Pet-Friendly Music Video for Those Dog Days of Summer!

July 21, 2009

I’ve already blogged about the awesome dog-friendly beaches in Santa Barbara, California. But sometimes you just have to see it to believe it.

And yes – I’m a huge Weezer fan. This one in particular is like my “power song” – it’s going through my head as I’m fetching that ball that’s just out of reach over the next wave!

Enjoy! And leave me a comment and let me know how you’ve been spending your summer!

4 Million Unadopted Animals are Killed in Shelters Every Year

March 9, 2009

According to PETA, U.S. animal shelters must put to death nearly 4 million dogs and cats every year because of simple math: too many animals and not enough worthy adoptive homes.

This new pet-friendly video shows a family that learns the hard way that buying an animal from a breeder can add up to killing a homeless animal in an animal shelter.

I know people have different opinions about PETA… and I may be just a dog, but I do know that I was lucky enough to be rescued by Pet Orphans of Southern California and then adopted into a loving family – and I just wish the same for all homeless animals!

Dog Friendly Ski Resort is Truly Heavenly – Lady Brags about her Visit to the Deerfield Lodge in Lake Tahoe

Deerfield Lodge: Lady with her Humans at dog-friendly Lake Tahoe Ski Resort

My cousin Lady (the yellow lab above) just sent me pictures from her vacay in Lake Tahoe! She stayed at the Deerfield Lodge at Heavenly – where she saw snow! OH – I know I’m just a dog and I’ve gone to some cool dog-friendly places – but I’ve never seen snow… and it sounds amazing!

Anyway, Lady had a great time. When her humans were skiing, she was allowed full-roam of the hotel room – though she spent most of her time relaxing on a comfy blanket-covered leather couch! And a nice girl would come and take her for a walk while everyone was at the slopes! Lady says she didn’t mind being left alone during the day because she knew the dog walker would visit and even call her humans on their cell phone thingies if anything super important came up.

There were also the doggie amenities! Dog treats upon check in along with a coupon to the onsite doggie boutique store! Convenient doggie poop stations! Lady also got to hang out in the lobby during happy hour – which featured wine and snacks for the humans every afternoon!

All the rooms on the ground level floor were dog friendly – which was great because Lady said her bedroom door led right into the open courtyard! Many dogs were allowed to run around offleash, but I’m sure Lady stayed onleash – she’s notorious for giving chase to anything that moves!
