Don't Kill Bill

On fine Sunday mornings in my coastal town, folks are out drinking coffee, walking their dogs. This is the story of Bill, or Mr Bill as everyone around here knows him, a Husky living in Florida, by way of Kansas City.


What a sweetie. Bill is such an individual that he stops traffic. He looks kinda out of place here in Florida, what with the big coat and the paws designed for snow, but he's so placid and happy, I think Jimmy Buffett is playing in his head. 

....wastin' way again in Margaritaville....

Bill is one cool dawg.



There is the idea that owners take on the personas of their dogs...or is it the other way around? In either case, Bill and his boss and buddy Rai are a perfect match.

Nice meeting you both, I hope it's not the last time.

Fun with dogs

Some dogs are camera shy.

Here's Bowie, a supremely well-loved chocolate labrador.


Bowie is a well traveled dog, a family member like all the humans. 

Here, Bowie! Would you mind if I took your photo?

Okay, fair enough. Hopefully I'll catch you next time. 
 

Communicating what I'm trying to do with Clean Floors for your Paws isn't always easy. 

But that's fine, I'm still learning that the message of making your house safe for your pets (and, coincidentally, yourself) by lowering the toxic baseline is an idea whose time is coming. 

That's something I'm sure Bowie knows.

A real Pearl

Sweet stories sometimes fall into your lap. This sweet story stars Pearl, a doberman pinscher, and her owner, Jim.

I found Jim and Pearl by sheer fluke, but we quickly became acquainted. Pearl is training to become a service dog, to spend her life helping a human whose life will improve by having her. Jim will spend six months with Pearl, ensuring she's accustomed to being in all kinds of situations, keeping the best interests of her owner in the front of her mind at all times.

Pearl is a very calm and disciplined dog, in beautiful condition, clearly very well looked after. She attracts lots of attention, but despite that you can see that she's focussed on what she needs to do.

I am hoping that owners of all dogs - service dogs like Pearl, family pets, or household mutts - decide to use my products to keep their houses as safe and non-toxic as possible. They're totally worth it.

Roger and Me

Meet Roger. Roger's a really sweet twelve-year old golden retriever mix...mixed with pussy-cat if his nature is any guide. He's a cute old fella.

His owner, Sue, didn't want to be photographed, and was quite dubious about me even taking some pics of Roger. People are so weird about this. All I'm doing is highlighting how nice it is to see well-cared-for dogs and cats, and how, if you want to, you can do a little more for them and for you.

Even Roger got bored with me at that point.

Rocky, the Miniature Poodle

Say hello to Rocky.

Rocky is my friend Tommy's miniature poodle, a feisty wee full-of-life pup.

Like many folks, Tommy found Rocky at an animal shelter, and instantly knew what had to be done. Rescue complete, Rocky now lives in a loving household. And all he wants is to have 24/7 fun.

Bounder the Stealth Watchdog

It's a dog's life.

This RV and its owner I see around town all the time. I didn't know he or she had a pet dog as well.

Thinking I could have a chat, I knocked on the door. But no-one was home. They might have been swimming, being, as we were, at the beach.

So I don't know the dog's name, but he's very trusting. Not a bark from him. Perhaps he's a stealth watchdog. I think I'll call him Bounder.

Mouseover

There's a new pet in my life, and it's not furry. It's black and chrome-coloured, about the size of a nice atlas, (without the weight) and connects without wires to the internet.

It even has a mouse, although not the regular one Moneypenny is familiar with. That doesn't stop her wanting to play with it.

Very smart, my cats. I am sure yours are too.
