 Happy Holidays
|
Greetings!
A Happy Howl to all our fellow packmates!
Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the states, which means we'll all be back to the grindstone tomorrow. I'm hoping you all were able to put up your holiday lights, deck out
our home and think about the best tree (or in our case, the best and largest scratching post with pine needles) for your living room. Thanksgiving also signifies rapid arrival of "Black Friday" and the newer addition of "Cyber Monday". In short, Thanksgiving signifies that there is only 25 shopping days left and that creates a sense of panic in all living things... But, we're here to help you through the misery with lots of great gift ideas for you, your family, your friends and most importantly, your PETS!
We've been a little crazy lately, with this writer being in high demand for several articles. It never rains, but it pours... Ah, but don't let me fool you into thinking I'm in the least bit ungrateful. I love the extra work, although I could do without the long hours. For those who were unaware, I also started my MBA program, so time is at a premium and I hope you'll bear with me. With luck, all assignments will be completed before year-end and we'll enter 2008 with a new lease on life! Meanwhile, thanks for your continued patience and for continuing to read through our site while we deal with updating issues and "difficult to master" coding and uploading issues. (If anyone is interested, I really want a full-time webmaster for my Christmas present this year!) But until we can get that set up, or win the lottery, we have a couple of the lists for your perusal that your pets will love you for!
Click here to view. We have lots of fun stories and videos in today's issue, along with some great pet produt buys! And remember to check out our upcoming holiday list of "must haves for your favorite pets!" With luck, we'll have that live in a week! Meanwhile, let's get started. And remember to have a safe and happy holiday dinner! Happy Howls, Stacy

Help the Seeing Eye Dog Foundation
A
chain and padlock have shackled the gates to the Phoenix-based
training center for the Eye Dog Foundation for the Blind since early
October.
The
facility, one of only two in the nation dedicated to training German

employees walked off the job in a dispute over the management of the
non-profit agency.
