Puppy Training!!!AH!!!
Ok, so if you went to the walk, you probably already know that I now have a 4 month old puppy! We named him Baxter, and he was abandoned (randomly? I doubt it) at Davis Park on the morning of the health walk. We are now puppy proofing the house, and that is about as fun as it sounds! But this is a very important part of having a puppy- removing the opportunity for problem behavior. Having a few trusty chew toys on hand to replace a non-approved item is a must. It doesn’t do to just remove the item from the pets reach, its important that you provide an approved item for your pet to chew on. Positive reinforcement at its finest!!

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.

Lets Adopt!
Hey ya’ll! Its time! Its time to really start thinking about taking the plunge and adopting a pet! With our community going through such a huge economic decline, we all know that houses are being foreclosed on and that pets are being left behind. This post goes out there to those people who aren’t necessarily looking for a puppy, and have a big back yard and are open to older pets! Please, please, adopt before going to a breeder! There are so many avenues you can go through to adopt a local pet, such as the pound, the spca, and local rescue groups! If you are interested, please contact me and I will give you any details that you need! Foreclosed pets are pets too!!!!
