Pet of the Month July 2013: Baby and her pet parent have a special bond
Meet Bracken- or Baby as she is lovingly referred to.
Baby may be small for a Bernese mountain dog but her heart is ten times her
size. Despite all odds and regardless of what the world throws at them, Baby
and her pet parent Jessy enjoy life together with a positive outlook and a
whole lot of ‘puppy’ love.
 |
| All photos by Jessy |
Baby has a rough start to her life. When Baby was adopted
from her breeder she had the Parvo virus, which can be deadly for dogs-
especially puppies. Baby spent a lot of time in the veterinary hospital trying
to recover so she could be in her forever home. It took a lot of time and a lot
more love from her family to get Baby to where she is today.

Employee fired from Kemptville Wal-mart after trying to help a dog in a car on a hot day
By Stacey McIntyre-Gonzalez

By Stacey McIntyre-Gonzalez
Does being a Good Samaritan pay off? For Carla Cheney, a former employee
of Wal-mart in Kemptville, Ontario it did not seem like it. On July 10, 2013 Cheney
was fired from Wal-mart after she confronted a customer for leaving a
dog in his truck.
The reason for Cheney being fired is that she was allegedly rude to the customer.
Cheney
had just a week prior
called the SPCA on a customer who had left a dog in their vehicle. She
had witnessed it along side her manager. When she asked her manager
what she should do her manager advised her
that it was none of her business and went inside the store.
On Tuesday Cheney witnessed
another dog being left in a vehicle and the former Wal-mart pharmacy
technician took action.
Cheney stated to CBC News that
she hadn’t started her shift yet and was in fact in plain clothes and
not wearing her Wal-mart vest. Cheney was sitting at a table with some
fellow employees outside of the Kemptville Wal-mart when she witnessed
the customer leaving his dog in a parked truck.

shelters right now just waiting to find a forever home...

Gentle Giant: Saint Bernard was once a hospice dog but is now a giant companion
 |
| Photo by Pipistrula Foter.com CC BY NC SA |
The gentle and quiet Saint Bernard may not have had an
official name until the 1880s, but it's now one of the most popular giant dog
breeds. The Saint's droopy face has drooled its way into the hearts of pet owners worldwide.
Saint Bernard is the dog definition of a gentle giant.
On average this decedent of the Mastiff weighs 110 pounds- but both males and
females have been known to weigh in at 200 pounds. Hazel's mother, a purebred Saint Bernard names Noisette, which means Hazelnut in French weighed around 150lbs. This gigantic pet belongs to
the working group of dogs and like its Bernese Mountain Dog neighbor, it was used for draft work in the past. Saint Bernard is most known for
its work as a search and rescue dog. It has a sacred past- which is how the
breed finally got its official name in 1880.

More about me- Keira!I am a two year old Saint Bernard/ Bernese Mountain Dog mix. I am quiet and very well behaved so my parents reward me for that all the time with lots of outdoor adventures. I am really good at hiking, swimming and climbing steep hills. I love to jump over things and run real fast. I was rescued from a shelter from my first mommy but she ran into tough times. So she found me another mommy and daddy and they told me they will keep me forever. Its okay though- I love everyone and I'm always happy as long as I have a family. I really want to win to show other doggies that even though your in a shelter there is a family out there that is perfect for you and that will love you. Just like my mommy and daddy love me!
Keira's favourite things: -playing with the ball
-squeaking her ball
-playing hide and seek, especially the seeking -going in the water
-going in the water when mommy and daddy say not to
-doing my tricks; high five, playing dead, rolling over. I can do anything!
-Rolling in poop (unfortunate for my two leggeds)
-snuggles and kisses
-spreading my love around and just being a dog, a really good dog.
Bath time blues
Kickin' it in the wetlands
Mommy and daddy gave me a job!
I love the water! This was my first time at the cottage and I can't wait to go back!
Sometimes I roll in dirty stuff...then I have to have bath time.
But I guess bath time is not so bad- it does make me look extra pretty!
This is what I do when mommy works on the computer- I'm doing in right now!
Daddy can't get away with not giving me belly rubs when he lays with me on my bed.
I play air guitar too! I'm so talented!
Sometimes I squish mommy...
...but I'm so cute she doesn't mind!
I love affection almost as much as...
...I love impressing people with my skills- I'm pretty good at playing dead, rolling over and high fives!
I always make sure I shake off near mommy on warm days to make sure she stays cool.
My zombie is the first toy my mommy and daddy gave me. Its my favourite. I sleep with it on the comfy bed with me until its time for me to sneak into mommy and daddy's bed. I know I'm not supposed to but they never seem to mind because they love me so much.
