Buddy's Birthday

Greetings:

This month we celebrated our rescued Yorkish (more ish than Yorkie) fur child's birthday. Actually we have no idea when Buddy's birthday is but everyone needs a birthday so we decided to celebrate his birthday on the day we adopted him. Buddy is around five years old and was very excited to celebrate his birthday, or maybe he was just excited to eat his birthday cookie and open presents.

One of our members, Judith, sent me a great website about traveling with your small dog. I have never taken the fur children on a trip but have always thought it would be fun. The website is http://www.mysmalldog.com/. Lots of fun info and cute pictures.

Another member, Steve, told me about Dogster a website devoted to dogs and their owners. It is a community website where people can share information about their beloved pet, exchange ideas and share tips.

If you don't have a dog, you can always borrow one, no kidding. Many local SPCA's and Animal Shelters allow people to take the dogs for walks and even home for the weekend. So if you don't want a full time pet, borrowing one might be ideal. Check with your local shelter.
