How to Be the Safest Pokémon Trainer There Ever Was

DURAND, Mich., – We’re sure you’ve heard about the Pokémon Go craze at this point, and you’ve probably seen more people than usual out and about staring at their phone screens. We want to give you some tips on how to be the safest Pokémon trainer there ever was and make sure you’re staying safe and having fun!

Tips to be a Safe Pokémon Trainer…

On Foot
The premise of the game is to get outside and explore in the real world. By walking to game locations like Poké stops and gyms, you can hatch your eggs and catch some Pokémon on the way! Poké stops and gyms are usually located in highly populated areas, so be sure to be aware of your surroundings.

• Look for traffic when crossing the street.
• Avoid walking along busy streets that don’t have sidewalks, especially in the dark. (Remember, you probably won’t find things here anyway.)
• Don’t play alone, especially at night or in unfamiliar places.
• Be aware of your surroundings! Don’t be rude to people around you.

On Bike
Biking is definitely a great way to get outside and exercise, but it’s not the recommended method for catching Pokémon. You can download maps of your area to check out where Poké stops are located. This allows you to plan your adventure.

• Stay off of your phone while you’re riding. If you leave the app open in your pocket or bag then GPS can still locate you for egg hatching purposes. 
• Be aware of cars and people. Don’t try to play the game between destinations.
• Stay aware of your surrounding and don’t leave your belongings unattended!

DON’T POKEMON GO AND DRIVE
Don’t text, don’t change the music, don’t Pokémon Go and drive. Just don’t. If you’re distracted while driving, you’re a danger to yourself and others. If you really must travel for Pokémon Go, use the map to plan your stops and don’t play in between! Keep your phone out of reach so you won’t be tempted to use it!

We hope our tips on how to be the safest Pokémon trainer there ever was will inspire you have tons of safe fun! If you have any tips to share with us, we’d love to hear from you! If you interested in a new vehicle to get you to those trainer meet-ups, come down to Graff Chevy in Durand and let one of our sales professionals put you in the perfect ride. We also have tons of great deals on leases during our Double Your Trade event this month!

Dos and Don’ts for Keeping Your Dog Cool

DURAND, Mich., – It’s July in Michigan, and we know that means it can get hot! If you have a pup, it’s important to keep them cool in the heat! We’ve created this list of dos and don’ts for keeping your dog cool this summer.

Fun Ways to Keep Cool

• Purchase a kiddie pool for your pooch to play in! It’s an inexpensive, outdoor toy to keep your pup cooled off.
• You can create your own doggie pupsicles or ice cream by following these recipes, or freezing your pet’s favorite treat in an ice cube tray. This will keep them busy and cool.
• If your pup likes to swim, find a dog friendly beach nearby and let them go for a dip. Swimming is great exercise without the threat of overheating.

Doggie Dos…

• Have a cool place for them to lie down outside in the shade. Inside, they’ll probably find a cool place on their own, like the tile floor. You can also provide them with a chilled towel.
• Always have water available! At home, keep their water dish fresh and full. Bring water on walks and car rides. Don’t forget to provide them with water outside as well.

Doggie Don’ts

• Don’t shave your dog this summer! Skip the groomer even though you may think their fur is too hot. A dog’s coat actually regulates their body temperature, so that hair cut could do more harm than good. Short fur could also allow for sunburn to occur.
• Don’t exercise your dog in extreme heat. Go for walks or play ball in the morning or the evening when it’s cooler outside. Or skip the play time all together if it’s just too hot.

We hope our list of dos and don’ts for keeping your dog cool will help you in the heat this summer! One more thing to keep in mind: never leave your dog unattended in a vehicle! Even with the windows down, it’s way to hot for your dog inside your car. Leave your pup at home where they will be safe and cool.

Don’t forget to check our Summer Car Care pages to keep your vehicle in good shape this summer! If you’re in need of a new vehicle, we have a number of electronic brochure pages for you to take a look at, including the new Chevy Camaro and Malibu!

10 Awesome Camping Hacks

DURAND, Mich., – Summer in Michigan is the perfect time to go camping! If your family is planning any camping trips this summer, be sure to read our 10 awesome camping hacks to make your life a little easier in the wilderness. We think these tips and tricks make camping much more convenient!

1. Store Matches in a Mason Jar

Before you leave home, transfer your matches from their cardboard box into a mason jar. This will ensure they stay dry in the case of rain! Be sure to buy strike anywhere matches and glue a piece of sandpaper to the lid before you leave!

2. Gallon Jug Lamp

Bring a gallon jug and a headlamp to make an easy lantern for your tent or picnic area. By filling the jug with water and facing the headlamp inward, you can create a ton of ambient light.

3. Pre-whisk Eggs

Mealtime can be crazy when you’re cooking over a fire! Save some trouble by whisking your eggs at home and storing them in a plastic container. This also saves you from having crushed eggs in your cooler.

4. Toothpaste Dots

Rather than bringing a whole tube of toothpaste, you can create lighter, more portable, toothpaste dots. Be sure to allow enough time to dry before you head out on your trip.

5. DIY Fire Starters

Don’t struggle to get the fire started! Fill empty toilet paper tubes with lint from the dryer and light with a match to get your fire going.

6. Prepare Salad in To-Go cups

For an easy campsite lunch, prepare chopped salad at home before you leave. Store the salad in plastic to-go cups to keep them fresh and dry in the cooler!

7. Store Snacks in Plastic Containers

Rather than bringing bags or boxes of snack foods, transfer your snacks into plastic containers before leaving. This way your snacks will stay dry and fresh, and they wont get crunched!

8. Store Plastic Cutlery and Napkins

To keep your picnic area more organized, you can keep your plastic silverware and paper napkins in a recycled drink holder!

9. Collapsible Trash Can

Use a collapsible mesh laundry basket lined with a trash bag to keep your trash accessible and contained!

10. 2-Liter Toilet Paper Holder

Keep your toilet paper dry by storing it inside a repurposed 2-liter. Just cut off the bottom and excess plastic, pop in the TP, and pop the bottom back on!

We think these 10 awesome camping hacks will make your camping adventures much more convenient and enjoyable! Do you have any favorite camping tips you’d like to share with us? Let us know what we missed!
