BTC #46 - with Pets for Patriots

Several weeks ago I saw an article forwarded from Pets for Patriots. Ok, I was curious about this organization. So, my first thoughts were that they are assisting in the placement of service dogs with vets with PTSD. Well I was WRONG. Isn’t it interesting how we see something and automatically “know” what is is without doing further inquiry? Another reminder to be present and not on autopilot. After reviewing their site, I contacted Beth Zimmerman, the Founder, Executive Director and CEO.

From their website:

Pets for Patriots’ mission is to consistently give the gifts of fidelity, joy and companionship to both pet and person through honorable companion pet adoption.

Did you know that It’s the 50th anniversary of Poison Prevention Week, and it’s a reminder to discuss how and what can poison our pets. From the foods we eat, the medications in our cabinets to the plants in our yards. Check out our first article for some interesting details: Poison Prevention Week: How to Keep your Pet Safe. Always a great reminder that we are different beings. So, do you think you have great taste in music and your pets enjoy listening to it when you take out your ear buds and actually use speakers?  While I can be found listening to Motley Crue, the Beatles, Chris Isaak, Meatloaf (yes I’m dating myself) it turns out that: Animal Psychologists Discover Pets Prefer Their Own Music. Will this mean a new categories on Amazon and iTunes? Dog- Large. Dog- Beagle, Cat- grey, Hamster- wheel in the sky? (I couldn’t help myself with the last one.) Any thoughts on how soon we will see this?  Finally a look at the 5 richest pets: Who are the world’s richest pets? Have you set up a trust so your pets won’t be left behind like the old TV in the closet?
