It really is all about pets!

I discovered this company just yesterday while peeking around Facebook. I'm constantly amazed and enthralled with the wonderful selection of fun pet-centric products that I can find. Just check out the flavours in these snacks for dogs. They are also super nutritious with the finest natural and organic ingredients - and you can even have your pet's photo on the label. How tasty is that!


There are also treats for humans too, so while your dog is munching on his steak and frites you can enjoy a nice bottle of California's finest - also with Fidos picture on the label. Now what a great way to celebrate the love of your best friend and prove to your friends that yes, you are crazy!
Simply upload a picture to them and then in about 3 days you will have your product. This is also available for cats too!






In 2008, A Dog's Life launched its Rescue Dog Label Series to celebrate dogs that have been rescued or are waiting to be rescued. Each package highlights the rescue dog's story and has information about the organization that saved the dog. A Dog's Life contributes 10% of proceeds from the Rescue Dog Series to rescue groups and shelters.

Take a look at A Dogs life and see the other pets who are now on the 'wall of fame' cos every pet really does deserve their 15 minutes of fame!

Worthy Wednesday

Last Wednesday I featured some great ideas for recycling old brollies and fire hoses into very nice stuff for dogs and thought that I would make this a regular feature. There are so many creative people out there doing great things for animal charities and recycling, so I thought it a good idea to showcase them under the blanket. This week is Black Baron Kingdom. These gals from Winnipeg, Canada, create this unique animal clothing that is handmade with used and vintage goods, utilizing as much of the original garment as possible. On certain items a donation is made to an animal charity.










Cats can wear them too
If you know of anyone that makes stuff to help animals, please let me know, thanks.

Rescued pets

We attended an SPCA fund-raising event at the weekend, and exchanging stories about rescued pets reminded us of when we adopted our two little poopers. So, today wanted to share with you some pics of them...cos we are so proud.

'Poppet' arrived after recovering from being found very ill and was nurtured back to health by Dee's Orphan Kitten Fund. She soon settled in and is a real live wire. Milly however, had been found very skinny with kittens and super-scared. After a long stay with Victoria Pet Adoption Society we brought her home. She sat in this little bed (her's from the shelter) in the corner of the spare room for three full months while we earned her trust with patience and kindness. She never dared to leave that corner until we were asleep, but then she would check out the house and play with her toys. Finally, one day, after hearing Poppet running around she beat her fears, left the room, and never went back! (Catherine at VPAS and Kerry at Dee's, I hope you enjoy this post and see how they've grown.)








As you can see they are just great together. Poppet had lost her mum and Milly her kittens so the match was perfect. It's so great to hear others people rescue stories so, if you have one let me know.
