2 or 3 Step Convertible Dog Stairs

What you see before you is the Convertible Dog Stairs from the Lakeside Collection.

I think its really cool because you can make it flat or with stairs. Flat makes it very easy for dogs with small legs, like small breed puppies, to get up to wherever the stairs head, and the steps make it easier to have traction (well, actually, I'm not a dog so I can't say if going up a flat ramp has any traction or not.) or just to get up somewhere, all while looking nice!

It comes in a 2 step version and a 3 step version. The actual steps seem to be the same size, while the 3 step gets  your dog up to a higher surface.

You can get yours here for the following prices:

3 Step: $18.95

2 Step: $15.95

Free Spay and Neuter Surgeries for Chihuahuas (Pasadena, CA)

The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA released the following information Tuesday:

In an effort to reduce pet overpopulation, the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA will be offering free spay and neuter surgeries for Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes starting Jan. 1.

Chihuahuas have become a prominent part of the general kennel population.

The new program, which is part of the agency’s Spay and Neuter in Pasadena (SNiP) program, is developed to encourage owners to sterilize their Chihuahuas, and, in turn, reduce overpopulation.

Requirements

The free service applies to Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes up to 15 pounds for residents of the shelter’s service cities--Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, La Cañada Flintridge, Arcadia and Glendale. Owners can also request their dog to be microchipped at no additional charge. Pets must be a minimum of two months old and weigh at least two pounds to have surgery.

Pet Population

Since June 2010, PHS has developed strong partnerships with East Coast shelters to balance the population by transporting more than 200 Chihuahuas to Richmond, Va. and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“This has been an ongoing trend for quite some time now,” said Ricky Whitman, spokesperson for the Pasadena Humane Society. “We’re striving to help the animals and their owners through our public clinic. This is a wonderful resource we hope pet owners will use.”

Wow. You know, ever since Beverly Hills Chihuahua came out, there have been tons of Chihuahuas being owned, and repopulating, and ending up at shelters. I think it's a good idea to have free spay and neuters for Chihuahuas, not only because they're cute, but because I know for a fact, (volunteering for Save Animals From Euthanasia, based in the East Valley of Arizona) that Chihuahuas are one of they main animals at the shelters. Go PHS!

Taz The Chihuahua Is Reunited With California Family After Five Years

Stockton, CA (KOVR) - A pure bred Chihuahua, named Taz Taz, disappeared 5 years ago during the family's move to their Oakdale home.

As each year passed, the family gave up hope, and feared they would never see their four legged friend ever again.

A call a few days before Christmas changed everything.

"They told me they had my dog Taz and I was like Taz disappeared five years ago," said owner Ann Magnussen. 

Taz was safe and sound, but far from home.

90 miles to be exact, abandoned in Berkley grocery store parking lot.

The dog was taken to a Berkley animal shelter where it was scanned for a microchip.  He was then reunited with his family.

It is still unclear how Taz ended up in Berkeley.

2012 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and thanks for visiting my blog!

Though it's just another day according to folks who don't go by calendars or years, months, or days, it's an important day for us who do because it's like a milestone - another year that we've lived and experienced. 

Don't fear this year.

People just say that because they think the world is going to end, while others fear this year because they don't know what lies ahead of them. Either way, all will be well and I'll be writing this same post next year.

Happy 2012 and good luck!
