Becky Robbins just made a generous donation to Pet Food Banks.  Thank you.  So happy to have you in my life again.

Ok, time has come to pull the trigger.  Things are magically happening.   A local pet store closed near us and gave us all the display cases we need for the front of the store.  When I went there I met a local pet store owner and he offered to put good quality affordable pet food into our store on consignment. I have cleared out enough [...]

I sent a wish/dream request to Ellen a couple of days ago. She is so compassionate and loves animals so much, I am hoping that she will see the beauty in what I am doing and get on board. Years ago I watched showtime search for the funniest person in America and they found Ellen. I am sure they had no idea what a gem [...]

So, we went back to 1800Petmeds last week, ah, two weeks ago. Tony called me and said that this time they had 50 boxes of bones for us. It turned out to be 48, which was more than plenty – at about 25 pounds a box, it comes close to a ton of bones that 1-800 petmeds has donated to help us get started. You [...]

You haven’t even seen our first generation of collection boxes, and I am already announcing our new ones. WHY, you must wonder. We haven’t even placed out the first boxes, and we have already retired them for the new ones. Here is they why – in visual format… First generation. and here’s the new one — click it to see it big. About two weeks [...]

An apology, a thank you, and my camera’s in the car. About two weeks ago Valerie Gaynor, 2010 JBHS teacher of the year , called to tell me that their pet food drive was completed and offered to bring the collected pet foods by the clinic. I had just put a new trailer hitch put on my van so I could use it for picking [...]

G’Day – I’m home from Christmas – Yes, I know Christmas is everywhere, but I went to Fort Lauderdale and spent the Eve and the Day with my son’s inlaws. I have heard that that makes them my inlaws, too, but I’m not sure that is works like that. But I must say, I am so lucky to have the Perezes as my extended family, [...]

Well, I got lucky.  A couple of days ago I sent my draft marketing materials to Dominique Calero.  Having a great big heart and much compassion, Dominique looked at the drafts and said, probably out loud, “This guy needs help.”  And she offered it. I chose to contact Dominique because she lives in my neighborhood and her website, http://inhouse-advertising.com, is so classy as to be [...]

Today was a great day.  I went down to 1-800-PETMEDS and met with Tony Planakis in marketing.  Through him, PETMEDS donated nearly 600 pounds of the Gourmet Dog Biscuits that we are using to start our holiday charity drive. Tony, thank you.  I hope 1Family Pet Food Banks and 1-800 PETMEDS have a long history ahead of us working together to make sure no pets [...]
