You vacuum your area rugs on a regular basis, and you try your best to keep them clean, but if you have pets, it sure can seem like an uphill battle. Those furry little bundles of joy can wreak serious havoc, like little shedding time bombs filled with love and dander. Sometimes vacuuming alone doesn't do the trick when it comes to eliminating pet hair, so what's a baffled pet lover to do? Take a deep breath, roll up your sleeves, and grab that area rug. We have work to do.
The Rubber Glove Approach
Here's a little known but highly effective secret for pet hair removal. Take a rubber glove or sandal, place it over your hand, and firmly rub the carpet in the direction of the pile. You'll be amazed by how quickly the hair separates from the rug. This handy little trick is also effective for removing pet hair from clothing and blankets.
The Damp Sponge Approach
Take a damp sponge and gently brush it over the carpet. Make sure not to soak the sponge, as excess water may only make your problems worse (did somebody say mold?). It's best to vacuum the carpet first, and it's also worth noting that this approach works best on low pile rugs. After you have finished with your pet hair removal effort, allow the rug to air dry.
The Baking Soda Approach
This final technique is especially useful if your area rug has become plagued by pet odor. Gently sprinkle baking soda over the rug, let it sit for a few minutes, and then vacuum. The hair will clump together and lift from the rug more readily, along with the baking soda. Your area rug will smell fresh, and your pets will be free to shed again (hey, it's a never-ending job when you love your dogs and cats).
Tips and Tricks
When vacuuming, try using your thin hose extensions. Not only is this approach much easier on the rug fibers, but it's more effective for targeting pet hair and dander. The more often you vacuum, the easier it will be to remove the pet hair. Finally, remember to brush and otherwise groom your pets often, as this will minimize the accumulation of dander.
Pet Lovers Unite
We love our dogs and cats; they bring us tremendous joy, and a bit of hair is a very small price to pay for the unconditional love that these wonderful animals afford us. Still, we want to keep our décor looking ship shape, and with a bit of elbow grease, we can do just that, pets or no pets. If you're looking for some new eco-friendly area rugs of your very own, check out the wide selection at Natural Home Rugs. Our rugs are sustainable, all-natural and affordable. Get yours today.


As most couples want their closest friends and family members with them to celebrate an occasion as special as a wedding, some include their pets now too! It’s not uncommon for people nowadays to treat their pets as if they’re their own children, so why should it be surprising for them to extend the same treatment when it comes to weddings? While including your furry friend may seem like a cute and sweet idea, there are some things that one should consider before having your pet see you walk down that aisle.
The first thing to consider before planning your wedding with your pets’ attendance in mind is the logistics. Is the idea of including your pets to the wedding even possible? Presuming you prioritize the ceremony and the reception’s venues first, check if both, either or neither would allow pets in the vicinity. This helps you figure out what sort of involvement is even possible for your special loved one.
Besides getting clearance from the venues, check in with your guests if any of them would mind being with your pet for a little bit at the ceremony. Go one step further and see if most of them would be comfortable with the idea or if you may have guests that are allergic to your pets. The latter may not exactly be a deterrent, but it’s something to consider when planning.
Level of Engagement: Simple and Easy
You have to admit, it’s hard enough to get a child to follow basic instructions for a ceremony, let alone a pet. Unless your pet is extremely well trained (or at least, to the extent that you know that they follow instructions 100% of the time), there’s a chance they might not be able to impress you with some grand trick on the day. Accept that and plan a backup if they don’t pull through. Most owners acknowledge this and have their pets around merely as guests of the wedding, as it is the easiest option. Merely having their pets around is enough for a lot of pet owners.
Being a responsible pet owner
The most important thing to consider when making this decision is your pet’s wellbeing. Think about their personality type. Will they be able to handle being around so many people? Should you dress them up? Would they be comfortable in that cute wedding bow? If you really want them there but can’t confidently gauge how they would deal with the environment, consider hiring a pet sitter for the day so you can happily enjoy your celebrations with no worries.
Whether or not you choose to involve your pets in your special day, remember that the spotlight should be on the ceremony itself. How you choose to accentuate that is clearly up to you and whether or not that involves your furry friends is only your decision to make. Just remember that at the end of the day, you can come home to your pets and they love you regardless.

For Christmas the kids aren't getting a bunch of toys (which they never really do...), and they ARE getting a pet! Our very first pet, with fur. That's much different than one that has a lifespan of approximately 3 months.
He's going to stay at the shelter until it's closer to Christmas. But I can hardly wait.
Lord, thank you for making pets, and that we can have one.
I pray that this new little friend will bring even more joy to our home and be a blessing.


