I call this move ...

Half on - half off!

Hope everyone's having a great day!

Wordless Wednesday with Phoebe

Tuesday Newsday

Hi, everyone - it's me, Tucker.  And I'm deep under cover today ... see my disguise? 

I'm undercover because I'm searching far and wide to bring you all the news that's fit to howl about! So let's get to it!

First of all, I have another recall notice to share.  Bravo brand pig's ears are being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.  If you are concerned you might have some of the recalled products, you can contact Bravo at  866.922.9222

Secondly, for those of you pups who take Heartgard, you might want to have your humans check this out. 

What else?  Oh, yes ... for those kitties out there who are always looking for new foods to try, check out this link  The Purecat Company is offering a free sample of their canned foods.  This company is new to Mom, and since we're on a raw diet, we won't be sending away for it, but the ingredients look pretty good.

Recently, Mom discovered that a wonderful dog trainer she became acquainted with on Dogster a couple of years ago also had a blog!  It's called Success Just Clicks and if you're not already reading it, you should be!  Today is Day Two in a series about food ... and since proper nutrition for the fur people is something Mom is pretty insane about, she was really excited to see Tena covering this topic.

Now - the way we found out about Tena having a blog is because Kristine at RescuedInsanity.com mentioned it once.  And let's face it - we love our Shiva stories.  Speaking of which - have you heard this one?

And last but not least, and in keeping with the food theme which has only just now occurred to me, I was concerned to learn today that my good buddy Spitty has an eating disorder.  Go by and show him some love today, ok?  And tell him hi from me, too, because for some reason Spitty's is one of a few blogs that I still can't comment on right now, and I am not sure why.

And that's all for now, news hounds!  Have a great day!

50 Shelters - 50 States: Idaho

Hi, everyone!  MP here!  Hope you all have been well, and I apologize for my by-now-much-publicized lameness.  I hope we'll be able to get back on track from here on out.

In an effort to do that, I'm continuing on with the next post in the 50-50 series, coming to you today from the beautiful state of Idaho.

Meet Marty!

Marty is a darling little Chihuahua mix currently residing at the Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley.    Small in size but big on personality, Marty is good with other dogs and cats, and though shy when he first arrived at the shelter, he is adapting quickly.  Marty just wants to be someone's very special boy ... could he be yours?

This handsome guy is Mufasa ...

And honestly - he just breaks my heart.  This sweet senior kitty (fourteen years old) was surrendered to the shelter when his owners were moving.  Obviously it is not my place to judge anyone without having walked in their shoes, and I know things are very difficult out there right now for many people.  And yet - it just absolutely levels me that someone could have a cat for fourteen years and then just abandon him to such an uncertain fate. 

Yet, according to his shelter writeup, Mufasa seems to be taking things in stride, and has claimed the best bed in the cat room, is eating well, and is enjoying all the attention he is getting.  He's friendly with other cats, good with dogs, and loves attention from humans.  Is there someone out there who has room in their heart and home for this sweet senior boy?  If so, call the Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley at 208-788-4351 or email them at info@animalshelterwrv.org

Wednesday Wonderings

Hi, everybody - it's me, Tanner.  And I'm just wondering ...

Hey, Aunt K ... where are you going?  And when you come back ... will you bring me some treats?
