What you choose to feed your pet is the single most important health decision you can make for him.

So why not feed him what he would naturally choose for himself if he could? As humans, it’s important that we eat fresh, raw foods like vegetables and fruits. It’s just as important for our dogs and cats, but as carnivores, their raw food should be raw meat.

Raw foods are alive and packed with enzymes, nutrients, and antioxidants; their nutrients are more easily absorbed and digested; and they’re high in moisture so your pet is properly hydrated.

Raw feeding doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Adding some raw into your pet’s existing diet will boost their health naturally.

Come talk with us at Fido’s Market. We understand that every dog is different and we have options for every situation and every budget. We specialize in raw feeding, have the largest selection of raw foods in the area, and would be happy to help you find something that will bring added health benefits to your pet and works with your lifestyle.

Michelle Leiby Owner, Fido’s Market

Here are some of the benefits you’ll be able to see from a raw diet, but there are so many more that you can’t see.

• Shiny, soft coat • Less “allergic reactions” (itchy skin, ear infections, paw chewing) • Less digestive issues • Reduces gas • Fresh breath, clean teeth, less doggy odor • No more picky-eater syndrome

• Arthritic symptoms are reduced • Better ability to manage weight • More energy • Less poop, firmer stools • Fewer insects and parasites

BLOAT MOTHER of All EMERGENCIES

G

astric dilation and volvulus, commonly known as bloat, is one of the most serious and preventable emergencies seen by veterinarians. It occurs when the stomach becomes distended with gas and rotates to the point that gas can no longer escape the stomach. Pressure from the large stomach decreases blood flow to vital organs and the heart. This results in shock. Even with appropriate treatment, mortality rates as high as 33% have been reported.

While the exact cause of bloat is unknown, there are a variety of risk factors that can help to identify patients that are likely to develop bloat. The most common identifiable factors are size, breed, temperament, and eating habits. Large and giant breeds are the most likely to be affected. Dogs weighing 100 lbs or more have a 20% chance of developing bloat in their lifetime. Giant breeds such as Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and German Shepherds are also at high risk. Dogs with nervous or anxious personalities are also more likely to be affected. In fact, the most common time to see bloat is in a dog being boarded. This is thought to be associated with the stress of boarding. Other risk factors include large meals, rapid eating, eating from an elevated bowl, and a familial history of the disease.

Identifying dogs affected by bloat is generally very easy. They have significant abdominal distention, usually more significant than if they were pregnant. There is typically some degree of vomiting or regurgitation, and they

range from mildly to profoundly lethargic.

X-Rays of the abdomen will easily identify a bloated and rotated/torsed stomach. Once identified, treatment must be initiated immediately and usually includes IV fluids, surgery, and supportive care. Even with aggressive treatment, 10% will die in surgery, 18-20% the week after surgery, and 70% will survive to live a normal life.

What can be done to prevent this life threatening disease? This is really a situation where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The single most important preventative step is stomach tacking, also known as prophylactic gastropexy. This is a procedure where the stomach is tacked to the abdominal wall to prevent it from rotating and twisting on itself. Performed appropriately, it is virtually 100% effective in preventing gastric torsion. The best time to have this procedure performed is at the time of spay or neuter. The procedure doesn’t really add to the recovery from a traditional spay, and may prevent a potentially fatal disease. If your pet has already been spayed, and surgery is not an option, preventative steps may include feeding multiple smaller meals, adding canned food to the diet, socialization, and feeding from a bowl on the floor.

Remember, if your dog is lethargic, and suddenly looks pregnant, do not stop, do not pass go, go directly to your vet!

Dogs have about 1,700 taste buds on their tongues, while humans have about 9,000. They have over 200 million scent receptors in their noses (we have only 5 million) so it’s important that their food smells good and tastes good.

Rayne of Team SOUTHERN CHARM

There is nothing more fun than watching a dog playing. Rayne, of Team Southern Charm, can be seen having a blast at a recent dock diving event, held at Stone Mountain, Georgia, in June of 2013.

