Who doesn’t love a little gang of Chihuahuas? I love these three amigos. One of them is still evaluating me so he’s hard to get into the shot. The girls are highly food motivated, burrowing, lap dogs who love people. They also have a sweet orange cat brother who fits in well and he doesn’t take any of that Chihuahua attitude. It’s a great fun household. Do you love Chihuahuas as much as me or have you only encountered the spicy, feisty, aggressive stereotypes?

🌹 Found a bluebonnet. We almost missed our photo op of the season. 🤣 It’s kind of a little game of hide and seek though. 😭 Where’s Waldo? 🤪 At least there’s no snakes hiding here. 😊

Today I ended my last stay with this happy girl. Sigh. She’s moving overseas with her family at the end of the week. We’ve had a year of walks, visits, and sleepovers together. It’s never easy saying goodbye but I know she’s going to love her new tropical home. Safe travels Feliz! I know you’re gonna love the fantastic adventures ahead. I’ll miss your happy greetings and snuggles.

She loved chasing lizards, loved cuddly naps, but hated the camera. Here’s a montage of her best “no pictures, please!” moments. 😂

Happy tongue out Tuesday! We are so glad we are past the summer heat and Monday but our tongue's are still fall-ing out. We are loving the slightly cooler temps. 👅

RIP Swatch. He will be missed. One of the sweetest French Bulldogs I've ever met. I spent many hours in Mood during my last career and Swatch always made my day better. All the NYC store pets are such a joy in your day when you live there. Swatch was very special.

It’s with heavy hearts that we inform you our beloved Swatch passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday morning at 15½ years old. He was a star who lived a long life full of love, happiness, and plenty of pets. You couldn’t find a sweeter, more patient, or more popular boy. We will miss him with all our hearts.
Love, The Mood Family

It's important to remember not all dogs may be friendly or some may still be in training. Always approach animals with caution.

How do we beat the heat? We use frogg toggs chilly cooling pad towels! We also take shorter walks making sure to stop and drink lots of water. Add a bonus breeze off the lake and we can get through these hot summer days.

Tools to help beat the heat. Do they work? Tested and approved gear:

Dog cooling vests are popular in the summertime, but do they really help to cool your dog down? We asked Dr. Rebecca Greenstein.

We've reached the dangerous heat levels here in Houston. Here are some tips to stay cool and safe with your dogs this summer:

🐕‍🦺 Know the sign of heat stroke
🐕‍🦺 Walk early mornings or late evening
🐕‍🦺 Bring and take water breaks
🐕‍🦺 Take shorter walks
🐕‍🦺 Walk in shady areas
🐕‍🦺 Look into cooling vests, towels and bandanas for both of you
🐕‍🦺 Protect their paws from burning by staying on the grass, & using paw balm, wax, or dog booties.

HEAT STROKE
Know the warning signs of heat stroke in your dog! At a body temperature of 105 degrees, internal organ damage begins. I have seen a patient develop heat stroke in 76 degree weather!!
Tips to avoid heat stroke:
1. Only walk your dog in the early morning or late evening. Test asphalt temperature with the palm of your hand. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your pet. They CAN burn their paw pads.
2. Keep your pets indoors during the day, if possible. If outside, make sure they plenty of access to all day shade and fresh cool water.
3. Avoid over-exertion of short snouted dog breeds (Bulldogs, Frenchies, Boston Terriers, Pugs, Pekingese). They are MUCH more prone to heat stroke.

Along with common sense precautions, a pet first aid kit is an indispensible tool for keeping your dog safe. Here's what you'll need.

We frequently talk about checking to make sure your pet's microchip is properly registered, but it is also important to ensure their chip is in place and working properly at yearly vet visits! Microchips can migrate from their original implantation spot between the shoulder blades, and in rare cases, malfunction. Make sure to have your pet scanned for their chip at yearly vet visits 🐾
