Operation 'Playtime Over 'Study'' is now in session!</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">His human, a well-meaning but somewhat oblivious individual, looked up from her work with a bemused expression. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Human:</b> "<i>Simba, sweetie, I've got deadlines to meet. Can this wait?</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">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. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxLowKiSCTgum49rOADAZ8jPIMVAiBYuxQJBmh-tKrwaQ7jdsA7SYP47DfOWfKde1Exlt7ryAuoGyNXTGYrHQJ73sH5UUKGK_6oU_PPTa2fMvfqOVJkgiY3xgdDSwj5OeL7uDNtetr39DrKDyogHPLKKDqFG_8FBqWXaq1e73kmgbuo6bQNagU53A/s6630/pexels-barnabas-davoti-10512289.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6630" data-original-width="5304" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxLowKiSCTgum49rOADAZ8jPIMVAiBYuxQJBmh-tKrwaQ7jdsA7SYP47DfOWfKde1Exlt7ryAuoGyNXTGYrHQJ73sH5UUKGK_6oU_PPTa2fMvfqOVJkgiY3xgdDSwj5OeL7uDNtetr39DrKDyogHPLKKDqFG_8FBqWXaq1e73kmgbuo6bQNagU53A/s320/pexels-barnabas-davoti-10512289.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Simba:</b> "<i>Witness the majestic acrobatics of Simba! Clearly, my destiny is to frolic, not 'study.</i>'' </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Human:</b> (raising an eyebrow) "<i>Nice tricks, Simba, but I've got responsibilities. Can't we play later?</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Undeterred, Simba initiated Phase Two: The Puppy Eyes Protocol. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Simba:</b> (gazing with exaggerated sorrow) "<i>Oh, the agony of a life confined to 'study.' How can you resist these puppy eyes, human? The tragedy!</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Human:</b> (softening) "<i>Simba, you're adorable, but I really need to focus right now.</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Simba, the sassy strategist, wasn't ready to throw in the squeaky toy just yet. With a theatrical sigh, he moved on to Phase Three: The Purr-suasion Maneuver (ignoring the fact that he wasn't a cat). </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Simba:</b> (emitting a contented purr) "<i>Imagine a life filled with laughter and play. A happy Simba means a happy human, right?</i>" </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Human:</b> (smirking) "<i>Simba, you're not a cat, but I appreciate the effort.

Frisbees soared, squeaky toys squeaked, and laughter echoed through the room.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As Simba's human couldn't help but join in the fun, a revelation dawned upon her—play wasn't just for dogs; it was a remedy for the soul. Simba, with a triumphant tail wag, had not only won the battle but also convinced his human that 'study' could wait when playtime called. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">And so, the golden retriever rebellion became a playful revolution, proving that a dash of sassy determination and a sprinkle of humor could turn even the most 'studious' of humans into playful companions. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Remember, dear readers, sometimes a bit of silliness is the best medicine for both dogs and their humans.

His owner, a well-meaning human, seemed to think that Simba's life revolved around 'studying,' which translated to endless hours of sitting and staring at nothing. Naturally, Simba felt a rebellion brewing in his fur-covered bones. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRrahvAGoAOeioo6giLCKQkkskjmAR5V0TmN8FXgfyWITvX8Tq_us6NVoespTN-hCSqh36z1r8J22CE_5gu4o30Jvu-ra7f0aZYpDVqtfHcBQgWDiCwemlVJjDwUEBDe43II6wth-vbgI2Q_JNkEe1iuRB5t6-xYSKGdR0BTfUB2O5e_b1f9YP87j4/s6000/pexels-stilk-terrin-4562052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRrahvAGoAOeioo6giLCKQkkskjmAR5V0TmN8FXgfyWITvX8Tq_us6NVoespTN-hCSqh36z1r8J22CE_5gu4o30Jvu-ra7f0aZYpDVqtfHcBQgWDiCwemlVJjDwUEBDe43II6wth-vbgI2Q_JNkEe1iuRB5t6-xYSKGdR0BTfUB2O5e_b1f9YP87j4/w213-h320/pexels-stilk-terrin-4562052.jpg" width="213" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: medium;">One fine day, Simba decided to seek the counsel of the wisest canine in town—Dr. Woofinton, the vet extraordinaire. With a wag of his tail and a sparkle in his eyes, Simba strutted into Dr. Woofinton's office, ready to spill the kibble on his canine conundrum. </span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: medium;"><b>Simba:</b> (with a dramatic sigh) <i>"Dr. Woofinton, my life is a tragedy!

Armed with a paw-some plan and a sprinkle of sass, he was ready to conquer the 'study' fortress and reclaim his right to play. The golden retriever revolution was about to begin, and Simba would lead the charge—with style, flair, and a tail held high. </span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: medium;">And so, dear reader, let this be a lesson to all pet kind: When 'study' threatens to overshadow play, channel your inner Simba, and let the rebellion roar!

