Belated Happy Birthday Hank!!

Many Apologies to any or all of you who sent mail through the blog. It was supposed to be forwarded to another account that I check daily, and it wasn't. So Chandler & I are very sorry. We promise to check the mail account here regularly from now on. We missed posting Hank's Birthday Ppicture in the Birthday section..so today Hank gets the front page! Happy Birthday Hank, and I see liver treats in your future.

Belssings for the Animals

St Phillips Anglican Church, ( corner of Bayers Rd and Connaught) will be hosting a Blessing of the Animals at 2:oo PM, Sunday October 3rd. All are welcome, denomination and inclination are irrelevant. Please join us. All pets are welcome. ( Their owners/caretakers as well) Chandler can hardly wait..he thinks he needs a new collar for the occasion.

Hurricane Earl is coming.......

Hopefully everyone has been getting prepared to batten down the hatches. Even if Earl doesn't make landfall on our side of the province, the winds will be fierce and there is a good chance we may lose power. In that vein, the following is Chandler's checklist to stay safe;

1) Fill your car up with gas --no electricity means no working pumps

2) Have cash in your paw. Credit and debit wont work.

3) Fill the bar b q tanks

4) Get batteries for flashlights, radios etc.

5) Have candles and matches/lighter at hand

6) Clear off decks and patios of anything that can move

7) Pack a small emergency case for your 4 footed friends in case you have to evacuate your home. This should include any meds they need, 3 tins of food and dry food, treats and a large bottle of water. Emergency aid always has food for humans, but our furry buddies need to be taken care of. ( Also remember to pack 4 days of any meds you may need)

8) Have enough drinking water for 4 days per person. 1 gallon per person per day.

9)If you MUST go to the grocery store, buy canned goods only. If the power goes out you will eating everything in the fridge and freezer first anyway

10) My favorite--make sure you have wine/beer to sip as you are watching the storm!

Stay safe everyone,..and see you all after the storm!

Woof!

PS...Hank says make sure to buy a large steak, so that your fur kids have to help you eat it before it goes bad.

MouseBGone NOT !!

MouseBGone came, saw, and did NOT conquer, but the mouse is having a party!

I think we need a Plan C.

Yes, Chandler is still friends with the mouse! See pic above of MouseBGone at work .

The Great Mouse Hunt

Chandler and his Mom have an univited visitor who has NOT been minding its manners. We have a MOUSE in the HOUSE. All attempts to catch Mr. Mouse in a live trap have been unsuccessful. Mr. Mouse has taken to sitting in the middle of a room and taunting us. So, tonight we imported some help....Mr. Kayden & Mr. Justus of MouseBGone have taken up residence for a few days in the hopes that they will chase Mr. Mouse away, or at the least teach Chandler some valuable mouse handling skills. I will keep you all posted...
