What’s Really in Your Pet’s Food and Why You Need to Know

Dear Readers,
My Mom wrote this for her Toastmasters speech. I hope you enjoy it. –Jerry

It’s estimated that thousands of cats and dogs died from the recent outbreak of contaminated pet food. How could so many animal lovers let this happen to their beloved pets? The sad truth is, they just didn’t know any better. Until my own dog got sick from a diet of cheap food, I didn’t know either.

Like most people, at one time I put a lot of faith in the big brand pet foods. I believed the claims about how nutritious their food would be for my dog. In the first years of Jerry Dog’s life, I chose his food by buying whatever seemed better than the generic bulk stuff at Winco. Jerry ate it up, and grew into what I thought was a healthy adult dog. But when he got to be about 5, his teeth started yellowing, and his skin turned flaky. Then he started having seizures. After some expensive trips to his vet, I started doing my own research. All I had to do was Google “commercial pet food ingredients.” What I found, horrified me, and it should scare you too.

My New “Routine”

Used to be that my daily walks were the same ol’ same ol’. We’d walk up past the beauty college, where I’d try to sniff the latest muck on the street. Then I’d hop a little more, say hi to my neighborhood pals, turn around the corner and come back. Same thing every day. But … Read more

Camping’s Hard Work!

Woof! I’m so tired! My best pal in the whole world, Winston, came to see me at Lake Francis Resort this weekend. I was sooo surprised that he came all the way from Oakland just for me! Man, we had a great time. That kid really wears me out though. I’ll be snoozin for days!

What fun we’re having!

Boy… or girls, rather … I’ve got some catching up to do with these blog posts! But I couldn’t wait to share this one with you… I met these beautiful young ladies at Lake Francis near Dobbins, CA. They were enjoying Father’s day weekend with their folks in a site next to ours. They were … Read more

Bye Bye Zeus… Hello world!

Jerry and ZeusI’m gonna miss my friend Zeus… My people and I are finally leaving town, and off on our way with this crazy new adventure! I knew we’d be leaving soon when all the strangers came and took all the boxes and furniture out of our big old house. I got so excited I ran through all the rooms barking and tossing my toys.

We just had to have Zeus over one more time this morning to say goodbye. We gave him a few of my favorite toys, some treats, and his favorite Tug and Toss Jolly Ball of mine that he quickly proceeded to eat.

We’ll post a new movie soon so you can see how high that crazy big dog can jump! As you can see, we could barely stand still for a photo. We had fun as usual… you can see movies of our previous play dates on my videos page.
