Would the city beaddressing the more criticalissue of poor financial leader-ship and lack of adequate eco-nomic planning to properly pro-tect the taxpaying citizens ofNashville?

Every single person readingthis week’s column has to “book-keep and balance” your own per-sonal budgets and checkbooks oryou would eventually be incar-cerated, sooner or later, for pass-ing bad checks. Should we nothold our city leadership to thesame high standards of fiduci-ary responsibility? Yes, weshould, because it’s our darnmoney being spent.

If you agree, may I recom-mend the following website tosign a petition to temporarilyput the brakes on the currentlyproposed 34% property taxincrease and reconsider otheroptions available BEFORE we

let this increase become law andeveryone financially suffers forgenerations to come? Pleaseremember, a property taxincrease is not a one time, oneyear, event. It will continue for-ever, and ever, and may even outlive the coronavirus … and itwill definitely devalue the veryproperty being taxed.

Here is the website: www.NashvilleTaxpayerProtectionAct.Com

On a lighter note, the winnerof last week’s bookkeeping ques-tion is Alex Schofield! My sin-cere thanks to all readers whoresponded, and everyone whodid respond got the right answer,congratulations, $200,000 dol-lars! If the fair market value of

your home is $500,000, and themortgage on the home is$300,000, then the equity in thehome is $200,000. Why? Becauseif you sold the home for its fairmarket value, you would receive$500,000 (assuming net of com-missions, etc., let’s not over com-plicate things) and then you payoff the mortgage of $300,000, andyou would still have $200,000 leftin your piggy bank! No trickquestion here, and it’s truly thatsimple!

In fact, all bookkeeping is thatsimple. Please continue to read,and I will attempt to explain fur-ther in the next column, comingout in two weeks, how it allworks. Gosh, I wish propertytaxes were that simple.

Moreover,the campaign aims to spotlightthe tens of hundreds of thou-sands of Metro residents withdisabilities, and their contri-butions to the community.

The Mayor, the AdvisoryCommittee, and the TDC

“Across the state, over 1.6million Tennesseans havesome form of disability, mostof which we just can’t see.While it certainly includes ourfriends that use assistivedevices like as a wheelchair, orcane; the law protects individ-uals with many other diag-noses such as breast cancer,diabetes, and heart disease,”

said Carol Westlake, ExecutiveDirector of the TennesseeDisability Coalition. “After 30years, we recognize the impor-tant progress we’ve made, andlook forward to working withleaders like Mayor Cooper toensure the full and equal par-ticipation of all.”

Anniversary...

Craig W. Smalley, MST, EA,has been admitted to practicebefore the Internal RevenueService as an Enrolled Agent,has a Certificate in Taxationfrom UCLA, and is a CertifiedTax Resolution Specialist. Hehas been published in NewYork Times, Chicago Tribune,NASDAQ, Yahoo Finance,Christian Science Monitor,and is a columnist for account-ing trade publications, includ-ing AICPA Tax Insider alongwith various scholarly publi-cations used in his classes. Hespecializes in taxation, and iswell versed on U.S. Tax Courtrulings. He has appeared as aguest on countless radio showsand podcasts. He recognizesthat most business ownerswant the same thing; theywant to make an above average

income from their businessand then, in their retirement,they want to pass on theirbusiness to their kids.However, many times the chil-dren are sick and tired of hear-ing about the various ups anddowns of the business thatthey rebel against continuingthe business, even though theymay inherit it with relativeease. Knowing that their chil-dren may be more than tired ofhearing about the variationsin the flow of income andexpense, the owner maychoose to sell the business, andsome just want to give it away.However, all these optionshave unique tax concerns thatmust be considered. In hisrecent article and assumingthat the owner has recognizedthat the S-Corporation is a

superior vehicle for personalcontrol and protection of busi-ness assets, we will focusmainly on the removal of an S-Corporation from an estate.

There really is not a rightway, versus a wrong way topass along an S-Corporation toyour family. There are manyways to divest your financialinterest in such businesses.It’s helpful to review some S-Corporation rules before dart-ing out down the wrong trail.First, S-Corporations can onlyhave one class of stock, whichcan make it challenging forpassing the business alongwhile still alive and wanting tomaintain control of the busi-ness after the transfer. Themost common way to passalong the family business isthrough either a GrantorRetained Annuity Trust(GRAT), or a Grantor RetainedUnitrust (GRUT). Now we willanalyze the nature of thattransfer. First, how does aGRAT work? Assuming thecompany is worth $1 milliontoday, the owner of the S-Corporation sells his/herstock to the GRAT for $1 mil-lion. During the life of theGRAT, the shareholder retainscontrol over the S-Corporationand the value of the companyfreezes at $1 million. A GRATis good for ten years and the

current income of the S-Corporation is used to pay thegrantor $100,000 a year for tenyears. The trust is irrevocableand is the owner of the sharesof stock. The beneficiaries ofthe GRAT are the owner’s chil-dren. After the GRAT is com-pleted, the thought is the valueof the S-Corporation will goup. When the trust terminatesafter its ten-year term, thenthe beneficiaries inherit thestock of the S-Corporation.Whoa! Is your head swim-ming? Well, read on.

