Pet of the Week: Pasha
on Tuesday May 21st, 2013 at 06:06 PM
This is Pasha, our Main Coon boy. He is 8 years old, but more often acts like 8 months! We found Pasha online an elderly lady had to give him up and we were the lucky forever family who was chosen.
It took a little time for Pasha and my 16 year old Russian Blue, Wasabi to bond, but theyre buddies now. Both of them love going outdoors in our fenced yard and enjoying the fresh air and nibbling grass. Pasha also loves to roll onto his back, which of course invites lots of tummy rubs! Hes also...
Pet Insurance Claim of the Week: Foxtail in Dog’s Nose
on Monday May 20th, 2013 at 03:00 PM
Kylie
This time of year, our pets are spending more time outside and there are more foxtails than ever which means the odds your pet will have a foxtail incident are greatly increased.
Foxtails are plant parts that serve to disperse grass seeds. They are composed of a hard tip and several spikelets which easily cling onto pet fur.
It is important to keep your pet from contact with foxtails or pluck them off when found because they can irreversibly burrow into your pets ears, nose, paws, and...

Should killing a Police Dog be a Felony?
on Thursday May 16th, 2013 at 03:00 PM
I have a trading card on my refrigerator of a police dog named MP. I met MP when I was doing a ride-a-long with a friend of mine who is a police officer here in Anchorage, Alaska. We had gone to a park to look for a woman who had gone in to a diabetic shock and wandered in to the woods. MPs handler handed me the trading card when I asked the dogs name.
I was absolutely mesmerized by MP. He is an 85lb, 6 year old Belgian Malinois who started working for the Anchorage Police Department in 2008....
