Drinking for Stewie! (say what?!?)

Good morning, near afternoon, everyone.

Besides getting loads of Christmas cheer and some crazy food passed my way this Christmas, I also received a gift that I'm unfortunately unable to return...a massive head cold and sinus infection.

That being said, I apologize for the lateness on the blog, but hey, I'm a trooper.  Snow, nor sleet, nor immense congestion can stop the plight of Stewie, so get ready for a sweet announcement.

If you like fun, good company, and enjoying some choice spirits, you're gonna love this event.  Sound good?  What if I told you that your patronage would be aiding in our mission to help dogs in need?  Even better, right?

I'm glad we're on the same page.  Its like magic or something.

Is My Dog Sick?

Morning, everyone.  We're bearing down on Christmas and I know many people are scrambling for last minute gifts, getting their dinner menus together, and taking the next flight out of town. 

Bottom line:  everyone seems to be busy, even if you're not necessarily celebrating the holiday.  There's a rush of busy in the air.

With this kind of mode, we can very well overlook things in our immediate environment.  One such thing that we must pay close attention to, is our dog's health.

I know our furry friends do take up a good deal of our time, but sometimes if you're not paying attention, they could be trying to tell you something...like they're sick.

What am I saying?  Take a break and check out your dog.

I found an article that highlights some signs that would indicate that your dog is under the weather and I wanted to share it with you HERE.

Check it out.  Keep your eyes open.  Love each other.  Love your pooches.  Love your holiday cookies...not too much though...you still need to fit in your pants.

Happy Holidays,

Exorcising the Hum-Bug.

Hello and good morning.  I know each of us celebrate different things during this time of year, but as your Blogmaster General, I happen to celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is a holiday best enjoyed as a child, as when you get older things become more jaded and certain magics just don't appear anymore....at least not to me.

One also must note that I used to work in retail for almost 10 years and was hearing Christmas music in October. In addition, seeing the masses of people flood the stores, then more people come back bitching about the quality of their gifts takes its toll on you.  This kind of conditioning and experience can potentially make anyone into a massive Scrooge.

That being said, I'm trying my best to salvage this Christmas.  I have a new nephew celebrating it for the first time, I have a 91 year old grandmother still going strong, and I'm not working retail anymore....so I want this Christmas to be a good one.

I happened to be exploring online and came across this relevant and topical holiday article in regard to dog owner's tree preferences and some holiday safety tips.  I am a big fan of opinion polls and statistics, so I found it interesting.

I think you might, too.  CLICK HERE to check it out. 

A safe dog is generally a happy dog.

Also, yet another reminder, we have a big holiday event happening this Wed. the 22nd.  Please come down if you can.

One Stop Holiday Shop....

Morning, all.  It's Friday.  We made it.  Just a few more hours and most of us will drift into the happiness of what is the weekend, while others (our friends who work in retail, especially) have the honor of catering to a hoard of weekend shoppers looking for holiday deals.

The holidays are upon us.  A very happy Hanukkah to friends already in the midst of celebration and a shout out to any of our friends celebrating any other holidays, too.

Christmas is right around the corner and I just happened to be exploring the internet (as that's what I do when I don't want to leave the house to face the cold) and found an interesting video on youtube.com.

The video features a very interesting "shopper" who happens to have an affinity for chew toys.  It's fun and just shows how amazingly smart animals can be.  Take a look by CLICKING HERE.

For the record, we are by no way condoning theft in any way, shape, or form.  Bad dog!!! lol.
