Liz picked up George two weeks ago from a wonderful hobby breeder!  It was love at first sight!

Liz’s first hug!

He has already settled into life at the office quite nicely and has even become a bit of a celebrity around town!  If you see George feel free to stop by and say hi or give him a wave!  He loves meeting new people!

A couple of weeks ago, we discussed the cost of veterinarian bills and an article we found online lamenting the high price of animal care.  Needless to say, this was an emotional subject and we got a lot of feedback!  One dedicated reader wrote us the following:

“In my opinion, it is the Guardian’s responsibility to provide the best possible life for their companion animals.

A good parent does the same for their children, if only people realized as you and I do that animals deserve the same love, treatment, and care.

If your child is sick, you have to pay for their care.

People should NEVER bring an animal into their lives without doing their research and realizing that animals, like people, suffer from ailments and accidents.”
Thanks to everyone for their continued patronage of our blog!  We ALWAYS love to hear readers’ opinions and feedback on our postings wether they agree with us or not!

The SNIF crew rallied together this past Sunday to raise money for the MSPCA!  Both human and dog members of the team met up at Boston Common.  Take a look at some of the pictures from the event!

This weekend, the SNIF crew will be walking in the 2008 MSPCA Walk for Animals.  It takes place on Sunday September 7th at the Boston Common.  The SNIF team went last year and had SO much fun!  So many people and doggies came out to support this wonderful organization!  There were lots of contests, and several carts with treats!

It’s not too late to sign up! Or…if you’re not going to be around, you can still make a donation!

Pet Fashion Week was awesome. It was a huge gathering of dog lovers exhibiting the hottest new pet products and some of the best dog groomers in the country. The Grooming Challenge was sponsored by Les Pooches and was really impressive. I wish I had pictures of it because these people were ridiculous - one lady shaved a picture of a poodle into her poodle!!

Overall we had a blast at the show and made some great connections. A few SNIF Labs friends were there as well. Chopper was rocking a Grrrberry collar he got from Bowchies, and the new Puffer that Mascot introduced seemed to be causing quite a stir.

The SNIF Tag also made quite a splash at the show. It was so different compared to everything else there that our booth was always busy. We’re looking forward to attending another one soon. You can see why the booth drew in soooo many dog lovers at the show!

Is anyone hitting up SuperZoo in vegas this year??