Since the Estate Tax thresh-old is $5.49 million and almost$11 million if portability isselected, this creates a uniquesituation. Since the GRATfreezes assets’ value, the S-Corporation is then removedfrom the GRAT the owner’staxable estate. If the ownerhappens to die while the GRATis still in effect, then the GRATis dissolved with the currentvalue of the S-Corporationstock is reverted back to theowner’s taxable estate.Confused? Keep reading.

Now let’s shift gears. If aGrantor Retained Unitrust(GRUT) is a form of irrevoca-ble non-charitable trust.During its term, the trustmakes payments to the donorof the trust (the grantor) thatare equal to a fixed percentage

of the trust's value, as deter-mined on a specified day of theyear. When the trust termi-nates, its remaining principalpasses to remainder benefici-aries named by the grantor,typically children or grand-children.

The grantor of a GRUTmakes a taxable gift to theremainder beneficiaries. Theamount of this taxable gift iscomputed when the trust isfunded and equals the fundingamount minus the presentvalue of the payments that thetrust will make to the grantor.There is no transfer taxassessed at the time the trustterminates and distributes itsremainder to its ultimate bene-ficiaries. Consequently, aGRUT can be an effectivemethod for transferring assetsto heirs at a reduced transfertax cost. Remember, we wantto avoid taxes but never evadetaxes. That would get youroom and board in a federalprison. I like picking my ownclothes and eating without aguard standing near. Comeback next week for more.

TaxingMatters

Tax Problems: Ownership of abusiness and subsequent legacy

lower carbon emissions, im-prove public health andresilience to climate change,and lift up the nation’s mostvulnerable citizens.

The coronavirus pandemichas hit communities of colorand low-income householdsparticularly hard, the sameindividuals and families inneighborhoods that suffermost from the harsh impactsof a changing climate: toxicpollution, skyrocketing tem-peratures, drought and wild-fires, and extreme weatherevents like floods, tornadoes,and hurricanes. ClimateMayors state that they are

determined to build a strong,green economy that ensuresall Americans are preparedfor future health, economic,and environmental shocks.

Recognizing the need towork together at every level ofgovernment to move beyondthis devastating pandemic,Mayor Cooper and otherClimate Mayors are urgingCongress to work with stateand city leadership to buildnew policies and amplify exist-ing programs that havealready proven effective. Theylist several goals for Congressto prioritize with any econom-ic recovery package, includ-ing:

• Build for a BetterFuture: Returning to the sta-

tus quo is insufficient to meetthe challenges of climatechange and economic dispari-ties in our communities. Wemust increase resolve andambition to reinvest in munic-ipalities.

• Lead w ith Equity:Federal investment shouldinclude some level of priorityfor communities that havebeen historically underserved,including those disproportion-ately impacted by climatechange and the COVID-19 pan-demic.

• Prioritize Multiple Bene-fits: The best investmentswill also have benefits forjob creation, neighborhoodresilience, and better public

health outcomes in cities.Locally, Mayor Cooper’s

Sustainability Advisory Com-mittee is working with hisadministration to produce rec-ommended strategies for cli-mate mitigation and adapta-tion that similarly infuseresilience, equity, and otherbenefits such as public healthand neighborhood livabilityinto Metro Nashville’s sustain-ability related policies andprograms.

Representing 74 millionAmericans from 48 states,Climate Mayors is a peer-to-peer network of 461 U.S. citymayors who have committedto fighting climate change.Originally founded in 2014, thenetwork’s ranks swelled toalmost 400 mayors in response

to the Trump administration’swithdrawal from the ParisAgreement. Climate Mayorscommit to taking ambitiousaction to meet each of theircities’ current climate goals,while working togethertowards achieving our nation-al Paris targets. ClimateMayors is founded andChaired by Los Angeles MayorEric Garcetti, and Co-Chairedby Mayors Sylvester Turner(Houston) and Martin J. Walsh(Boston).

Letter...

There is an old house off ofGallatin Road between Stouseand McClurken Streets whichwas built in 1855. At one time,the old house was owned byJames C. Warner and used as asummer home since it was truly“out in the country” at the time.The home was named Renraw.

