Naughty Pets!!!
I just wanted to touch on a topic that has recently touched my life personally! Our new puppy ate an entire new bottle of medication. That is a serious problem!! Imagine if you took an entire bottle of pills. How can we avoid this problem? Lets keep it simple guys! Keep your medication in an area above the sink! As long as it is out of reach, your good. Put it in a drawer, do what you have to do! Its not worth the hospital bills. trust me!!
Carry those blue bags!
I don’t know about you guys, but now that I have a lovely front yard with an actual lawn, I hate seeing poop on it!!!! Shocker!! I have two dogs that I walk daily, and no matter what, carrying a bag to pick up their poop is pretty much as important as their leash. I know its not fun, its definately not “cool,” but it is the law!! Carry those bags with pride, and maybe some day I won’t be cleaning up after other pets messes on my front lawn.
Adoption is always the best option!
The pound is overcrowded, and people are still going to a breeder to get their pet (s)?? In times like these, with foreclosure pets being such an issue, its important to keep our eyes on what is important. Every time you adopt a pet, you are literally saving its life. Can you think of a better gift? The promise of a warm home, some long overdue attention, and healthy food…these things aren’t outrageous demands or needs. Lets see what we can do as a community to ensure that these pets are being adopted, and not put down simply because they couldn’t find an owner fast enough. The only way to guarantee that this happens is to take part in the cause, volunteer, tell your friends and family that are looking for pets to adopt, etc. Word of mouth is something that should never be underestimated. Now get out there, and get involved, and save a pets life!
And the walk proceeds go to….!!!
Alright guys! There is a little puppy name Beau, he is not even six months old…and he has a grade 6 heart murmur. And by six, I mean grade 6 out of 6. Keep in mind, Beau is just a Pomeranian, a Pomeranian with a serious heart condition. It is hard enough to imagine any pet going through something like this, especially so small and so very young. His owners have taken him to the best- he’s been seen at UCDavis, and now unless he gets surgery in the next few months, he won’t make it. He needs the equivalent of an angioplasty, and those costs puppies about $3,000. So, why don’t we walk for a little puppies health? I’m ready, are you?
***If you donate at the Dog Walk for Health this upcoming October 26th, all of the proceeds will be directly given to Beau’s family for the surgery.

Brush those teeth!
Come on guys! You brush yours, right? Well, start early when your pet is young, and you can save yourself some serious vet bills! Not to mention that anesthesia can have harmful side affects, just like it does for people! There are doggie tooth brushes and doggie toothpaste (make sure you ONLY use the kind that is intended for animals!PLEASE!) in any pet store or vet hospital! If you need help trying to get your pet to even let them near your mouth, message me! I can help!
