Upside Down Pool

Hey everybody, Buddy here and Happy 4th of July!!! Happy Summer and just Happy Day!! Hope you all have been out there grillin’ and chillin’ and enjoying what I consider to be the primo time of the year. It’s getting a little warm out there and that’s something that can kind of wear on usContinue reading “Upside Down Pool”

Summer Gear

Hi! Buddy here. Got some good feedback on my facebook page last time that you liked hearing from me more than that boring stuff my Mom writes, so she’s letting me try my hand at it again. Let’s face it, everything is more interesting from a dog’s eye view. And a dog’s nose view too!Continue reading “Summer Gear”

Smile!

Sorry I’ve been gone so long… Moving across the country can be time-consuming and logistically crazy. Mission completed and I am happy to report that we are now west coast creatures and loving it. The air is crisp out here, smells clean. I am back in touch with the mountains I so love and BuddyContinue reading “Smile!”

Don’t Blame the Poinsettia!

For whatever reason, Poinsettias have gotten a really bum rap over the years as being extraordinarily toxic to pets. In fact, they are only mildly toxic to the mouth, stomach and skin… you’ll have a sick puppy or cat and the incidence of direct contact or ingestion is reportedly rare. Same deal for Mistletoe, onlyContinue reading “Don’t Blame the Poinsettia!”

CATastrophy Averted!

Cats are pretty particular about a lot of things. Ok, particular may be generous and kind you’re thinking, but they can be set in their ways. If you have indoor cats you know they are very particular about their litter box and usually map out quite specifically what each section is for. This makes itContinue reading “CATastrophy Averted!”

A Return to Sanity For Your Pet’s Halloween!

By now I’m guessing you have read numerous newsletters and blogs warning you about chocolate and sugars and black cats and costumes on your pets for Halloween and it is all great advice. May I have the ear (or eyes) of a few of you adult pet parents out there who might be having aContinue reading “A Return to Sanity For Your Pet’s Halloween!”

Thunderstorm Anxiety, Yikes!

Yes, this picture is Buddy and Shiloh assuming the Thunderstorm Position in our house. Now just imagine this scene enhanced at 1:00 a.m. with 2 adults in the bed who were sleeping soundly. Ahhhhhh, it’s Spring and the flowers are blooming and the weather is warm and it just feels good to be outside again.Continue reading “Thunderstorm Anxiety, Yikes!”

Beware the… Mulch?????

Oh for the love of Peat (pardon the pun, couldn’t help myself). Buddy here again. Back to tell you about something else we can’t eat. Will this list never end??You might recall from yesterday’s post that pets should not eat a list of things that are just fine and dandy for humans to eat. OnContinue reading “Beware the… Mulch?????”
