* Cartridges that fit the Drinkwell fountain are the only "for sale" item on this page
as of December 9, 2011.
I love cats and dogs.
I am including links for cat and dog rescue organizations, recommendations on my dogs favorite toy (the kong ball, made in USA).
I can get giant tug ropes or kong balls, but they would be a special order item. There are so many pet stores that do not sell dogs and
cats and deserve your business. Animal Rescue site offers dog and cat toys in their online store, and the profits from
those sales benefit animals in shelters and rescue organizations. I just choose not to compete. However, rescuing is expensive, so
I will try to post the best money-saving tips for keeping you and your dog or cat happy and healthy. Might even post
my design for the ultimate litter box guard, easy to build or modify a cabinet, and my dogs can no longer raid the box for crunchy snacks.
BlueLine Dynaflo I Cartridges by Hagen have been replaced in our inventory with US made cartridges by Ginger.
Test the quality - email and ask for a free cartridge, specify 1516, which fits your Drinkwell pet fountain.

Click to feed rescued animals.
The Animal Rescue Site. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click
on the purple box. I click it daily. Their
advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate money/food
to animals in shelters. They also sell really cool stuff on their site that benefits shelters. I shop there
Pass their web address along to people you know.

Why are all of my dogs black? Because 3 out of 4 are rescues.Because black dogs are euthanized at about 3 times the rate
of any other color of dog, so they are more likely to need rescue.
Prize-winning border collies are a mix of black and white,
border collies stuck in the pound are usually black. 2 of the dogs in the picture are at least partly border collie.
On the right, Spike is half german shepherd, I met his mom and dad when I adopted him and his sister. (I do not buy puppies.)
Gracie, second from the right, could be full-blooded border collie.
After an 8 month war, I could not get her to trust people enough to socialize and not try to bite visitors to my home.
I loved her, she loved me, but there was something broken inside. No one knows what a rescued dog has been through.
All I know is that when she was here she was loved, she slept in a crate indoors at night, had a big yard, nice brothers,
lots of toys, training that was loving. But I have grandchildren. And guarding the food and biting is not ok, so I had to
return her to the shelter.
Border collies are obsessive compulsive by the way, amazingly loyal,
super smart, but not your typical puppy for a family with young children and busy schedules to train. They are a working breed, with boundless
energy. Once trained and if their temperaments are stable they make excellent pets and companions.
Spike loves playing ball
with my grandchildren. His sister was the same. (I needed room for a rescue and Val was
easy to find a great home for. The rescue dog was impossible to place due to heartworms. Val just had a vendetta against cats.
Remember obsessive - compulsive, a cat attacked her when she was a puppy.)
But I had Spike and Val from the age of 6 weeks, and they were not abused. Well except Val, by my daughter's mean cat.
Rescue can be very emotionally rewarding. Some great dogs get in tough spots, just because
they get too big, their family can't afford them, a new baby displaces them. But it is always somewhat unpredictable, and probably
not for families with young children or toddlers. Gracie was at the pound for 6 weeks, adored by all of the volunteers there,
but she was fairly property destructive when a volunteer took her home. A crate, a place a dog can call its own, is a big plus,
so I made sure I had that. Doesn't mean she didn't eat some of my clothes, the vacuum cord, etc. But the property damage is also
normal for a dog that is stressed, a new environment must be tasted. She was so funny.
She would get my shoes and put them on "her" loveseat. (She displaced Bronx within a week, it was his). After I scolded her for
chewing on a shoe, she never chewed another one. After a couple of weeks she quit collecting shoes and moved on to other prizes.
She had to taste everything ONCE, scolded, sometimes only once, she would leave it alone. I still miss her. But I have a toddler granddaughter
who could not come to visit safely with Gracie here.
Bronx is a rescue from the same pound Gracie came from. I adopted him in January 2009. My first rottweiler. No one warns you.
They are like cats. They like laps and belly rubs and soft pillows. Totally unexpected. Great with the kids, patient.
Great with the cats. He's a keeper! When he came he had bordatella and we got acquainted as I shoved pills down his throat every
12 hours. Reward after the pill: homemade chicken soup on his dry dog chow. Did I mention he was 18 months old when I adopted him. Big teeth, but he was
so sick, we got through it.

Why are all of my dogs black? Scroll down and read.
The perfect couple. Bronx thinks he's a cat,
Alex thought he was a dog. Rescued from different pounds, these friends from death row parted when I found Alex a home
to make room for a litter of kittens I couldn't find homes for right away.