Did you or your family happen to get a new puppy for Christmas? Puppies can bring the greatest of joys! The affection, and sheer innocence can brighten everyone’s day and add a sense of anticipation to return home from a long hard day at work. But that joy can easily fade to frustration for those not prepared to face the challenges a new puppy can bring.
Although with preparation and the right plan in place, training a new puppy can be more fun as you think. The key is to stick to a routine and trust in your puppy’s abilities. Time will turn your new recruit into a happy, reliable new addition to the pack – What we like to call, the perfect Dharma Dog.
The key to success here is routine and putting in the groundwork. Your puppy must be put on a tight schedule, and when not in your presence must be kept in a crate, yard or dog pen at all times. This will require a lot of time and patience, ten to sixteen weeks to be more precise, but you are setting your pup up for a lifetime of success.
You should obtain a properly sized dog crate, which your puppy will eat and sleep in. The crate mimics the comfort of a den and uses the canine’s instinct of dislike for eliminating where he/or she sleeps and eats. This is why crate use is the most successful way to housebreak. Worried about how your dog will react the a crate? Introduce a plastic crate, which provides a more secure feeling than a cage-type enclosure.
The crate should be tall enough to let the puppy stand but only long enough to allow him/or her to turn around. It should not be deep enough to let her eliminate in the back and lie down in the front. Please note that in most cases, your puppy’s growth will require you to move to a larger crate usually around the four-month stage.
Placement of the crate is solely up to you. While some people find it convenient to keep it in their bedroom, others may rather place it in it’s own room/area. This is usually common when knowing the puppy will whine or bark during the night. It is also important to know that if you respond to the puppy every time she whines you will be training the puppy to whine for attention. You should commit to your puppy sleeping there; as tempting as it is to respond to whining or crying, if you give-in and take him/ or her into your bed, you may end up with an accident occurring while you are sleeping. Another major benefit of crate training is that your dog will happily settle into a crate should crating be necessary for travel.
Once you’ve got all of the above tools in place, next set up a schedule. Your puppy will need to eliminate in the early morning, after every meal, after play or walks, after meal time, whenever she gets excited, and right before bedtime. And, for at least a few weeks, you will probably need to let her out sometime in the very early morning before you would normally awaken. Young puppies generally can’t last four hours or more during the first month or two. The key is to gradually build up her ability to “hold it,” while teaching her that the home is never a place to eliminate. If the puppy is kept within the crate whilst you are out of the home, and this time exceeds 4 hours, it is best to either make a trip home to let your puppy out half way through the day, or schedule a Potty Walk to ensure that your pup doesn’t cause an accident inside his/or her crate. This is very important, not only for house breaking your puppy, but also his/or her health.
2. When to Begin Socializing Your Puppy
The answer to this is simple; Immediately! Start by introducing your puppy to family, friends, neighbours, and, once your dog is properly vaccinated, resident dogs. Make sure that when first introducing your puppy to other dogs, this is done in a calm, safe, controlled environment. The first few months of your puppy’s life are a key socialization window and you need to introduce him/or her to as many different people and dogs as possible.
When introducing your puppy to new people, have them take a laid-back approach. Frenetic greetings can only teach your puppy to get overexcited whenever greeting, so be sure to keep it composed and dignified – doing this will teach him/or her to be tranquil around guests, instead of jumpy or nervous. Although you should get your puppy out of the home as soon as you can, to greet people and to experience the sights and sounds of the world, you should be aware of what is known as the fear imprint stage. This stage is during the eight to eleven week period or development. If anything frightening occurs—a loud noise, a backfire, a crack of thunder—it will often stay with the dog for life.
As soon as your puppy passes the four-month immunity stage, take a puppy obedience class or social club. You will both learn basic obedience and get lots of socializing time with people and puppies.
All puppies will require exercise. Whether this is walking, playing, fetch etc. make sure to go easy on vigorous exercise for at least four to six months, especially with large breeds, whose fast-growing bones can be damaged by over-exercising. Stick to an easy pace, and keep distances down to half a mile until the dog reaches six months. Avoid rough-housing and beware of older dogs playing rough.
4. Grooming your Puppy
Softly brush and comb your puppy every day, but only bathe him/or her when required. The grooming ritual allows you to examine your puppy for lumps, bumps, cuts, or injuries. Handle his/or her legs, ears, tail, and feet, and even look in their mouth. With a puppy-sized nail clipper, you should begin cutting your puppies nails once per week. Just be sure to only snip off about a sixteenth of an inch, to avoid cutting the “quick” and causing pain. You can also purchase a “finger brush” at most pet stored to gently clean his/or her teeth. Once your puppy has been vaccinated, it’s always a good idea to take her to a grooming shop. Groomer’s will be able to identify if there are any health problems that your dog may be showing, and you are also laying the groundwork for your dog to welcome unknown handling.
5. Know What to Feed Your Puppy
If you were provided with breeder/shelter puppy food, start to wean your puppy off of this food slowly, over a period of one or two weeks, and start him/or her onto a high quality puppy food. Feed your puppy three times per day at first, but reduce this to twice per day at around three or four months. You should do your best to feed on a schedule and never leave food down for more than ten minutes. Handle your puppy’s food dish in front or her; place a treat or two into it, let her eat it, then pick up the dish and place another treat in it. This will prevent food guarding from developing. Another way to do this is by removing the dogs food whilst eating, and then returning the food in a calm gentle manner. Be sure to have all family members do this!
6. Raising a Confident, Well Adjusted Dog
It’s all about positive experiences! At three months of age, when your puppy is out of the fear imprint stage, as mentioned above, gradually desensitize him/ or her to odd sounds, particularly doorbells, vacuums, lawn mowers, and other potentially distressing noises that can trigger aggression or worry. This should all be performed as a positive enjoyable experience for the puppy. For example, have someone turn on the noisy appliance inside while you and the puppy play outdoors. The sound should be barely discernable to you at this point. Gradually bring your puppy closer while playing and treating her. Eventually, you should be able to run the appliance with her indoors without problem.
With patience. and by sticking to routine, you’ll be well on your way to having the perfect puppy that you deserve!

Cats are undoubtedly great, but do they ever do things that make you wonder what they’re thinking? Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite cat memes that make us say… What?!
We actually have this fountain!
Watch a video of our cats using it!
Just this morning, one of my cats was playing with a box in our pantry when he got spooked by… Who knows? He takes off running through the kitchen and into our living room, runs right into a box I have sitting on the floor, and keeps going upstairs. Then there’s my other cat who, as I’m sitting on the couch watching TV, decides he’s going to try to knock my drink off the table. What’s the deal?
The other day, my kids were playing with their nerf guns when my cat became enthralled with chasing after the darts. He even went to the point of stalking them – hiding behind a box and jumping out to attack it!Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite “huh?” cat memes for you to enjoy!
This list will be open to YOUR submissions until 12/31/17!
If you enjoy this post, then you’ll definitely want to vote in our 2017 Christmas Cat Contest! Submissions will be open through 12/22/17, with the winners announced on Christmas Eve! Show off your cat or your best cat memes to enter!

I've been MIA this week because we got a new baby at our house!
Meet Walter. He's an 11 week old Boston Terrier, and let me tell you: he's both a scholar and a gentleman.
Now many of you who know me personally have heard me say that I'm not a dog person. And I'm really not. But we're working out our differences. He sits on my lap while I'm on the computer.
I'm still a little freaked out, just because I'm not used to having someone to watch out for, and I don't know what's okay or not. I am getting better, and he's getting used to his new surroundings also. He's not a barker or a biter, so that helps some of my anxiety. And the fact that he is so darn cute. I mean come on. It doesn't get much better than that.
Well, actually, check out this link to photos of Boston Terriers in halloween costumes. That might be cuter.

Since Zoe's sad departure from this life this past Monday, Zeke has seemed lost and lonely. Without Zoe at his side, he hasn't bothered getting up to greet us all by himself at the door when we return. He hasn't been as playful or happy. The day after Zoe's death, I was trying to think of something that would cheer him up. While shopping at Target I ventured into the pet aisle and I found my answer... I knew Zeke had to have him. He cost more than the dog toys I usually get, but this one was made by the American Kennel Club so I hoped it had to be strong (we'll find out!). This new answer to Zeke's lonely problem came home with us and Zeke was immediately smitten. We named him Nutty. Of course Nutty the squirrel in no way replaces Zeke's best friend Zoe, but it has given him and us a little joy in our lives this week... Nutty squeaks. Zeke doesn't quite know what to make of that. He squeezes Nutty's tail between his teeth and seems surprised that Nutty cries out. At first this seemed to confuse Zeke. It's hilarious because he starts whining when Nutty squeaks... Like he's worried about him yet he can't help crushing him between his teeth! Now Zeke carries Nutty everywhere. He even insisted on taking him outside with him the other day. I was worried that Nutty would end up in the yard as an unrecognizable bit of mud covered fur like his other former "friends". But when Zeke was done with his business outside, he came scratching on the back door, proudly carrying Nutty in his mouth. He brings him in the chair with him and sits with him between his paws. Yesterday he came into my room looking anxious... He looked around the room, out the back door, in my closet, whining.... It broke my heart. "Are you looking for Zoe?" I asked. He heard Zoe's name and perked up... but then... he stumbled on Nutty... Then his tail started wagging... and he was frisky and happy again. So for now, Nutty is easing some of Zeke's pain... And Zeke's hilarious 'relationship' with Nutty is easing some of ours. And today when I returned home, there was Zeke, all by himself, dancing at the door to greet me! Yay! We're making progress. Here's a photo of Zeke and his new pal- Nutty.
God bless. Kayla

In other news, within a few short months of losing my Mo, Precious is not long for this world. Taking care of elderly dogs is heart-wrenching, but they deserve as much love and attention that puppies do!
I don't think Tiny will deal with losing his buddy very well - they have lived together since he came to me as a puppy, and they have been completely inseparable. It's been a very rough few days, on top of a very rough few months.
I love you my Precious Tank Girl!

In most cases, a veterinarian will administer a sedative drug before the euthanasia drug. The pet owner may want to visit their pet until the final stage. The sedative may be administered to the pet via a shot or a catheter; the sedative may be given only if the pet is particularly fearful. The sedative may sting your pet, so you should discuss the process with your veterinarian beforehand.
If you do not wish to be present during euthanasia, you can ask the veterinarian to bring you into the room. Being with your pet during the process can help you grieve. The veterinarian may also use your presence to reassure your pet. If you are unsure of the process, you may ask the vet to perform a spiritual ritual for you. If you have a favorite spiritual or religious belief, the vet may want to help you with the funeral arrangements.

