Sofie and I are ready for spring

It is sooo easy for folks who live in sunny climates to walk their dogs--not so much so for those of us north of the Mason Dixon Line.  But SPRING is arriving and trees are budding, and I think the crocuses are poking their heads up.
Time to take a nice long walk, re-meet old friends and enjoy some fresh air.  We may even try the dog park this summer.  Sofie likes dogs she knows, but is hesitant to make new friends.  Our web site is undergoing a MAJOR overhaul and we are adding new categories--ONE JUST FOR CATS--and adding new products.  I will let everyone know the progress, but it looks like April 18 launch.

Senior Citizens and Pets--article published by Ezines

As baby-boomer pet parents reach retirement age it is common to think about putting aside the dog collars, pet clothing and dog harnesses and retire from being pet parents. This is especially common as a beloved pet may die. The usual questions of a grieving pet owner are magnified by older pet owners. The only real questions with younger owners concerns whether or not they miss the joy of pet ownership and whether they still possess the desire to take on the responsibility of another pet. As the pet parent ages, more questions have to be asked. The age and health of the human along with whether or not the needs of particular pets can be managed are the most important questions for aging pet parents.
The primary question concerns whether or not a pet is beneficial for aging people.

Pets feel Earthquakes First

With the earthquake in Japan, I am reminded of the one earthquake I have been in.  Actually, I was not home with the dogs, but hubby David was.  It hit in the early afternoon.  He was working at home in his office when our miniature schnauzers  Kaiser and Alexa started behaving oddly.  They seemed very nervous and he could not quiet them.  David was getting concerned because they never acted that way before.  After about three-four minutes of this, the earthquake hit.  It was a 7.9 about 20 miles away (epicenter) and about 10 miles below ground.

The dogs had felt it long before the house shook or any person felt it.  Amazing powers.  I thought about Kaiser and Alexa.  They are gone, but certainly not forgotten and are still loved.

Our Veternarian Appointments

Hi, this is Sofie, the rescue maltese.  Mom took Beckham and me to the vet today.  It was awesome.  I weigh 6 pounds 9 ounces and Beckham is at 13 pounds 6 ounces.  We are both exceptionally healthy, with Beckham having the very early signs of a cataract, which is fine with me so I can hide my treats from him.  Oh, yes, I can be a b****.  Our teeth and eyes look very good.  I am taking my Pet Health OPC every day, and my mom massages my paws with Pet Health Paw and Pad Balm.  Even the vet noticed!!!!!  You should visit my mom's store for the new products she has. 
Oh yes, for my friend Bobbi Panter, the vet noticed my beautiful fur and how nice I smelled.  Mom told her it was due to my Gorgeous Dog Shampoo.  Now go to mom's store!!!!

FINALLY Dog Vitamins that Work!

I am so excited about the Pet Health Dog Vitamins I carry on the site.  Check this out: 
These vitamins have a great deal of research and a number of studies done on them.  I highly recommend them. They are carefully made and I think you will be pleased.  My dogs both love them.  (and their OPC) more on that later.
