Good morning. I am OPEN today until 3!
The song "A Hard Candy Christmas" came to mind this morning. Dealing with this "loss" of a job for my husband has been time consuming, emotional draining. Any loss be it a loved one or a job it is still a loss and you process it like that. All those things you feel.
And when these things happen around holidays it is worse. But it is just another day, Christmas. Just another day. And we will get through it and this "loss".
I wish All of YOU a Very Merry Christmas.
May you be well and find some joy in each day!!

Should dogs be kept in puppy mill-type conditions in order for their blood to be used to save the lives of other dogs?

Our friends at the LA times (who covered our research into illegal puppy mill brokers) came back with another story today about dogs who live their lives to be blood donors. These dogs exist to save the lives of other dogs- dogs just like yours- but they live in confinement to do it.

We thought this was a really interesting discussion and wanted to bring it here for everyone to talk about. Should these 'closed colonies' of dogs and cats have more oversight and more enrichment requirements? Or should these facilities cease to exist and, potentially, cause a shortage of blood and plasma for dogs and cats facing emergencies and illnesses?

Like many of you, we were unaware of the scale and high-confinement conditions within these kinds of facilities until now and were horrified to see the lack of regulations for the dogs kept in places like this.

*Please note* there are canine community blood banks, which are modeled after the human volunteer system, in which pet dogs and cats can donate their blood and plasma. According to the article however, the need is far greater than what volunteer pets can provide.

Good morning. Here we are a week before Christmas. You know life can change in an instant. We are rolling along doing fine then the s**t hits the fan. We have all been there in some way or another.
Our lives changed yesterday a bit. My husband was laid off from his job of 16 years!! Yep. Got called into the office and said they are laying off 5% of the workforce.
These things can be blessings in disguise. And that is the way I'm looking at it. We will be ok. But it is upsetting to say the least. I just love how these companies are so sneaky about this. They know these things right??!!! Why can't they just tell you sooner or nicer and give you a little heads up instead of see ya!!!

We will be OK!! At least that is what I am hoping.

Remember I will be here until 3:00 this Saturday. Then closed next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So if you need food or treats or chews stop in and get stocked up.
Have a good day.

Good morning. Yikes it is a cold one today. So cold that Ruby had a hard time getting her business done this morning because she dinked around too long. I have the Pawz rubber boots that can help with that. Ruby hates them but they do help. I also have some other boots for dogs that are easy to get on. Stop in to check them out.

Good morning. Winter is here I think, today anyway. By the weekend this white stuff will be gone. I hope.
With the winter weather approaching please keep you eye on my FB page for any closings, late openings or early closings due to the weather. I will post all of that here.
You know I do my best to get here when it is safe to do so. I also have my friend Judy who helps me out, that if weather is ok here for her to get in when I can't we will do so. We all need to stay safe because we have lives that depend on us coming home. ALIVE!
Have a great day everyone and stay warm.
