It is in a dog’s nature to travel. Saint Christopher
is the patron saint of travelers. In artwork created in early Christian times
he was sometimes depicted with a dog’s head. Man’s best friend on the road!

With the summer months soon approaching pet parents
are getting excited for some fun in the sun with their canine companions. When
the weather gets hot you may be tempted to take a dip with your dog but before
you take the plunge make sure you know your safety rules- and know your pet.
Swimming and other water play with your dog can be a
bonding experience for you both. It can also keep both you and your dog in
shape and provide relief from the hot summer sun. Whether you go to a swimming
destination or are just swimming in the backyard pool it’s better to be safe than
sorry.

The sweet but powerful Bernese Mountain Dog- also
known as the Berner Sennenhund- is one of four Swiss mountain dogs. But the
Berner stands apart from the other Swiss canines in that it is the only one
with a long, silky and flowing coat. It also almost didn’t make it out of the
19th century alive.

If your guinea pig jumps straight up and down don’t
be alarmed- it is a move called “popcorning.” Guinea pigs only do this move
if they are really excited or happy. So next time you catch your guinea pig “popcorning”
get excited and popcorn with him!

Robust and regal, Great Danes and Mastiffs are as
tough as they look. In the middle ages these big breeds were sometimes suited
with armour and spiked collars and were brought into battle. Some even suited
up to guard supply caravans!

You’ve heard the phrase “it’s raining cats and
dogs.” This quirky, clichéd remark originated in seventeenth-century England.
During heavy rainstorms stray animals would drown and could be seen floating
down the streets making it look as though it had been “raining cats and dogs.”
Disturbing!

Glowing and gross! Cat urine glows in the dark when
a black light shines on it. If you think your cat has had an accident inside
the home, turn on that black light and find the spot!

Easter is in season and painted eggs are all the rage.
Don’t be fooled, eggs are more than just the pretty and decorative symbols of this spring holiday. Eggs are full of protein and nutrients that are great for people. But
are eggs good for pets?

Pet of the month: little Lola enjoys her playtime with her best friend
Little Lola was a stray cat who wandered into the
middle of the road one night and was rescued by a young girl who then gave that
cat to her cousin. Lola now lives in her forever home with her best friend- a
Jack Russell Terrier named Oliver. Lola loves to jump over Oliver and play with
his toys. She loves sitting by the window and waiting for her family to come
home from work. Lola is very quiet, and timid, and has never quite found her voice.
When she meows it is very quiet and soft. Her fur is a fair buff colour and very soft. She spends most of her time sitting
on the stairs waiting for pets from her people. But don’t be fooled- she loves
to bug her best friend when no one is looking and often gets caught jumping
right over him.
