Pretty Pets, Pristine Pooch
May 8, 2008
With so many couples considering their pets their babies it is no surprise that brides are looking for ways to incorporate there pets in the wedding day celebrations!
My poor little dog was so badly needed some TLC, so we brough him to Pristine Pooch, 468 Main Street, Melrose Ma. They did such a fantastic job, and they had so many cute clothes and ideas. With Acupuncture, Spa Treaments, and Grooming Services, your pets will be just as happy and pretty as you on your big day! So while I was there I asked owner, Joe Tofalo, some questions about his new Dog Spa.
One of the best features of Pristine Pouch is vision that the grooming manager, Sam El Naggar, brings to the shop. Having previously groomed poodles in Paris and terriers in Boston, and drawing on his artistic abilities which also can be seen in his oil paintings http://www.elnaggarfineart.com, Sam believes that your pet should have the latest look. He says that people are not walking around with outdated hairstyles, why should there dogs! - I guess the behive is out for both people and pets!
Some wedding day glam for your dog!

Something Cuddly
April 7, 2008
You’ve probably noticed that in the recent decade, the age of first time mom’s is rising! I myself (Amber) am 27, with no immediate plans to have children. Instead of kids, what seems to be becoming increasingly popular in my circle of friends - are pets! While my house is under construction, my husband and I had a chance to stay with some friends, who own 3 adorable cats! Their names are Emerson, Emelia, and Evangeline. Here they are:
They all have great personalities, but I have to admit my favorite is the Ragdoll- Evangeline. She’s about a year old, and really spunky! The Ragdoll cat is very sought after animal. They have a medium hair length and require grooming only about once week. They don’t shed as much as other cats, and their fur doesn’t “mat” like Persians tend to. The best part about Ragdoll cats though (and how they got the name), are how they become like putty in your arms when you pick them up! If you’re looking for a cuddly cat - this type would be a very good choice for you! If you’re in the market - remember to seek out a reputable breeder.
If you’re not too particular on the type of cat, and have a heart for rescuing animals, here is a fabulous website to check out! www.petfinder.com
