The Scoop on Poop

Stepping In Dog Poop
Like most folks in NYC, I have had the distinction of stepping in dog poop. It is not pleasant, especially when you consider that this has happened to me more than once and often while I am actually picking up after my own dogs - 3 to be exact. NYC Law dictates that dog owners must pick up after their pets or risk incurring a $250 fine. Dog poop should not be picked up though, simply because there is the potential for a fine or because it is a nuisance to those who step in it.
A Taste of MrChewy.com
My
pack – Suede, Ellwood & Jake - has varying tastes and Suede, my “big mama”,
has issues with her bowels. So trying to
satisfy the varying tastes and balancing that with their needs becomes a
challenge. Additionally, none of the
pups will think twice about eating garbage off of the street but if I try and
give them treats, they will scrutinize them and in many cases will actually
shun the treats. Go figure!
MrChewy.com offered quite a wonderful selection of foods
& treats. I decided to purchase a
large bag of Diamond Naturals Senior 8+ Formula Dry Dog Food and 2 bags of Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain Free Salmon with Sweet Potato Dog Treats. I have to say I was impressed, because I
swear that I blinked only once and the shipment arrived. I actually think it was like 2 days. I was thrilled at the expedience of the
shipment especially since they clearly delivered on their promise. At this point I had nothing to complain
about. Then the next day the news hit
about a huge recall of dog foods. When I
logged on to my computer, lo and behold, MrChewy.com was literally thee first
of the many petfood retailers I have ordered from, to actually send out
detailed information on the petfood recall.
It was so detailed it was specifically about the food I had
purchased. They didn’t make me look for
the information, they simply sent it to me.
Next
time you’re ready to buy your pet any food, checkout MrChewy.com
first. It will be worth your time and
your pocket.

Driving In Cars With Dogs
| Thumper LoHudBlogs.com |
Yesterday, a beautiful Pitbull named Thumper managed to liberate himself from his owner's truck on the Tappan Zee Bridge in NY. Said owner, neglected to get a receipt for his toll so he pulled over, hopped out, left the truck door open, and Thumper went for a walk.
This story reminded me of my own experience, at the age of about 10 when my own dog, a poodle named Heidi, liberated herself from our car...while it was moving.
The Blessing Of The Animals

| St. Francis of Assisi and the Wolf |
As we enter the autumn season,
and October approaches quickly, with the changing color of the leaves and the
arrival of a slight chill in the air, my pack – Suede, Ellwood & Jake- are,
as always, part of this idealistic vision of The Fall. Suede tentatively shuffles through the fallen
leaves while Ellwood & Jake bound around, bouncing through nature’s carpet
of color, probably practicing for the winter snows to come. With the approach of October, however, also come
thoughts of my pack’s place in my spiritual life – especially given that I
believe they chose me. October 4th
is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, known for his love of all creatures big
and small.
During the weekend of October 4th
and throughout the rest of the month,
