Pets to the Financial Rescue!

posted 04:10 PM 02/09

During these times of economic stress we may even look to our Pets for financial solutions: Pet Sitting, Pet Hotels, Mobile Grooming, Pet Massage Services, Dog walking & even a Pooper Scooper business on the side are all ideas that could be plausible ways to make extra funds as wage/hour cuts at many business work places across the nation become common.

Pet Safety in the Snow & cold!

posted 08:11 PM 12/22

The cold is a major threat to pets and owners alike: Out door pets should be brought in at night into a closed off laundry room or semi-heated garage if possible… or heated shelter with some old blankets and water/food provided for comfort. If bad weather continues they may have to be kept there until weather conditions abate. Remember to let them out in am and pm & create a litter or newspaper corner opportunities if they are shut in for a number of days.

For some time now, I’ve been wanting to spend more time in the animal world than in the newsroom. Work — while I love my job and especially the people I work with — is still work. Training my dogs and competing with them — which includes the aspect of meeting and getting to know like-minded folks all around the Northwest — has become a passion for me.

Make good choices

Uno won "Best in Show" at the Westminster Dog Show, suddenly beagles were more popular for American pet owners. When “101 Dalmations” first came out, that breed became wildly sought after. The Olympian featured a story Saturday written by Dr. Jim Randolph about how many dog and cat breeds become popular after getting national publicity.