Its true, most cats are cleanliness freak and spend up to 50 percent of their awake time indulging in some form of cat grooming.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
But when your kitty is old they reduce this, older kitties with arthritis may be unable to lick themselves enough to stay clean.<br />
<br />
Before we get to how to groom an older cat, lets get a basic idea of how cats groom themselves in general.<br />
<br />
Every cat has their own grooming ritual, but most begin with the licking of the mouth, chin, and whiskers first. That's followed by each shoulder and foreleg. Then they wash both flanks and hind legs, the genitals, and then their tail from tip to stern.<br />
<br />
But older kitties would not be able to do this themselves, leaading to ba odor, matts on the fur and skin innfections,<br />
<br />
So thats where we come in.<br />
<br />
<b>Here are a couple of tips to groom a senior cat :</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pick a comfortable place where you feel your kitty will be comfortable, their favourite place in the house, Place a soft cloth or matt under them before you start the grooming.</li>
<li>Try to keep your kitty calm by cuddling him or giving him lot of soft rubs in their favorite spots, just to keep your him/her comfortable.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once you feel your kitty is comfortable, you can start the grooming process.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>You can start slowly brushing your kitty to remove any tangles, matts etc., make sure you use the proper brush depending on your kitties coat. If you have any doubts you can drop by here at PetStepin' and ask our groomer in choosing a right brush for your kitty. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Make sure you brush your kitty from head to toe running your hands across his/her coat. If you find any matts your are not able to remove which are too hard, then you can bring your kitty to PetStepin' and our professional groomer will take care of it by removing with proper grooming equipments.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do this daily to prevent heavy matts, and maintain healthy coat for your senior kitty. If you are planning to give a bath to your kitty, you can do the bruhing after a complete bath and dry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now if you want to give your kitty a bath you can follow the below steps to make it a little easier.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most cats do not like getting wet and you will need to work fast when bathing your cat.</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Always use luke warm water.You can use your washrooms bath tub or a bucket. Only fill the tub or bin with enough water to cover your cat to its belly. </li>
<li>Try to keep your kitty as calm as possible as you slowly wet your cats coat, make sure you avoid sensitive places like the head, so as to not freak out your kitty.</li>
<li>Once your cat is wet, use a cat shampoo on your kitties coat. Gently rub the shampoo into your cat’s fur. Be careful when lathering around your cat’s ears, eyes, and mouth. </li>
<li>Once that is completed you can rinse your kitty off completely, making sure there is no shampoo anywhere.</li>
<li>Then make sure to completely dry off your kitty with a towel or a soft cloth or you can use a hair dryer if your kitty is comfortable.</li>
<li>You can also clean your kitties ear with a cotton in order to clear any dirt to prevent ear infections.</li>
<li>It is also advisable to clip your kitties nails once a month. You can always get professional help with this, as it is not advisable to cut the nails if you are not sure of how to clip.</li>
</ul>

<br />
If you are a cat parent and you are watching this video along with your kitty and wondering the same question everybody in the world is wondering...can my cat also do this?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
Well there is no correct answer to your question....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you ask some animal trainers, their answer will go something like "If training your cat to sit, stay and heel and do tricks is your goal, perhaps you should get a dog. " </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>But what about the cats doing tricks on that show?</b><br />
<br />
Well thats a good question, well we dont have any sure fireways to teach your cat to be the next big thing on the Internet, but we an give you a couple of pointers,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lets break it down, in order to teach something to a cat or in order to train your cats, you will first need to know how cats learn,<br />
<br />
They don't understand english, they can't read books or attend lectures. They learn by experience. If the experience is good, they will try to repeat it. If the experience is unpleasant, your cat will try to avoid it in the future. Cats enjoy raking the furniture with their claws, so they continue to do it. But it's quite a shock when they stick their nose in a candle flame, so they won't do that again.<br />
<br />
The key to training a cat and understanding cat behavior is to make sure that whatever you want your cat to do is exceedingly rewarding and pleasurable. Whatever you don't want your cat to indulge in must never be rewarding or fun, in fact, it must be unpleasant.<br />
<br />
So lets see a couple of ways you can do that,<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrMPC1SfQj9yF1cYnaSFV9sdSlSsk3iKDQLDiMay_SrxKY5YOwImI_eVK_jAoe9O-p85cV5Yj0R6O60KZACtOU00KRG998BljbrjIx_66yf3bbE3lzvBlavEJbYt-AfiZGIqfpygQ9xw/s1600/20181230_102448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrMPC1SfQj9yF1cYnaSFV9sdSlSsk3iKDQLDiMay_SrxKY5YOwImI_eVK_jAoe9O-p85cV5Yj0R6O60KZACtOU00KRG998BljbrjIx_66yf3bbE3lzvBlavEJbYt-AfiZGIqfpygQ9xw/s320/20181230_102448.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>1)Stop all reprimands and punishment.</b><br />
<br />
<b></b>Concentrate on making your relationship fun, rewarding, playful and interesting. Sometimes this change alone will solve your cat training problems. Cats are known to become overly active and destructive when bored. Daily play sessions and relaxing massages help your cat calm down. Cats that feel neglected will often stop using their litter box. If you schedule regular sessions to give your cat undivided attention and to play games with him, even litter box problems can disappear almost overnight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2)Set up your cat to succeed.</b><br />

