I’m aware that there are tons of articles floating around in cyberspace about tips for traveling with pets. I even wrote a blog post about vacationing with dogs, but what about adding an injury to the mix? Sometimes you may have to travel with an injured animal (perhaps you’re moving) or maybe you want to take a fun trip! As long as it’s safe and healthy for your canine companion to travel (be sure to get the all-clear from your vet), here are some tips for traveling with an injured dog.
Meet Wynston at Strut Your Mutt!
Best Friends Animal Society is the nation’s largest non-profit sanctuary for homeless animals. Through kindness toward animals, their mission is to bring about a world where there are no more homeless pets. Aside from the incredible abundance of work that Best Friends Animal Society does at the sanctuary in Utah, the organization also puts on events nationwide to raise money for the cause. One of these fun, well-known events is Strut Your Mutt. I’m super excited to announce that this year Wynston will be a “celebrity dog” at the Strut Your Mutt walk in Phoenix, AZ, and you can come meet him!
Calm Your Pets Naturally With Zen Pets Hemp Oil + Giveaway!
Although Khloee has been in our lives since she was just three months old, separation anxiety has always been an issue for her. I partially blame myself because I’ve worked from home since I rescued her, so I never really had a reason to be away from Khloee for long periods of time. I can look back on “should haves” all I want, but the fact of the matter is my pretty Poodle struggles being away from me. I’ve tried all of the basic training and well-known tricks for aiding in cases of separation anxiety, and sadly nothing has worked for Khloee.
Hemp oil is becoming a widespread and credible resource for many different physical and mental ailments, so I was extremely excited to try Zen Pets with Khloee. Turns out, Wynston broke his foot so I’ve been able to test it out with our many vet visits. I’m not a huge fan of drugging up my pets (unless it’s absolutely necessary, of course) so a natural alternative was an attractive concept. Zen Pets is a quality hemp oil specifically made for our pets’ well-being to promote health and wellness.
#RememberTheRescue: Wynston Taught Me To Love
On this warm fall day, I pulled into the parking lot of Oasis Animal Hospital. Our weekly vet appointment for Wynston’s new cast was already upon us. I snuggled my boy into his chariot, and wheeled him into the clinic, the usual dog mom pep in my step. I checked Wynston in and spoke with our vet tech, Sonya, before releasing him to the back. As I sat on the bench, empty stroller in front of me, I began focusing on my breathing instead of the sounds of barking dogs and screaming children. Then, I did like any normal human being would do – I got on Facebook! I opened the dreaded, yet glorious social media platform only to come face to face with an article about relationships with dogs. And it hit me. I closed my eyes and imagined Wynston behind closed doors getting his new fancy cast put on. Then I imagined my life without him – my miserable, empty life full of sadness that I was living before Wynston dropped into my life. His presence has opened my eyes, mind and heart to the concept of unconditional life. On this #RememberMeThursday, I #RememberTheRescue Wynston. My son, my world, my everything. I want to honor him now and enjoy every single second I have this the creature who’s saved my life.
Our Lunch Date at the Dog-Friendly Ginger Monkey Restaurant
Recently I asked my friends for suggestions of local dog-friendly restaurants that they’d recommend. The keyword here is “local.” There are lots of places that welcome dogs on their patios but many of them I can go to anywhere in the US. I wanted to take Wynston somewhere new and original because lately I’ve been craving adventure. I invited my mom and Cooper for lunch at the Ginger Monkey in Chandler, AZ and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect way to ring in the fall season!
