I just want to take a moment and thank each of you for your continued support of my business.

Unfortunately, with losing my mom, moving in with Daddy, and my brain cancer diagnosis, I will be closing Nani's Pet Playground.

This meme has been circulating around our area, and I have been tagged numerous times. This is not necessarily true, but the areas for which this is most prevalent is in areas where forests are dense. Here is an article discussing what it is, where it is more likely to occur, and many other facts associated with the spread. I personally don't take any of my dogs to dog parks or large daycare centers due to many diseases being transmittable. I keep my guests to a minimum with my pet sitting business and clean up the back yard at least daily.

“Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.
The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.
Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them.
Dont let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they dont like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They dont understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.
Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake. Be with them until the end.”

This is a legitimate seller. Her French Bulldogs are the best! If interested, please contact Natasha directly or let me know your info and I'll get it to her ASAP. If I had room for another dog, I'd get them both myself!

All shelters are full and there's no end in sight. Please give, if you can!

‼️‼️‼️Dancer has a very urgent request‼️‼️

We are completely out of canned dog food at the shelter, and we use that for the puppies and skinny pups that come in.

We are also completely out of Dawn Dish Soap, which we use to clean their food and water bowls.

Would anyone be willing to help Dancer and his friends and order some for us🙏🏼
You can have it shipped directly to the shelter or you can drop it off Sunday-Saturday 8-4:30pm.

FROM THE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT OF dogsnet_training:

Dogs need daily exercise...but they don't need daily walks!

If taking your pup for a walk today isn't practical, here are 5 awesome alternatives (modelled by the very bouncy 🙂):

1) Play tug. If your pup isn't super keen, the trick here is to let them win! Release while they are pulling - just the first or second tug at first then build up how long you 'compete' for the toy before letting her pull it from your hand 😁

2) Play fetch! Retrieving games are a great way to exercise your pup if you aren't able to walk far yourself, or need to keep them restricted to a yard. You can even retrieve indoors. Carefully. 😉

3) Make a kibble trail. Take a handful of their daily kibble allowance and lay a trail for them to follow. Make sure they are shut somewhere else while you lay it! Keep it simple at first, and make it harder if they enjoy the game!

4) Teach them to quarter. This one is a little harder - and involves a bit of running for you, to start with. But teaching your dog to run long stretches from left to right 'across' your path, while you walk slowly forwards, is great fun. And really wears them out. Hunting breeds like spaniels take to this one especially well. ❤️

5) Do extra training sessions! Keep sessions short and positive, so they stay fun and stimulating for your pup. If you don't want to do more on the basics, use this time to teach tricks. It's entertaining for both of you - and a great way to practice you training skills too 😁

Have you got any other suggestions for ways to exercise a pup on a 'no walk' day? We'd love to hear them! ❤️