In performing those behaviors you want him/her to learn so she can be rewarded. The most effective method of cat training is through rewards. This will give you the opportunity to reward and praise him/her for good behavior.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3)Set up the cat's environment.</b><br />
<br />
Let's take a look at furniture scratching as an example. While making your cat's scratching post fun, rewarding and exciting, the training process also requires you to make the furniture unattractive as a clawing item. Instead of you telling the cat to avoid the furniture, let the furniture itself tell the cat to stay away. It's up to you to find something your cat does not like.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe you are into training your cat to jump through a hoop, maybe you just want him to stop climbing the drapes. Whatever the case, remember that cats learn best through the use of rewards, praise and positive reinforcement.<br />

Flu, hypothermia and even death are real dangers to your dog . Most dogs’ coats are more like our hair – if you need to wear a hat to stay warm, your dog coat may need some help too! Double-coated dogs like Huskies or Saint Bernards are exceptions, but even thick coated dogs vary in how much cold they can withstand. It depends not only on the temperature, wetness, wind, how long they are in the cold, but how much food they’ve had to keep warm while they are out for their walks or playing outside. Other factors also affect how long your dog can stay out with you safely – including how much muscle, fat and fur your dog has protecting them, and how much energy they have to burn to keep themselves warm. Just like people, many young dogs enjoy playing, walking or running in the cold with us for hours. So how do you know how much cold is safe – and comfortable – for your dog?<br />
<br />
<br />
Always play it safe, and each year when winter comes, reassess your dog’s tolerance, which will go down as they get older. Keep a close eye on your dog while they are outside with you to watch for these two deadly signs…<br />
<br />
<br />
1)<b> Flu</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsDqyfLXmrQWWFsd-p9jBr6z9_UZy-3vjkB3tvahE22aoxRsugTXarhhyphenhyphenuhQSkaVMhDO8zqLVzdNotaEqtidsOLfB1JlULuxBHnUPFq93G0cr0GmQ5BXpLLJbE0y5QfSZPAR7Vd7wbOg/s1600/dog-flu-symptoms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="355" data-original-width="473" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsDqyfLXmrQWWFsd-p9jBr6z9_UZy-3vjkB3tvahE22aoxRsugTXarhhyphenhyphenuhQSkaVMhDO8zqLVzdNotaEqtidsOLfB1JlULuxBHnUPFq93G0cr0GmQ5BXpLLJbE0y5QfSZPAR7Vd7wbOg/s400/dog-flu-symptoms.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
When your dog is exposed to temperatures below the normal degrees for too long, flu can set in. What you have to notice for is if a dog has a flu they will start to develop a cough that is typically moist and can have nasal discharge. Sometimes it will be more of a dry cough, In most cases the symptoms can last for few days but during winter it can last longer. If the symptoms persist and your doggy develops a high fever, red eyes,excessive coughing or sneezing then contact your local vet immediately.<br />
<br />
2) <b>Hypothermia</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiPaHStygnmEEt5MZxaMiPzMP8LE-aPkrDz3RyFjMflvtmVqeHeZrZqUd4r2zCPYSC4dZJl07MSb-srhAxx_S2gkcuGiLTMg79RQoHY4hcq0JEA9Z7T5Gssks0ktwDCSo7Y7WnIgoaJw/s1600/20180819_105132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiPaHStygnmEEt5MZxaMiPzMP8LE-aPkrDz3RyFjMflvtmVqeHeZrZqUd4r2zCPYSC4dZJl07MSb-srhAxx_S2gkcuGiLTMg79RQoHY4hcq0JEA9Z7T5Gssks0ktwDCSo7Y7WnIgoaJw/s400/20180819_105132.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Hypothermia occurs when the dog’s body temperature goes below normal as a result of prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, is another very real danger during the cold winter months. Symptoms of hypothermia typically include shivering, lethargy, a low heart rate, slow breathing and unresponsiveness. If you notice any of these symptoms, immediately bring your dog inside your warm house or room-temperature car and contact your veterinarian.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Side Note :</b> A dog’s internal system works extra hard in the cold to maintain appropriate body temperatures. As such,your dog needs extra fuel to burn and generate heat. Also, remember to provide plenty of fresh drinking water. It is just as easy to get dehydrated in the winter as it is in the summer if proper amounts of water are not consumed.<br />
<br />
Pets who spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy. Routinely check your pet's water dish to make certain the water is fresh.<br />
<br />
No matter what the temperature is, windchill can threaten a pet's life. Exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads are at risk during extreme cold snaps.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
For this reason, short-haired dogs often feel more comfortable wearing a sweater—even during short walks.<br />