Rayne is a Lab and Malinois mix, who was adopted after an accidental breeding with a police dog in Alabama. She was born in July of 2012, and is often called “Super Puppy” by her owner. Rayne loves to compete in dock diving and disc dog competitions and is learning new sports and tricks every day. In only her first year competing, Rayne was invited to the DockDogs World Championships that were held in Iowa this past November. She competed in the Senior Big Air Division. Rayne is a part of Team Southern Charm, based out of Jefferson, Georgia. Team Southern Charm is comprised of four dogs: Willow, Jax, Rayne and Meeka, with handlers, Steve Mize and Christie Mills. Steve loves competing with his dogs.

“Their energy and love of playing never ceases to amaze me”, he says. “They continue to get better and better at every event. We love going to events and having a blast. The people and other dogs are such a great community to be around.” Rayne is such a joy with whom to work.

She loves to run, jump, and chase anything you can throw. This 18 month old mixed breed dog has such great potential. Rayne continues to amaze her handlers in everything she does and will most likely do it with that great smile on her face.

The primary reason cats scratch is to mark territory. Shredded drapes and thread bare furnishings are signs of a cat’s domain. Marks left by a cat’s scent glands,including glands in the pads of their paws,are invisible to humans but speak volumes to other cats.

For many pet parents, losing a pet is like losing a best friend, a family member, and a trusted companion all at once. When that loss occurs, many are left with grief and other emotions that can be overwhelming, not knowing what to do or say to move forward, or even what to say to others in a similar predicament. Deceased Pet Care in Atlanta, offers a free monthly Pet Loss Support Group to help those through these emotions and the grieving process.

Those of us who love our pets realize our pet is not “just a dog” or “just a cat”, but a beloved member of the family. When they come to the end of life, you feel a significant, even traumatic loss. The level of grief depends on factors such as your age and personality, the age of your pet, and the circumstances of their death.

The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief you’ll feel. If, for example, you lived alone and the pet was your only companion, coming to terms with his loss can be even harder. Or, if you were unable to afford veterinary treatment to prolong the life of your pet, you may even feel a profound sense of guilt.

One aspect that can make grieving for the loss of a pet so difficult is that pet loss is not appreciated by everyone. Friends and family may ask “What’s the big deal? It’s just a pet!” Some people assume that pet loss shouldn’t hurt as much as human loss, or that it is somehow inappropriate to grieve for a pet.

They may not understand because they don’t have a pet of their own, or

because they are unable to appreciate the companionship and love that a pet can provide. Pet Loss Support Groups decrease that sense of isolation and aloneness in addition to providing validation and support for one’s feelings. Seeking out others who have lost pets and can appreciate the magnitude of your loss, as well as learning ways of getting through the grieving process can help greatly.

Pet Loss Support Group

Deceased Pet Care’s Pet Loss Support Group is held on the first Tuesday of each month from 7:30 pm — 8:30 pm at its Chamblee Funeral Home located at 4991 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia, 30341. Come and share your story, or just listen and receive support from others who understand what it means to lose a pet. We will explore the grief process and learn ways to let go and move forward in a meaningful way that pays tribute to your beloved pet. Together we can get through the grieving process and start the recovery process.

Questions regarding the Pet Loss Support Group may be directed to Deceased Pet Care Funeral Homes at 770-457-7659, or visit our website at www.deceasedpetcare.com .

Low Cost Spay and Neuter by appointment only

eorgia Animal Project’s mis- clinic staff, and volunteers dedicated to sion is to reduce animal suffering providing high quality low-cost spay and

and confront companion-animal overpopulation through effective education programs and by offering high quality, low-cost spay and neuter directly to the public at our cost or below.

We target the root cause of animal overpopulation with a sound solution high quality, low-cost spay and neuter. We sponsor multiple clinics each week at our location in historic Ball Ground, Georgia.

The prices associated with our clinics are significantly reduced from what a veterinarian typically charges because we ask only that you pay what it actually costs us to perform the spay or neuter. Georgia Animal Project can do this because we are a 501c3 non-profit organization and we receive grants and donations to help us achieve our goals. We are a group of highly skilled veterinarians, vet techs,

neuter services in order to eliminate the need for euthanasia in shelters and rescues throughout North Georgia.

