Come to the Pinellas Paws Cause party! Bring your whole family - pets included, of course! View the Pinellas Paws Cause portrait mural - benefiting the Animal Welfare Trust Fund - and meet the artist.

Tour the adoption center ($20 adoptions), $5 rabies shots, and have Fido's photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Paws. There will be a Food Truck Rally and much more.

Critter Pal is completely booked for dog visits over the holidays. We currently have a couple openings for once a day visits for cats, birds, etc., but those will also be limited to a tight service area due to our schedule.

That said, I have already had to turn down 3 prospective new clients. So if you have already booked my services over the holidays, please note that I will be enforcing my cancellation fees if you decide you need to cancel. My cancellation fee is 50% of your total service, so if your total was to come to $150 for the week, if you cancel, you will be charged $75.

I wanted to take a moment to let you all know that Critter Pal is completely booked for dog visits over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I will not be taking on any additional visits that require two visits per day. I can, however, fit in one or two cat or caged pet clients who only require one visit per day, and are flexible on the times.

Thank you to all for your continued support.

It has come to my attention that my blog posts have not been showing up on my web page. Please accept my apology if you have been checking regularly. Please continue to check for specials and local happenings.

Don't miss Largo PAWFEST this coming Saturday, April 2. at Largo Central Park, 10-3

Fun activities for both children and canines. This years Pawfest will feature:

- For the kids: games, face painting, clowns, food and rides on the Largo Central Railroad

- For the canines: “Dancing with the Dogs” talent show, dog training, K-9 demos, animal rescue groups and more

Doofus and I will be there ... Hope to see you all there!

So, it's already mid-October (can you believe it?) I want to remind everybody that NOW is the time to book the pet sitter for your holiday vacations. I'm already scheduling clients in for the prime time slots, but currently still have availabilities for both dog and cat visits. Open spaces won't last long though, so if you're planning on traveling, don't put off finding pet care any longer!

Beginning April 30, the Postal Service will issue a 44–cent, Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet stamp series.
