Health & Fitness with Patti Shaw

♦️“Yesterday I adopted the oldest, sickest dog from a shelter. I will never forget his eyes, when I entered the cages he didn't even bother to look at me, like he knew that I wouldn't even see him, curled up in a corner, accepted his fate.
The volunteer told me several times... But are you sure about that? Are you sure about this? Yes!!!
I want this dog, he opened the cage, I ran to him, suddenly he looked
me as if I saw an angel... He fell asleep in my arms...Probably the first peaceful sleep he'd had in a long time.🐾❤️♦️

Post hurricane ride. Life is good - we are blessed and grateful ❤️

PLEASE BE AWARE OF UNLISCENSED CONTRACTORS!

To all the residents of Cape Coral & Lee County, as we begin the recovery process from Hurricane Ian, now is the time to be vigilant of who you hire to repair your home.

With the amount of damage Hurricane Ian has done to our area, this is an opportunity for unlicensed contractors to come into the area and take advantage of our residents. Now there are many licensed and reputable contractors coming into our area to assist with damage repairs but please take the time to follow these few tips before you make your decision to hire a contractor.

1. If the price is too good too be true, then I would proceed with caution.

2. If they inform you that you do not need a permit to proceed, then I would proceed with caution. The CCCIA is currently working with City Officials on implementing an Emergency Permitting Process as we did in Hurricane Irma.

3. Never and I repeat NEVER pay the full amount up front with the unlicensed contractor telling you that I can give you a "Better Deal" if you pay up front.

4. Ask to see their license, our contractors have worked hard to obtain their licenses and hold proper Workman's Comp & Liability Insurances. They will not have a problem showing you their credentials.

These next few weeks are going to be difficult for our City as we start to rebuild and the CCCIA wants to make sure that our residents are in the know and properly taken care of. We have an extensive membership of licensed professionals ready to serve.

Stay Safe Everyone and The CCCIA will continue to update you,
