PHOTOS FROM PROUD PET PARENTS
|
"Hi! My little sweet dog's name is Tommy. We live in South America, Brasil, Sao Paulo.
I got him when 2 boys were going to kill him. He was very miserable, skinny, bones and skin. His
weight was 450 grams. Now after 4 years with me, he is very nice, shiny fur, 2.2 pounds.
He is old, the vet told me he might be 14 years, but he is very clever .
Hope you like this picture. All my best."

"This is Candy our Wheaten Terrier trying to see who or what is going
by the house that she needs to protect us from."

"The first photo is a picture of my 3 year old Great Dane, Teddy.
He was born deaf and travels all over with me. Thanks to your site,
he has had some wonderful trips and met some lovely people."
Photo #2 is a picture of my Great Dane, Miss Annie. She
was also born deaf almost 7 years ago, but that has not slowed her
down one little bit.
Photo #3 is of our oldest and very first Great Dane, Miss Olyvia.
She was born deaf and blind in her left eye and is now 10 years old.
She has such a zest for life, chasing after all the younguns around
here, keeping them all in line.
Photo #4 is Miss Gemma. She is a rescue and our very
first hearing Great Dane. She is very amusing and is learning
that life is good. She is a favourite at the dog park and is
a wonderful addition to our family and proof that we just are
no good at fostering dogs... we cannot let them go. :)"
- Lin G. from Oshawa, Ontario

Featured Article: PET SAFETY TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
|
The holidays are a time for friends, family, and loved
ones - pets included! The noise and bustle of the holidays,
however, can be confusing to pets. To help keep your pets
safe and happy this holiday season:
Keep holiday decorations and plants out of harm's way.
Poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly, for example, are
poisonous to dogs and cats. Keep them out of reach or
consider using imitations.

Featured Pet Story: A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS
- By Lisa Braxton
|
"Where'd the cookies go? They were here a minute ago!"
my sister Sylvia shouted from the living room. It was
Christmas Eve and she was crouched under the artificial
tree, staring at an empty dish resting on the tree skirt.
A few crumbs were visible, but otherwise, there was
little trace of what had been there. Only a short while
earlier, our mother had set a dish of crunchy oatmeal
raisin cookies under the tree. She had made them for
Santa Claus. But someone had gotten to the treats before
Ol' Saint Nick had a chance to shimmy down the chimney...