What we do is not always glamorous, and we do not always have those fuzzy stories that pull at your heart strings, but we do the hard work that helps everyone helping and caring for animals.

Please support what we do with your donation.

“The adoption of homeless companion animals, though it remains the only ethical way to add a dog or cat to your family, is just a temporary solution. Reducing the need to place these animals should be the goal of every community.”

Please support our work at www.theanimalproject.org/Support.html GAP, PO Box 689 Holly Springs, GA 30142.

Take a Bunny 101 Class Georgia House Rabbit Society 2280 Shallowford Rd Marietta 678-653-7175

Rabbits Are for Life Not Just for Easter When spring approaches, we think of flowers blooming, warm sunny days, a favorite season for all - unless you’re a rabbit.

At this time of year people are drawn into impulse purchases of darling baby bunnies. Unfortunately, baby rabbits are purchased by people with no preparations made for their long term well being. Since rabbits have a 10-12 year life expectancy, this should be a long term commitment.

Many of them end up sad and lonely, in tiny cages with little or no attention, the wrong food, no toys or exercise, and living outside. Some die from lack of proper care, many are surrendered to county shelters within a few months, and many are abandoned outside because people no longer want them when the novelty has worn off, and think they are setting the rabbit “free”.

A domestic rabbit has little or no chance of surviving on their own outside.

They lack the survival instincts of a wild rabbit. They suffer from starvation,

dehydration, parasite wounds and infection, and many are killed by cars, dogs, hawks, and wild predators. Even those fortunate enough to be caught can be so injured and sick that they don’t survive. If you have an interest in adopting a rabbit as a family pet, or if you already have a rabbit and want to learn more about house rabbits as pets, please come visit the GA HRS Rabbit Center and sign up for one of our Bunny 101 classes.

We promise you will learn things that will benefit you and your rabbit. With any pet, spay and neuter is a must! All GA HRS rabbits are spayed and neutered and checked by a vet before being available for adoption.

Don’t Shop – Adopt!

Common Sense REAL Food

About Feeding Your Dog

For years we have been told “don’t feed your dog table scraps”, leaving us to feel guilty, conflicted and maybe even questioning the logic behind a processed, unnatural and unvaried diet. We know that a varied diet of lean meats, vegetables and whole grains is good for us, so why wouldn’t it be good for our pets as well?

Common sense and some basic resource, (i.e. Chicken, Beef), and to search can help you decide for yourself avoid foods that have unidentified what is best for your dog. Table scraps “byproducts” or “meat meal”. Also note like leftover fried chicken, French fries that most commercial foods are proand donuts aren’t good for us, much cessed at a high heat, destroying many less our dogs.

Saving Toto Throughout The Wizard of Oz, we are reminded of Dorothy’s bond to Toto and her refusal to leave him behind.

The Wizard of Oz recently celebrated its 75 th Anniversary and it’s no wonder why this movie continues to connect with people. The story is full of so many memorable lines and iconic images, and, of course, an unforgettable dog named Toto.

Toto was played by “Terry,” a Cairn Terrier. Terry’s life began a long way from the Yellow Brick Road. Her original owners abandoned her, but in a twist of fate, she was left at a kennel owned by a professional dog trainer.

Before long, Terry was working in film, starring with Shirley Temple in a movie called “Bright Eyes” before landing the role in The Wizard of Oz. The movie’s theme, “There’s No Place Like Home” has resonated with

generations of viewers, and for Col. Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue (CPCRN), it’s the heart of their mission. As the largest national organization currently rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing Cairn Terriers and Cairn Terrier mixes, saving dogs like Toto is a big job. With close to 800 members all over the US and Canada, the Col. Potter team always works hard to make it happen.

Since its inception in 2001, CPCRN has rescued 3,674 dogs in need.

CPCRN’s primary goal is to match Cairns to loving families and lifelong homes, so that these Totos finally get to see what it really means to be “home. “ Stacey L. Vendetti

Essential Oils and Our Pets

W

e love our pets and want the best for them. As essential oils can help us humans, we find they are becoming popular in the pet community. Just like humans, animals become ill and suffer from numerous physical ailments. Some of these are genetic, but others are simply the result of day-to-day living and can be improved through diet and other natural solutions.