From troubled street dog, to lady pooch of leisure, the spirited Tilki is this month's 'Meet Our Customer' series...
What is your dog’s name?
Tilki (or Tilks)
How did you come up with the name? Does it have any specific
We adopted her from the shelter and kept the name she was given there. All the dogs were named according to something significant in either their appearance or characteristics. For example, there was an obese dog named “Balina” meaning Whale, a dog with unusual bright blue eyes, was named “Ice”, not very original but I guess it’s easy when you have so many dogs coming in. Anyway, Tilki means “Fox” in Turkish, and with her colouring and pointy “Foxy” ears, it makes sense.
How old is your dog?
Because she was rescued from the street, it’s difficult to know her exact age. Although the vet estimated approximately 2 years old. We celebrated her 3rd birthday earlier this year. We had a party with her dog park friends and pup-cakes! :D
What breed is your dog?
Tilki is a mixture of who knows what! Haha. Like most of the stray dogs here, they are all kinds of mix of breed. I would love to do a DNA test, but the vet here said “we don’t do Hollywood Tests”, haha! I hope we can test when we take her back to UK with us. I think it’s important to know for her old age, if we need to keep a eye on anything that is typical to certain breeds.
What is the story of Tilki?
Where to begin…? So, unbeknown to us, a friend of ours, Ihsan found this poor skinny sick looking dog hanging around the petrol station near his place. He kept trying to give her tins of food, but she wouldn’t eat. She was so afraid, but he managed to take her to the vet. She was seriously malnourished and had some kind of blood parasite/infection. Because she needed a few treatments, a few weeks apart, Ihsan didn’t want her to stay in the cage at the vet clinic the whole time, so he took her to the shelter and sponsored her to stay there, hoping she could be adopted once she’d finished treatment.
During this time, Craig and I had been discussing the idea of rescuing/adopting a dog, since there are SO many strays here in Istanbul that are in need of a good home, and as I’d just started working from home, the time was right.
A few weeks later, Craig and Ihsan were chatting, and Craig mentioned that we were thinking about taking a dog. At this point, he said “I have the perfect dog for you!” He showed us a photo of this sad fragile looking dog and our hearts melted. We could see in her eyes that she was desperate for some love. So that was it, she was ours!
It was a slow process and is still an ongoing challenge to get her to relax at times. It’s obvious she has really lived through some incredible trauma during her time on the street. (Sadly, like too many dogs here). It breaks my heart to think about.
A year later, the vet now says she’s overweight instead of underweight (I blame Craig and all the sneaky treats he gives her). She still has some moments of fear and anxiety, but she’s very happy in her new home and gives us as much love if not more than we give her! Our little love!
What is your dog’s favourite food?
Chicken, cheese, eggs, and these super stinky chicken and fish pork hide dental treat that Craig found at the pet shop. Yuck!
What is your dog’s favourite game?
She loves to play catch with her soft toys. Unfortunately, she’s afraid of balls (as hard as I try to get her to play)
What is your favourite thing to do together?
We have a nature/woodland park 10 minutes’ drive from home, we try to go there at least 5 times a week for a nice long walk. We love to escape the city and she loves to sniff everything. She has many stray dog friends there that often join us on our walk. It’s our happy place.
What is a bad habit that your dog has?
Lisa: Stinky farts!
Craig: Expects breakfast in bed!
What is the funniest memory involving your pet?
Lisa: Tilki was running around and in between this close bunch of trees in the forest when she was on the long lead. I was just watching Craig trying to keep up and not get tangled in the lead as she just kept going and going, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe!
Craig: When she gets excited and runs like Bambi on ice.
What is the hardest thing about being a dog owner?
Lisa: Seeing how afraid she gets of thunder, fireworks (we get a lot of fireworks here), or other loud noises and not being able to help her.
Craig: Not being able to take in every dog that needs a home!
Which NextGenPaws pet portrait did you choose for your dog? Why?
I really wanted the Lady with Style because it just seemed perfect. As much as she’s a big scaredy cat, Tilki often appears very regal. Our friends call her Madame Tilki, and often comment on how she’s such a “Lady”.
Craig on the other hand, wanted many of the pawtraits available! We often comment on her big ears, so Yoda seemed appropriate. We love Harry Potter and named our fish after the wizarding friends, so that was also an obvious choice. The Convict was just a funny option that we had to have. There are so many amazing options on your website, it would have been so easy to keep going…
Where is your canvas now?

Magic is a current resident at our dog park. He prefers to do his own thing as opposed to playing with the other dogs, but is nonetheless a member of the pack. You can catch him snoozing in the shade with the others on a hot day. Magic went to the dog park on a leash, but one day we discovered him without it attached! Poof! Gone, like magic. We suspect this independent boy may have chewed through it. He is not a fan of humans unless they are tossing treats in his direction. He runs when we approach but we are working with him to help him warm up.

Moving animals around is not as easy as the movies might make it seem. For a pet dog, you can travel around town with it easily. However, the same cannot be said about transporting it to another country. With Singapore becoming a popular destination today, people are moving to the country in droves. There are those who are moving their for business purposes. Others choose to move to Singapore as their retirement destination. The country is that comfortable. The only challenge that many face is moving with their pets. It is not simple if you have no idea how to go about it. You have a pet dog and you want to ship it to Singapore? There are rules and regulations to abide by.
The first thing that you need to consider is the breed of your dog. Of course there are dogs that people avoid having as pets because they are not cute or they have some behavioral disorders. Most likely, you too have avoided those breeds. Still, you will have to check whether the breed of your dog is admissible in Singapore. Breeds of the pit bull are not allowed into Singapore. These include the likes of: Akita, bourbon, dogoargentino, filabraseleiro and several others. You can check online for a complete list of dog breeds that you cannot bring into Singapore.
Secondly, when you are importing dogs into Singapore you have to be prepared to be away from your pet for at least thirty days. Singapore has a thirty day mandatory animal quarantine. All animals that are coming into the country must be quarantined for at least a month. This is a good way to control animal diseases in the country. Animals do not talk and therefore noticing that they are sick would require you to be very keen. While in quarantine, the animals are watched closely by professionals to ensure that they are in perfect health.
You will not fly into Singapore with your pet and take it to a quarantine station then leave it there. First you have to book a slot at the station. The Semarang animal quarantine Singapore is the finest of them all. It has fantastic facilities for pets. However, in order for you to get a slot in this quarantine station, you will need to book at least two months in advance. The slots are limited and thus you cannot just show up with your pet wanting to put it in for quarantine. This is unless you have gone home with the pet and it becomes an emergency case.
Jason's Pet Relocation


For most pet owners, pets are a part of the family. And so, of course, wherever the family moves? The pet moves, too. And while moving might be a stressful process for you, it’s arguably even more stressful for your pet.
Pets respond well to structure and routine—and so the packing, moving, and settling into a new place can make them feel anxious and stressed out. But there are ways to make the process easier on your pet. A recent article on Realtor.com outlined the five mistakes to avoid when moving with your pets, including:
- Having your pet around on moving day. Moving day can be chaotic, which can stress your pet out. Make sure to board them or have them stay with a friend or family member while you’re managing the big move.
- Washing your pet’s things before the move. Familiar smells are comforting to pets—so while you might be tempted to wash their bed, toys, or blankets before you move, resist the urge. The familiar smells will help them acclimate to their new home and feel more comfortable.
- Not supervising them in their new home. When you move into a new home, you’re not totally familiar with the layout—and there could be areas where your pet could escape. As you’re settling in, make sure you keep an extra close eye on your pet.
- Changing their setup or routine. Again, most pets are creatures of habit—so when you’re moving to a new place, you don’t want to change their setup or routine too much. If they’re used to having their bed in your room, put it in the same place in your new house. If you typically walk your pet at certain times of the day, continue with that schedule. Keeping the same setup and routine will make it easier for your pet to transition to your new home.
Bottom line? Moving can be a stressful experience for everyone—including your pets. So make sure you make the moving process as easy as possible for your four-legged family member.

