Fido in Fiji
Summer travel season is here and a recent survey reveals that consumers plan to spend the same or more on travel this year. According to Travel Leaders, one of America’s top-ranked travel companies, more than 88 percent of us will equal or increase last year’s travel budget. With 62 percent of households owning one or…
People Treats for Dogs
Dogs are always looking for a treat and who can resist their smiling mugs when they dance around to entice your good virtue knowing his weakness. With my pack, I practice “nothing in life is free”…nothing received if not earned. As long as my pups sit, lie down or practice a substantial stay cue, they…

Foxy Roxie
There are so many stray cats in our world. It’s very sad…they live outdoors scouring the trash bins for food, finding a dense shrub to sleep or hide and never knowing love. In early February, a young kitten showed up on my patio, wailing. It’s hard to know what her cries were trying to tell…
Primped and Pampered
Every six weeks my pampered pooches experience “Spa Day” where they are cleaned, polished and groomed. Lhasa Apsos and many other long haired breeds require regular grooming visits. For me, I like to keep their coats short for easy maintenance. They both received a rigorous bath, a badly-needed nail trim and coat reduction. Our latest…
Meow~Meow Morning Meow
Non-cat people do not have the luxury of waking to the sound of purrs and the tickle of whiskers on one’s face. My cat, Sophie, has the innate ability to know exactly what time I should wake up each morning. She will begin pawing at me, walking on me, pulling on my PJs & blanket,…