One such solution is the use of essential oils. Humans have used essential oils throughout history for various health applications. However, with the advent of modern medicine, essential oils fell out of favor. Recently, the use of oils for improving our health and wellness has exploded, with our pet also enjoying this resurgence.

Animals often eat plants because they feel the instinct to do so. Often a dog or cat will ingest plants in order to settle a stomach, promote vomiting, or just because they need the greens. Animals enjoy plants.

Fresh plants have all the nutrients of essential oils but in very small quantities. It stands to reason that our pets would benefit from essential oil use as we do.

Bonding With Our Pets, how to develop the relationship that you want.

Consider what happens if you are fearful, frustrated, or irritated when you engage with your pets. How do they respond? Are these the results you want and if so, how sustainable do you think these results will be?

Now, reconsider. How different do you believe the outcome of that interaction will be if you were engaging them with forgiveness, compassion and acceptance?

How would that feel? How differently would they feel about wanting to engage with you, to be with you, to please you?

Fundraising for Georgia Law Enforcement and First Responder K9s Our non-profit’s quest is to raise $25,000 to provide vital protective equipment to Georgia K9 Units.

Most first responder K9 Units (police, sheriff, fire, and rescue) do not have the funds to purchase protective K9 equipment.

Due to budget cuts and other economic issues 92% of all K9 units are run solely on donations. In almost all cases, the handlers must personally pay for their K9 partner’s needs which include medical, food, grooming, training, certifications, and safety equipment such as K9 bullet & stab-protective vests, K9 First Aid kits, K9 cooling vests, K9 heat alarms, etc. Most people assume that because the K9 is an officer of the agency then the K9 must therefore get all the equipment it needs to be protected and that the agency pays for all its expenses. This assumption is entirely false.

These highly trained K9s dutifully protect and serve us every day and we believe they should be protected in return.

Our purpose is to raise funds to provide the equipment they need. Because these items are highly specialized, and state-of-the-art professional equipment, these items are quite costly. Many of them are “Military Grade” to ensure the best possible quality and are proven to last for years. All K9 equipment provided

by Project Paws Alive is professionally made by licensed companies that meet all

state and federal regulations. Project Paws Alive only donates professional grade equipment certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the National Institute for Public Safety (NIPS).

Each protective bullet & stab-proof vest costs on average $1400 depending on the size of the K9 and any required agency equipment requirements, K9 field trauma kits are $350, K9 cooling vests are $200, and K9 vehicle heat alarms with full options and the “No K9 Left Behind” technology costs between $2,000- $2,500 depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

These costs are not achievable by the limited budgets of many agencies or those run on donations. This is why we need YOUR support to help provide this vital equipment.

There are over 62 agencies in Georgia alone that are currently requesting this type of equipment and the wait list grows every day.

Please consider making a tax-deductibe donation today. Your donation is an investment in your community.

About: Project Paws Alive, Inc. is a Georgia 501c3 non-profit charity that is 100% volunteer run. Project Paws Alive’s mission is to provide vital K9 equipment to law enforcement, fire, rescue and military K9s throughout the United States. Project Paws Alive relies solely on donations to provide the lifesaving equipment that agencies cannot afford. We maintain a nationwide waitlist for this equipment. To donate, volunteer, or obtain more information about Project Paws Please consider making a tax-deductibe donation today. Your donation is an investment in your community.

What is Heartworm disease?

eartworm is a disease that can affect H dogs, cats and even humans. It is caused when an infected mosquito bites the pet and injects larvae into the body.

The larvae grow inside the body, traveling into the heart, liver, lungs and blood vessels. They eventually develop into adults and the females produce babies, called microfilariae. Both the adults and babies can be detected on blood tests.

If your pet becomes infected with heartworms, it can have symptoms such as coughing, lethargy and exercise intolerance. More serious symptoms include breathing difficulties, an enlarged liver, fainting and sudden death.

There is treatment available for your pet. It involves a series of injections and is a very serious (and usually costly) treatment. Your family veterinarian can explain the protocol and its possible side effects if this should happen.

The good news is that heartworm disease is preventable. There are a variety of oral and topical preventatives available through your family veterinarian.

