  • County Pawditor Releases Pet Tax Form
    taxform

    Your pet is certainly a dependent and contributes to your household. Therefore, the County Pawditor has just released the 2008 WK-9 tax form allowing you to identify and deduct expenses for your pet's health, food and actions. We asked Poodle Samson Thorne during his most recent stay if his mom had deducted anything this year. Samson replied, "No, all ducks seem to still be in the backyard".


    Pets have an EGGcellent Holiday!
    tethinic

    This past week, pet guests celebrated Easter and Passover in style at The Barkley. The majority of guests enjoyed their meeting with the Easter Bunny. They even got a chance to try on a set of bunny ears! On the other hand, the kosher dogs remained true to their faith by playing strictly with Chewish toys and sniffing for the Afikomen (the Beagles had an unfair advantage once again).


    Is Your Dog or Cat a Cover Pet?
    contest

    Enter your adorable dog or cat in the PetFix Northeast Ohio 2009 Cover Pet Photo Contest.

    Go Deep! Pet of the Month is a Wide Retriever!
    boston

    Boston Brennan, the son of former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Brian Brennan, is The Barkley's Pet of The Month! Boston takes after his father when it comes to catching the ball, although his pass patterns are a bit random. He loves playing with other Barkley guests and is as gentle as they come. His two recent stays and his overall loving nature have resulted in the staff naming him to this month's paw of fame!