For many, it seems this winter is never going to end. While many cats are pleased to stay indoors, let’s not forget about our more adventurous kitties who either stay outdoors or try to sneak out as soon as the door is opened. Keep your kitties safe this winter with these five tips:<br />
<br />
1) <b>Bring your kitty inside :</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
If you’re left shivering and shaking from a quick stroll outside, it’s likely too cold for your kitty too. Although they may be used to spending their days in the great outdoors, and as much as they may seem like they want to stay outside, their health and safety are more important.<br />
<br />
2)<b> Make warm and cozy places indoors :</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Whether you’re using an energy-saving thermostat that lowers the temperature at night, or your windows just aren’t as insulated as you’d like, it can still get pretty chilly when you’re inside your home during the winter. Make sure Kitty has plenty of warm and cozy places to curl up inside your home – this is a great bribe for those kitties that may be reluctant to come inside. A cat bed or blanket will do the trick…although we all know she’ll probably end up sleeping in your bed, anyway.<br />
<br />
3)<b>Bang on the hood of your car before driving :</b><br />
Outdoor cats often seek shelter from the cold under cars. Before you get in your car, don’t forget to knock on the hood to scare away hiding kitties, and do a quick peek below to make sure they’ve left.<br />
<br />
4) <b>Build an outdoor shelter</b><br />
<br />
Outdoor cats may struggle to keep warm and find food in the winter. An outdoor cat shelter can help keep your outdoor cat (and neighborhood strays) protected and warm.<br />
<br />
If there are outdoor cats, either owned pets or community cats in your area, remember that they need protection from the elements as well as food and water. It's easy to give them a hand.<br />
<br />
<b>Watch Out</b><br />
<br />
<b>(Cars are one of many hazards to small animals—warm engines in parked cars attract cats and small wildlife, who may crawl up under the hood. To avoid injuring any hidden animals, bang on your car's hood to scare them away before starting your engine.)</b><br />
<br />
Now that we have a basic understanding to safeguard our dogs & cats how about other pets like guinea pigs, hamsters or rabbits ?<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of tips for people with these pets :<br />

1) Keeping your pets hutches warm in winter is very important, hutches should be positioned so that wind, rain, snow or sleet can’t blow in. If the weather’s particularly bad, move the hutch into an unused garage or shed if it’s possible. For guinea pigs, it’s better to keep them inside in winter, in a conservatory or unused garage.<br />

Don’t forget you need to change their bedding regularly.<br />
<br />
3) Check their water bottle regularly. Press the ball every few hours to keep it moving – you can get specially made bottle covers but you’ll still need to do regular checks.<br />
<br />
4)Your pet still needs to have access to their run during the day so they can get their regular exercise.<br />

5) Guinea pigs/Rabbits need more calories to keep warm so give them lots of good quality hay to nibble on.<br />

Winter months can be just as hazardous to your pet's health as the summer months. But by taking the right precautions and using good old common sense, you can help protect your pets from the dangers that can accompany the harsh winter climate.</div>

So as Toffee feared there was nothing to worry about, there was no attack or siege on PetStepin', and we were not planning any coupe against her, it was just cute little kids from "<b>The Green Pocket"</b> who were keen to interact with the doggies. Well anyway it was a fun day as the kids got to learn new things with dogs, had fun interacting with Toffee and Champ, learnt to brush the dogs, Bathe them etc...<br />

