Canoeing at Boughton Park

My mom's dog Ollie loves to go out on the canoe! Even at 15 hes still young at heart. Ollie does pretty well off leash and is very friendly so he is the easiest to take out for a ride. His favorite part is when we get going fast he sticks a paw in to feel the water or grab a quick drink. He did attempt to tip us in more than once tho!

Enjoying my kitty Kuranda bed

My favorite kitties again at Lollypop. I always spend a lot of time with them on Sunday afternoons. I imagine that they miss living in a home with a human of their own. They are all soo affectionate, I don't want them to loose that sweetness.

I'm happy to say that Lollypop Farm has amazing supporters that donate cat towers, scratching posts, beds, toys, and treats for all of the cats. All of these things make a huge difference in their happiness while they are at the shelter. You can view the full wish list here.

Riga Kitties - My Favs

These kitties are at Lollypop Farm. They are not available for adoption yet but they are some of my favorite cats at the shelter. They were taken from a hording situation in Riga NY and until the legal case is closed they are unavailable.

I love treats!



My baby boy! He is just the sweetest thing



Fixin' Ferals at Lollypop Farm

Kitten in the clinic

Today Lollypop Farm held one of their feral cat fixathons. Local groups that care for feral colonies trapped and brought in cats to be spayed and neutered. Some of the groups around Rochester that take care of feral cats are Habitat for Cats and The Colony Caregivers. Both groups brought in cats. Total about 40 feral cats were fixed today. That's a lot of kittens prevented! I volunteered this morning to help out in the clinic waking up the cats while they are coming out of anaesthesia.

Collar Me Up

Classic Stripes

I'm addicted to buying stuff for Peanut and Bailey. So when my coworker started making her own dog collars of corse I can't resist and I buy several of them! The collars are beautiful but even better than that they are made well so I don't have to worry about the dogs breaking out of them (my worst fear). Its difficult to find quality dog collars for small dogs. Most of them are super thin and break easily. Bailey and Peanut each have two collars from Collar Me Up. My mom's dogs Mia and Ollie also have collars from there.

Collar Me Up specializes in custom made dog collars so you can pick your ribbon and background and buckle style. But if your like me and thats way too many choices they also have ready made collar styles to choose from. Peanut and Ollie have coordinating collars! They are my favorite two collars. Peanut's says little stinker with skunks and Ollie's says makin mischief with raccoons. Both very representative of their personalities.

Mia's Collar

Whats awesome is they also have cute collars for large dogs. Not that I know by experience but I hear it is difficult to find a cute collar for big dogs. Just because your dog is big doesn't mean you wont want to dress him or her up in adorable gear. I've also ordered ID tags for mine and my moms dogs from their site. These ID tags are really well made so the engraving wont wear off like on other tags. They also slide on flat to the collar so the dogs can't chew them. Peanut is always chewing on her tags, to the point that they are not clear anymore. The tags are big enough for an extra line of information. I put Peanut's microchip ID  # on her tag, on Mia my moms dog's tag I put "I Do Not Like Kids". Shes 17 years old but very small so she looks like a puppy. Kids always want to pet her but shes old and grumpy. If she bites someone I'll have big problems on my hands. This make me feel a little better. So if she wandered off and a stranger found her at least they would know not to let their kids pet her.
