You’ve heard the phrase “it’s raining cats and
dogs.” This quirky, clichéd remark originated in seventeenth-century England.
During heavy rainstorms stray animals would drown and could be seen floating
down the streets making it look as though it had been “raining cats and dogs.”
Disturbing!
Dog fact
According to the Guinness
Book of World Records, the dog who lived the longest life was Bluey, an
Australian Cattle Dog that lived to be 29 years old.

Easter is in season and painted eggs are all the rage.
Don’t be fooled, eggs are more than just the pretty and decorative symbols of this spring holiday. Eggs are full of protein and nutrients that are great for people. But
are eggs good for pets?
Dogs get cheeky: these adorable toys have junk in the trunk!
No need to call animal control- this is a bum that
your dog can sink its teeth into without worrying about the consequences.
Romp! Silly
Bums are adorable stuffed teasers and are great for dogs of all sizes.
These toys will even entertain dog owners. Go ahead and say it. “My dog has
some junk in the trunk!”
Pet of the month: little Lola enjoys her playtime with her best friend
Little Lola was a stray cat who wandered into the
middle of the road one night and was rescued by a young girl who then gave that
cat to her cousin. Lola now lives in her forever home with her best friend- a
Jack Russell Terrier named Oliver. Lola loves to jump over Oliver and play with
his toys. She loves sitting by the window and waiting for her family to come
home from work. Lola is very quiet, and timid, and has never quite found her voice.
When she meows it is very quiet and soft. Her fur is a fair buff colour and very soft. She spends most of her time sitting
on the stairs waiting for pets from her people. But don’t be fooled- she loves
to bug her best friend when no one is looking and often gets caught jumping
right over him.
