The Walk

A couple of friends sent this my way and I wanted to share it because it is just so sweet!  Every day, at the same time, this cat waits for this dog to walk by.  When he does, she jumps down to join him!  How cute?! 

Schoolhouse Rocks!

Sometimes, a group of students will come visit me at the HSNY to learn all about what we do.  Other times, my Aunt Anne-Marie will take one of my buddies like Toby, to a classroom and talk to them about the work we do in our clinic & shelter. 

Toby and Anne-Marie recently visited one such school and I hear it was a great time!  The children even prepared all these handmade pet beds and cat sock toys for my buddies to use here!  Aren't they awesome?! 

Thank you so much to Class 302 for the thoughtful donation! 

Kiss Me, I'm Willis!

Had such fun on St. Patrick's Day! I love a parade and it's always nice to see New Yorker's get together for a celebration. I had the honor of marching alongside my fellow NYC celebrities wearing my Ralph Lauren cashmere sweater (a gift from an admirer...blush) and my leprechaun hat. Spring is tomorrow - yay!

Beer For Beasts II

I am looking forward to having a "howlin" good time next Saturday at Beer For Beasts II! Our friends at Sixpoint and Beer Advocate are having their amazing event again on March 31st. The following design was made for a limited edition t-shirt.

I may have added a small detail of my own...

STOP!

And think...before you leave your dog alone in a car, tied to a pole outside a store, or even in your own backyard. Dog thefts are on the rise, and with your attention they can be prevented. Your dog's walk should not also be an errand run. Go to the store after the walk or before - don't put your beloved pet in harms' way.

Spring Is In The Air

We've had such pretty weather here in New York City! It's so nice to open the windows to let in the fresh air. But please make sure that your window has secure window screens! Not just child safety bars, but good old-fashioned screens. So many cat buddies of mine have fallen out of windows, and sadly, a lot of them don't survive. So, Stay safe and enjoy!

Watch Where You Take Your Bath

I'm glad I was never in Westminster Dog Show - they have to take so many baths! Grrrr...But bathing is important and should be a pleasant experience, not a scary one. Before you take your pet to a groomer ask if they use drying cages. If they do, DON'T GO THERE!!! They can overheat and are very dangerous! I lost a good buddy of mine a couple of years ago because he was left alone in a drying cage. It still hurts to think about it.
