Appreciating Our Canine Friends

Posted: August 26, 2010 – 8:44 am
A big M-E-O-W to you! Nice to see you again!

cute-puppy As a cat, I may not have a lot of good things to say about dogs. Yet, there certainly is a reason that they are man’s best friend. Cats, on the other hand, our woman’s best friend. Welcome to National Dog Day!

We all know about dog days. If you are like most of the country, you are knee deep in them. However, today celebrates dogs for the companionship they offer and to recognize the threat that both dogs and cats have—homelessness.

Pets  are the sources of unconditional love. Your spouse may get angry for you. Your boss may under-appreciate you. Your friends may ignore you. Your dog will be your constant companion.

Celebrate Your Mutt

Posted: July 31, 2010 – 8:02 am

mutt-dog Many people say that mutts make the best pets. Since mutts are the only dogs I have ever owned, I can agree. Welcome to Mutt’s Day!

Some of the problems associated with dogs are inbreeding and the resulting congenital defects. You are probably aware of certain health conditions associated with purebred dogs. Even your pet insurance company recognizes this, adding exclusions to pet insurance for certain conditions with particular breeds.

The important message to take away is that your mixed breed cat or dog is wonderful unto itself. You don’t have to have a purebred pet. Mutts need homes just as much as purebred animals.

If you are looking for a new pet, don’t forget the ones that may need you most.

black-dog One of the most difficult challenges of summer is ensuring that your pets stay cool despite the hot temperatures of a summer day. Now there is a way to make sure Fido is well hydrated. Welcome Doggie Fountain!

The self-serve fountain attaches to your hose. When Fido is ready for a drink, he trips the fountain by stepping on the metal activation pad. No more will Fido have to sweat it out when it’s time for a cool drink.
