Out & About after Spring StormsMay 13th, 2009 by Molly FeeneyFor those who live near cable, electrical or any type of lines please be very careful after the high winds and spring storms. The winds kicked in so high yesterday we had some tree damage which also caused some ‘live lines’ to come down. These live lines can be dangerous to us humans and wildlife around you. It may seem as simple as removing the trees yourself but if a ‘live’ line is connected to a tree it could cause your tree to be ‘live’ as well. So call a professional to remove the damage and repair the lines. On our morning walk, Talulah and I past a little bit of damage next to our house…
As we continue on we see more wind damage, garbage and broken glass everywhere (Yikes!) We trail around all the debris feeling the tempature rising (Finally) I’m still a preacher of daily brisk walks with your pup, I promise it will release some pent up energy from the long ‘non-walking’ winter months. This is what your pup should look like after a brisk walk…  Talulah - After our walk
Enjoy what looks like another beautiful weekend ahead Get out with your dogs, walk, run and play!

A Great day at the Walk for Animals!May 3rd, 2009 by JJWe couldn’t have asked for a better day to be at the Walk for Animals this year! The turn out was unbelievable! It was great meeting many of our customers, it’s fun to put a face with the name. From dogs to cats, horses to ponies, rabbits to pigs, the Walk for Animals was the place to be on Saturday! Check out some of these photos…
Get out with your Dogs!May 1st, 2009 by Molly FeeneyThe weather is finally taking a turn for the better so get outdoors and walk your dogs! Saturday join the Animal Humane Society for the “Walk for Animals” http://www.animalhumanesociety.org/walk If you can’t get outdoors for some crazy reason, then find a playdate for your pups to at leash get some socialization time. Just Paws’ “Mini Paws Playgroup” has two playdates this weekend and every weekend Saturday and Sunday in Wayzata MN. http://www.justpawstraining.com/playgroups.html If everything fails you and you can’t do a thing with your pup at least toss ‘em a bone to chew. Did you know when your dog chews it can help to alleviate some pent up stress and lack of exercise? Keep your bone Raw, Fresh-frozen or Natural to reap the benefits. Warm wags~ Molly N’ Lulah
Good for Sports IllustratedDecember 24th, 2008 by JayInstead of simply running the usual end of the year – remember when the Giants beat the Patriots (which was cool), Sports Illustrated stepped outside and actually told a real story. None of this should allow us to forget how extremely screwed up this whole deal was, but reading the story about how the these dogs ended up has to leave you with the feeling that things can work out, especially when good people step up. And that is kind of a sports story – because in the end isn’t that what sports is all about – people stepping up? Peace.
Don’t Slip and Slide this WinterDecember 11th, 2008 by Molly FeeneyWaking up to a fresh snow fall brings a smile to most Minesotan’s. But to walk in that wonderland is another matter…It may seem easy to just slip on your sorrels and take a walk, but add a dog with a little pulling power and the only direction you’ll be going is down…I have found one great thing to keep me steady on my feet while enjoying the snowy paths with my girl Talulah. All our US mail couriers wear theses and have kept them the best hidden secret. They are calledYaktrax http://www.yaktrax. You can also find them in running stores for the winter runners. They make a size for everyone so your entire family can get out together and enjoy the slippery streets in your neighborhood. So take an extra 30 seconds for yourself and slip on something to keep you upright. Now if you also need to keep your hands free of your dogs leash, try this cool leash from Stunt Puppy. This leash snaps around your waist, has a little bungie material in it so you won’t feel a big “yank” if your puppy pulls. So your hands are free now stop and throw snowball for your dog and have a more fun in your outing.Find these great products at our friends website www.fetchdelivers.com Warm Winter Walking Wags,Molly & Talulah To Bootie or Not to Bootie… Your Dog’s PawsDecember 11th, 2008 by Molly FeeneyDecember brings us beautiful snow falls, icy paths and chilly temperatures. With all that bring harsh chemicals & salt to melt the slippery roads. So while we want to get our pups out to enjoy the fresh snow remember you may encounter some chemically treated salted areas which can cause painful paws with your pooches. Don’t be too vein or embarrassed to “bootie” your dog , play it safe and let your dog enjoy the walk . Millions of professional sled dog racers bootie their dogs all year round when running them in cold temps and even in the warm summer months to protect their pads.Even fresh, deep snow can become