While our hearts remain sad and heavy in the aftermath of the tragedy in Newtown, we are still grateful and overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness, and goodness of most people. Most of us feel joy by making other people happy without expecting anything in return and that is what I feel like announcing the winner of our Sleepypod mobile pet carrier giveaway.

The response to this product was incredible and I wish I could win the lottery so that I could get one for everyone who left a comment. Unfortunately I have yet to perfect the act of picking all the winning numbers (let alone even one or two numbers on one single ticket), so the best I can do is give away the one generously offered by the wonderful people at Sleepypod!!

I was supposed to announce the winner of our Sleepypod giveaway today, but you will have to forgive me, as I just can’t find the mental capability at the moment to deal with the everyday moments of life. Like the rest of the world, I find myself in profound pain as I struggle with the incomprehensible events of the Newtown Massacre. Read more

We introduced Zee & Zoey’s Calendar for a Cause Contest on Thanksgiving and we are so thrilled with the overwhelming response we got from all of you to nominate your favorite shelter for a chance to win $250.00 courtesy of the wonderful team over at PetCareRx – online leaders of pet medications and pet supplies. We are so thankful to them for giving us the opportunity to help shelter animals have a better life and I give them a huge and heartfelt round of applause.

There is no doubt that this world is filled with many generous, devoted, caring, and incredible people who volunteer endless hours and money to help animals in need. While there are many gratifying moments for them, it is also a very hard, sad, and often overwhelming cross to bear. We wish for a day that no animal had to suffer and that all of them had wonderful and loving forever homes. Until then, all we can do is our best to try to help these amazing people who dedicate their lives tirelessly to making a difference. Read more

I shared a post on Saturday about how incredible it was to see Zoey play and groom with Kizmet as if he were one of her own litter (if you missed it, please be sure to click here – it really was a very special and heartwarming story). She is a mother at heart and despite not immediately liking Kizmet when we first brought him home, her maternal instincts were so strong that she felt compelled a couple of short weeks later to interact, bond, and share important behavioral lessons and manners with him. On this Wordless Wednesday, I am thrilled to let you know that Dan was able to capture one of those moments on video as Zoey turns an overly aggressive playtime with Kizmet into a loving and nurturing grooming session.

As most of you know by now, we just adopted a rescue, our little Kizmet, who has blessed our lives in ways we never imagined possible. We wish that every kitty could be adopted and have a furever home, but until that happens, it makes us feel good to know we have an opportunity to help a shelter by providing a $250.00 donation courtesy of the very generous folks at PetCareRx! The clock is ticking to help out – the contest ends at midnight, PST, Tuesday, December 11th and all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what shelter or rescue organization you want to nominate(501c3 U.S. shelters only) and you will be entered to win the random drawing !!