Mr. Warner's son, PercyWarner, who later became theDirector of Parks for the city,developed the extensive groundswith lavish gardens. He also hadan interesting collection ofbirds, featuring pheasants from

Africa which he later donated tothe Glendale Park.

The Warners sold Renraw(the name of the home wasWarner spelled backward) about1912 and moved to Royal Oakeson Harding Road. The old housetoday has been adapted and serv-ing as the central building of theNashville Auto- Diesel College inEast Nashville.

Why do some businesses fail when others succeeded? It’s simple! If you’re out ofsight and not visible to the consumer, that’s the first step toward failure. The secondstep is being out of mind, in other words the consumer very seldom or maybe neverthinks of you when they need your product or service. In a large number of cases, thesetwo steps lead to the third step...out of business.

A good way to be visible and in the mind of the consumer is to have an advertisingprogram that gets results and fits your budget.

Most businesses carry insurance in case of a fire, a burglary, or if someone slips andfalls in your store. Why not build your business and insure it against a future loss ofbusiness by starting an advertising program that gets results. If you have the product orservice the consumer wants, we can help you build your business.

We publish 8 newspapers in Nashville-Davidson County, give us a call and let us writeyou an advertising prescription that will get you results.

Nashville wake up! Nashvilleis in debt and the the formerdemocratic mayors have bank-rupt this city. I’m a democratand if there are republicansthat can help us out why not?

Replace the ones who keepgiving away our town and rais-ing taxes so high that people arelosing their homes. Where isthe love we once had? Thankyou.

These things are possi-ble if all of us do theright thing now

So, I just saw the Governorspress conference that he heldThursday, July 23rd at 3pmabout masks. Once again, hesides with Trump in basicallysaying wear a mask if you wantto but I will not mandate it! Justlike his Republican Governorbuddies in Georgia, Texas andFlorida have done. The numberof cases in Tennessee grew by1,400 State wide today andthat includes another 425 inNashville. Tennessee now hasclose to 90,000 cases of Covid-19State wide out of the State pop-ulation of 6.8 million. That nowbrings Tennessee into the topfive States as far as number ofcases based on population, wayto go Governor Lee and MayorCooper! Neither the Governoror the Mayor have the guts to dowhat is right and that is requiremasks and shut downBroadway period! Every newsoutlet in Nashville showed allthe bars open last weekend,crowded, people packed on thesidewalks, partying and no onein a mask. Where did all thosepeople go when they leftBroadway? They went back toDonelson, Antioch, Brentwood,

Columbia, Clarksville, Smyrnaand Murfreesboro. They wenthome to expose all the people intheir house, the people theywork with, they got on a planeand went back to wherever theywere from. They went back tothe hotel they were staying atand infected people in the eleva-tor, the restaurant, the personworking the front desk. Then allthose people went home orwhere they go after work andexposed more people as well.People do you see how thisworks? By the way, real goodenforcement on the mask man-date on Broadway and Metro,way to step up in the time ofneed! There are now fifteenStates that you can not go to ifyou are from Tennessee withoutquarantining for fourteen daysat your own expense once youget there. The Governor andMayor are not the only ones put-ting the rest of Tennesseans indanger, it is all the people whorefuse to wear a mask with theclaim "my body". Hey, it is yourbody, get sick and die, I don'tcare! But, don't take me orsomeone from my family downwith you because of your self-ish ego. Stores need to do a bet-ter job of enforcing it as well,post a sign on your door "NoShirt, No Shoes, No Mask, NoService" and stick to it! Whocares if the customer leaves, did

you want him in your businessinfecting your staff and othercustomers anyway? This isgoing to get worse before it getsbetter due to the slow responseand lack of response by ourelected officials. Not just in thestores but in schools, churches,sports, businesses and oureveryday way of life. You maynot want to wear a mask, yesthat is your right! However, it isalso my right to ban you frommy business, so please justremember that as well. If every-one could put their ego andpolitical party aside for four-teen day, two weeks, and just tryto help each other out thenmaybe, just maybe we can see alight at the end of this tunnel.Then maybe you can spend theupcoming Holidays together,you will get to go see your kidsplay sports again, get to seeyour parent who is in assistedliving face to face and notthrough a window, go to amovie, go to a Titans game, aPredators game, a Soundsgame, go to your favorite restau-rant(if it can stay open), travelwith the family and stay in ahotel, get on a plane or just walkthrough the mall like normal.These things are all possibleagain if all of us can do theright thing now!

Be thankfulIf you were born in this

country please be thankful.

