Little Breeds RULE!

We started of this week quite easy. Gypsy and Brute had the place to themselves.

But as we progressed into the week, our numbers increased. And my, my, you should see the sizes coming in - from Fudge (a St. Bernard) to Toffee (a Shih Tzu) to Obi (a Dachshund)!

It's been a good week and while most are going to be here through the next, we have a predominance of the little breeds - Apsos, Shih tzus, dach and young spaniels! Fun to see these little ones throwing attitude among giant ones! Our Fudge-y is an extremely sweet fellow and doesn't trouble ANYBODY. So it's hard to get a pic of him with one of the little breeds. But we hope to find that moment soon!

" Simba, undeterred and fueled by Dr. Woofinton's wisdom, unleashed his first move—an impressive display of athleticism, including a perfectly executed somersault and a flawless frisbee catch. Simba: " Witness the majestic acrobatics of Simba! Clearly, my destiny is to frolic, not 'study. '' Human: (raising an eyebrow) " Nice tricks, Simba, but I...

Grooming Seniors - Cat Edition

If you are a cat owner then you know most of the time you see your baby licking himself and cleaning himself. Its true, most cats are cleanliness freak and spend up to 50 percent of their awake time indulging in some form of cat grooming. What we should know is cats licking themselves is actually good for their skin. It maintains healthy skin by stimulating the production of sebum, an oily secretion produced by sebaceous glands at the base of each hair. Licking spreads sebum over the hair coat to lubricate and waterproof the fur and make it shine. It also removes loose hair and prevents mats, and removes dirt and parasites like fleas.