Azendus™ PET-SAMe supports the replenishment of S-Adenosylmethionine levels and balances the interactions of your pets liver health and detoxification.
Azendus™ PET-SAMe significantly increases the liver’s glutathione level. This is critical because glutathione is the chief antioxidant produced in the liver, also known as the “super antioxidant”. Age, stress, free radicals and environmental conditions can dramatically impact the liver’s health and accelerate the aging process. Azendus™ SAMe is converted into glutathione, thus having the therapeutic benefits for the liver to combat oxidative stress, cellular damage, free radical activity and DNA breakdown, allowing the body to detoxify.
Azendus™ PET-SAMe is formulated with pure Pharmaceutical Grade SAMe and Gentle Plant derived enteric coating materials.*
Serving Size: 1 Tablet
Servings Per container: 30
Amount per Tablet
* Percent Daily Values are based on 2,000-calorie diet.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Crospovidone, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store in a cool, dry place.
Tamper resistance blister card. Azendus™ PET-SAMe tablets should be kept in the blister card until your pet takes them. Do not use tablet, if the blister card compartment for that tablet has been tampered or compromised.
WARNING: Please consult your certified and knowledgeable healthcare practitioner before taking any dietary supplement. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if blister card is compromised.
- Supports normal healthy liver function and homocysteine levels
- SAMe’s extraordinary capacity to support and enhance liver function
- SAMe is thought to be beneficial for those with liver disease by acting as a precursor of antioxidant glutathione; repairing the mitochondrial glutathione transport system; inhibiting the toxic effects of proinflammatory cytokines; and increasing DNA methylation.
- There are nearly a thousand published studies documenting SAMe’s ability to support liver health.
- SAMe metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are substances important for liver function, including phase II detoxification.*
Pets are family members and deserve the best possible forms of nutrition and supplementation. We realize that our pets are subject to constant environmental stresses such as air, water and land pollution. The liver often has to work overtime to deal with factors such as agricultural chemicals and heavy metals(lead, arsenic and mercury) in foods, over chlorinated water in municipal waters supplies, exhaust fumes from passing cars and truck, unfortunately the list goes on and on. Many conscientious pet owners take their companions in for regular wellness exams, including organ function tests. As pet owners ourselves we are often concerned when our veterinarians alert us to changes in blood tests and liver enzyme levels, especially for aging dogs and cats. Most knowledgeable pet guardians are very aware of how important liver function is to their animal’s health, longevity, and quality of life.
Changes in liver enzyme values from one blood test to the next are actually quite common, and elevations in liver enzymes do not automatically indicate organ disease. While any abnormal value should be addressed, there are several factors to consider when reviewing test results. These include which liver values have increased, how much they have increased, and how long the elevation has persisted. This is one reason to ask your veterinarian to go over the test results with you in the exam room, or ask for a copy of the results and review them at home, adding them to your pet’s medical file so you can compare them to future test results.
There are a number of blood serum chemistry values your veterinarian uses to determine how well your dog’s or cat’s liver is functioning. The values most commonly measured include:
- ALP (alkaline phosphatase)
- ALT (alanine transaminase)
- AST (aspartate transaminase)
Elevations in Alanine Transaminase (ALT)
However, the liver has regenerative powers, so slightly higher than normal rates of cell death, or short periods of significant cell death, may be resolved by the liver’s ability to regenerate tissue. As a general rule, veterinarians consider that ALT values two to three times normal warrant further investigation, while lower elevations in a clinically normal animal can be closely monitored through regular rechecks.
Also, ALT is present in intestinal as well as liver cells, so a serious GI disease can cause mild elevations in this enzyme.
Elevations in Aspartate Transaminase (AST)
Elevations in Bilirubin
In some animals with normal liver function, a disease that causes rapid destruction of red blood cells may elevate bilirubin. While the liver may be healthy, the disease causing the death of red blood cells (including auto immune issues, heavy metal accumulation, toxins, parasites or infectious disease) needs to be immediately diagnosed and treated.
Low Levels of Albumin
Low albumin should be investigated, especially in pets that appear well nourished.
Diagnosing Liver Disease
In light of this, it’s important to never rely on a single ALT or AST value to arrive at a definitive diagnosis or prognosis. Increased ALT or AST values should be rechecked regularly, along with other markers of liver disease and liver function.
Since a definitive diagnosis of liver disease often requires a biopsy, many veterinarians faced with abnormal liver values in a pet, first try to rule out non liver-related diseases that might contribute to the abnormal values.
Abnormal liver enzymes signal there is liver damage occurring, but they are not a measure of liver function or health. The two-part blood test that measures liver function is called a Bile Acids Test, and it is the test that is recommended by veterinarians if liver enzymes continue to climb, or if the patient is symptomatic.
If all other potential conditions are eliminated, the next step is typically to do an ultrasound exam of the liver, the gallbladder, and surrounding tissues.
If your pet is seriously ill and/or other diagnostic tests return ambiguous results, unfortunately, a liver biopsy may be the only remaining option to accurately diagnose your four-legged family member’s condition, and evaluate available treatment options. Try to avoid this invasive procedure if possible, but sometimes it’s the only way to diagnose certain liver diseases.
Recheck, Recheck, Recheck
If your pet has no symptoms of disease and you opt to provide a holistic liver support protocol, rechecking liver enzymes to ensure they have returned to normal is important for your peace of mind and to identify progressive liver disease before a crisis occurs. If your pet is ill, identifying the root cause (including infectious disease, metal accumulation, degenerative, inflammatory or immune-mediated disease or a congenital/structural problem) will allow your vet to formulate the best treatment protocol as early as possible, giving your furry friend the best chance for a speedy recovery and a good quality of life.
Importance of Liver Detoxification
Age, stress, injury, and a host of other contributors can result in less-than-optimal detoxification for your pet. Sometimes the build up of toxins simply becomes too great for your pet’s body to handle.
If toxins and waste cannot be removed through normal detox processes, several problems can arise, including:
- Your pet’s body attempts to remove the excess toxins through his skin, resulting in itchy, scaly, and dry skin.
- Your pet’s body tries to shed toxins and waste through mucous membranes, leading to eye discharge, teary eyes, or a runny nose.
- Your pet’s body stores the overload of toxins to be handled later.
Toxins and unwanted waste that is not removed can remain and build up in your pet’s body and can potentially lead to less-than-optimal health.
The nutrients that assist the detoxification process can become depleted when your pet is under stress, exposing her body to even more potential damage from environmental factors.
As threatening as all this sounds, there are natural ways to support your pet’s normal detoxification processes and promote optimal health. Azendus PET SAMe is one alternative recommended by many vets.
Does my dog have liver disease?
The signs of liver disease can be very similar to those of other conditions. If you notice any of the following signs in your dog, contact your veterinarian for a complete examination. Symptoms to look out for include:
- Poor or loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin and whites of eyes)
- Increased thirst
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Changes in behavior
- Excessive drooling
- Lack of energy or depression
Other possible signs of liver disease in dogs include dark-colored urine, pale gums or a buildup of fluid in the abdomen that could be mistaken for sudden weight gain. Your veterinarian can administer tests to diagnose liver disease.
IMPORTANT: The signs of liver disease are not very specific, making it difficult to recognize. If your dog is not eating, consult your veterinarian immediately.
The importance of Azendus PET SAMe
If your dog is diagnosed, you may be wondering how to take care of your dog with liver disease. Treatment of any hepatic disease is aimed at resting the liver and minimizing those functions that have to do with metabolism of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and drugs. Controlling nutritional copper intake may benefit dog breeds predisposed to accumulate toxic levels of copper in the liver. Low-dose of 25mg zinc, such as Gluzin (www.gluzin.com) is a good natural source to block excess copper absorption.
The liver has an amazing ability to repair and regenerate itself, and therapeutic supplementation plays a vital role in this process. Azendus PET SAMe supports liver function and detoxification as the liver heals.
For accurate diagnosis and therapeutic support options, always consult your veterinarian for your pet’s liver health.
Questions to Ask Your Veterinarian on Liver Disease
- Are there any foods I should avoid giving my dog to ensure a healthy liver?
- Ask how human food can affect your dog’s health.
- Would you recommend Azendus PET SAMe for my dog’s liver health?
- Ask about special nutritional concerns for your dog
- How much / how often you should feed the recommended food to your dog
- Discuss which treats you can feed your dog with the recommended food
- How quickly should I expect to see signs of improvement in my dog’s condition?
- Can you provide me with written instructions or a handout on liver health?
- What is the best way (email/phone) to reach you or your hospital if I have questions?
- Ask if you need a follow-up appointment.
- Ask if a reminder email or notice will be sent.


