Give us your emails

Next time you stop by make sure to update your files with your email address. We will send out valuable savings periodically throughout the year. The best part is when you are away on your vacation we will email you a picture of your pet! How cool is that, what a great surprise to open up your email and there in front of you is a cute picture of your best friend on his nature walk, or enjoying his ice cream and story time! We are also now offering online reservations! So on those crazy late nights when you finally have a minute to sit at the computer to accomplish things, you can really accomplish it all! No more writing yourself a note to call and book the reservation in the morning. Providing we have your current email address in our files here, you can go directly to our website and book via the web! http://www.bestfriendspetcare.com/

Bow Wow Luau

Young At Heart Pet Rescue had there Hawaiian Luau in our new dog park on Saturday, August 1st. A beautiful day, not quite as sunny as it would have been in Hawaii, but still a great day. Plenty of room and fun things to do. For more information on Young at Heart visit their website at http://www.yahpetrescue.com/events/index.html. We have a special foster area here at the Pet Motel for their cats that are up for adoption. For more information on the dog park please contact (847) 634-9444.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs

The weather channel gives new meaning to the old saying "it's raining cats and dogs"! As I am sitting in my office searching the web I am listening to the softest little whimper coming from the corner of the room. I look over and looking oh so adorable (as always!) is my border collie Toby. He has now been up for about 3 hours and we have yet to go for a walk! Boy oh boy is he mad! Toby is a typical smart border collie but thank goodness not smart enough to surf the web. The weather channel now offers a personal pet weather report. I can only imagine trying to convince him it really is going to rain out (you know, in about 8 hours!), as he turns and points to his personal forecast! It really is quite the neat little site, it gives you all the typical information you would have on the human side of it including the best time to go for a walk! http://www.weather.com/activities/homeandgarden/pets/?from=petsredirect Next time you have time you should check it out. Just make sure it is not interfering with the dog walk time!!
