Gift Ideas For Your Pet

cindy — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 06:19:02 +0000

We are in full Holiday mode around here. All the hustling and bustling getting ready for the upcoming holidays!!! I always like to find the most unique gifts for the fur kids that live at our house, and this year has proven to be no different:-) I love to make my own dog treats from time to time and this nifty pan that I found is perfect for just that!!! It makes 10 dog bone treats at one time in the silicone pan and the recipes are included! I’m going to have to have one of those for sure! I don’t know about you….but I have stockings that need to be full on Christmas morning and this will be perfect!

Something else that I happened to find on my great “holiday gift hunt” were these little dog bone shaped cakes! They are the perfect size for my two fur babies when we decide to have a party! Sometimes we just pretend that someone is having a birthday just to have a party:-) The other thing that’s cool about these is that they are microwavable with a candle included:-) Another perfect stocking stuffer…..for a fur kid or its’ owner!

So now you should be all set for the holidays!!! Just don’t forget to throw in a new collar, harness and leash:-)

Calming your Dog ~ Thunder and Fireworks

cindy — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:32:05 +0000

I love fireworks ~ in fact ~ we ARE the firework entertainment for our lake:-) My dogs hate it!!! My little Brassy Sue has no idea that it’s her pappa that is shooting all those fireworks!!! When it’s all over, he arrives on the scene, and she tells him everything that happened while he was gone:-))) She’s a pappa’s girl so once again……he looks like the hero! Bomber Moose is a momma’s boy and he hates it but he hangs in there with me until the end. If you have the same issues with loud noises with your dog, here is a link to check out. There are quite a few things available to try. I think I’m going to try the DAP collar ~ let me know what you tried and how it worked for you:-) http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/diseasesandconditions/a/Noise-Phobia-Tips-For-Coping.htm

Healthy Dog Treats

cindy — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:11:03 +0000

I have finally found a healthy dog treat that my dogs cannot resist. The Freeze Dried Liver Treats have been my answer to sheer “bribery”:-) There are many brands to choose from but the one that I like is Gimborn Pro-Treat Freeze Dried Treats. These treats are superior to raw products because they are less messy, require no cooking or boiling preparation, have a longer shelf life, and retain their full nutritional value. Here’s the nutritional analysis: 100% freeze dried liver – NO additives or preservatives. It doesn’t get much better than that:-) Here are some Key Benefits of Freeze Dried Treats:

• It’s been the preferred choice of trainers for over 30 years
• High in protein
• Liver treats contain no preservatives or additives
• Retains the aroma, full flavor and nutritional value of raw liver, chicken liver or beef
• No refrigeration required
• Made with 100% pure beef liver, real liver and beef
• The perfect pocket treat and ideal size for pockets or hands

So when looking for a treat that your dog can’t resist? This is it!!!! If I don’t keep these sealed tightly, my dogs can smell them and they keep begging for them!

What a fun ~ fun time we had this year trick-or-treating:-) The costumes were the best….everyone thought we were all soooo cute:-))) Kippy was a blue Blow Fish, Lily was a Banana Split, Bomber Moose was a Monkey and I, Brassy Sue, was a witch!!! On Saturday we got to go to Auntie’s Studio www.colorsplashstudio.com and pass out candy to all the kids in town. Whew!!! I’ve never seen so many kids in all my dog years!!! On Sunday we got to dress up in our costumes again ~ but THIS time WE got to be the kids:-) First stop was Grandma’s house. She always has lots of people at her house on Halloween and everybody loved our costumes!!!

We’re Mom’s Punkins

cindy — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 03:18:15 +0000

We don’t know what your yard looks like but we are having a blast playing in all the leaves:-) We’re kinda bummed that it’s too cold to go swimming, but we’re loving this cooler weather! Nothing is more fun than running thru the leaves and chasing squirrels:-) Sometimes we even find an old “chewey” that we kinda forgot about ~ and when that happens…..we just have to lay in the leaves for a bit and give it a chew:-) Mom’s got the place all decorated for fall with the punkins and everything. She’s even got the bows in our hair because she likes us to look festive! Happy Halloween!!!

Oil Spill Needs Your Pet Fur

cindy — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:25:02 +0000

Who knew that our pets’ fur could help with this environmental disaster. There are many grooming salons that have been shipping donations of pet fur to aid in creating absorbent booms to soak up and remove oil from the recent spill in the Gulf. Once fur shipments arrive in the Gulf Coast region, volunteers gather to assemble the booms and prepare for their deployment. The booms are made by stuffing donated nylon stockings with hair and fur. With this collaborative effort, up to a ton of fur a day will be shipped. This is a wonderful way for all of us pet owners to help protect our environment.

The New Photography Studio

cindy — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 16:04:26 +0000

The holidays are over and we are excited about the new studio that we renovated!!! What fun it is to watch a room totally be transformed into something new:-) The “kids” got a little paint in their hair, but they were having such a good time running around there playing and chasing each other. Kippy is such a trooper….he’s with his mom every step of the way in whatever she decides to do. He wanted to make sure that he was the first to get his photo taken in this new studio. So we took one of Kippy on the paint ladder and then we piled all the kids on the paint ladder. I have posted a link to the new studio blog here http://jamiebrokus.com/blog/2010/01/new-studio-space for you to check out and see what we’ve been up to. Let us know what you think:-)