As you all know we re-launched the Paw'lished (Grooming Spa) here at PetStepin' .<br />
<br />
Here are the five grooming tips from Anoma Suresh (Certified Pet Stylist) which can help you groom your pets efficiently at your home because it is very important to know and understand how important it is to groom your pets.<br />
<br />
It is very important to groom your pets regularly to keep their skin and coat healthy and keep them clean and happy.<br />
<br />
Here are the grooming tips that can help you maintain your pets :<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) <b>Always Brush Regularly </b>: It's very important to brush your pets regularly to avoid matts or shedding. Regular brushing removes dead hair, helps in circulate natural oils for a clean and healthy coat and skin. Especially the breeds with the long coats should be brushed more often than the one with the short coats.</div>
<br />
<br />
2) <b>Choosing the right shampoo</b> : First rule if you are grooming a pet, the right shampoo has to be chose according to the skin condition and texture of the fur. Absolutely no human shampoos, pets' coat and skin is different from that of a human. You can also different type of shampoos if your pet has a specific requirement like allergies or skin issues, tick & flea problems. If in doubt it is always advised to consult a professional groomer or your Vet.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Clipping of nails</b> : It is highly advisable that you do not clip a pet's nail if you do not know how to do it. Always use the clippers that are well suited for your pet, like small pets guineas pigs, hamsters and cats u can use small clippers and for dogs a bigger clipper. And on the other hand if you are clipping your pet's nail, you need to pay attention to the blood veins as you don't end up bleeding your pet's nail. It's always advisable to do it under the supervision of an expertise to avoid accidental bleeds. Get it always done by a certified groomer or your vet.<br />
<br />
4) <b>Using the right equipment</b> : If you are planning to groom your pet at your home not necessarily you will have all the equipments that the professional groomers have but you can buy the basic equipments that can help you in your in home groom.<br />
<br />
There are 3 different types of brushes you can use for basic grooming in pets,<br />
<br />
<b>Bristle Brush</b>: A bristle brush can be used for both short coats as well as long coats. This brush is used to remove finer dirt from your pet's coat.<br />
<br />
<b>Slicker Brush</b>: If you have a long coat dog then this type of brush will help remove matted and tangled hair.<br />
<br />
<b>Rubber Brush</b>: These are meant for short-haired dogs.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Ears and teeth matters too</b> : Grooming is just not about the coat of the pet. Always check your pet's ears and teeth to makesure they are kept clean and healthy to avoid ear infections or foul smell and to avoid bad breath. Specially pets with floppy ears or pets that enjoy getting wet are the ones most prone to catch an infection.<br />
<div>
<br />
You pet needs to be groomed every 2 weeks to a month to stay healthy and happy. </div>
<div>
Also if you feel all these sound complicated, you can take your pet for a grooming spa at a pet salon or look for a home service at your convenient.</div>
<div>

There is a quote,<br />
<br />
" One of the greatest gift you can give is your time "<br />
<br />
And these kids from the "Be Me Alternate School" are doing just that.. five kids from the school are currently volunteering at PetStepin' for a month twice a week as they plan on working with animals in the future and want to choose a career relating to animal welfare and pet care. We at PetStepin' are glad to see more and more young people wanting to learn about animals and how to take care of them and wanting to learn hands on, what actually goes into taking care of animals.<br />

How to prevent ear trouble!!<br />
<br />
With the approach of the monsoons , ear infections are on a high. Painful ear problems are one of the top 2 complaints that Veterinarians encounter. Dogs with floppy ears or dogs that enjoy getting wet are the ones most prone to catch an infection.<br />
<br />

Ear infections can be very painful and uncomfortable for the dog and shouldn't be take lightly. Especially certain breeds prone to ear issues, have a tough time getting rid of the infection and the process can be both time consuming and difficult. Care should be taken to immediately assess how grave the infection is as the infection of the outer ear can gradually become an inflammation of the inner ear, leading to deafness, vestibule disease and other serious conditions if left untreated. Thus it is always important to arrest the infection in the early stage and use preventive measure so it doesn't recure again!!</div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
So in two easy steps we can prep up and prevent ear infections this monsoon!!<br />
<br />
1) Regular ear check - get your dog's ears checked by a vet atleast once a month especially if they are prone for infections. Learn from your Vet how to clean the ears at home and choose the recommended cleaning materials to suit your dog's condition. At home you can use a non medicated ear clearer (if prone for smelly discharge or excessive wax) and ear wipes twice a week. This may not be the favorite part of your doggy's day but with treats, pats and a quick swipe with the ear wipes, the job can get done in minutes. Regular cleaning of the ears gives you a chance to check for sign of inflammation and an opportunity to arrest the problem before it flares up.<br />
<br />
*Don't use sharp instruments to clean the ears as the ear canal is very sensitive and can cause damage.<br />
<br />
*Don't use ear buds unless recommended by the Vet as u end up pushing the wax and infected material further down the ear canal.<br />
<br />
*Don't use oils, lotions or liquids in the ears. Only Vet recommended products must be used based on the requirement of your dog.<br />
<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
2) Supplementing Essential Fatty Acids- You can support your dog's immunity by supplementing Essential Fatty acids in the diet. Omega FA are rich in fish but are deficit in most commercial dog foods and thus must be supplemented additionally. People and pets all over the world are enjoying the health benefits of Omega FA, as a supplement to help coat condition, heart, mental and overall body health. Omega 3&6 FAs have anti inflammatory property which fights the inflammation at the root, including ear infections.They are commercially available as chews, paste or syrups which can be added to the regular diet. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Natural organic cold pressed Coconut oil (1/2tsp a day) could be used as well on a daily basis in the diet. Always start with very small amts, see how your dog responds to it. Once you've let his body adjust you can gradually increase the amount of coconut oil in the diet to 1teaspoon per kg bodyweight or 1tablespoon per 15kgs of bodyweight. Putting your dog on this will not only boost him immunity and prevent ear infections but will also strengthen his heart and leave him with a smooth glossy fur coat.<br />
<br />
*Don't start giving supplements in large doses. Always start in small amounts and gradually increase till the recommended dose once the dog's body has got adjusted. This transition should take atleast a week to 10days. Any sudden change in diet leads to greasy stools and diarrhea.<br />
<br />
Practice these two simple steps and have yourself a fun filled, stress-free monsoon with your precious pooch!!<br />

