Small dog,
BIG Appetite - Happy Thanksgiving to All!
Be Thankful - And
Play It Safe
We
are doggone lucky to have a dog or cat or other loving critter in our lives. While
Thanksgiving yields good eats and great football, my wish for each and every
one of you is that you take the time to express gratitude for three things that
make you a better person. And, play
it safe with your pets during the holiday festivities. Our friends from Fetch
Pet Care offer these wise tips:
- Treat you and your dog to a walk or play time
before company arrives for the big Thanksgiving feast.
- Never feed bones (raw or cooked) to your pet
because they can splinter and cause choking.
- Skip the table scraps for your pet. Seasoned
turkey skin can cause upset tummies and onions are downright deadly to dogs and
cats.

Say the name, Dean Koontz and it is understandable if you shudder involuntarily. After all,
it is strongly advised to read many of his books with the lights on - unless
you like being spooked. But Koontz has added a new genre to his best-selling
talents: fiction, non-fiction and children books inspired by Trixie, his
beloved golden retriever, who passed away in 2007 but is far from forgotten.
In a recent interview with Arden on her Oh Behave!
show on Pet Life Radio, Dean describes dogs as "beauty without vanity" and
shares how Trixie helped him become a better writer - and a better person.
Says Dean: "I write books for a
living, but it took a dog to teach me what living was all about.Trixie changed me in many ways, not only
brightened my life and brought so much humor and beauty into each day, but made
me a better person." Happily, Dean is offering signed
copies of his three latest books that include dogs as central characters:
-
A Big Little Life: Memoir of a Joyful Dog - Dean describes the many joys and gifts
bestowed upon him by a dog named Trixie.
-
Breathless - The book centers around the lives of strangers converge around a
mystery unfolding high in the Colorado
mountains and an Irish wolfhound named Merlin.
- I, Trixie, Who is Dog - A delightful children's book about Trixie
that features charming illustrations by Janet Cleland.
To
get your paws on one of these books signed by Dean Koontz, be the first to
correctly answer this QUIZ.

'MEW'SINGS & MUTTISMS©
 Snoozing
dogs make terrible navigators. That's the only explanation for why they insist
on sleeping east-west across your bed and not north-south. No wonder you
wake up tired!
November
marks the third month in 2009 to have a Friday the 13th. That's
great news for black cats who live in Japan
and Great Britain.
If a black cat crosses your path in those countries, it is viewed as a
good luck sign.
Never
challenge your small dog to a game of poker. They are masters at bluffing
- getting lots of practice delivering tough barks to any goofy big dog who
dares to approach them. Right, Cleo?

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Nora the Piano Playing Cat
Each
newsletter, Arden
shines the spotlight on a "top dog" or "cool cat" in the pet world. This month,
we salute Nora, the famed "Meow-zart" of the feline world, and her proud pet parents, Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow. This gray tabby is drawn to the keyboard like most
cats are to catnip. Her piano playing has been viewed by more than 17 million
on YouTube and millions more on many national TV programs, including NBC-TV's
The Today Show, Larry King Live and the Oprah Winfrey Show. Her fans include
Mr. Piano Man himself, Billy Joel. Recently, Nora, a former shelter cat, was
honored by the ASPCA as Cat of the Year in New York City. That's meow-va-lous news! Be
the first to email Arden at arden@ardenmoore.com
and win an "autographed" copy of Nora's book, Nora the Piano Cat's Guide to Becoming A Good Musician (Or How to Get
Good at Anything Hard).
