1. What pets share your life? We currently have 5 cats sharing our home. Three of the cats are rescues raging in age from 7 weeks to 6 years old named Bongo, BW and Beanie. The other two cats were adopted through the Friends for Life program who are both 15 years old-Aunt Bea and Morticia.
2. What is your pet’s most unusual habit? Our cats are indoor cats but to give them a more enriching life, we built a pen in the backyard so they could enjoy the outdoors. They enjoy basking in the sun, eating grass and laying in the catnip I have planted.
3. What’s your favorite story about participating in a Pet Care shelter dog event? Furry Skurry is a great event to attend and “dog watch”. It is great to see people interacting with their animals and enjoying them outside of their home.
4. How does your job at Pet Care make a difference? On a daily basis my job at Pet Care improves the well being of the animals in our nutritional research program by providing them the best care possible. Overall, my job improves the lives of animals around the globe because of the superb research that goes on at Pet Care.
I was messing around on AvenueK9 this week, and was reminded of a wonderful MJ video that features William Wegman-looking dogs. The post was a rememberence of MJ(as is this post), written by one of their bloggers, Michael Kuhlmann. I’m so glad I found it because I haven’t seen this video in so long! I’m embedding a version of it in this post, but I REALLY REALLY recommend going to YouTube and looking at Michael Jackson’s official channel to see a much crisper version.
God bless you Michael Jackson, and give you the peace you were denied in life.
I purchased the domain name, PetCareBev.com a while ago, and I’ve been procrastinating making this move to WordPress.
Well, I’ve jumped through all the silly technical hoops placed before me by WordPress.org and GoDaddy.com. Now it’s going to take me a few weeks to get everything put away and to get my new digs decorated.
So as you pass through, please be aware of all the packing crates, ladders, and wet paint. And don’t be surprised if it all changes several times before I truly settle in.
Terri is one of my best buddies! She makes sure I don’t put my foot in my mouth, and she has a dry humor that always makes me laugh. One of the best parts about our move south to Mason will be that I’ll be able to have lunch with Terri more often. I’m looking forward to that.
1. What pets share your life? Scout the Wonder Dog is a wonderful American Mixed Breed we rescued from a shelter.
2. What is your pet’s most unusual habit? Every day is an adventure! Scout has a thing for socks…she puts them in her mouth and lines her ‘spaces’ with them. She doesn’t eat them, she just carries them around. I have determined that it’s not my dryer….
3. What’s your favorite story about pets in the office? When I first came to Pet Care, I was unaware that Eukapatrolled the floors. I signed in at the front desk and was greeted by the most beautiful brown eyes and wettest nose I had ever expected to see! From that moment I was hooked.
4. What is your favorite part of working at Pet Care? My favorite part of working at Pet Care is the people….hands down. The ownership, accountability and passion for why we do what we do is inspiring.
Someone forwarded this site to me. It’s a very slick site–a cooporative effort between Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong Foundation and Nike, that tells the stories (through video) of people who have survived cancer: It’s About You. Fabulous site!
What captured my interest is a video of Lance Mackey (a cancer survivor) who has won the Iditarod three years in a row–most recently on March 18, 2009. His dogs appear in the video with him, and it’s very obvious that he loves them, A LOT. This is worth the 4 minutes it takes to watch.
