Shop Spotlight: North's at Pet Camp!
I've alluded to my fave home-away-from-home for my lil guy in other posts, but I've never taken the time to explain why I love it so much. First off, North's practically a celebripup at Pet Camp – I think his hyperactivity must be pretty impossible to forget! I always feel comfortable dropping him off there and I know he's having a blast.What's he doing you ask?
Send a Pooch Packing for Summer Camp?
Besides Wag Hotel, I know I've mentioned before how much I adore Pet Camp here in SF where North stays when I leave town. And after reading the current issue of Modern Dog Magazine, I want to send him to a real pet camp now, too!
The Double Dog Ranch was featured in this season's issue of MDM, and I can't get enough of the happy pooch pics on their website!
Banished From the Bash?
I hosted a Christmas party at my house on Saturday night to catch up with old friends before we all went our separate ways for the holidays. Now, North enjoys parties as much as anyone else I know (two or four legged), but I made the decision to bring him to daycare on the morning of. You see, he adores company so much that I worried his desire to meet-and-greet would cause unfortunate party fouls involving Pomegranate- Champagne Punch and my microsuede couches.

No Wonder They Call It a Pup Tent: Tents For Dogs
OK, OK, I admit it: I'm a city gal through and through, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate nature! So many of my pals are taking off for camping trips this Summer, which leaves North and I here in SF to take in the beaches and day spas alone (oh, darn). But if we were to head out into the wild (or semi-wild .
Do You Leave Music on For Your Pets?
Not only are pets great companions, we now know what good therapy having a pet can be. Petting our furry friends, or even just watching our fishies swim around their tank can lower our blood pressure and reduce the risk of a heart attack. But as much as pets benefit humans, I can't help but wonder how we can help them in return.
Bare Bones: Earthbath Grooming Wipes
If you are planning an outdoor trip this camping season, you know that you're in for a bit of a dirty (possibly smelly) pet while you're away from the luxuries of your groomer or bathtub. So how do you keep your shrub and mud loving pets clean, or at least keeping them smelling that way? As nice as taking a dip in a freshwater river can be, it's not always the best way to keep clean.
Happy Howl-oween: Lucky Dogs Get Loot, Too
Have you planned your Howl-oween party yet? Even if you're not having all your furry friends over, consider treating the special pets in your life to a goodie bag just for them — think of it as treats without the tricks.
North has a couple besties from Pet Camp and doggies of my friends (and, of course Samson), so I picked up some Halloween treats to hand out.
Do Tell: What Are Your Go-To Cool Off Methods?
In California, it's not unusual to get some pretty hot temps in September, and last weekend was no exception. LilPeaPod took Samson camping for the first time, and not only was he totally overwhelmed with nature, it was also super hot. It's pretty well known that smooshies don't do well with heat or swimming, so taking a dip in the lake was out of the question.
Get Up and Go: Bring Friendly Reminders For Your Pet
I've got travel on my mind since I just returned from a super-fun wild adventure! Now, I'm waiting 'til next week to share my details of swimming with dolphins and snorkeling with rays, but it was def sad leaving my lil pup at home. Way back when I picked up North from the breeder, she suggested I place one of my unwashed tees on his bed in the crate so he'd get used to my smell and feel snuggly and sleep better.
Do Tell: Speakerphone + Pets Equals . . .
Though North now spends my mini vacays at Pet Camp or Wag Hotel, when I lived in NYC, I'd usually just bring him up to my parents' house to stay with Gamma and Gampa. The first time I left him was on a long trip to London, and I called often (and I mean often) to check up.
One day my mother put me on speakerphone to talk directly to North – I guess my silly pup ran all around the room from the phone and to the door looking for me!
