We'll be attending SuperZoo on the 19th of Sept and hope to return with some of the most interesting products around! Meanwhile, please be sure to support our advertisers and sponsors so that we can continue bringing you the best pet information and contests that you all love so much. We are adding reviews about pet products of all kinds, we're bringing on some fresh new writers and we're adding some fantastic graphics. If you haven't already subscribed, please do.

September 8 is World Rabies Day and I hope that you will take time to think about how you can contribute. This is a very important day for animal lovers. If you're interested in learning more (and I just know you are!), check out PetsWeekly World Rabies Page for all of the hard facts. There are lots of ways that you can get involved and help us rid the world of this very deadly disease. Remember Old Yeller? Yep - we could have avoided that tragedy if only we had World Rabies Day back then.

In case you haven't noticed, I've had a lot on my plate lately and I ask forgiveness from all who are seeking me out via email, phone or "stopping by" (which I despise by the way, so - call first). Things have just become slightly overwhelming and when I'm not working, writing or micro-managing, I'm hanging out with my VERY understanding hubby, energetic kids and hyperactive animals - all of whom have been incredibly supportive and loving during this crazy time.

The rest of my life, about an hour before bed, is devoted to "winding down" and this includes reading up on lots of fiction, most of which include vampire and werewolf books. I figure, if nothing else, it will give me some extra insight into the minds of our fellow wolves and bats. Keep in mind that this is coming from a person who (from birth) has had an absolutely crippling fear of vampires. Werewolves never worried me, I figured we could hang out, but vampires, well (shiver). They terrified me. That in mind, I'm really quite proud of myself for staying with these novels. The first I would recommend is a novel by Stephenie Meyers, start with Twilight (Twilight, Book 1), move through New Moon (Twilight, Book 2) and end with Eclipse (Twilight, Book 3). You won't regret it and the majority of vampires are "vegetarians." Meaning they only eat wild animals, not people. Now, I'm not really fond of them eating animals and would really prefer they would just eat evil humans, you know the animal abusers and child molesters of the world. But, I'll take this, then write the next book about that type of vampire. In fact, I already have. If you're super nice to me, subscribe to my site, order things from our advertisers - well, I may just give you all a sneak peak at the first chapter...

Okay - that's my "off-topic" note for the day! Please remember to take time to explore the site and try to support our sponsors and a. Bear with us as we transition - we promise to make it well worth your while!
