A Lost Dog!

While I was chatting with my client this morning, I suddenly saw a chihuahua running against the traffic on Lincoln Blvd! I instantly rushed out with a leash and was able to capture it back to safety.

Luckily all the cars stopped but if it was a second late, she would have been hit.

Unfortunately, she neither had a collar nor a tag. She is a chihuahua mix with eyes turning white and must be a senior from its skin condition. Being tired from this ordeal, she slept like she was in a coma inside the cage. She is used to being bathed. Since her owner has not been found I will take her in. If anyone has any information, please contact venicepets.

Newly arrived item for today is the DONUT BED.
As soon as the package was opened, it was love at first sight, it is so cute!

When the manufacturer told me that there’s going to be a bed version of the donut toy, I ordered it without seeing them first and they have just arrived!

Since the donut toys were sold out immediately upon their arrival, we have stocked up ample quantity for these beds.

It looks like a real donut. It comes in pink and chocolate. (strawberry and chocolate??) And is washer safe. Maybe for pooches under 7 lbs? Anyway, it’s very cute, so please come in and check it out.
