Happy Birthday, Sofie!

This is Ed Juda!
August 1st, 2010Ah HA! See, you do know him — in his capacity of Head Zone Gardener for the North Meadow of Central Park. He greets each of us every morning. Here he is getting an earful from morning regular, Cleo. And this is also Ed, in his normal human capacity as owner of three beautiful dogs.

Does your dog have chronic ear infections?
July 27th, 2010Maybe you need an ear blower. This is an ear blower: Animal General (www.animalgeneral.com) prescribed an ear blower for Winston, our Standard Poodle friend, after what seemed a continuous cycle of infection followed by antibiotics and ear cleansers. It’s very simple. Every other day, Winston’s “mom” puffs boric acid in each of Winston’s ears and [...]

Coming soon to a media screen near you . . .
July 23rd, 2010Did you see The New York Times article today describing the wave of pet performances on our media? Want to know what’s up and where? For starters, don’t miss Animal Planet’s “Dogs vs Cats” airing this Saturday pm (7/24/10). There’s also National Geographic’s two-hour special on August 8 entitled “And Man Created Dog”. Don’t even [...]
Wonderful dog walkers! Today: Megan, again
July 23rd, 2010Another devoted client raved in an email this morning about Megan. She wrote: Funny story about Tucker and Megan. I was at the studio with Tucker and it was getting close to dog walking time. Tucker was nervous – would Megan know to pick him up there? I told him Megan was coming and he [...]
Could you live in only 6 pieces of clothing for a month?
July 23rd, 2010http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/fashion/22SIXERS.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=homepage How about his & hers together on 3 pieces? That’s my husband and me in our matching company t-shirts, white socks & shorts. OK, a dressy t-shirt and long pants for special occasions. Easy on storage, the laundry, and the budget.
Home design with your dog in mind
July 22nd, 2010From today’s New York Times, an article about small and not so small changes you can make to your apartment to accommodate your dog’s needs. Take a look! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/garden/22pets.html?_r=1&ref=global-home
Getting your dog from here to there
July 18th, 2010Stella’s “mom” did not want to send Stella by plane under any circumstances and particularly not in the summer heat. Instead she arranged for We Move Pets, LLC, a pet transport company based in Bryan, Texas, to come collect her dog from us yesterday morning and transport her from New York City to Houston. The [...]
Heat advisory: From noon today thru 6p tomorrow
July 16th, 2010We take heat very seriously here and we wanted to remind you to do the same. Our dogs have higher body temps than we do and nothing but the mouth and paws to regulate it. It doesn’t take much for them to overheat. Please make sure they have plenty of water and as much air [...]
A walk in the park
July 16th, 2010Well, what do you know! your morning walk in Central Park with your pooch is boosting your immunity, actually driving up your white blood cell count. The chemicals that plants give out to protect themselves against rot and insects appear also to raise levels of white blood cells in humans and to “lower concentrations of [...]
Does your dog throw up bile in the mornings?
July 13th, 2010When asked yesterday, Dr. K of Riverside Animal Hospital (108th St) said this likely results from a hungry stomach and the simple solution is a little food before bed or before the morning walk. Most people who feed their dogs twice a day generally give the breakfast and supper within 8 hours of each other. [...]
Wonderful dog walkers! Today: Hilary
July 11th, 2010Roxy is a Bernese Mountain Dog. In an email to me on 7/9/10, her owner wrote: Hilary is a caring, wonderful and focused dog walker. When she comes to our home, routinely in the late morning, I see Roxy’s tail begin to wag, and she cannot wait to go outside with Hilary (and often, some [...]
Wonderful dog walkers! Today: Jen
July 11th, 2010No sooner did we post a client’s praise of our dog walker Megan than other clients wrote in praise of their dog walker Jen. (I have to think they wrote via email because, like me, they’re a little unsure about using new technology, ie, social media.) So, from Fosco’s mom we heard: I cannot resist [...]
