Ok so who says you need a human partner to enjoy those “couples” massage appointments?? Buddahdog.com has you & your pet (dog or cat) covered with the “Doggy & Me” massage. Check it out:
“Pamper yourself and your dog (or cat)! BUDDHA DOG is pleased to announce our partnership with Spaquest, Inc.’s Amy Cucullu. “Doggy & Me” massages offer you Amy’s brand of Fitness Therapy Massage incorporating five styles, personalized to accommodate your specific needs, while your dog or cat gets a full-body massage, along with acupressure, Touch and Reiki, right next to you (their favorite place to be!).”
Sounds fabulous, no? Google the bulldog isn’t the only deserving pooch! I think Cha-cha would be too freaked out to let anyone else touch him, but he does love it when I give him a nice rub-down! Check out Buddahdog.com for rates, info, blogs & community announcements regarding wellness for you & your pooch.
More dogs are lost during the July 4th holiday than at any other time, because they hate the fireworks. Basically, they get freaked out and run away due to a high level of anxiety. This holiday, make sure that you have proper identification on your pooch - worst case scenario, at least they have info on them.
Alot of people aren’t realizing that along with the sub-prime mortgage crisis going on, not only are people losing their homes, but many of them are having to move to apartment style living that don’t allow pets - especially big dogs. If you have a home and want a dog, rescuing is one of the best feeling things you can do.
If you can’t adopt, you can spread the word, or donate some stuff to the local animal shelters to make the homeless animals a bit more comfy…I rescued Cha Cha from pet-finder.com and he is one of the best things that have ever happened to me!
Many of you know that I adopted Cha Cha from petfinder.com and totally recommend adoption/rescuing a dog before purchasing, especially from a dog store which are typical culprits of purchasing puppies from horrible conditions called puppymills. Cha Cha was a puppymill dog, and although he is much more relaxed around humans now than he probably ever has, he had years of rehabilitation to endure. This season, the Los Angeles animal service facilities are holding a Blankets of Love drive, where you can donate old blankets, towels, newspapers, copying paper etc. for stray & homeless animals awaiting adoption. It’s a proven fact that if a dog is comfortable and feels more cozy, their chance of being adopted into a forever home is much higher.
When you’re doing your spring cleaning this year, be sure to make a separate bag for some or any of these items & drop them off at your local animal shelter - it makes everyone smile & doesn’t cost you a dime! If you have kids, this is such a great project to get them involved in and shows how to contribute positively and regularly in your community.

Blankets/towels