Not the right price atcheck out

Recently I was shopping atKroger in Green Hills and therewas a section of summer mer-chandise marked down 50%.When looking at what wasavailable they had a lower shelfwith various games likeConnect Four, Clue and Jenga.Though I did not really wantJenga for myself, a friend hadsaid about getting the game andso I thought I would pick one upfor her. Well, after finishing upthe rest of my shopping I madeit up to the self-checkout laneand when I scanned the Jengagame, it came up just $3 off andnot $7! I asked the young clerkabout the price not coming upright and he said the originallyprice was correct with $3 com-ing off the original price. Well Imentioned it was in the 50% offsection and there was no shelfprice marking that it was a dif-ferent price. He still would nothonor the 50% discount.

This just irritates me that ifKroger intended on not havingthat game 50% off, why haveseveral as well as other gamesin that same marked down sec-tion. It almost makes me thinkthey do it on purpose thinkingwhen you’re up at the checkoutline shoppers are not going toalways be paying attention tohow the prices are being rungup.

I still think he should havehonored the price that it wassupposed to be and that was notgood customer service.

Scare tacticsCooper is now using scare

tactics to get our minds off thehuge property tax increase.That is all I have to say.

Too long narratives I’m ticked off at these long

narratives in this column. Thecomments need to be shorterand not go on and on.

Bar owners vs MayorCooper

It has been interesting towatch the back and forthbetween the Mayor and the barowners. The city puts out amandate and the bar owners tryto weasel their way around it. Ihave been amazed by watchingthe bar owners taking advan-tage of Mayor Cooper. First,back in early July, many barsdid not close as mandated sincethey claimed they were restau-rants (over 50% revenue fromfood). Some of these bar/restau-rants were a joke. Second, therecent order for bar/restau-rants to close at 10 pm is notbeing followed by some of thebar owners or managers. Therewas one bar in Green Hillswhich had customers still in thebar at 11:00 pm on last Fridayand Saturday nights. Whenmany Nashville bars normallyclose at 3:00 am by the normalcity mandate, the last call isaround 2:15 and everyone is outof there and doors locked at3:00. Apparently on Friday, thefirst day closing at 10, the lastcall was at 9:55 and most of thepatrons of the bar/restaurantdid not leave until 10:30-11:00.Someone does not understandthe definition of closing.

I would encourage MayorCooper to come down hard onthese bar / restaurant ownersthat are stretching the rules. Ifthese bars / restaurants cannothelp stop the spread, Metroought to be pulling their liquor/ beer permits. The only way weare going to get back to somenormalcy is for all of us to worktogether. I want church, school,college, football, soccer, groupgatherings, and even safe bars

Note from the Publisher:

The Ticked Off column has been an avenue for more than 20 years wherereaders can offer a range of opinions on many different topics each week.There are times when we feel some comments are inappropriate and offen-sive; therefore, when that arises the decision is made not to run them.Recently, though, due to human error, a comment was mistakenly includedin this column and The News truly apologizes for any offense or hurt thatoccurred to what was said. We sincerely appreciate our readers and the meanspirited, racial comment does not represent the views of our publications. Thattruly is not what we are about! One of the goals of our weekly newspapers isto continually strive to make our community a better place and for all of us tobe kind and caring towards one another. As we go forward, letʼs all strive to bemore caring for our fellow person and choose love over hate, it comes backtenfold when you do.

Crying wolf when fore-casting the weather

With all the fancy weatherforecasting technology that thenews stations brag about using,why do the weather forecaststill continue to be wrong some-times and it’s hard to plan yourday when they say there’s a 50-60% of rain in the forecast forthat given day and then it neverrains one drop.

That happened two weeksago when I was so sure it wasgoing to rain with it being 60%chance, I put off gardening anddoing some other work outside,then it never rained. But thenthe next week they said 50% soI went ahead and ignored theforecast and I got rained outwhen working outside.

It’s like the weather forecast-ers cry wolf too many times tothe point where you don’t knowwhen to believe them. Lookslike with the decades of experi-ence studying storm patterns,they would be sharper andmore accurate with their fore-casts whenever there’s a chancefor rain.

So I guess in 20 years it willbe the same mess with predict-ing rain since they have notcome any further from 20 yearsago saying it was going to rain.

Be considerate not topark so close

I’m ticked off that the otherday I was parking my SUV in aparking garage and after park-ing away from everyone elsethis stupid person parked theirSUV close right beside me andthey even crossed the parkingline coming over into my space.

It would be nice if you see avehicle parked at the end of aparking lot, maybe they do notwant another vehicle beingright up on them like this per-son’s SUV was with my vehicle.

People need to be a littlemore considerate and giveother cars space when there areall these other parking spots touse.