These medications are all researched and proven effective in the prevention of heartworms. It's best to talk with your veterinarian about which is best for you and your pet. A yearly blood test is generally required to fill this prescription medication. However, if given properly, it’s highly unlikely that your pet will develop heartworms.

Heartworm carrying mosquitoes are found in most states, but are very prevalent here in the south.

That is why it is so important for your pet to be on prevention all year round.

he Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing. They each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent his eager body begins to quiver.

Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

TOP REASONS TO USE 10 A MOBILE VET

n today’s hectic environment juggling children, pets, and time seem like a never ending project. Utilizing the services of a mobile veterinarian may be a Igreat decision.

Your appointment is scheduled around your needs.

If you have multiple pets or children, and don’t wish to load them all into a car for a trip to the clinic.

3 Your dogs happen to be WAY TOO BIG for a peaceful and comfortable car ride.

4 Your family pet tends to be terrified by a visit to the veterinarian, and would benefit from a visit in the peaceful comfort of their own home.

5 You are providing hospice care for your aging pet and are very worried about the disruption of having to take your beloved friend into a clinic.

6 Health care that is tailored to your pet’s needs and their environment.

7 There is less exposure to communicable diseases for your pet.

8 No more vomit, stool, drool, or hair all over your car.

9 Your pet will be less stressed with an at home visit from the veterinarian.

10 If your pet is less stressed by the visit to the mobile vet, then you will be too!

1 2

Regardless of the reason, House Call Veterinarians may be a valuable tool to calm your hectic life. Pricing is comparable to most local clinic and essentially all services can be provided.

ets America

The story of 8 million dogs & cats discarded by their owners each year, with only 4 million adopted, and the remaining 4 million euthanized must be told.

The mission of Green Pets America is twofold: Rescue & Education. Everyone in animal rescue agrees that we will not change our failed animal policy in America, bringing an end to our homeless animal crisis through rescue alone. Education is needed as well.

We have therefore created an additional arm to Green Pets America. The one arm

• • •

that you are aware of is Rescue. This new additional arm is Arts & Education. It is our belief that educating the public & particularly our children about the love animals have for mankind, and the mutual bond we have with one another is needed. To change the future we must reach the minds and hearts of our future animal owners…our children.

We have three primary community projects scheduled for 2014.

The GPA A&E League is creating and donating a beautiful Law Enforcement K 9 Memorial.

We are creating and donating three larger than life animal art sculptures to the Cherokee Animal Shelter for their shelter update.

We are developing a school curriculum for elementary, middle & high school kids that teaches the bond of animals alongside man through the history of the world. Green Pets America is a Partner in Education with the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, supporting our great Cherokee County Schools.

list ?!

e pet owners know that our furry friends can someW times cost us more than we expect. Be it a late night emergency vet visit or a new pair of shoes being mistaken

for a tasty treat, financial surprises are imminent. Sometimes these unexpected costs can come about when our pets are trying to protect us or protect “their turf.”

Dog bites are typically covered by most insurance policies, but the insurance industry as a whole has become more sensitive to certain breeds and their supposed likelihood of attack. Many prominent insurance companies in our area have in fact banned certain breeds from being covered and some are even refusing coverage to homeowners with these certain breeds. The impact of this to the average homeowner is that you need to be fully aware of your insurance company’s stance on dogs and the particular breeds that may not be covered should there be an instance of a dog bite. Your homeowner’s insurance

is designed to protect you from liability arising from your animal causing bodily injury or harm to another person, on your own property or otherwise. I have personally seen where a small dog bite can bring a personal injury suit exceeding $250,000. This is not the sort of unexpected surprise you would want to be liable for and then find out from your insurance company that his / her breed is excluded from coverage within your policy. Speak with your agent and make sure your beloved four legged friend is not on their “naughty list”!

SchooL is CooL

e all try to protect our dogs from frightening and negative situations, but realistically there are just too many things that can suddenly turn your sweet lovable pet into a stressed, fearful, even aggressive canine.

Stressful situations have the potential to be totally misunderstood by your pet and can lead to drastic results or even cause you to think about giving up your beloved pet.