If you are a dog lover, you know the truth, having a dog is like having a dirty secret. On the outside, things look completely normal, but as dog owners we know that life with a dog can be pretty unusual. However, we also know that life would be extremely dull without our beloved pets. They bring love, companionship, humor and teach us lots of lessons on how to live in the moment and enjoy life. Here is a tour of the dogs that have blessed my life.
This is G.I. Joesph, named by my brother, and my first dog. He was the sweetest thing you ever met. His tongue was too long for his mouth, and when he slept, he would stick it out which as a kid never got old. He also had the most toxic gas of all time, and my brother and I used to joke that we'd send him over to Russia to use as warfare in the 80's.
Joey also would let you do whatever you wanted like dressing him up. Joey literally knew when my bus would arrive when I was in elementary school and would be there waiting when I got off the bus at my bus stop.
Now this guy, he was a different story. This was MY first dog, Trucker (Joey was technically my brother's), and he was a bandit. Hilarious, wild, but not a snuggler by any means. These two pictures are probably the only ones of him really sitting still, notice he is being held in both shots.
He was the epitome of naughty, and I loved every bit of him. When he was happy, he smiled with teeth, and he ate everything including the Christmas ham, a car cleaning shammy, and Filet Mignon. None of these things were given to him, he got on the counter to retrieve them himself. He had a bowling ball that he'd roll himself around the driveway, and lovingly rammed it into a good friends Porsche. He wasn't afraid of much, well, except for balloons. Did I mention he loved to chase cars? Maniac!
Next on the list, was Wilbur. Now this dog had nothing but love in him. It wouldn't be the the same for us to just have a normal pet, and Willie was no exception. Wilbur got a sickness when he was a puppy, and no joke the medication curled his tail. His tail was like a frying pan waving around, knocking things off the tables. Wilbur loved you so much, he'd even lick your pants. Here is his tail looking "relaxed"
This is a painting I did of Wilbur and my Step Dad, Smitty.
Next on the scene, Bettie Jo and Clara Mae. Named after Smitty's mother and sister, these two sisters were sugar sweet and attached at the hip from day one. Betty Jo being the beautiful ditzy blonde, and Clara being the curious loyal scrappy gal.
They loved to swim so much that of course they got hots spots and had to be in the "cones of shame" together. As you can see, it didn't impact their fun.
Here's Bettie Jo dressed up for my wedding day with my niece, Evie.
Xoe was my husbands dog when we met, and boy was she unsure of me when I started coming around. Named after Zoysia grass, by my hubby with his background in Landscape Architecture. She was the smartest dog I'd ever met, and was a total ham. Here she is on our teeny coach house deck in Chicago.
A Valentine we made together for Greg.
Tolerant of her cousin who would visit and steel her bed, Xoe did her best to wedge into the tiny dog bed to get her back, which made us laugh for hours.
Because having two dogs wasn't enough for my parents, they decided to add two more to the family. Adding to the girlish names, here's Rosa Louise, and Peggy Sue. Similar to their older sisters, Rose is a beauty queen, and Peggy is little, but loyalty knows no bounds with Peg.
A typical night at my parents home.
Sadie Mae Wigglebottoms. My husband and I put our name on the waiting list for a "career changed" dog from Leader dog for the blind. We got the call that we were allowed to come and meet her, and that night got Chinese take out with this fortune: "A new friend helps you break out of an old routine". We knew then that our visit to see her would only be to bring her home. Sadie worked for 4 years as a leader dog, and frankly we're not sure how she lasted that long. Wonderful, loyal and sweet, but terrible on the leash. She was retired early because of her love for squirrels, and we were so lucky. It wasn't long before she became a member of the family.
At first we were strict about not being on the furniture, and then we had a baby.
Sadie Mae Tootsie Roll for Halloween.
Patient Sadie lets Tommy use her as a bucking bronco through one of my silly photo shoots.
"They motivate us to play, be affectionate, seek adventure, and be loyal." You can bet you might see some Leland gal fabric with some of these wonderful characters someday.

Places to Visit
Carter Dog Park (Breckenridge) - Don’t want to go on a long hike? That’s okay! Your dog can still get some exercise at the Carter Dog Park.

Breckenridge Gondola (Breckenridge) - Take a scenic gondola ride with your furry friend. It lasts eight minutes and is about 400 vertical feet above wildlife habitat and protected wetlands. You may spot wildlife--it's not unusual to see a moose. The gondola runs seasonally in the summer and winter. Click the link above for information.
Arapahoe Basin Ski & Snowboard Area - This is a fun place to hang out with your canine companion from October to early June. Dogs must be leashed, but they can still have a good time exploring new territory. On sunny days, many owners and their dogs enjoy barbecuing at an area called the “beach.” It’s where the parking lot and base of the ski area meet.
A&A Pet Supply (Frisco) - If you forgot something your pet needs or you just want to get him a delicious treat or squeaky reward for being a great traveling companion, this store has a nice selection of food, treats, toys, collars, and more.
Rivers Clothing Company (Frisco) - If you want to shop for hiking gear, casual wear, and accessories such as jewelry and shoes, stop in at the Rivers Clothing Company. And the best part is, if your dog is sociable and leashed, he doesn’t have to stay at the hotel.
For Pet's Sake Thrift Store (Breckenridge) - Bring Fido along and find great bargains for yourself. For Pet's Sake has excellent deals on clothing for the whole family, as well as jewelry, accessories, books and housewares. Best of all, the shop supports Animal Rescue of the Rockies to rescue homeless animals and place them in loving foster and adoptive homes.
Places to Eat
Carlos Miguel's Mexican Bar & Grill (Frisco) - Sit on the patio and munch on fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, or tacos while your canine companion lies under the table looking at you with hopeful eyes.
Prost (Frisco) - Right in the heart of Frisco's Main Street, you can enjoy German beer, sausages and pretzels while watching the world stroll by.
Empire Burger (Breckenridge) - This restaurant’s dog friendly patio is a great place to relax after exploring Summit County. Menu options include burgers (your four-legged friend will probably want a bite), hot dogs, fish tacos and salads.
Where to Stay
The Lodge at Breckenridge - There are plenty of dog-friendly places to stay in Summit County. The Lodge at Breckenridge is one that seems to be popular with both humans and canines. The Lodge sits on a forested cliff that gives visitors a great view and dogs a great place to explore.
Hopefully, this gets you started on planning an exciting trip to Summit County, Colorado with your best friend. Most people here are crazy about dogs, but just remember to be respectful of others. Please keep your dog on a leash in public areas and please, please, please clean up after your pet!
If you're in Frisco, feel free to stop by and see us! We always welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs at Frisco Fun & Formal.


