Saysay

Hold a good thought for Sadie today. She has not been feeling well for the past few days. She is at the doctors office again today as they try to figure out what is going on. We miss her sweet fun energy. Hurry back sweet Saysay.

Mr Sandman

Bring me a dream. Make him the cutest that I've ever seen. That song must have been written about our Archie!

Wag for the Weekend!

The Broadway Terrace Cafe is a great place to stop for a coffee and pastry before or after a walk at the Mountain View Cemetery. The Terrace has a dog friendly area with tie downs, water bowls and biscuits. If you happen to be without dog - there is a lovely covered outdoor patio, or tables and chairs inside the cafe/gift shop. It is located next door to Village Market at 5891 Broadway Terrace.

The cemetery is such a beautiful place for a walk. There are 226 acres and leashed dogs are welcome but please, please, please pick up after your dog (we don't want to lose the privilege). The cemetery opens @ 7am and closes 1/2 before sunset. It is located at the end of Piedmont Ave. for more information go to their web site www.mountainviewcemetery.org . It's a great way to get some exercise and fresh air without the mud! Have a wonderful weekend!

Voodoo Doll

Misty is pictured above peeking out the door of the exam room - nervously awaiting Dr Taylor. Once every couple of months Misty gets acupuncture. She has an unoperable anachnoid cyst and this is what we do for her in hopes of keeping her condition at bay. Misty is a miniature schnauzer and her disposition is already a little uptight. After all, her nickname is rigamortis because she completely seizes up when she is held. Imagine my surprise to see that not only does she tolerate these needles being poked into her, she actually falls asleep during her treatment! A true testament to Dr. Taylor and her talents.

Recall of Merrick Beef Filet Squares

Be safe and keep these snacks away from your pets as the FDA issued a warning about Merrick Beef Filet Squares. If you still have the resealable package, check for a "Best By 11/19/11" date — those batches may be contaminated with Salmonella. To be on the safe side, if you're not sure when you bought the treats, and they look like this, discard and treat your pooch to something else instead.

Luckily no illnesses have been reported yet — the bacteria was caught in a routine inspection in December — but be careful when handling the treats (to discard them), remove anything else they could have contaminated, and thoroughly clean any containers, too.
