Just want everyone to know that Snowflake AKA Snow AKA Snowy has been adopted. She leaves for her furever home tomorrow. Love you Snowy....You have brought so many people joy on your journey.

Snowflake's Bio: Snowflake is a 5 year old black and white parti female Pomeranian who is about 7.5lbs. Snow is a delightful little girl but she is very shy and of the 4 that came to us she is the most nervous. She also demonstrated some of this behavior with her past owner and he said she eventually comes to you on via a belly-crawl. So she is going to need someone that will be very patient with her. Snow would be best with a home with a fenced yard. She has been around children and other poms, but I do not know how she will react to children. I think she would be ideal in a home with 1-2 other small dogs and no children. Snow is currently being fostered in CT. Adoption fee is $800, she is up to date on all shots, been spayed, had a dental been de-wormed and had flea, tick and heartworm preventative.

Snowflake is still waiting for the perfect family to adopt her. She is being fostered in Connecticut. If you would like to be considered as her furever family please complete an application with us at https://forms.gle/4cpZSQidvaUSjrgt8. Snow is learning all of the good things including table manners. She is also doing great with her leash training too.

Here is a link to grooming basics.

Grooming Basics Posted on February 16th, 2024 POMERANIAN GROOMING BASICS Tools I think are needed for grooming.  The more dogs you are grooming the more upscale you need your tools to be as you will be using them more and they need to hold up plus they need to make the job easier for you as well. ...

Grooming! It's the dirty 8 letter word here. :) This weekend is another groom-a-thon, since last weekend got derailed. Plum and Snow you better watch out for the dryer, I know it is your favorite.

Winter is still with us here in Maryland, but poms still need to be clean so that they are comfortable. Anyone else grooming this weekend? Do you have any great tips you would like to share? One of my favorites is you have to line brush/comb before you do anything else. Don't want to leave any loose fur or you risk it matting during/after the bath.

Snow loves snow. Because she loves snow so much, Snow will be going to a foster home in CT before the snow season is over.

Billy Bean AKA Billy is a 5 year old black male Pomeranian that weighs about 6.7lbs. Billy has some knee/patella luxation, but is not symptomatic. He is shy but is the most outgoing of the group. He will tuck himself in a ball when unsure but lets you do what you wish. He is not found of a crate and did toss cookies on the long drive from NJ to MD. High recommend a fenced yard or the use of an exercise pen. He has been around children and other poms, but I do not know how he will react to children. I think he would be ideal in a home with 1-2 other small dogs. He is up to date on all shots, been spayed, had a dental been de-wormed and had flea, tick and heartworm preventative.

Did we post last week about Fast CAT? Well yes we did and no it is not having your dog chase cats or dress them as cats even if the later sounds like fun. :)

Here is a article on Fast CAT from AKC.

New! If you need to have a correction made to your dog’s record, there is a new and convenient way to let us know. Please use the new Fast CAT Correction Request Form for faster service.

Billy and Plum are still looking for their forever homes. As they wait would anyone be willing to foster one of them. I think that Billy would do better in a home with less dogs and more attention to help him with his shyness.

So did you make a New Year's resolution that involved hiking with your dog?

If you did the National Parks Service has a program for you. Check out their website to find a participating park.

Let's get to hiking and maybe we can make some BARK Rangers!

National parks are exciting places for pets to visit with their family while on vacation. Sometimes these new places can be so exciting as to be overstimulating. Join these events to learn how to have a positive experience with your pet in unfamiliar environments. Learn the B.A.R.K. principles so yo...

Let's talk about holiday treats.

Often during the holidays pets get extra treats. This is great but we have to be careful as one of the biggest reasons that pets are taken to the veterinarian during the holidays is because they systems aren't used to these treats and they are often high in fat and that can cause pancreatitis or other GI issues.

So I thought I would share one of my homemade treat recipes. If you have one you would like to share please share.

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Treats
3 cups flour
1/2 cup ‏quick oats
1/2 teaspoon ‏cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 Eggs
3 tablespoons ‏all natural peanut butter (Make sure it doesn't have artificial sweeteners in it they are toxic to dogs)

Mix together
Rollout 1/4" thick
cut into desired shapes
cook at 350F for 10-15 min or until very crisp

You can also to 1/2" think and cook for 30min, but my Pomeranians like the thinner cookies.