Having worked multiple jobs since the age of 16, this was the first time I found something that truly Intrigued me and I wanted to give It a shot. So after a few messages back and forth and learning more about what my duties as manager will entail, I decided to go In for 10 days and try n get a feel of what It would be like to work there full time. <br><br>On my first day, Being an enthu cutlet, I showed up earlier than I was supposed to as I couldn’t wait to start my day and see what this experience was going to be like.(I ended up coming In as early as I could every day after that as well) I walked Into the gates of the facility and was confronted by a huge pack of dogs barking In my face as I stood there In the socializing area aimlessly waiting for someone to come get me In. Sam, One of the managers (really sweet guy) who was on duty at the facility rushed out of the office/kennel and told me to get Inside quickly and avoid getting the dogs too excited as the excessive barking might disturb the play school next door. After my little encounter with the guests, I met the rest of the “Happy Pack” that ran the place and got the low-down from Dr.Nez on how she likes things done at Pet Stepin’. </span></p><p class="s2" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p class="s2" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vcZZPtR9t-kn2He3OWt33DV9MeVgTDhZfsvBJQUv5_i_bQs4UTPvJ4WD6qnvV7wV-xEh5bnilbI-OeK4u_ESu4_M_nLx5_k2WAWN4LjUPW34mY9MzjvjpIagP4g2Ehh9DSrLL7jjuQ/s640/blogger-image--939991171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vcZZPtR9t-kn2He3OWt33DV9MeVgTDhZfsvBJQUv5_i_bQs4UTPvJ4WD6qnvV7wV-xEh5bnilbI-OeK4u_ESu4_M_nLx5_k2WAWN4LjUPW34mY9MzjvjpIagP4g2Ehh9DSrLL7jjuQ/s640/blogger-image--939991171.jpg"></a></div><br><br>Here are a few things that I learnt while working at PetStepin - <p></p><p class="s2" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></p><p class="s2" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s4" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px; font-weight: bold;">#1 - You will always have a good day</span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> - I thought I would lose my excitement and enthusiasm after a day or two but I always found myself jumping out of bed early, No alarm needed and tried to get In as early as possible and start my day at Pet Stepin’.

You have to take care of feeding schedules, medication/suppliment schedules, Phone calls, making sure everyone plays nice outside, bathing the furry ones before they leave, preparing for the newcomers to come, keeping track of who’s coming In and who’s leaving, making sure the place Is up to standards; Cleaned everyday and disinfected regularly, Coaxing and bribing the fussy eaters to eat, preparing the food board for the next day and giving all the doggies attention so that they don’t miss their owners too much..and heaps more. It all seems doable, But when you have a house-full of dogs, cats and a guinea pig (We call him Paul walker), It can easily get very overwhelming. Thankfully, the senior manager..Sandhya always handles It all gracefully, If she wasn’t around to delegate tasks and run the show, I’m pretty sure I would’ve been stumped. </span><div><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br></span></div><div><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlNoqKuqElIXbfIBHAuiHNtCNC538Og5EJCvzdgiNSY2nCUxgrzEGI9B_S1p5_W2WJJcyZOyVjAIWHAjWJryddCZz2KY8XZ72ibZjgM1NYNLuF0jAzNNYYYVAqWFvXIrl1JpCaUJJEQ/s640/blogger-image--1683893798.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlNoqKuqElIXbfIBHAuiHNtCNC538Og5EJCvzdgiNSY2nCUxgrzEGI9B_S1p5_W2WJJcyZOyVjAIWHAjWJryddCZz2KY8XZ72ibZjgM1NYNLuF0jAzNNYYYVAqWFvXIrl1JpCaUJJEQ/s640/blogger-image--1683893798.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br><br></span><span class="s4" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px; font-weight: bold;">#4 - You eat when you can </span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">- Sometimes you eat early, sometimes you eat by 4 In the evening, sometimes you eat In shifts while the other managers are out and about taking care of the furry ones.

