Pet Portrait Session and Pet Hurricane Safety : St. Petersburg, FL

Ribbie, a 16 week old Absolutely Adorable, Cocker Spaniel!

Are you ready? Hurricane season officially began on June 1st. Make sure you have a plan for your beloved 'fur kids' if we become a target this year. The SPCA has a great article on their website to help you prepare. Here is the Survival Kit for your pets:

Pet Survival Kit

Have your pet's cage or carrier and a Doggy Disaster or Kitty Catastrophe Supply Kit prepared in advance regardless of evacuation requirements. Keep these items in a watertight container, insuring that they are easily accessible in the event of sudden evacuation. Be certain to label all items with a tag or waterproof marker. A pet survival kit is imperative whether evacuating or not, and should include the following items:

• Collar with tags & a sturdy leash and muzzle, if necessary
• Any necessary medications - 2 weeks supply
• Medical records & vaccination info
• First aid kit
• Food and water - at least 2 weeks supply
• Ziplock bags for treats and important papers
• Cat litter, pan, and liners
• Plastic trash bags to handle waste
• Newspaper and paper towels for clean ups
• Toys and other comfort items
• Photo of your pet

SPCA Pet Walk - Calling all Dogs!

WARNING!! This post is too long and may cause heart palpitations and/or a lack of getting back to work. It is strongly advised that if you have a love of dogs that you proceed with caution!

This past Saturday was the SPCA's annual Pet Walk in Downtown St. Petersburg. It was estimated to attract aver 1000 dogs and their people. We were there with Dig Dog Art in booth 31, meeting and greeting all the canines and observing the great costumes. They came as clowns, sheriffs, jailbirds, ladybugs, angels, bumble bees, and they came showing support for the Rays! It was stimulation overload for them as well as for me. You couldn't turn around with out bumping in to another cute dog!

It wasn't long before they were hot and tired. They found relief in water bowls, in the shade and by laying on mounds of ice.

It was a wonderful Dog day!
