Dog.... Man's Best Friend

We have introduced a new product, Cool Dog, into our store on request from a faithful customer. Cool dog is a Florida based company that produces the Holistic Joint Remedy for both cats and dogs.
Being skeptical of new products we decided to try Cool Dog Joint remedy on our 13 year old Brussels Griffon, Pekachu (named by our grand daughter). Over the past year Linda and I noticed she has been slowing down lately and having trouble getting up steps. We thought it was old age catching up with her. During the past few months she seemed to be getting worse and we had to carry her down the two small steps to our backyard. When we were told about Cool Dog we decided to give it a try. Within 2 weeks she started coming in from outside on her own—usually she would bark until someone came out to get her. Needless to say, we were ecstatic. She is interacting with our other dogs and chasing toys, again.
In retrospect we are a sad that we wrote-off her behavior as old age. Our last Brussels, Chula, lived 18 wonderful years. Pekachu now acts like she will live at least that long.
There is nothing better than a customer’s recommendation, especially when it adds that much joy of to a pet’s life. There are two things we love about this product—it is American Made, and it works.
Cool Dog is a Holistic Joint Formula. It comes in a handy 8 oz travel size and an economy 32 oz size that easily mixes in your dog’s food.

This is such a great picture of an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey I had to post it. Mike bought the fish from us about 5 months ago. It was 2" long at the time of purchase and is now about 6-7 inches. Great job Mike. It looks like he is well fed and a happy camper. Thanks for sharing.

The Duke Univerity study suggests that we are on the right track and there has been a 10.2% increase in the population over the past 30 years. The full article can be read HERE

I've made a lot of New Year resolutions that didn't get past the first week. I'd like to post more blogs, for instance, but I probably won't . One thing I would like to have is more humor in my life. Nothing cures like a good laugh. I hope your New Year is filled with good cheer, health, and happiness.
A couple of dog owners are arguing about whose pet is smarter.
"My dog is so smart," says the first owner, "that every morning he waits for the paperboy to come around. He tips the kid and then brings the newspaper to me, along with my morning coffee."
"I know," says the second owner.
"How do you know?"
"My dog told me."

Hi Tippy Toes,
You pose an interesting question: How do you train a pet to not use a specific outdoor area to do their business?
Changing patterns and behaviors can take up to two weeks, but it sounds like your job of training is partially done—your pet knows to go outside.
Discouraging him/her from using people traveled areas may be a challenge, but there are products that can help you along. Four Paws makes an excellent dog and cat repellent, aptly named “Keep Off”. It’s designed to discourage your dog from using forbidden areas. It’s an easy to apply granular product and comes with a shaker top. The product needs to be applied daily until the behavior is modified. Be sure to pick up any waste, and water the grass well prior to application.
During this retraining process you should walk your dog to the desired location after every meal. Be sure to reward good behavior with treats and praise, while closely monitoring his habits for a few days. Punishment doesn’t work well, so if there are any accidents discretely clean up and rinse ground area thoroughly, and then re-apply “Keep Off”.
Thanks for your input Tippy,
Alpha Dog
