I talked to a friend who lost her dog recently. (I just lost 2 of my precious dogs - Benny & Dukie). She says that her way to get over the grief is to celebrate their life by writing about the good, the funny and even the aggravating stories of their life! What a great idea.

Season Of Suppers®, “A Pet Food Drive For Pets In Need” aims to help more seniors and their Pets fight hunger
National initiative encourages communities to reach out and donate this November and December to help local seniors with Pets stay nourished year round
Portland, Ore. —Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008—For some seniors, getting around easily is not an option. Often, their best friend and only companion is a loving dog or cat. The Season of Suppers campaign, now in its third year, calls attention to the importance of Pets to the well-being of homebound seniors. Helping keep these companion Pets well fed, healthy and part of the family for as long as possible became the motivating factor behind the partnership among Banfield, The Pet Hospital, the Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT) and Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA).
Phil Shippers, director of the Visiting Nurse Meals On Wheels program of Rochester, N.Y., knows the importance of getting the message out that homebound seniors with Pets are a vulnerable population. Read the whole story!“We know that many seniors in our community are compromising their own nutrition by sharing their meals with their Pets,” says Shippers.

Imagine that, Adopt a Cat!

Cats in shelters get a bad rap. People assume if they are there, it’s because they are dirty, unloving, and don’t make good pets. People bypass the cat and go for the tiny kittens. Although there’s nothing wrong with getting a kitten from a shelter, there’s something truly special about a cat that’s lived a mile or two on this planet.
Fluffy is there for no other reason than someone else couldn’t give her the love and justice she needed. Look at the big kitties. They are just begging you for a scratch behind the ears, a cuddle, and some lovin’. Just because they are older, doesn’t mean they won’t play either, bring a piece of string, you will find the playful one you are looking for. Read more

“Bringing home a friend “fur” life”….
http:/www.choose-dog-adoption.com
Your family has decided to add an animal in need to your family and it’s a noble; and it’s a great thing to do. You may or may not know however, some of the things required to make your adoption a success, not only for you, but for your new friend too.
Since many of these animals have come from situations they’d soon forget, many adoption centres have instituted a list of requirements you should be prepared for in order to adopt. They aren’t being unfair to you, but rather ensuring that both you and your pet are properly matched. Read more

I Am A Dog
Filed Under Adoption Tips | Leave a Comment
I am an animal. I am a dog. I am your dog. I am a certain breed of dog. I am your pet. As your pet, you have given me a name.
Animal: First and foremost I am an animal. I have animal instincts and animal attributes. If you do not allow me to be an animal, you are putting me into an unnatural state of being. Or, as Cesar Millan says, you are putting me out of my natural balance. You really need to allow me to be what I am supposed to be according to nature. Mother Nature herself!
Dog: I am also a dog, and as a dog I also have certain attributes. One of them is: I travel in packs. My pack has a leader and I am a follower, (unless I am the dog pack leader that is). Otherwise I follow. It comes natural to me.
