Employees of the Week
Normally, you would go to the Facebook page of a flooring contractor to see the projects he’s worked on (which are spectacular, by the way), but in the case of Stairfaces and Josephsen Hardwood Floors, you’d be forgiven if you just went to the page to see his employees of the week. You see, he takes pictures of the dogs who live in the homes where he works, and publishes them with a short bio of why they are the best employees he’s seen that week.

Columbus, Ohio Meals on Wheels Serves Pets
Kudos to Lifecare Alliance Senior Petcare program, which gives free pet food and veterinary care to owners in need. The Petcare program arose when human food deliverers were noticing the remains of their meals littering the area around pet food bowls. They recognized that seniors need pets for quality of life, as well as for to enhance longevity.
While Lifecare Alliance takes care of the food, the Veterinary Program at The Ohio State University provides care.
Sounds like a great partnership!

Spay Neuter Reminder
Pet overpopulation is real! If you’re not a breeder, there’s no reason to have an intact dog, and in fact, it is healthier for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If you can’t afford it, watch online forums for free or low cost clinics in your area, or ask at your local shelter where you can have it done.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