We are able to offer medical recommendations through Telemedicine. This includes communication through phone, email, text, or video to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a patient. We are able to offer telemedicine to our patients who have a valid VCPR (veterinarian client patient relationship) established by a previous in-person physical exam within 12 months of your request. If your pet has a medical concern that may be addressed via telemedicine instead of an in-person visit, please contact us and we will triage your request appropriately.
Much like therapists, accountants, and attorneys, we will need to assess a fee to compensate the veterinarian and our team for their time in reviewing your pet’s issue and researching a solution to help your pet. We will email a bill based on the following criteria.
Telemedicine Level 1 $35: medical recommendations based on a recurrent or ongoing issue
Telemedicine Level 2 $45: medical recommendations based on a new issue
Telemedicine Level 3 $55: extensive issue requiring ongoing communications – This may be adjusted based on how much time the veterinarian needs to review the case.
A credit card number will be requested PRIOR to forwarding your concern to the veterinarian. Your card will NOT be processed until the veterinarian has sent you an invoice for your review.
If available, we ask that pictures and videos of the concern be emailed during the initial request. This will allow us to triage your request most appropriately.
Monday – Thursday 9:00am – 5:00pm
Friday 9:00am – 2:00pm
Saturday & Sunday Closed
Patients are seen by house-call appointment only. Please call or email to schedule.


Birds must be visible and able to stand in cages. Cages for birds constructed of 2” x 2”or 4” x 4” wire will not be accepted because birds could stick their heads through the cage wire & be injured.
To meet USDA requirements, wire-bottom cages are acceptable if straw or cardboard covers the bottom wire. This is a MUST as we use rollers to move the birds to the selling table. No cardboard boxes or gunny sacks!! Cages sell with the animals and birds.
Each cage must have a clean feed and water container appropriate for the size & number of birds or animals in the cage. NO flimsy plastic, paper, or Styrofoam water & feed containers. Hog ring or use a glue gun to secure the containers to the cage. It is the responsibility of the consignor to feed and water his stock daily.
Label the cage to indicate the species & number of birds/animals in it. Permit numbers (state and/or waterfowl) as well as the consignor’s state NPIP # should be written on the cage.
The appearance of your cage tells potential buyers that you properly care for your birds.
Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, and other war-room critters must be sold in a solid-bottom cage with bedding. Cages must also have a handle so that the cage can be moved without one having to put his fingers inside the cage to move it. Do not put rabbits and other gnawing animals in plastic tubs; they will chew their way to freedom!!
Incompatible animals will not be held in the same enclosure or placed near other animals that may become stressed due to their presence. Such animals must be held in a manner that ensures the safety of other animals and the public.
The cages are sold with the birds and small animals.
Day-old chicks, turkey poults, goslings, & ducklings can be consigned in hatchery-type boxes provided they are not crowded. Cut out part of the top lid & cover it with screen or very fine wire so the birds can be viewed without one’s having to remove the lid. No flimsy cardboard boxes will be accepted. Shavings, bedding, or easy liner must be placed in the bottom of the box. Label the box with the number of chicks & the variety.
Things to remember about caging, aviary birds, and warm-room critters such as hedge hogs:

Pet Dental Care
If you have a BFF – a “best furry friend,” that is – then you’ve probably noticed the trend in insurance policies for pets. Well, there’s another trend many pet care professionals would love you to adopt: daily preventive dental care for dogs and cats.
The American Pet Products Association estimated that U.S. spending on pet-related expenses topped $55.53 billion in 2013, and nearly a quarter of that amount ($14.21 billion) went toward veterinary care. Both numbers represent spending increases over 2012.
If you have pets, then you’ve probably seen a few pet store and vet bills as well. And like many pet owners, you may be responding to rising costs with a focus on prevention.
Pet dental emergencies are on the rise. Preventing pets from landing in the veterinary ER is a major focal point of National Pet Dental Health Month, which takes place in February. So there’s no better time to draw attention to proper oral care for pets.
However, as the American Veterinary Medical Association (one of the sponsors of the month-long event) reminds pet owners, “While February is National Pet Dental Health Month, dental health should be a daily habit for pet owners all year long.”
Making pet dental care a daily habit
A daily habit? When you think about it, it makes good sense. Like dental care for people, taking care of your pets’ teeth is very important, both for their dental health and for their overall health. Numerous pet health issues have been associated with poor oral health.
But how do you make dog dental care or cat dental care a daily habit? When it comes to establishing a new habit, preparation is key. With that simple but powerful principle in mind, here are some ways you can get prepared to make pet dental care part of your daily routine.
Set a regular time
To get into the habit of taking care of your pet’s teeth every day, choose a time that meets your needs. Plan your pet’s oral care at the time that will be most convenient for you.
If you have to rush off to work in the morning, set aside time in the evening. If mornings are better for you, do it then. Whatever you decide, be sure you set yourself up to succeed.
Plan to devote at least 5 minutes to your pet’s dental routine. It may also help to pick a time when your pet is normally in a more restful frame of mind, such as after a long walk or play session.
Choose a comfortable place
To help you succeed in making dental care a part of your daily routine, choose a comfortable place where you can have your pet’s full attention. If you’ve chosen a regular time, you may already have a specific place in mind. If not, think about a place where you and your pet already spend quiet time together.
If the two of you enjoy snuggling on the couch in front of the TV, that may be the ideal place for daily dental care. In the habit of spending time together on the back porch before coming in from a run? Make that the spot for your dental date each day.
The point is: tap into the good vibe you and your pet already associate with a favorite time and place to make daily dental care an enjoyable part of the time you get to spend together.
Keep it together
Finally, to keep your new habit on track, get organized. You don’t want to spend any extra time getting your supplies together or searching for something that’s missing. Avoid distractions by making a kit of everything you’ll need for your pet’s dental care regimen. Then, keep the kit in the location where it will be used.
Your pet’s daily dental care kit doesn’t have to be expensive. You can buy specialty products designed for pets, or you may use simple household items like a bit of gauze instead of a toothbrush or a paste of baking soda and water instead of toothpaste.
Just be aware that there is one thing no pet dental kit should ever contain: human toothpaste. Some ingredients can make cats and dogs sick. To stay on the safe side, never use human dental products for your pet.
Learn more about pet dental care
Just as a daily dental care routine helps to keep you and your family healthy, daily dental care can be a great first step toward protecting your pet’s health. But like oral care for humans, it’s really only a start. To learn more, talk with your veterinarian.
Ask your vet about the specific items your pet dental care kit should contain. And while you’re at it, ask about regular dental checkups, any dental warning signs you should be on the lookout for, and what oral conditions or symptoms should prompt you to call for an appointment right away.

