Can you believe it's almost 2009!!!!

Hello all my furr guardians, how did this week treat you? I'm tired as usual, but wanted to put up a quick blog...well, it may be a not so quick blog, but let's see how it goes.

I am so excited that I finally bought a little HD camcorder! It's really cool, it's called a Flip Video...not that it's high tech, or has fabulous resolution, but it's smaller than my Blackberry and fits in my purse and that's what counts to me! I have been having fun taking videos of my daily adventures and took this cute quickie of the beautiful Muddy-Pie. Muddy-Pie is SUCH a funny girl, and I have SO much fun playing with her. She does this funny "hopping" thing which makes me roll on the floor laughing. I took this little video of her and I playing with her feather toy. She goes NUTS for her feather toy and will play with it non-stop as long as your willing to indulge her...which of course I am. If you would like to see her play just click on this link.

I always love to donate or help people during the holiday season, and because of this I have decided to donate $1.00 from each of our bookings during the month of December to our friends at 13th Street Cat Rescue. I want you all to know that this is not only a donation on our part, but on the part of all of you who booked in December. With the economy in dyer straights, non-profits are feeling the pinch BIG TIME. This wont be a huge donation, but hopefully it will help the homeless kitties, (and sometimes doggies) in their care. If you would like to make a personal donation, you can visit their website www.13thstcats.org If you cannot donate money, they are always looking for blankets, cat food, and litter.

You know how I'm always looking for fun pet gift ideas, well I found a couple that I thought were kind of cool! The first is 1 Cute Pooch, and they can create personalized photo ID tags featuring your pet!!!! Such a cute idea! They have a bunch of fun and crazy designs and a bunch of other fun gift ideas. www.1cutepooch.com

The next one is for all you football fans out there. A company called Gulf Coast Products has a line of football pet food bowls, and they are really cute! You can choose from a number of pre-designed colors or you can customize the bowl in your favorite team colors. Now, if they only had a hockey puck I would be happy. www.gulfcoastproducts.com

If you're looking for an actual store that you can visit don't forget to pop by our friends Gussied Up Dog Boutique in Willow Glen. Their site isn't complete just yet, but you can get their address and phone number at www.gussiedupdog.com They have SO many fun items that you can buy for your furr kids, (yep even some cat stuff) ranging from tons of fun outfits to gourmet doggy treats.

I'm always interested in finding new fun furr kid gift ideas, so if any of you know of a cool idea please e-mail them to me and I will post them on my blog.

We have been really lucky to have some really fabulous weather over the past couple of months, but here comes the DOOM AND GLOOM. It is really important to keep not only your furr kids warm and toasty, but also your green kids...yep, your plants. We have a wonderful little information sheet called "Cold Weather Hints for Pet Owners" which I would be happy to send to you if you just shoot me an e-mail and request a copy.

I guess that's it for now...okay, okay, not really a quick blog, but once I start it's hard for me to stop! Just a reminder to visit our tree at Christmas in the Park and try to find your furr kid(s). Give your furr kid(s) a big hug and kiss from their nannies, and have a wonderful weekend, (stay warm!!!).

Until next time.....
