We are so sad to say that our very own kitty cat Duke fell suddenly ill last night and passed away in our arms at the vets office a couple of hours later. They have no idea why. He was almost 10 years old. RIP Duke. You protected our home from critters and gave us lots of snuggles.

I’m sure these things happen with private sitters and boarding homes too. I am proud to have been able to provide excellent care for every pet I have been trusted with for years and pray to continue that level of service.

Sad to hear about the recent incident where 3 dogs escaped from a local boarding kennel during the Christmas period. Unfortunately, one dog died from heat exhaustion and dehydration before it was discovered. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of similar tragedies in our area, leading to heart-wrenching outcomes. In one case, a dog was mistakenly reported as already collected, only to be found deceased later.

While many boarding facilities provide great care, it’s clear that some dogs simply don’t handle being away from home well, particularly being away from their human family as well. Being confined in a kennel environment can cause stress and trauma, especially for dogs who aren’t used to it. As a result, some may even suffer long-term emotional impacts.

Perhaps it's time to consider alternatives like pet sitters or smaller in-home boarding, where dogs are treated as part of the family. These options often provide a more personal, relaxed experience and can sometimes even be more affordable, especially for families with multiple pets. There are also more dog friendly accommodation options available these days where you can take your pets with you...

It’s crucial we rethink our approach to pet care in today’s world where we advocate for the well-being of all sentient beings. My heartfelt condolences to the family who recently lost their beloved dog. 💔

Captain Snufflepants says hi !! Well not really 😝. He isn’t that social. But he is enjoying some snuggle time with me this morning. What’s happening today with your fur babies?

I preach this daily.

🚨🐾 BEWARE OF KIBBLE MARKETING TRICKS!

Don't let pet food labels fool you! 🐕 You’d think they prioritize animal protein, right? Not always. Some kibble marketers use sneaky tricks to mislead you. 😡

Here’s the truth: Ingredients are listed by *initial weight*, not the final product. Meats like chicken may appear first, but they’re packed with water—up to 70%! Once processed and dried, the real protein content shrinks dramatically.

📉 Imagine this: A kibble bag claims "Chicken" as the first ingredient. Sounds great, right? But after drying, most of that weight disappears, leaving only a small percentage of actual chicken. Meanwhile, those dry ingredients (like corn meal) stay heavy and dominate the kibble.

Translation? That "Chicken" kibble might actually be "Corn Meal" kibble. 🫣

💡 The fix? Educate yourself and choose wisely for your dog’s health! 🐶
