So now that the Clean+Green contest is closed, I have some great news for you! For all of you still wanting to try this product, I got an email from Karla at Global Pet Foods in Hintonburg and Kanata and they now carry it!

I even bought the carpet and upholstery cleaner for myself yesterday at the Grand Opening Celebration of the Hintonburg location!

Could you/would you ask your readership if they have any knowledge of the person who picked up my deceased dog late Friday November 5th in the evening on Highway 31 near Harmony View Farm to contact me at 613-998-7816? Both dogs were hit by a pick-up truck, and the one who survived was taken by the driver of the truck and is now at home. A witness to the accident said they would come back later and take care of the remains, but no-one got the name or phone number of the person. I would like to know where he ended up.

Thank-you for your help. I figure anyone who would volunteer to do that must be a dog lover and therefore, must read your blog. I know I do.

With older dogs who have Diabetes and Cushings disease, we unfortunately know all about accidents. Is this product scented?

Brandy was a special dog who lived in Saint John, New Brunswick – she only had three legs! This is a story from her family.

“I am not ready to go visit the Saint John Animal Rescue League”, I firmly stated to the family. We had only put down our spcial friend, Moscow, after 10 years. But after a week I caved in and went to visit our special animal shelter. We looked around and wanted to bring home every one of the dogs. A beautiful set of brown eyes followed us around the room. They belonged to “Brandy”, an adorable whiskey-coloured small dog; however, no one seemed the least bit interested in her. Upon asking if we could see here, the attendant took her out of the cage and held her in his arms. He said that no one would take here as she had a disability. When she was a pup, she tried to climb up an old-fashioned scissor-type baby gate and was so seriously injured that a complete amputation of the right hip and leg was required. Well, that did it for us and Brandy was officially adopted.

She became a dear little companion to the family and won over everyone she met. She could dance around in fast circles if she knew it was time to get in the car and head to Tim Hortons. She always got a little treat.

It’s been a little over two months since we brought Corduroy home and I can tell you, it feels like she has always been here. The two are growing to be best friends, which is wonderful. Corduroy idolizes Paddington, the same way kids do which I find quite amusing.

It took two months for Paddington to accept Corduroy fully. She was never ever mean to her, but was very tense and hardly relaxed when Corduroy was around. In the past two weeks, we have noticed a HUGE improvement. Paddington will even let Corduroy sit next to her and they have slept beside each other on one occasion (something I always dreamed they would do!). I can comfortably hold both of them on my lap now and neither of them try to squirm away because they other one is there.

We are still having problems with food – Corduroy is now tall enough to eat out of Paddington’s bowl and tries to at every chance. Since switching them both to high quality food, I haven’t worried about it as much, only because there isn’t much difference between the puppy and adult food as far as ingredients. And obviously, like children, each of them wants what the other one has, whether it be toys or treats. They are getting a bit better now about it.
