Fireworks Safety

It is only June 27th and already a town nearby had a fireworks show. Samantha wasn't too concerned until the finale. The last big boomers made her nervous. For well being of your pups, make sure that during firework shows they have on their collars with IDs on.

I personally cannot tolerate the sound that tags make. I found 2 companies online whose products I like.

This company makes collars in dozens of different fabrics and can embroider your dogs name and your phone… Continue

Pet Airways

I just saw a commercial for Pet Airways.
They only fly pets not humans.
Pups are in the cabin, not cargo.
Checked by attendents every 15 minutes.
They don't fly all over the country but something to check into if you need to fly your pups.
Flights start at $149.00

Small Act of Kindess

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see..

This is not our story. Vera posted it on the Doodle Zoo and was kind enough to allow me to copy and post it here.

I don't know who wrote this nor is it known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed… Continue

Tug Toy and Leash in One

I found a website that sells a tug toy and leash as one. The make the tradional leash or as a Slip Lead (martingale and leash in one).
They have lots of choices or will make yours the colors you want.
I ordered mine but just ordered 'custom' colored one.
I will post pictures when I get them.
A very nice site to work with - my order was ready to be shipped in 2 days of my order.

Never In My Life!!

Flipping channels - stopped at Animal Planet. What do I see? A grooming show that takes gorgeous dogs and turns them into 'living works of art' by using food coloring and clipping and blowdrying,
They turn mostly standard poodles into a Transformer, cowgirl, dinosaurs, a jungle theme who won competition and $2500.
They use wigs, decorations, hair spray and gel.
OMG -
Checked the site and the show is Animal Planet's Most Outrageous Animal Competitions and is it ever!
