my goldfish ,"meatwad", died this evening. sad, I will spread the ashes @ round valley friday, which is usually pizza night.
My roommate and I took in a stray cat about a month ago. He's been doing great, his name is Tuckerman, named after the ravine.
Question for all you dog owners. What do you guys do with your dog(s) when you go on vacation? I have one pup now which I leave with my mom, but I want to rescue another and I think 2 would be too much for her. I don't have any friends to leave the pup with and I'm reluctant to do the kennel thing as my pets are like my kids and I want to make sure that they have the best conditions.

Some dogs are actually better with a partner so if your thinking rescue focus in on breed rescues more than your local pound.....Breed rescues really focus on home placement and the major component to that is the individual dogs personality....Local pounds are great and if you were looking for your first and only dog I would say go that route

I was lucky enough to find a lady who now comes to my house and picks him up at about 9ish, takes him to her place where he plays all day with probably 5 or 6 other dogs, feeds him with food and meds, and drops him off at about 6ish - just perfect. When I travel he goes to stay with her. It costs a lot but alleviates the additional stress of me worrying about him being at home alone - so it's well worth it.
She's in Weehawken so I'm sure that's not much use to you but chat with other people you see out with dogs during the day as I bet they have some great solutions.
Now our dog comes with us, he's a 60 pound Lab.
We put him in a nice kennel once......... did not go well at all.
Rock is a really nice, gentle, overly ready to please Yellow Lab, listens extremley well. The Dog melted down at the kennel... he refused to eat, then he got very nasty.................
the kennel called "you HAVE TO PICK HIM UP NOW", cut the vacation short, got the dog = happiest day in that dogs life. The dog put a dent in the car door from ramming it (trying to get in).
