Pet Parents…Ten Commandments to Follow

November 15th, 2007

I.  My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me…Remember that BEFORE you get me.
II. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
III. Place your trust in me. It is crucial to my well-being. 
IV. Don’t be angry with me for long, & please don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, entertainment & friends…I only have YOU.
V. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice.
VI. Be aware that however you treat me…I’ll never forget.
VII. Please don’t hit me. I can’t hit back, but I can bite & scratch and I really don’t want to do that.
VIII. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right foods or I’ve been out in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
IX. Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old one day.
X. Go with me on that difficult journey. NEVER say, “I can’t bear to watch, or let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me when YOU are there…Remember, I LOVE YOU!!

October 22nd, 2007

Here’s a reminder to anyone planning to travel for the holidays…make those boarding reservations for “Spot” now! If you snooze…”Spot” will lose. Your pet doesn’t want to spend the holidays in a little, cramped, crowded, noisy kennel. Staying in a crate with several walks on a leash per day is no way to spend the holiday season. You’ll feel guilty and your pet will be miserable.