In Depth: How to Better Know Bettas
Looking for a low maintenance pet? Where you don’t have to worry about fur balls collecting around your house? Hair filling the air? Not to mention one that doesn’t bring with it any super stinky odors and doo-doo to pick up? Then it’s about time you considered getting a brightly colored betta fish as your new best bud, don’t you think?
True they are low maintenance and all. But let’s not confuse low with no maintenance. They have a set of expectations when it comes to housing. Or what you might call optimum conditions in order for them to thrive.
From all appearances it would seem not too many know this. But betta fish can last like five years if well taken care of. On the other hand one wrong move can cost your betta its life. Not that they are super demanding or anything. Yet this is what makes owning a betta exciting. And a bit challenging. So read on to learn more about these tiny dudes with a big attitude.
Bettas are popular among fish owners because they add to the aesthetics of anyone’s tank. With their flashy fins and their gorgeous colors especially the males, there’s no reason why they’d go unnoticed.
Another reason why many people are so hooked into bettas is because of the quirkiness these bettas show. They won’t be called Siamese fighting fish for nothing. So expect that fighting and fin flaring are just two scenes of the entire act. One tank is too small for two bettas. So it’s highly recommended that males should be kept individually. By themselves. Otherwise they won’t stop fighting unless one of them finally surrenders. Female betta fish on the other hand can be kept in a sorority tank. But two females can’t stand each other either so you’d have to place 3 or more girls together.
Now if you’re considering becoming the proud owner of a gleaming betta fish with fins a flarin’ you have to be well prepared before you bring him home. Because it’s not as simple as getting a bowl, furnishing it with gravel, filling it with water, and you’re done. Setting up a betta fish tank actually requires a bit of planning. Plus some add ons to make it your fish’s dream set up.
First off you need to get a tank that’s the right size. Rule of thumb: the bigger the better. That’s right don’t chintz on the gallons involved. A five-gallon tank would be the smallest you should go for your average sized betta. You see, your goal is to provide an environment that closely resembles the betta’s natural habitat. Since bettas in the wild live in long, narrow rice paddies where they have more than enough room to swim around as they need their space.
Proper water condition is a must if you want your betta to thrive. The temperature should be within 76-83 degrees ideally. They’re tropical fish so they naturally love warm water. Which is why you want to buy your pet an aquarium heater. This will maintain the temps to keep them warm and protects them from possible extreme water temperature fluctuations which aren’t good for them.
Weekly water changes are crucial to healthy betta living. Never do 100% water change since this can put your betta into shock. Instead, only change 50% of the water once a week if you’ve got a filter installed. If none, then do it twice a week. The water should also be tested regularly keeping these levels in mind: ammonia – 0, nitrite – 0, and nitrates – under 20.
One other thing about your betta’s water. You want it to be a more neutral pH. Plus you don’t want to use water straight from the tap. The more sensible approach would be to utilize plain tap water that has been treated with water conditioner. This will get rid of the chlorine that’s good for you but bad for the fish.
Other materials you need to secure are filter to insure clean water, hiding spots such as caves and plants to make your betta feel at home and secured, artificial light to mimic a natural setting, thermometer for water temperature monitoring, and a liquid test kit so you can monitor the levels of pH, nitrates, ammonia, and nitrite in water.
Okay so on balance this really isn’t all that bad. Especially when you consider the hours of enjoyment you can get from your betta fish. But it is more than sticking them in a pint sized bowl and calling that good.
Now once you’ve set up your tank perfectly, you’re ready to add your betta to their very own water world. But your responsibility doesn’t end here. Because another aspect in betta fish ownership is betta fish care and maintenance. Oh and let’s not forget about the proper betta fish diet.
Bettas are always hungry. Yet that doesn’t mean you should give in to their whims. Instead, bettas should only be given 2-3 betta pellets twice a day. If you give more then you risk overfeeding them. And that can make your betta sick. Frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms make the ideal meal for our finny friends while betta pellets make a great snack. Now the trick is to get a little variety into their diet. Keeping in mind these pets have a reputation as being somewhat picky when it comes to what they’ll eat.
Granted you can’t take your betta fish for a walk. And you do have to know some about betta fish care to pull this off successfully. From setting up the tank to the proper care and maintenance involved. All lovingly done to insure your betta lives a happy and healthy life under your care. But just wait. It gets better. Some love their bettas so much they get bit by the betta fish breeding bug. Things can really get exciting should the breeding bug bite and you end up with baby bettas all around.


A collection of images taken during Fall internship 2017.
Week 1 – The first week was one of discovery. I had never really photographed animals before so I tried to be the least intrusive as possible.
The cats stayed in the cattery which proved to not provide the best possible photos.
Week 2 – The second week, I brought the cats into an office where we have a basket and blankets for them to lay on.
By using treats and a few toys, I was able to coax them into sitting still long enough for a decent set of photos.
Week 3 – The third week, I focused my time on one cat in particular who was very active and did not want to sit still.
No amount of treats of playing could help distract him. Fortunately, I was able to get these photos to look nice enough
to put on the adoption website for this guy, and he found a forever home shortly after.
Week 4 – Week four began my attempts at photographing dogs.
I started with this girl because she was very mellow and I knew I would possibly get a better chance.
However, she was shy around the camera and kept trying to hide under the blanket from me.
I felt like I was able to capture her happy and loving self as well as her timid side with these photos.
Week 5 – This week I continued to take photos with dogs. These two boys were much more rowdy and just wanted to play!
It took a few hours just to get a handful of usable photographs, but that was mostly because I was still learning how to adjust my settings in this type of situation.
Week 6 – This week was a busy one. I photographed both dogs and cats and assisted with a spaying and neutering clinic
that the shelter puts on with Purdue University’s veterinary program. I wasn’t able to photograph the surgeries, but the experience was quite exciting!
Week 7 – Week seven was filled with puppies!
Two litters of puppies came in and needed a lot of love, so of course I helped socialize them with people and with other dogs to aid in their potential to be adopted.
Photographing rambunctious pups was more of a challenge than I expected, but we made it work.
Week 8 – Week eight I had some more cats come in needing adoption photos.
This week I was shown how to use the website to upload the photos myself and it was fairly simple once I got the hang of it.
Week 9 – This ninth week we got a little festive with a small tree and holiday themed blankets and backgrounds.
The quality of my photos have marginally improved since week 1 and I am very thankful for this experience.
Week 10 – This week I didn’t take photos, but spent time helping get things finished for the year.
I helped socialize another set of puppies and aided two families in getting to know a pet they wanted to adopt into their home.
The end of the week came with a visit from Santa and clients could bring pets in to see him and get photos taken.
It was a good time by all who attended.

