Green Your Pet Care

My ZEN Garden of Mutual Harmony will not make my dogs sick!

Many of us can envision a lovely garden at this time.  Better yet, we envision our dogs running through the tulips. DID YOU KNOW TULIPS ARE NOT GOOD FOR DOGS? A dog friendly garden has to be well thought out because it can either make our dogs sick or happy depending on the choices we make. Now that I have the space in the back, …

Double up-Water is important to you and to your doggie!

It’s mighty HOT out there.  Yesterday, on my Facebook page, Nutrition-InCheck,  I dedicated my post to the consumption of water and why it is so important.  I know we hear it all of the time, but I think recently, it has really hit me just how important it is..not only for the humans in the house-hold but for our Fur-babies …

Oh where, oh where can that fur-baby-sitter be?

I like the idea of balance in my life!  I know the importance of vacations! I understand puppy parent separation anxiety! And I completely feel the need to have my fur-babies always in the hands of people we totally trust. We have never used a kennel. We just can’t! For the majority of time, we have had a pet/house-sitter who has come to our house.  It is …

A new perspective on the word “replacement”.

This year has been about me..I mean, putting me first and thinking about my health and wellness.  After losing almost 30 Ibs, I am happy to say I am feeling better and healthier in so many ways.  With losing that amount of weight, it’s true…many of my clothes no longer fit:)  Yesterday, my Co-worker said, you must be anxious and …

MIRACLES HAPPEN…WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE!

I thought that I would be writing a very sad post this morning but I am not.  Last night, we spent most of our night at the DMV emergency animal hospital after Kayla, our beloved Pug, fell or jumped off the bed and could not feel her legs.  We spent a long time talking about options with the Vet but I …

What if something happened to you? Preparing for the well-being of your pets!

My parents are getting older.  They live in New Brunswick but I think more and more about them everyday.  I do wish I was closer at times!  They have a dog, Kalua! I rescued Kalua 12 years ago and I will never forget when my Mom Molly came up to get her and I secured a trip back home by Via …

Could your housecleaning be harming your pets?

I used to love Swifters!  After-all they are fast and for those quick jobs…..what could be better?  I even love the commercials when the dirt gets picked up so easily and I can count the time I save. But at one point I realized that my  housecleaning was NOT green and could actually be dirtying my household environment and harming our pets …

They never forget and neither do we!

On Wednesday night I saw a man get hit by a car.  I was just leaving the University after  hosting a Women in Leadership Mentor meeting.  It was 8:30 and the streets were still alive with hustle and bustle but there was a peacefulness as well since it was after most classes had already finished.  I was walking to my …
