K&M Cabin-a sxs Getaway

Your recycling bin holds the key to a happy shelter dog! 📦🐶
‼️We aren’t crazy—we really do want your empty trash! Our pups are in need of "shred-able" enrichment items to keep their brains busy while they wait for their forever homes.
‼️What we’re looking for:
Cardboard Egg Cartons (clean, please!)
Toilet Paper & Paper Towel Tubes
Small, Thin Boxes (think cereal, crackers, or tea boxes)
Paper Grocery Bags
‼️Why it matters: Shelter life can be stressful. Giving a dog a box stuffed with kibble and paper to tear apart mimics natural foraging behavior, lowers cortisol levels, and—most importantly—is a whole lot of fun.
‼️Drop-off Info: Please bring your items to the shelter during normal business hours, Tues-Sat, 12:30- 5:30, or they can be dropped off at Robin's Nest Market and Antiques, 5782 Gen Carl Stiner Hwy, LaFollette, Tuesday -Sat., 10-6

🚨 Poison Hemlock Alert – Tennessee 🚨
Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) is up and about to flower! This toxic, invasive plant is popping up across Tennessee roadsides, fields, and fence lines.

☠️ Why it’s dangerous:
Every part of the plant is poisonous to humans and animals—even inhaling particles while cutting can be harmful. It’s especially dangerous to livestock, pets, and wildlife.

🌿 What to look for:
Tall, hollow stems with distinctive purple spots
Small, white, umbrella-shaped flower clusters

🛑 Thinking about mowing it down? While mowing may be a solution in some cases, it comes with concerns:
- Tiny plant particles can become airborne and settle in nearby grazing areas.
- Livestock and wildlife may accidentally ingest the toxic debris.
- Mowing won’t kill the root system, and the plant may regrow.

⚠️ If you choose to mow:
- Wear protective clothing and a mask.
- Avoid mowing on windy days.
- Keep animals and children far away from the area.

🧤 Manual removal tips:
- Wear full protective gear: gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a mask.
- Use a shovel or spade to remove as much of the root as possible.
- Bag all plant material and dispose of it in the trash—never compost or burn it.
- Wash tools, gloves, and clothing thoroughly after handling.

🌿 Herbicide option:
Targeted herbicide applications can be effective—always read and follow product label directions, and wear the personal protective equipment specified on the label.

📌 Removal on private property is the landowner’s responsibility. For additional educational guidance on identification and safe control methods, contact your local Extension office.

✅ Know what to look for—stay safe this spring!

1 year of renting our house out and ending with 33 stays in that first year!
We are so thankful to everyone who gave us a shot and really helped us hone in on making our cabin comfortable and easy for anyone staying.
We hope 2025 is an even better year, to welcome some new faces and to welcome back some familiar faces!
Happy holidays ❤️

Hi friends.
As you may know, Florida is going to be hit by hurricane Milton tonight into early morning. We are safe and have evacuated to north Florida.
Please pray for Florida and all residents of Florida during the next few weeks. This is an incredible storm our beautiful home state is about to endure and it can change a lot in these next 24 hours for our community. We hope you all are safe, prepared and out of harms way. 🩵

🚨 PLEASE READ AND SHARE🚨

Milton has maintained its intensity overnight and is still a CAT 5 hurricane.

All models indicate vertical wind shear will increase over the hurricane later today causing Milton to weaken, but this will not matter much. Milton will make landfall as a very dangerous hurricane. There will be major wind damage where the core of the hurricane moves on shore and record storm surge south of the landfall point. In my almost 35 year career here I hoped that I never had to type this, but it is increasingly obvious that this will be a life changing hurricane for many. All of our reliable models agree on a landfall point somewhere near to 50 or so miles south of Tampa Bay. The core of the hurricane will move across the state tonight bringing damaging winds all the way to the east coast. We will use radar and satellite fixes all day to narrow down the point of landfall.

I am going to say this again. This is a very serious situation and you should closely follow orders from their local emergency management officials. IF TOLD TO EVACUATE THEN EVACUATE! Your storm preparations need to be rushed to completion. Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for portions of our area.

I will post here as much as I can today - Please follow our coverage on FOX 13 News - Tampa Bay, If you lose power you can watch us via the FOX local app.