The importance of exposing your dog to new people, every day noises, and kids, leads to dogs that tend to be friendlier and less fearful.

By regularly exposing our dogs to different kinds of people, animals and environments, we can help them gain confidence and ease.

Not only young puppies, but all dogs can interact and thrive with new challenges, experiences, and daily routines.

A visit to a dog park has the risk of provoking serious aggression if the chemistry just isn't right between strange dogs and owners with vastly different personalities and temperaments.

Going on a normal walk in your neighborhood? You may encounter an offleash dog that will head snarling straight for you and your best friend, or the new dog owner trying to control their 110 pound pup with a Flexi-retractable leash more suited for a small dog!

A popular alternative is to arrange a play date at a facility known as doggy daycare. Ask your neighbors and other dog owners who they might have used. Check the daycare's online reviews, and stop by and observe their operation. Schedule a "get-to-know-your-dog" visit and ask a lot of questions! Proof of up-to-date vaccinations are required, and follow your heart and nose to find one that meets your expectations.

The properly staffed and trained dog daycare will have experienced staff engaging your pet. They will separate pets into compatible groups if needed, all in a large, fun-filled but safe fenced-in environment. Providing an action-filled day playing, running and interacting positively with other dogs and their minders can help calm an otherwise anxious or stressed dog. Even just hanging out on a couch together watching the rain come down outside, in the company of like-minded canines, can have a positive long term effect on any dog, preferably after chasing a tennis ball or Frisbee for hours!

A well-run dog daycare can provide training or behavioral guidance, even an Agility course or wading pool to splash in.

Your pooch soon will be begging you to take him or her there more often!

The Rise of the K9 Athlete

ith the 2014 Winter Olympics this year, a lot of focus has been placed on our elite athletes. But, if you are looking for a true athlete, don’t look any farther than the fourlegged friend near your feet. It comes as no surprise to most of us just how amazing our dogs can be. What comes as a surprise is the rapid growth of canine sports events in which they can compete. No matter the size or breed of your dog, they could be part of a local competition.

Canine sports have grown tremendously over the past few years.

Some of the standard sports that There are scores of upcoming sports that have really expanded are are experiencing rapid growth Dock diving, Disc dog competitions, Agility, and Rally obedience

Barn hunting Fly-ball Weight pulling

All of these sports have grown due to the desire of the handlers of the dogs looking for ways to help their canine enjoy an active and engaging experience. Each of these sports allows varieties of canine skill levels from the true novice to the World Champion. All are welcome.

Clubs or organizations who not only hold events, but also hold practices and training for newcomers, usually sponsor local events.

You can easily search the Internet to find which local clubs or competitions are coming to your area. Pet Pages Atlanta also has an Events Calendar that lists many local events.

If you have a dog that has a lot of energy and is always ready to play, then pursuing canine sports may be an option.

They are fun for you and are also a great way to enjoy activities in which to bond with your dog.

Does Canine Cough oCCur only in pet Care faCilities?

Absolutely not! Since Canine Cough can be present anywhere, and can travel for considerable distances through the air, it can affect any dog, even ones that never leave his/her own back yard.

But, Canine Cough is more likely to occur when the concentration of dogs is greater such as at dog parks, dog shows, kennels, dog day cares, veterinarian offices and hospitals, groom shops, and pet shops. The more frequently a dog visits a public facilities, the greater the chances that he/she will build immunity to the disease.

anine Cough (often misleadingly referred to as Kennel Cough) is like the flu or cold in humans. It is an upperrespiratory disease that is most often spread through the air. The main symptom is a hacking cough, sometimes accompanied by sneezing and nasal discharge, and can last from a few days to several weeks. It does not usually develop into anything more serious.

A Stump For A Tail

Deceased Pet Care Four Locations to Serve You www.deceasedpetcare.com ���� 770.457.7659

You can’t buy loyalty, they say.

I bought it though, the other day; You can’t buy friendship, tried and true, well just the same, I bought that too. I made my bid, and on the spot, Bought love and faith and a whole job lot of happiness, so all in all the purchase price was pretty small. I bought a single trusting heart, that gave devotion from the start. If you think these things are not for sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.
