Now time for some Christmas pictures!!

In other news, Pickles was to the vet, and turns out he has a luxating patella and will need surgery (over $1000). So we will be saving our pennies for that! Chloe and Rinaldo are same as usual, and VERY excited to be opening presents when Christmas time comes!

We hope everyone enjoys the holidays! The pooches will be babysat for 10 days while my boyfriend and I go to visit his family in Newfoundland.

Pei People Rescue Blog

MacBeths Grooming and Boarding Kennels RAVE!

I usually feed the dogs Orijen dog food. Having two Shar Pei means having to have a premium food ... Orijen is great food that way!

We live in Greenwood Nova Scotia, on the base.

Closest pet store? New Minas! ... which is 30 - 40 minutes away.

So we do the drive to New Minas (usually JUST for dog food) every 1 - 2 weeks for a 30 lb bag of food.

Well I started getting tired of it.

I knew for sure there were no closer pet stores. I looked on the food websites to see if they showed another location closer, but nothing.

We might be boarding one or all of the dogs for Christmas when we go to Newfoundland (how I will be able to leave them I am not sure!!!!!) so I was on MacBeths website. I saw the tab that said Pet Supplies ... oh cool.

And what do they sell? Taste of the Wild dog food!

It is a good premium food as well, same as Orijen.

So now we go for a 5 minute drive to MacBeths Grooming and Boarding Kennels to get our new food and no more half hour or more drive!

Here is the website!

Foster Kittens

I have been fostering kittens for a local rescue, www.valleyhart.com

Here are some pictures of them with the dogs.

At first the dogs were really excited about them but I was really strict with them and made sure they understood these were not toys, and now they all get along great :)

Can't say my cat Roxy is very impressed about the little additions. LOL

There were four kittens, two unfortunately didn't make it. The two left are Lydia and Levi. They already have loving homes, just waiting to get big enough to spay/neuter and get needled.

My oh my, how Rinaldo and Pickles have grown!!
