Meet Nala! One of my newest fur friends. 🙂

Nala is the spunkiest, sweetest old lab! She loves her ball, and taking walks. She has a very jovial spirit that is so infectious! She brightens my day every time I see her 🙂

FUN FACT! Did you know that fans don't help to cool dogs? Fans cool humans by cooling the moisture we produce through sweating. Because dogs pant, fans don't do a lot to cool them down.

We're far from dog days just yet, but early spring is a good time to refresh on what we can do to keep our pets happy and healthy this summer! Michigan springs are volatile enough to plan for summer temperatures anyways!

Here's some helpful infographs from the ASPCA and The Kennel Club, for more information visit these links!

Today is national Siamese Cat day!

feel free to share your Siamese kitties in the comments! :)

Most known for their striking markings and light coat (or perhaps their mischievous behavior in The Lady and The Tramp), these cats have been stealing hearts for centuries.

The Siamese cat is considered a natural breed, with no human intervention taking play in their colors. Speaking of their colors, did you know that Siamese come in 4 different variations? Comment if you know them!

They share their name with their place of origin, Siam, now known as Thailand. Their beautiful appearance and charm earned them cozy living with royalty in the 14th century.
It wasn't until the 19th century that the west would encounter these striking felines.
First showcased in the Crystal Palace Cat Show in London, its no surprise that they quickly became a desired, fashionable breed.
From there they grew to the icons they are.

They are known for being a social, chatty breed, and considered one of the more high maintenance breeds. This is due to their need for extra time, affection, and play. Though, the one Siamese I have met was perfectly content to laze on the couch and be unbothered. Every animal has their own personality after all.

If you'd like to learn more on Siamese cats, heres some links:

Learn more from the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance program about these affectionate, energetic, and talkative felines with striking features!

Today I thought I'd share a little information on the question I get asked the most by friends and family who get new dogs. What should I feed them? the infographic provides some information to better educate you on current pet food trends and the risks of some of them, as well as some info on how to pick a good food for your furbaby!
