If you had to call poison control for your dog, would you know the number off the top of your head? If there were a fire in your home, how would first responders know you have a pet? You can now solve both problems with the free Pet Safety Pack from the ASPCA.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
’nuff said.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

All of us at doggies.com and breeders.net hope you have a happy, safe Fourth of July! And if your dog is entered in any parades, may he be as cute as the one pictured here and win all the awards!
Like many, I’m about sick of wearing a mask, and I don’t even go out that often. I thought we could all use a little humor about the situation.
Happy weekend!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Don’t you love the old lady glasses on the dog on the right – this is from a senior sanctuary after all! She needs a pearl chain holder for them.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

I hope you and your dogs have a safe, fun holiday.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Have you considered what would happen to your animals if you were suddenly hospitalized due to the coronavirus (or for any reason, really)? What if you died suddenly?
Not a topic any of us want to think about, but one which we must consider.
In New York City, they have a special team that feeds animals abandoned by owners in the hospital, and takes in the animals who have been orphaned by the virus. But most of us don’t live in cities large enough to have this kind of service. Continue reading Pets of the Pandemic
