Dear Long Islander,
May has brought us more showers than April, but things are looking up heading into the weekend, and next week. There are plenty of great indoor and outdoor Events and Things to Do going on, so no matter what weatherman predicts, you can be sure the forecast will include fun if you're on Long Island. As the weather continues to warm up, there are more outdoor festivals and summer celebrations. Over the next few weeks, the Class of 2012 will graduate, and we will also be celebrating Memorial Day on the 28th - giving many of us an extra day of free time to enjoy doing all of what Long Island has to offer. For the best of the best for this weekend, make sure to check out our Weekend Events, and for a full week of fun, see our full Events Calendar. If you're going to be at the HIA Business Expo this upcoming Thursday, make sure to stop by LongIsland.com's booth and say hi!

Hot Off the Presses
Keeping Your Pets Safe & Sound as the Weather Warms Up
 Some Tips and Pointers for Keeping Furry Friends Healthy & Happy
Long Island residents are itching to shed their layers of clothing in preperation of summer as it grows warmer and warmer each day. Forget the jackets, long sleeves, and pants! It's all about tank-tops, shorts, and flip-flops once June rolls around. Although this is a luxury that we can enjoy, our four legged friends aren't so lucky. While pets like cats and dogs literally do shed as the tempetures rise, they can't take off the entire coat of fur when they need to cool down. Overheating, or heat prostration, can be just as serious of a problem for animals as it is for people. We've put together a number of tips to help pet owners keep thier furry friends happy, healthy, and cool all summer long - check it out!
