Has it really been over three "wheeks" since I last posted? Well, yes, it has, and I have been busy! I've had two exams so far this semester in the pre-vet back to school thing and so far, so good. So, studying is taking up a HUGE chunk of time. But it is definitely paying off.
I am also still working with City Critters every other weekend and helping out at The Art Farm in the City when needed, so I am pretty crazy now, but very happy. Speaking of the Art Farm....if you have kids younger than 8 years old, the "farm" will be open 8am-11am this Sunday and I will be there helping out - and yes, I will be in costume! So, bring your kids ($15 per child, $5 per adult) and we'll have fun feeding the animals! : ) I'll try to remember to take some pix and post them so you can see all the fun we are having.
As for animal info....right now Drs. Foster and Smith is having a huge Halloween clearance sale and I've seen some good stuff in their cat/dog and small animal catalogs. So, take a look online at http://www.drsfosterandsmith.com/ if you have a critter that needs some supplies. Their prices on toys, treats, bowls, and bedding is usually the cheapest I can find, so it is a good place to explore.
Also, if you have a chinchilla or know someone who does, please tell them about the great folks at http://www.chinworld.com/. They have put together an economic "monthly pack" that will allow you to take care of your chinchilla for 30 days without hurting your wallet - and the brands on supplies they use are top notch! They know how hard some people have been hit by the economy and how much people love their chinchillas. So, they created this package so you can take great care of your little guy and not have to give him/her up b/c of the cost of care.
I've had a friend asking about where to get new food bowls for her kitties and it got me thinking about places that I've found some of mine. The best places have been online really, or small independent pet supply stores. I found my cat's current bowl set at a great place in Manhattan called Bark Place. It is on 72nd Street, between York and First Ave. It is a cute pet boutique, but mostly dog stuff. Check it out if in the neighborhood. There is also the Jumping Bulldog in Astoria, Queens (my stomping ground) on 23rd Aveue (around 27th/28th Street) for cute pet boutique items. Both are worth a visit if around the areas.
Well, that is all for now....until I think of something else!