impacted in-between dogs paws and create very painful pressure. So if you see your pooch lifting their feet STOP and dig out the snow. And next time you run out to play in the snow or walk on city streets, maybe you’ll snap on some booties.These boot aren’t expensive and if you think your dogs won’t wear them, think again. Just get a set of four put them on, step outside and keep moving.You don’t want them too big so they fly off when you walk. Make sure they fit snug and are on tight enough so you don’t loose them when you walk . Where to find these “Cool” Boots for your Pooch?In the Twin Citeshttp://www.fetchdelivers.comhttp://www.stuntpuppy.com http://www.boneadventure.com What do you do if you “have” to salt the slippery walk ways? If you live in an area where you have to salt your roads you can buy something called safety paws. It is a salt which will not hurt your pups paws. Help educate your friends and neighbors and buy them a bag, if you live in the cities, tell your local shop owners to use a pet friendly salt so when you are out on your walk, you can come window shop with your dog.Another alternative to salt is to use sand and or cat litter. You could make your own concoction of sand, litter and safety paws salt. You just need something your boots can grip and not slip on. Beware… some dogs may feel the need to stop, lick and or paw at this new scent in the snow. Don’t stop and sniff and linger around this area, keep moving and enjoy the walk.So get out and walk your dogs! Everyone can use some winter fresh air.Warm walks,Molly & Lulah Walking Your Dog in the WinterDecember 21st, 2007 by Fetch DeliversEveryone wants a quick fix when it comes to walk your dog in the winter…Even I can attest to this from time to time. Every morning cold or Really, Really cold I bundle my young Talulah up and walk around our pond twice (20 minutes). But before I attempt this I have set MYSELF (not my dog) up to succeed! I make sure my tumbler of coffee is full with enough coffee to get me two laps around our pond. All summer, spring and Fall I was preparing myself for this winter wonderland which if you all really want to know I HATE! I would practice off leash re-calls with Talulah keeping her with-in eye shot at all times. Leash OptionsI tried all the leashes and what I call ‘training wheels’ on the market. I used the Head collars to the Body harnesses to the obnoxious Metal collars to the Electric collar. (By the way I have been totally against the remote-electric collars my entire career!) However, what I have found is there is a time and a place for ALL these ‘training wheels’. So don’t be ignorant and try the remote collars without consulting a professional. Don’t just slap on a Head collar and think is going to change your life. Don’t go out and buy what your neighbor said their trainers trainer used 13 years ago. Good lord, be smart and figure out what is going to fit your life style and find something you understand and will be consistent with. If you have issues with the infamous “SHOCK” collar, skip it. You’ll never commit to it and will be scared to use it. If you think the ‘Head collars’ are too much like a muzzle, then either re-educate yourself and (take note that it is designed after the ‘Head collar’ used for horses) or skip on to something else. How about that body harness thing? The Easy walk… That is a safe bet for many people. It looks good, It seems very humane and everyone commits to it right away. BEWARE, your young chewing puppy may find this is so easy to slip out of or a really great chew toy. My friend Bob at Fetchdelivers said that he did not like the ‘Choke collar’. Do you blame him? That collar when out of style when Tom Jones reinvented his career in Las Vegas! My advice to all of you is to do your home work! Ask some professionals what they recommend and try it. Commit and stick with it at least One month. If you still have trouble with it get a new dog… Just kidding, Don’t be too proud to call a professional and ask for help.

We all know how hard it can be to resist those begging eyes and that furry face you can deny nothing on any given day, and on Thanksgiving – with the fragrant smell of that really rich dinner swimming throughout the house – the temptation can be that much worse. But this year, do your dog a favor and keep her away from the items listed below. Pookie Dearest might be miffed for the evening, but her stomach will thank you the next day.
3. Gravy/Buttery Side Dishes - This one goes hand-in-hand with the turkey skin. Fatty foods and trimmings can cause pancreatitis in dogs at worst and diarrhea or vomiting at “best.” ThePoop.com 
7. The Kitchen – Thanksgiving can be the busiest day of the year for the kitchen, and you’ll want to keep your pup out of there. With hot dishes being whisked from one counter to the next, there’s a chance a dog that’s under foot could be burned or cut if something were to shatter.
