Anti-Bullying Assembly Success!

Crystal — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:31:22 +0000

6 am came very early Thursday, but we had a great time introducing these special dogs from The Healing Species Texas to the kids at Palm Elementary. What a delightful school full of wonderful children and caring staff. The impact these talks have on the children, with the dogs there to help them visualize how you can overcome issues like bullying, is so wonderful. It’s just another great way dog makes us better people.

Halloween – Dogs in Costumes

Crystal — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 19:04:04 +0000

Lyla and Mo tried on their Halloween costumes this morning and they handled it like champs as usual. Of course, I promptly rewarded them afterward with “Bye-Bye Time” in the car and walks as a gracious thank you for tolerating my stupid human antics.
As it turns out, Lyla makes a beautiful cow. And true to her nature, she happily accepted all the treats I gave her in return for holding still and keeping that silly cow hoodie on her head. She even smiled. Actually, I think she kind of liked it.
Mo, our Land Shark (or should we say Couch Shark), also didn’t seem to mind wearing his costume at all. I think he’s just thankful that I’m not trying to balance sunglasses on his nose this time.

New Photos Just for Fun

Just a few pictures of friends, new and old, that we’ve been meaning to post.

Latte

Doesn’t she remind you of the dog, Doug, from the movie, ‘Up?’ Ok, maybe you’d just have to know her and have seen the movie. But look at her face. Just. Look. At. Her. If joy could be contained and sold, it would be sold in increments of Latte.

Brinks & Nuni

I receive new photos and footage of Brinks and Nuni regularly and I hope it never ends. They’re always up to some new shenanigans which never cease to crack us up. They should have their own TV show. Seriously, I’d watch.

Stupid Bee Hat

Not even us, professionals of the pet care and training industry! (with bonus exclamation points!!), can resist putting cute hats on dogs. What is it about this that brings us such joy? My theory is that the hat instantly sucks the joy right out of the dog and beams it directly to our brains. Or at least that is what Mo would have us believe while he gives us his saddest Eeyore donkey face. Geez, he looks so pitiful. Ok, ok…we’ll take it off, buddy.

Imposter!

We adopted Jack when he was almost full grown, so you can imagine my shear glee when we noticed a mini Jack look-alike at PetSmart one day. It was like the puppy, Riley (aka Mini-Jack), instantly recognized Jack as one of his own and romped directly for him. Unfortunately Jack was not so amused, so when cute photo opportunity time came, this is the best we could get out of him before he walked away in disgust.

Hefty indeed.

And finally, what would a photo post be without the bonus cat? Here we have a much younger Titus literally sleeping while sitting up in a Hefty box. So zen.

Making Pet Stuff & Taking Awesome Dog Photos

Crystal — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 08:15:07 +0000

Here in the next month or so we are finally going to start selling some of the great things we’ve been creating for our pets and clients. From natural deodorizing sprays and powders, to potty bells and treats – we’ve been a busy crew! But we’ll post more on that later.

We decided we better take some fun pictures of our furry staff of models and testers if we are going to make labels that are worthy of their hard work. I’m not sure if we will use this set of photos or take more to create the label, but it sure was fun getting these shots this morning.

Looking especially cool in this shot, Mo makes those glasses work!

Mo was especially patient donning these cool shades to match his Shoo Bug! Scented Bandanna. Shot after shot, he posed and held for me as I caught all of his handsome angles.

Then Usagi got in on the action. We could not locate sunglasses small enough to fit her tiny head, but we suspect they wouldn’t have stayed on long anyway.

Lyla also deserves full credit for her best Blues Brother impersonation. And again, Usagi invited herself into the photo. Not that we mind.

This miracle shot is a framer for sure. We’re pretty proud of this one since it required 2 dogs balancing sunglasses on their faces, a hyperactive Jack sitting still, and a Chihuahua to sit (while she knew there were some treat crumbs on the ground right near her, which explains that look on her face), and all of them simultaneously looking at the camera. Amazing. The stars must have been aligned just right this morning! What a crew.