Our wonderful apartment homes at Arcadia Run are the perfect place to entertain family and friends with open floor plans, upgraded kitchens, and plenty of space. If you have chosen to move into a brand new apartment home with your pet, it can sometimes be tricky to entertain guests with Fido running around. If you’re planning on entertaining in your apartment home soon, we’ve come up with some helpful tips and ideas for entertaining with pets around!
Whether you are just having one or two friends over for dinner, or hosting a children’s playgroup, it is always a good idea to be prepared. Find out if anyone coming over has pet allergies, and see what you can do to help them be more comfortable when they arrive. If you are having children over, speak with their parents and see if anyone is scared of animals, especially larger dogs.
When you’re around your pets constantly, you may become nose blind to some of the smells that accompany them. Be sure to vacuum up any pet hair from the floors and furniture, and clean out any litter boxes for cats. Using an air freshener or odor-eliminating spray can also help to remove any pet odors in your home.
Creating a quiet and safe space for your pet is important when having a larger gathering in your apartment home. Some animals can get overwhelmed with a lot of people in the home, so for situations like this, put animals in a room furthest from the gathering. Give your pet something to keep them occupied, turn on the TV to drown out the noise, and make sure your pets have food and water available. Many pets find a crate or bed comforting, so feel free to place one in the room with the door open, giving your pet the option to use it if they so desire.
If your pet is in a separate room from the gathering, it is important that your guests know where they are kept during the party and what door not to open. There is always a possibility that a guest will want to meet your furry friend, so it is important to warn them if your dog might jump out of excitement. This information can help prevent anyone from being surprised by an unexpected reaction from your pet.
A dog should be given an appropriate but generous amount of exercise before any event in your apartment. A well-exercised dog is more likely to behave and stay calm throughout any event, so while you’re out for your daily walk, throw the ball more than usual or turn the walk into a run.
Theses five tips are just a few of the many that can help you better entertain your guests in your Arcadia Run apartment home! Implementing these tips into your party routine will ensure that everyone has a good time, especially your pets. Reduce their stress and yours just by planning ahead!


With the Fourth of July holiday quickly approaching, we wanted to share some actionable tips to help you keep your pets happy and healthy during festive firework displays. While humans love these loud and colorful booms, animals often feel stressed, startled, and confused by the noise and lights. In fact, Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane, reveals that July 5th is the busiest day for animal shelters, as “dogs and cats panic and often run away to escape the noise.”
Fourth of July: Protecting Your Pets
Here are six ways to protect your four-legged friends during Fourth of July fireworks:
Secure your pets: When dogs get scared, they tend to feel frantic and try their best to escape from their current environment. For this reason, it’s important to secure your pet in a space in your home that’s safe and comfortable. Try to find somewhere small and dark that allows them to feel like they’re hiding.
Take necessary precautions: Despite your best efforts, your pet may still panic, which often causes them to be destructive. As you prepare their space, remove anything that can become damaged or may hurt your pet if chewed or eaten. Be sure to add an extra water bowl too: Panting can cause them to become dehydrated and distracted from their usual drinking habits. Additionally, be sure to lock all possible exits, including doors, windows, and fence gates.
Double-check their collar: Each year, animal control officials report a 30 to 60 percent increase in lost pets between July 4th and July 6th. Confirm that your correct contact information is listed on their tag and that their collar is securely fastened around their neck. Also, update their microchip information and pet licenses if needed.
Use a noise machine: To prevent the loud noises of celebration from upsetting your pets, consider turning on a noise machine, calm music, or a television show. This small effort will help to drown out the firework explosions, further helping them feel safe.
Don’t stress: We all know that our furry friends respond to our own emotions. If you’re home during fireworks, give your pet extra attention to let them know that it’s okay. You can quell their fears by petting and hugging them, talking in a sweet voice, offering them a treat, and/or simply being nearby.
Seek outside help: If needed, consider using an anxiety vest or calming supplement. Discuss the various options with your vet.
At-Home Celebrations with Fireworks
Around the Fourth of July holiday, the Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) sees an increase in calls related to pets who have ingested fireworks, which contain multiple chemicals and heavy metals. If you have plans to celebrate with a light show at home, store your supplies somewhere that your pet can’t reach. Never discount your pet’s curiosity, especially with something as foreign to them as fireworks! If your dog is prone to chewing or eating on anything, hide them somewhere high and behind a closed door, like the top shelf of your pantry or in a garage cabinet. Additionally, be sure to thoroughly clean-up your yard before allowing your dog to explore again.

Animal welfare officer adopts dog that was buried alive
A dog that was found buried alive was adopted by one of the animal welfare officers who rescued him.
Border collie Jake was discovered by hikers after being left for dead under a pile of rocks in the Highlands in November last year.
They alerted the Scottish SPCA who rescued him and took him to a vet.
He had several fractures of his skull and jaw and was blind in one eye.
Scottish SPCA inspector Yvonne Sloss said: “It was truly one of the worst cases I have ever experienced.
“When I first saw Jake, I felt the shock and sadness and disbelief that someone had deliberately done this to him.
“His head was so swollen and he was in a terrible way. We didn’t think there would be a way to do it.
“He was in a coma when we got to the vet where he received emergency treatment.
“Miraculously, Jake survived the night. It wasn’t until he was transferred to our vet clinic in Glasgow that we found out how bad it was.
“Poor Jake needed a lot of care to help him recover mentally and physically.
Jake has undergone several operations to remove the damaged eye and broken teeth.
After just under six weeks of treatment around Christmas, Ms Sloss’ colleague Inspector Mark Greener, who was involved in the rescue, decided to take him home.
Mr Greener said: “When Jake came home with me he was still incredibly fragile. His fractures had not completely healed and he was unable to close his jaw.
“Jake needed specialist care and it took a while for him to recover and really heal. It took him a while to trust me, but now that he does, we’re bonded forever.
“We’re always away and Jake loves to play. I really couldn’t imagine life without him now. I am so grateful to the passersby who found Jake. Without them, he might not have survived that day.

The Griffonshire is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Brussels Griffon and the Yorkshire Terrier. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Griffonshire is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
The Griffonshire may present any combination of Yorkshire Terriers and the Brussels Griffon temperament. They can be very quiet, sweet and loving. They are occasionally playful and may have burst of energy.
They are low maintenance. Some may inherit the wiry coat of the Brussels or the smooth coat of the Yorkie. They do not shed and a brush or comb once or twice a week is all that is needed to remove dead hair. They have very little odor if any, although because they have the beard like the Brussels it tends to get dirty when they are eating and may require you to wipe down the mouth and beard area occasionally.
The coat may be a combination of the wiry Brussels and the smooth Yorkie. Occasional trips to the groomer are needed to trim the feet, face, belly and private areas.

How to Bathe a Cat
By The Dog
- Thoroughly clean the toilet.
- Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids
- Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
- In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you
may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get
any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching
out for any purchase they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample
suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually
- Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash"
and "rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.
- Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no
people between the toilet and the outside door.
- Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
- The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he
will dry himself.

A pet cat which went missing more than 11 years ago in north-east Scotland has been reunited with his owners.
Fergus disappeared from his home in Forres, Moray, in late 2010.
Fergus was then returned to his surprised owners after being identified by a microchip.
It remains a mystery as to where Fergus had been in the intervening years, but it is thought that he may have made the journey to Aberdeen in a vehicle.
"It was such a surprise to get the call that Fergus was alive," said owner Fiona Mutter.
"He was always prone to wandering and would sometimes go off for a few days at a time, but one day he just never came back. We sadly assumed something had happened to him.
"To hear that he was still alive and had ended up so far away was such a shock."
'Above and beyond'
When he returned home he was put in a spare bedroom so he could get used to being in the house, and was then introduced to the other family cat, Ozzy.
"He was soon happy to be handled and stroked, he has such a loud purr," said Fiona.
"His coat is so shiny, and he's so friendly, that there's no way he has been living outside all this time. Someone has been taking good care him.
"We are extremely grateful to the Cats Protection volunteer who went above and beyond to get Fergus home."
Alice Palombo, of Cats Protection, said: "Every day, we see how important microchipping is for cats and for the people who care for them."