Regular Veterinary check:</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It is a myth that cats are self sufficient and don't need the regular care a dog needs. Cats need a wellness check up by the Vet on a regular basis, at least twice a year, to keep check on health issues with regards to nutrition and weight, dental check, behavioral changes as they age and regular vaccination and deworming. As your cat ages past 8yrs, the frequency of visits will need to increase to read the signs and avoid age related problems from setting in.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Yearly Vaccination:</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Vaccinating your cat even though he maybe entirely an indoor cat is not an option but should be mandatory. Vaccination is done to maximize our ability to prevent infectious diseases in our pets. It starts at 6-8wks of age and after the initial boosters it should be repeated on a yearly basis to maintain the required immunity levels in the body. You must discuss the required protocol with your veterinarian.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The core vaccines that need to be given are against Rabies, Panleukopenia (causing very contagious viral disease), Calcivirus(causing severe flu and oral disease) and Herpes virus (causing Infectious Rhinotracheitis respiratory infection).</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. Parasite control:</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">External parasites like fleas, ticks and lice are commonly found on cats that are not maintained properly or in unhygienic environments. This leads to irritated skin, hot spots, hair loss and infection. Fleas are hosts for tapeworms so all it takes is a lick from the cat to swallow a flea which leads to a tapeworm infestation. Thus regular grooming and oral deworming once in 3-6 months is very important to maintain your cat's condition.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Spay and Neuter:</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Whether your cat is a completely indoors or roams outdoors as well it is a very important decision and responsible parenting to choose to spay/neuter her/him. It is the procedure done to sterilize and prevent your cat from further breeding. There are so many health benefits in this procedure. Here are a few:</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">*Spaying your female before her first heat cycle best protects her from developing uterine infections and breast cancer which leads to 90% fatality in cats.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">*Neutering males before 6mths can prevent testicular cancer which is a common problem in older pets.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">*You can avoid the stress the poor female cat goes through during her heat cycle which is usually for 4-5 days every 3-4weeks during breeding season.

Grooming: </b></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Grooming is an excellent way to bond with your pet and be rewarded with loud rumbling purrs. Avoid baths unless really needed as cats have a natural cleaning mechanism by licking themselves, but you can aid them by regular brushing to prevent too much shedding and hair ball issues. Long hair cats need to be brushed on a daily basis while shorthair cats can be brushed 2-3 times a week. Start them young so they get used to the procedure and then starts looking forward towards it. </span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bathing in cats can be tricky and each cat has its own preferences. Just avoid pouring water directly on the head or trying to submerge the cat. Place the cat in a tub and use a sponge or a small cup and pour the water on the body from a close distance. Avoid water from entering the ears or nose. Make sure the shampoo is washed off throughly. Towel dry your cat or use cool air from the dryer as hot air can burn your little one's delicate skin.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6.

It is very important to stick to a veterinary prescribed diet based on pet age, lifestyle and weight where calorie intake is monitored.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">7.

Litter needs to be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent a smelly house, a sick cat as they will not use dirty litter and avoid infections like toxoplasmosis which is transmitted through stool which is not cleaned over 24hrs. Wash the box once a week with warm water and detergent and dry well before adding fresh litter.

Cats are individuals and each react differently when trained. Thus you need to be patient, repetitive and always use positive reinforcement.When training motivate your cat with tasty food bits, a favorite toy, catnip or a preferred tickle. Use what the cat demands from you as an incentive while training.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You can start with a simple command like "sit" or "up" or "hi5". Use hand signals and a gesture with the verbal command to indicate to the cat what you are expecting. Make sure your have their complete attention. Example, you can pat a chair and say "sit" so when the cat comes and sits beside you, reward her with a treat. In this way she will associate the gesture with what you expect from her.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxCX0NHZuhyiZVpn9BD3WIoRv30FmIrux5yS7aDcmlEFjd9iFHGQyxNQDTDDt9O9BsPSU68C8XBaQaAxZXSFHfv6XrE7YIfv-USbpUUBvNuInQDOHRGu8R30rxkOH9yDXRonYcHDNiA/s640/blogger-image--1360265045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxCX0NHZuhyiZVpn9BD3WIoRv30FmIrux5yS7aDcmlEFjd9iFHGQyxNQDTDDt9O9BsPSU68C8XBaQaAxZXSFHfv6XrE7YIfv-USbpUUBvNuInQDOHRGu8R30rxkOH9yDXRonYcHDNiA/s640/blogger-image--1360265045.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cats are extremely intelligent animals and have a personality of their own, but they too love being cuddled and played with from time to time.

Quoting directly from Wikipedia :<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none;">Doga</b> (a portmanteau of "Dog Yoga") is the practice of yoga with pet dogs.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Through acts of meditation, gentle massage, and stretching, doga practitioners seek to achieve a greater harmony with their dogs. Canine acupuncture and chanting are also known to take place within the occasional doga routine.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In Doga, the submissive dogs and their human masters work as one unit - the masters help their dogs facilitate different poses and, in some cases, the pets are used as props or instruments while the masters perfect their poses. This is seen to be a Zen way of practicing non-traditional yoga and training, while exploring power play dynamics.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Doga has received some criticism from the yoga community.

