Lost/Stolen Dogs!

I was adopted by a grey tabby cat a few days ago. Because of that, I posted him/her on the Olds and Area Pet Lost & Found. After looking through a lot of the postings, I learned that there are a lot of dog thieves doing a great business in the area. They cruise the streets of both urban and rural, looking for dogs they can steal. They then put them up for sale on Kijiji or something similar for hundreds of dollars! There is such a demand for dogs since COVID hit that this has become a very lucrative business! I've heard 2 first hand stories of people paying $1200 and $1800 for a mix of 4 breed puppies! Aka mutts! I'm not against mixed breeds, I've had many! But when people start selling them for absorbatent prices, there are many red flags that go up!!

So, please everyone! Please be careful with your dogs! Do not leave them alone in the yard when you are away. Be sure your gates are locked when you are home, and keep your eyes out for suspicious vehicles. What a despicable thing to be doing!!!

EMAIL IS FINALLY WORKING!

I have good news and bad news! My email is finally working and it seems like everything is getting through now. The bad news is I still have no access to emails sent in the last 6 -8 weeks. So if you have applied for a puppy, please resend your emails! Better yet, please fill out your questionnaire and send them along with your email. I have puppies available due to the mess up of my emails. I have more females than males so if you are looking for a female, now is the time to apply!

If you have already sent a deposit for a puppy, please send me an email to be sure I still have all your most recent information.

Technology is going to be the death of me!

PLEASE RE-SEND ANY PUPPY APPLICATIONS THAT WERE SENT IN THE LAST 6-8 WEEKS!

Thank you!

Get This For Your Dog For Christmas

 This is called a Flirt Pole.  It's the best thing since fetch for your dog!  Your dog will go crazy jumping and running after the rope toy while you expend a minimal amount of energy in the middle.  My kind of toy when it's the end of the day and I'm at the end of my energy allotment!  One word of caution though, if you have a dog under 18 months old, be very careful of overdoing the fun or having your dog leap into the air.  The may come down wrong and hurt their growth plates.  Just keep the toy near the ground and they will still have the best time ever!

I will get a small commission if you order through my link.

I'm so disappointed/sad/mad/frustrated!

After spending HOURS on the phone today trying to get access to my website and emails, the techs now tell me it may be impossible to retrieve all the lost emails and impossible to update my website again. And if I mess around with it too much, I could end up losing my whole website altogether! I've spent 100's and 100's of hours building that website!

There is one small chance to download and go through every single page, paragraph and photo to make sure it downloads/uploads properly. And I just don't have that kind of time right now.

This whole day has been wasted and for nothing. 😔

Tia's first Christmas!  

SIX Puppies Born Dec 6!

I'm so tired I can't see straight but the puppies have arrived! 4 girls, 2 boys! One for sure all black male! One girl is very, very small so she is receiving a lot of TLC day and night. She's otherwise healthy, just small.

Off for a quick nap!

5 Poisonous Christmas Plants

1. Pointsettas

2. Mistletoe

3. Amaryllis

4. Christmas Cactus

5. Holly/Ivy

All the above plants can be poisonous to dogs. Some not as lethal as others. But all will give Rover at a minimum, a bout of vomiting and diarrhea! Nobody wants their dog to go thru that. Especially at Christmas.

Remember to put any of these plants up high and out of harms way. And watch for leaves that may have dropped onto the floor.

Have a very Merry and Safe Christmas everyone!

Lost Emails and Puppies!

As I wrote earlier I have been having problems with my website and emails. There appear to be 3-4 weeks of emails missing. I am busy with the techs trying to recover them. If you have written and not received a reply my SINCERE APOLOGIES.

I am assured by the tech that they will be recovered soon. I will start replying to them in the order they have been dated.

As for my website, I cannot update it. All updates will be on this blog until things get sorted out.

And now some good news. Fia's five puppies are now 2 weeks old and doing well. Nova my very fat pregnant girl is ready to have her pups any day. I will start taking deposits shortly. I expect 7-8 puppies!

Stay safe everyone. And be kind to one another.
