Red Cross Pet First Aid

American Red Cross and Pawtropolis are teaming up to provide a four-hour seminar on pet first aid. The seminar will provide crucial information that could potentially save your dog's life one day! You will also become officially certified in Pet First Aid at the end of the seminar. The seminar is on the expensive side, but you cannot put a price tag on the comfort of knowing that you can save your four-legged companion's life. There are only a few spots still available so sign-up today!

Here are some more of the details:
Date: Saturday, December 8
Location: Pawtropolis University (located in Athens, GA)
Time: 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Cost: $40.00 (pre-registration is required)
Phone number: (706) 227-7887 (I assume that you call and register)

There is nothing like a good lickin'

My dad forwarded a link to me today and it is simply too cute not to share it with everyone! Click here if your computer monitor needs a good cleaning! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Another "dog-tastic" event!

Hipbone Pet (the new pet boutique in Midtown that I just blogged about) is hosting a holiday party for the Piedmont Park dog park on Saturday, December 1 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. You can get a holiday picture taken of you and your dog by a professional photographer. Great prizes such as dog training lessons and natural treats from Dogstar bakery will be raffled off throughout the day. All of the proceeds go to benefit the Piedmont Park dog park. Not only is this holiday party great for Georgia dog lovers because you can bring your dog, but it also benefits one of Atlanta's most cherished dog friendly places!

And the winner is...

Congratulations to Purina for winning the most preferred brand of dog food quiz on my blog. Second place was a tie between IAMS and another brand of dog food that I did not list with 26%. What other dog food do my fellow Georgia dog lovers prefer? I personally prefer Beneful's Healthy Radiance. I honestly believe that the dog food has helped both of my dog's coats.

Thank you to everyone who participated and voted. Stay tuned because I will post a new quiz shortly.

Three is a crowd

So this is Sampson, a four year old lab mix that will be coming to live with Joe, Jack, Lilly and I for quite some time. Sampson's owner, Jimmy, is a good friend of ours and he is temporarily living back at his parent's house so he can save up money to put a down payment on a house. Unfortunately, Jimmy parent's are not big fans of Sampson to say the least. They actually called Jimmy the other day to break the horrible news that Sampson is no longer welcome at their house.

I have watched Sampson before while Jimmy was out of town on business, but two bigs and one small dog sure is a crowd in just one house. Since we do have a dog-friendly house with a fenced in backyard, I told Jimmy that Samspon can come live with us until he finds a place of his own. Samspon is a well behaved dog, but a big problem that I have is that he constantly barks at our neighbors when they are outside. I cannot always keep him inside because it gets too hectic, but I do not want to be a disturbance to our neighbors. I could never give up my two dogs and I don't expect a good friend to give up his own either. I know how much Sampson means to Jimmy so we will just have to make it work. I will have to start reading the three dogs blog to find out what life is like with three dogs! Wish me luck!

Do any of my fellow Georgia dog lovers have any advice??

Paws for Cocktails

On Thursday, November 29 from 5:30 until 10:30 p.m., the Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption is hosting their 6th annual Paws for Cocktails at Park Tavern in Atlanta. The price of the event is $15.00, but that includes food, one free drink, a pet psychic, a raffle, a live and silent auction, and a $25.00 gift certificate to Golfsmith. All of the proceeds from the live and silent auctions will go to Atlanta Pet Rescue.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe you can bring your dog to this event, but it sure is a dog friendly cause! So all of you Georgia dog lovers out there should go to this awesome event and support your love of dogs!
