I really try to be a greenie…in fact, I love being green..it has improved my life as well as the life of the environment.  I know..all about progress!  But I will admit, I have one really big guilt..I have been using Pee Pee Pads for our wee furry babies over the last 5 years. I always felt I could somehow justify it because …

Even though Purina has yet to make an organic and all natural food for pets- they are trying to get people to recycle all of those fancy feast and friskees that you are feeding your cat through a togetherwecanrecycle campaign.  About 3 years ago, I realized that I had to make a difference in the amount of landfill waste that …

I am a big believer in taking care of my furry babies when they are sick.  However, I have also come to understand that being green means that I can find at-home remedies for them as well as for myself.  Common sense is key and understanding a variety of dog-related sicknesses will help us all to determine whether we can …

I think about it now.  Bailey, who is now 11, will not live forever.  I think about life without him but I think more about when the time comes for us to make one of the most painful decisions, myself as a  pet owner will have to face – the decision about  how we will handle his remains when he does pass away. I want to be prepared.  …

I have to admit, I used to love sending and receiving cards but over the last few years, I appreciate that I am not adding to waste.  I always get a family pic done at Christmas and send a few especially to family and friends but overall, I get an online card to send to Co-workers and business partners and also ones to …

It’s that time of year…food everywhere!  We are always nibbling….and sharing!  One important thing to keep in mind is that not everything we taste and digest should be shared with our dogs! Dogs do not have the same metabolism/ digestive track and for this reason..even though it is the time to be merry, it’s also the time to be careful …

I have never really neglected one very important dog care issue-Paw Care.  However, I have become even more careful since fostering ( soon to be adopted:)  Punky, from Taiwan.  Punky is disabled ( not that she thinks so) and does not  have much use of her back legs.  So, her front paws really get a beating because they do the work …

Do you remember the FDA report that came out in January, and reported on CBC, about the dangers of Bisphenol A or BPA?  This chemical is most often found in the making of plastic ( #7) but believe it or not, it could also be found in those soup, spaghetti, gravy and veggie cans you buy and consume on a regular basis. In …

The holidays are fast approaching and many people will be choosing to travel with their pets.  We do not like leaving them behind but we always travel doggie free.  We have a wonderful house-sitter who we greatly appreciate.  Packing up the pooches is not really an option for us.  If you do make the choice to travel with your pets, …
