Introducing..."Pixie"!

This is my dog "Pixie". She is a Boston Terrier/Pug mix and is also the love of my life. "Pixie" has inspired me to be the best dog-mom a person can be. She teaches me new lessons each and every day (some good and some bad). We want to share some of those lessons with you on a weekly basis. Our goal is to provide helpful tips to you and to your pooch that will ensure your dog's longevity and happiness. Our #1 priority is to make sure that your dog is a happy , healthy, and friendly dog in an even happier and healthier home atmosphere!

As the Temperature Rises...

This summer has already been a HOT one! Make sure that you are taking the steps to make your dog comfortable during the hot "dog days" of summer. Make sure that your dog has the following items available for him/her for summer survival...

• Fresh water is necessary, and needs to be changed at least twice daily
• Make sure that there is shade available for FIDO if he/she is outside
• Since exercise is necessary in each and every day of your dog's life, make sure that you are exercising your dog in the morning before the day heats up, and at night when the night cools down.
• Never leave your dog in the car even if the windows are down in the "dog days" of summer!

Do you have other "beat the heat" tips? Share them with me and I will post them!
