HAPPy TAILS!   meet Otto

  We want you to know about Otto Buduski! We adopted him this past winter.   He is a Shar-pei/Lab mix.  We want you to know Otto is everything and more!  The vet said he was in very good health and his attitude could not be better.  He is very happy!  He has a doggy door that he took to right away.  He has about 50 stuffed toys that he has been chewing-up.  He piles them all around him as he chews them one by one.  He sleeps in bed with us and sleeps between us!  He loves our 7 yr old, the other two Shar-pei females (his harem), and he loves, plays, and sleeps with the two cats.  We absolutely love everything about this baby!  Thanks for giving him to us.  There is know one like THE OTTO BUDUSKI!   Jackie




The Prince Chunk Foundation Provides Pet Food & Emergency Veterinary Care for those Affected by Economy
The Prince Chunk Foundation launched in June to enable pet guardians to keep their pets during times of financial crisis by providing temporary assistance such as free emergency veterinary care and free pet food to pet owners so they never have to choose between caring for themselves and caring for their pets. According to the ASPCA between 500,000 to 1 million dogs and cats in the United States are at a risk of becoming homeless in an economic downturn. 
Initially, the Prince Chunk Foundation will assist dogs and cats, but eventually will expand to other pets. The Prince Chunk Foundation will begin operating in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California.

To learn more about The Prince Chunk Foundation, including if you qualify for assistance and how to apply, click here The Prince Chunk Foundation.

  FDA's New Warning: Bones Unsafe for Dogs
The idea that it's natural for dogs to chew on bones is a popular one. However, it's a dangerous practice and can cause serious injury to your pet."Bones are unsafe no matter what their size. Here are 10 reasons why it's a bad idea to give your dog a bone:
1. Broken teeth. 2. Mouth or tongue injuries 3. Bone gets looped around your dog's lower jaw. 4. Bone gets stuck in esophagus 5. Bone gets stuck in windpipe. 6. Bone gets stuck in stomach. 7. Bone gets stuck in intestines and causes a blockage. 8. Constipation due to bone fragments. 9. Severe bleeding from the rectum. 10. Peritonitis. This nasty, difficult-to-treat bacterial infection of the abdomen is caused when bone fragments poke holes in your dog' stomach or intestines.
  Warning for Cats and Dogs
Dogs loved the way it smells. It is advertised to keep cats away from the garden. But sometimes dogs decide the mulch smells good enough to eat. Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, this product can be toxic to dogs and cats.  Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey’s and they claim that
"It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."
