Robbins Pet Care
11230 Gold Express Dr., Ste. 310-294
Gold River, CA 95670


Not only is Robbins Pet Care a local company, I like the way they are doing business. Their website says: "The products sold at Robbins Pet Care are made by companies with a deep commitment to providing a healthier, happier life for your pet. All of our products are carefully selected based upon quality of ingredients and materials used and the impact they have on the environment. We strive to offer product choices where they have a positive impact on the environment." 

Because of this criteria, the product selection is not as wide as other on-line retailers. At the same time, Robbins Pet Care has done the work already picking out the best products! They currently have a sale on these items:

• PetzLife Oral Care Spray
• Animal Essentials Herbal Multi-Vitamin Powder
• BioBag Dog Waste Bags
• Wholesome Hide Large Beef Hide Chips 

Bottom Line: Supporting a local business is important to keep the dollars in the local economy. Robbins Pet Care's distinctive character is their advantage in attracting other like-minded people. They are also have link of Articles on pet health and companionship. It is nice to know they trust The Whole Dog Journal, too, because it is listed under their Other Useful Resources category. This is a different kind of on-line pet store but in a very good positive way!

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.

One thing I look forward to when I visit my childhood home is reading my sister's Baltimore Dog Magazines. It is a specialty publication released quarterly. Upscale but not pretentious and primarily education-driven. I believe it is changing lives of dogs by giving readers new perspectives & relevant content to become better dog owners.

wish we had something of this caliber here

 There are many articles in the Fall 2010 issue of Baltimore Dog that made quite an impression on me:

• "Animal Abuse: The Conspiracy of Silence" by Joan Allen
• "Food for Thought: What's in that bag dog food?" by Scott Sanderson, DVM, CVA
• "Pet Insurance 10: Are you making the right choice for your dog?" by Lisa Cleary
• "The Funny Side of Learning Pet Ownership Basics" by Jenna Bobetich

It is also a great resource for folks looking for independent pet stores who stock the best dog foods, treats, supplies and toys. If you have a moment, check out the link above to read this quality magazine dedicated to the well-being of its dog community. Enjoy!

Everyone is the age of their heart.

A perfect quote. 

Very fitting (of my time spent with the East Coast set - humans and canines - alike).

Ben & Molly are senior dogs. Josey & Lucas are younger dogs. 

Their energy levels are on opposite poles. 

Fast & slow. Quiet & noisy. Hyper & mellow. 

Pace of life is different with each set yet all deeply enriching to my soul. 

I enjoyed taking care of Ben & Molly - 

going on walks, preparing food, brushing (Molly) 

and interacting/playing in the new backyard.
Both are very vibrant and aging beautifully.

They are my extended canine family! 

The peace & serenity came to a screeching halt when I woke up this morning. 

Josey & Lucas were ready to jump back into the routine pronto. 

I laughed and rolled out of bed. 

Home sweet home! 

Took them to Kitty Hawk for an hour so they could run, run, run 

'til their tongues touched the ground. 

Wish I had the camera to capture their silliness. 

All day long both stayed close to me.

Always love the old and the young!

Speaking of young, I am contemplating fostering one of these BC pups from BCRNC...

**sigh**

Butch Cassidy

The Sundance Kid

These are busy, tough times for rescue organizations 

and animal shelters all over the country. 

If you can open your heart (and wallet), 

please donate money, volunteer your time or foster!

Thank you for your support!

Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

A plea from Lucas...
come home

I'll be returning home today.
Can't wait to hug pups and give presents!
And of course, the husband gets love & presents too.
I know he was awesome taking care of Josey & Lucas
(but ready for me to take over).

To the East Coast set, I love you and already miss you!
Thank you all for a wonderful trip!

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Molly is a lucky girl.

She has a big backyard and agility equipment for fun games.

I love this photo of Molly - you feel her joie de vivre and happiness...

Molly, what is more fun frisbee or tunnel?

 If you distract her from away the frisbee and say "tunnel,"  

she'll dash through - spirits soaring!

She is a delight. 

Always wanting to please and play.

I'll miss her company (and Ben too) when I return West tomorrow.

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

dogzoomies has a knack for picking out the best interactive toys for Ben & Molly. So after raiding through Molly's toy basket, I decided Lucas who loves toys will need a couple of new ones. Christmas may come early for him!

Kyjen Invincibles Plush Snake Toy (3 squeaker, green)

"The Kygen Invincibles Snake Toy provides your pet with hours of interactive fun. A rattle in the tail offers extra excitement too. And there’s no internal stuffing to make a mess in your home. Specially designed squeakers still operate even after hours of being bitten and tossed around and they will still squeak even when chamber has multiple punctures."

Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball (large, orange)

"Keep your dog entertaining, focused, and nourished with the Omega Paw Tricky Treat ball. Place your pet’s favorite food or treats inside the craters on the tough but soft, pliable textured surface. When your dog plays with the easy-grip Tricky Treat, the food falls out, providing your furry friend with a tasty snack. Easy to fill with treats and keeps your dog mentally and physically stimulated for hours. 5 inches in diameter."

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

We roasted a 13 lb. turkey today and Ben watched the whole show. 

Call it a Thanksgiving Dinner trial run complete sweet potatoes & apple pie!

Ben was so happy!

He had unbelievable patience. 

Stamina. 

Determination.

Of course, he was richly rewarded with lots of yummy turkey with his dinner!

Good boy!
