Keep your pet safe this holiday season

During the holiday season the house fills with the warm scent of baking; shiny, glittering decorations; and wrapped and ribboned gifts sure to tempt the curiosity of most pets, especially cats and dogs. As we deck the halls and feast upon treats it’s important to be aware of potential dangers to your pet.

Jack came back!

We just love hearing success stories like this one! 

"Jack went missing Feb.5 near Airdrie Middle School. He was found in Rocky View County on the morning of Sept 29th.


He had been missing for 7 months and 24 days. Miracles do happen!

Because of two people who, out of the kindness of their hearts, helped out a family they didn’t even know, a small cat came home."

Squiggles Makes it Home!

After finding a small dog without a owner today I called it over and it willing jumped onto my lap in the vehicle.
Once I got home I placed an ad on a local buy/sell group and put up posters on the mail box. All in all I had the dog in my home for 2 hours (which was a enjoyable experience to both myself and my 3 children as this dog was the sweetest thing EVER!) After the 2 hours I decided to view the SPCA website and came across the link for "PetLynx" in which I proceeded to place a posting under the found section.
 No word of a lie I had her owner on the other end within 10 min asking if I had found a dog that licks a lot?!  I giggled to myself and responded "I sure do"! He immediately arrived at my house to pick up "squiggles" the dog :)

What a rewarding feeling to see a owner reunited with there pet, Thank you Pet Lynx THIS is a wonderful tool !

A Cute Puppy Poem

"The Life of a Puppy

This morning, I woke up & kissed my dad's head.
I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed.
The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great.
Then I thought about breakfast, I hope it's not late.

Mom took me outside, we walked for a while.
This never fails to make Mama smile.
I sniffed of everything, that we did pass,
I ate something weird - it gave me gas.

I'm sure God loves me, I know that is true.
He gave me so many great things to chew.
Rugs, plants or rocks, I really don't care.
What I truly like best, is Dad's underwear.

That obedience book, was sort of yummy.
Though it didn't sit well on my poor puppy tummy.
I threw up a bit, but that was all right,
When Mom found it later, I was well out of sight.

I made streamers of T. P. while running at full speed.
Mom is pretty quick... but I was still in the lead.
I flew under the bed, and Mom flew past,
She stopped, shook her head and breathed,
"You're too fast."

Mama later phoned Daddy and said, "It was frightening!"
That afternoon, she was sure I'd pooped lightning.
She'd sat at the computer, while I chewed the cord,
She thought I was mad, but I was just bored.

When Mama had enough, couldn't take anymore,
That's when my tushy got shoved out the door.
I love it inside, but outside is best.
I laid in the cool grass, and had a good rest.

That didn't last long, there was too much to do,
Can't quite remember where I hid Daddy's shoe.
I found an old bone, and scratched at a flea,
I watched the dumb squirrels as they jumped in a tree.

I barked at the kids, when they got off the bus.
I can't figure out why this makes Mama fuss.
I barked at the neighbor, I barked at the wind.
I barked and barked, till Mom yelled, "COME IN."

The sun dipped in the west, soon Daddy would come!
I sure love my daddy, we always have fun.
I barked at my daddy, then turned on my charms,
I woo-wooed, "Hello" then jumped in his arms.

Sitting under the table, it's sooo hard to wait.
Daddy slipped me a goodie right off his plate.
I raced through the house and scattered my toys,
Ricocheted off the furniture and made lots of noise.

Mom found her purse... the one I abused.
Daddy let loose a chuckle. Mom asked "Amused??"
I cowered down low, I must be in trouble.
Dad said, "Wasn't MY boy, it must be his double!"

Mom turned off the TV, and said "Time for bed."
Dad said "Let's go boy" and patted my head.
I got in my spot, between Mom and Dad,
I thought 'bout my day and what fun I had.

Mama kicked out my bone from the covers below,
Then let loose a sigh, a sigh deep and low.
She gave me a kiss, and snuggled me tight,
And whispered so softly, 'My darling goodnight'.

Through the Fires She Will Survive!

This is a story we received from a very happy pet owner and her son after their dog, Heidi, was found after going missing in a wild fire.

"She was lost in the wild with fires out of control we looked for her for days and no sign of her. We made flyers and posted them in the area where she was lost and after 12 days of missing her and worrying I finally got a call from a lady where we left one of the posters on the board; a man working in the bush had found her! what a trooper she is to have survived in the wild, seeing as she was in the cast for two months this winter from a fall. She had traveled four kilometers! 
I want to thank all the people for the help in finding our best friend and especially the person who was nice enough to bring her to safety now she is home safe where she belong"