This is just a brief review of a few of the common things you must avoid feeding your cats and dogs.</span><br><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div><br></div><div>1. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chocolate, Coffee and Caffeine</strong></div><div><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that is toxic to dogs in large enough quantities. Chocolate also contains caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, and certain soft drinks. Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of theobromine and caffeine. For example, dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain more of these compounds than milk chocolate does, so a dog would need to eat more milk chocolate in order to become ill. However, even a few ounces of chocolate can be enough to cause illness in a small dog, so no amount or type of chocolate should be considered “safe” for a dog to eat. Chocolate toxicity can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid or irregular heart rate, restlessness, muscle tremors, and seizures.

A pet may find and chew on a package of gum or candy, or steal food from a countertop or table. The best way to prevent this is to keep all food items in closed cabinets or in areas that are inaccessible to pets. This may be particularly difficult during the holiday season, when more sweets, chocolate, fruit baskets, and other food items are around. During these times, increased vigilance can help prevent pets from finding and eating dangerous foods. Children should be taught at a young age not to feed pets table scraps. If you suspect that your pet has eaten a potentially hazardous item, contact your veterinarian immediately.</span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This article has been reviewed by a Veterinarian.</strong></em></div>Pet Stepinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02180665546940947786noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091393230228989976.post-2996186782757552652015-09-10T15:39:00.001+05:302015-09-10T15:39:55.852+05:30Two peas in a podHere at PetStepin' you will always see us in pairs..either chilling under the trees, or by the water bowls or lying on one another..we are always together!! <div><br><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH06dayi_6cogeGTUVRr3NNWmEjtKJr9iP24GYFUbc-_GrBxFvoiekw8WHlQVFSOOB_B8_NPmHjJLHzCx26YfuWjhIH9JLEoxmqDQikdlYL3ayGglxWE9uGj127Evy2WFGAemR8znj7A/s640/blogger-image--1975318343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH06dayi_6cogeGTUVRr3NNWmEjtKJr9iP24GYFUbc-_GrBxFvoiekw8WHlQVFSOOB_B8_NPmHjJLHzCx26YfuWjhIH9JLEoxmqDQikdlYL3ayGglxWE9uGj127Evy2WFGAemR8znj7A/s640/blogger-image--1975318343.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div>Whether it Puppy and Scruffy sharing the stage..</div></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsSDY0Yxx4GCveuUoDKfdSNJigShpoCRaM4uiKUFjdN2tFU9tMWCznWingumjJU3_AYJ-wl1ugWqCwTdTKcVIlUgLV8xNtiV7XLjv_BujNe6GGYtxtKcgV-KGunfDhzKbl2Z4Lj62wA/s640/blogger-image--2097848586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsSDY0Yxx4GCveuUoDKfdSNJigShpoCRaM4uiKUFjdN2tFU9tMWCznWingumjJU3_AYJ-wl1ugWqCwTdTKcVIlUgLV8xNtiV7XLjv_BujNe6GGYtxtKcgV-KGunfDhzKbl2Z4Lj62wA/s640/blogger-image--2097848586.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Or Champ serenading Cara..</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDdRuRET3Et26xGdv73nTQ_bbsBW7TuYBTSkvz7httWW589iOWp8n97LIwvhnxleiXKyderOqQfIZmH7mcMwXUAx6BhbQXWocFxt4Mi9jTqdW_8HeqMpTGhbYt39J-coosmEzHYMtHQ/s640/blogger-image-1373060379.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDdRuRET3Et26xGdv73nTQ_bbsBW7TuYBTSkvz7httWW589iOWp8n97LIwvhnxleiXKyderOqQfIZmH7mcMwXUAx6BhbQXWocFxt4Mi9jTqdW_8HeqMpTGhbYt39J-coosmEzHYMtHQ/s640/blogger-image-1373060379.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Or Annabus and Champ striking a pose..it's just fun to have a partner in crime ;) </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI-lHeedG52z99rIzs_KmmEywJLXw4By9NtJ71ROfA6p3kmkOGJPrsxCTA4DnBxtftaaVQ-PsqPgPHJBeHwLyJsS3GkoauTsHD93ndEKPZH3zI04_rWkSBfey-9r1C03fQP7uyRQ0F5w/s640/blogger-image--1023245755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI-lHeedG52z99rIzs_KmmEywJLXw4By9NtJ71ROfA6p3kmkOGJPrsxCTA4DnBxtftaaVQ-PsqPgPHJBeHwLyJsS3GkoauTsHD93ndEKPZH3zI04_rWkSBfey-9r1C03fQP7uyRQ0F5w/s640/blogger-image--1023245755.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>This is how we say Cheers..by touching tail tips!!