A really cute way to getmy attention

I really wish some radio sta-tions would not use the honkingof the horn during their com-mercial breaks. It’s aggravatingto be driving and then look sud-denly to see if someone is blow-ing their horn for some reasononly to realize it was the radiobeing cute to get your attention.

Banks, reopen thelobby

When is the lobby ever goingto be available again to go in atthe bank so you can directlytalk with someone and conduct-some banking business in per-son. I still have never got use tothe drive-thru method whenthere’s more to do than a singletransaction. Let’s say its veryinconvenient, and yes you canset up an appointment foranother day, regardless there isnot a si,gle customer in thebank. When I’ve been at thedrive-thru and notice no carswere even up front in the park-ing lot, they still would not letme come in and the teller said Iwould have to make an appoint-ment for the next day, whichmeans I would have to make asecond trip which doesn’t makesense.

I would just like to say wewould really be in trouble if the

grocery stores were acting sillylike the banks.

Enforce the use ofmasks

I am disappointed at theGreen Hills Kroger for notenforcing the use of masks intheir store, starting with theemployees. Every time I visitthis store I see a young manwalking around with his maskon his chin or covering hismouth only, at one point, Icalled this to his attention heactually pulled his mask all theway to his neck and startedtalking to me, I guess he wantedto show me that a customer wasnot tell him to wear his maskproperly. Under the presentpandemic of Covid 19 thisbehavior poses danger to thecustomers and other employ-ees. Maybe this young man doesnot understand he is puttinghimself in danger, not to men-tion putting customers andco-workers in danger too. Ialso walked by the freshmeat/seafood department andthe employee behind the count-er was singing! Kroger shouldenforce the use of masks to pro-tect their customers andemployees.

Bringing a pet home for thefirst time - even if you alreadyhave other pets - can be anexciting moment. However, it'simportant to involve the wholefamily in discussing whetheryour family will foster or adopt,and what each family member'sresponsibilities with the newpet will be. It also takes prepa-ration and patience to ensure asmooth transition.

Regardless of the type ofcompanion you're welcominginto your home, adjusting to anew environment can be over-whelming and could lead toanxiety. Because dogs and catsdo not communicate likehumans, they often expressanxiety by misbehaving, whichmakes it important to be will-ing to spend the first severaldays bonding with your pet andforming good habits.

Visit your local shelter oranimal welfare organization tocomplete necessary forms andbackground check, and consid-er this advice from the expertsat PetSmart to help set you andyour new furry friend up for asuccessful homecoming.

Introduce Your PetsWhen bringing a new pet

into the family, set up a properintroduction with any currentpets to help make the transitioneasier. For dogs, schedule theinitial meeting at a neutralenvironment outside of yourhome. Cats typically need a

more gradual introduction toget comfortable. Start by keep-ing your felines in separaterooms with their own litterboxes, but let them see eachother periodically through aglass window to get used tosharing the space. Allowingyour pets to play with eachother's toys can also createfamiliarity with their newhousemate's scent.

Pet-Proof Your HomeBecause new pets can be

especially curious and jumponto high surfaces or squeezeinto small spaces, ensureclothes, cleaning supplies, elec-trical wires or cords and otherpotential hazards are out ofreach. Other measures you cantake to pet-proof your homeinclude keeping toilet lidsclosed, covering vents andlatching trash can lids. Alsocreate a pet-friendly space witha bed or another way to divertattention, such as a scratchingpost for cats.

Prepare the NecessitiesDecrease stress before bring-

ing your new companion homeby getting as many of the neces-sities ahead of time as possible.Ensuring your pet comes hometo his or her own crate or bed,food and water bowls, a collarwith identification, leash, food,necessary pest treatments anda variety of toys can make theadjustment to new surround-

ings easier.

Create a ScheduleCreating a routine for your

companion's mealtimes, bath-room breaks and playtime canhelp make the transition easieron both you and your pet. Whenbuilding out the schedule, keepin mind that younger pets typi-cally need to relieve themselvesmore often, and puppies andkittens also often require moreexercise than older pets. Plantime for daily walks, solo play-time and trips to the park orbackyard to play fetch.

Keep Your Pet Happy andHealthy

While a proper diet and plen-ty of exercise can go a long waytoward keeping your pet feelinghis or her best, ensure yourfurry friend looks the part byregularly bathing him or herand maintaining a healthy coatby brushing often with at-homegrooming tools. It is also impor-tant to find a veterinarianwho's equipped to handle breed-specific needs and scheduleroutine checkups to stay on topof vaccines and any potentialhealth concerns. Speak withyour foster coordinator to findout about foster-specificrequirements.
