Happy National Dog Day from Cork & Paisley (the one snoring) and although there are 2 outdoor beds, they'd rather fight over the one.

This bundle of energy wrapped in cuteness is Zeta and she loves her walks even when it's this hot .... but she also loves returning to her a/c for her treat.

Another one of our longtime feline friends, Izzy. Always nice to see her and those beautiful eyes.

This is 9 mo. old dobie, Luna. She is smart, sassy and as you can see ... a 'stunner'!

"Ahhh, a little privacy please!" It was raining so hard, I thought this was a shiny rock. Thank goodness Abby is oblivious to anything but her sniffs and the other dogs were concerned with something on the other side. Hope this turtle's eggs manage to overcome the poor chose of laying location..

Leo wasn't happy Mom's off having European adventures without her, so we decided to have daily adventures of our own until her return.

Spring/summer hazards!

05/24/2024

Kasha and Kenzie, which I have nicknamed the Special Ks and Mom refers to as the old ladies, have been a constant on my walking schedule for 9 years. Through winter, spring, summer and fall (guess which season these huskies prefer?). These girls, who I have had the privilege of knowing like my own, are moving to the country to explore new paths and soon to welcome another family member (2 legged!). Happy trails to you two (and your family!) and when I visit, I don't want to hear any stories about you getting skunked! Enjoy a few memories of my favourite huskies.

Short dogs aren't fans of the 'No Mow May' campaign, right Belle?

We're not afraid of ogres and trolls living under the bridge but this goose, well, that's another story!

Information about Monday's solar eclipse and your pets.

Hello friends!

The total solar eclipse is just around the corner, and just about everyone is ready to see the once in a lifetime event. We are seeing some mixed information about pet/wildlife safety.

Contrary to what some may read, the sun itself is not any more dangerous during the eclipse. The reason protective eye wear is recommended for humans (who wish to observe the eclipse) is because many of us will be staring directly at the sun that day, which is something we typically avoid.

For our pets, and outdoor wildlife, that day will be similar to any other day. Our pets don’t stare at the sun, so there is no need to keep them indoors on April 08 for any extended period of time. They may notice the change in temperature, but it is unlikely they will exhibit any unusual behaviour.

The eclipse can be more unsettling for birds. The dimming of the sky can mimic behaviour at dusk and during early storm formation, so some birds may demonstrate a wind-down behaviour and there may be less activity in the sky during the peak eclipse. Once the sky returns to normal, so does their behaviour.

If you are purchasing eclipse glasses, please make sure they meet these criteria. For additional information about the eclipse please see:
https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/

For a list of approved solar-viewing goggles please see:

https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety/viewers-filters

It is not safe to watch the eclipse through the lens of your smartphone - it can damage both your phone camera and your eyes. Try this instead:

Safe watching our friends!

This is Opie aka glove thief aka hat thief, aka anything not nailed down thief, an English Cream Retriever who is just over a year. Although we've known him since he's been a puppy, his boundless energy has prevented us taking a photo that's not blurry ... but here he is and he's off!

Not sure what has Max so pensive but Zara's thoughts are very clear, "treats and pets please!" Coming right up!

Love seeing some feline friends:

Mia (long-haired tabby) - always up for a cuddle
Felix (black with snow toe) - awaiting his next adventure
Chesney - at 15, this old man has decided to enjoy the morning sunshine until his treat is brought to him. At your service, Chesney!
