Back by popular demand.

My volunteer group, Vulnerable PAWS Project, will once again be setting up adjacent the Main Street Farmers Market, offering PET NAIL TRIMS, with two professional vet techs on site.

Come out and enjoy our wonderful community atmosphere, browse The Farmers Market for fresh foods and produce, and bring your pet for his/her routine nail trim.

Stop by and say hello to The Dog Guy, who will be on site for the day, offering FREE guidance and advice on any dog behaviour issues.

Please share with your pet loving network to help promote this great event and help maximize our fundraising efforts to help those animals who need it most.

When Fido resists going out for his walk in the rain, pay attention to what he/she is trying to tell you.

Dogs hear four times more acutely than humans, meaning the sound of thunder and rain is SO much louder to them.

This increase in noise can be overwhelming for some dogs. If your dog pants, paces, barks, or hides, they are quite possibly trying to tell you that they are afraid of rain/thunder.... It's OK to forego a walk in the rain... there are plenty of indoor games and tricks that you can engage in with your dog...

Shy little Chopin came to try an overnighter before his BIG staycation...

Nicole's parting shot before she left us.

As I always do, I sent a lot of photo and video updates to her family. When the children saw her having such a good time they said:

"Mum, what if she doesn't want to come back home?'

Don't worry, kids...it doesn't matter how much fun your dog is having with us, there's no place like home... And Nicole happily demonstrated that when her family arrived for her ..💞💕

07/20/2024

Photos like this make my day.... Two happy pups getting high on life...

Nicole's had a great time with us... We're sorry to send her home so soon...
