Paws for Cause

Perfectly matched

Is it a must that you have earrings to match your necklace and shoes to match your purse? It's not high on my list of prorities, but I would definitely kit out my pooch in this perfectly coordinated and eco-friendly range from Thayer and Ridge - so perfect for the Sunday morning walk in the park!

There are collars too if you don't want to use the harness coat which are lined in a faux suede for comfort. All the products in their Eco-Friendly range are stain, water, bacteria and odor resistant. The fabrics contain NO toxic chemicals, heavy metals or carcinogens and are made using re-cycled energy!

Meet Lily

This a Lily, an older Maltese who was kept for breeding and then simply abandoned by her owners when she was no longer useful. Lily was dumped requiring urgent surgery on a malignant mammary tumor and extensive dental treatment.
The good news is that Lily was taken in by the wonderful people at Victoria Adoptables and given the love and care to nurse her back to a happy, healthy dog. The Blanket Fund for Animals was able to provide a donation to help a little with her medical costs. Currently Lily is in a "foster to adopt home" with another little dog and is happy and contented.

Worthy Wednesday - Ruff necks

Feeling the chill a bit here on the west coast and loving the feeling of fresh rain makes me happy that Autumn is just around the corner. My most favourite time of the year to dress up in the best clothes and the best time to wrap up your little pet pal in these Ruff necks and plaid coats from Canadian company Mod Dog . Each garment is made from a recycled sweater or fabric with vintage buttons to finish the look. They come in all sizes and colours depending on what's available.

To make you feel extra warm on the inside, a donation is made to Lakefield Animal Welfare from the sale of each item.
