The newest addition

So I've been holding out on you kids a bit because I have neglected to tell you of a new addition to The Pet Cabaret family of animals. Currently we have Marley the 12 year old Cock-a-poo, Mary the 12 year old Mini Poodle, now the "newest" boy, 10 year old Topo Gigio the cat. Both Marley and Mary are rescue pooches. Marley comes from The Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA and Mary comes from Poodle Rescue New England.
And now, thanks to our pals at the Mass. Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(MSPCA), we have Mr.Topo.
He is a very good boy and adapting well to being a "working cat". He seems to love dogs and trots out to greet most every visiting dog that comes into the store. He plays with the smaller dogs very nicely and likes to "light up" bigger dogs by running by them in a big hurry. Our pal, Scott Dunmore, who is a wonderful dog trainer (617.892.5042 ) installed a kitty door for Topo and now he seems to know he can engage in this risky behavior and still get away safely. At least he has a hobby...Topo, that is, not Scott.

Nag, nag, nag...all you do is nag me.....

A reminder for those interested in attending the Animal Communication lecture on Wednesday, June 21st, at 7:00 PM. It is filling up, so please give us a call at 617.327.4211 or drop us an email at petcabaret@rcn.com to register. The last lecture was fun and informative and the readings were great, so feel free to drop by and hang out with us.

If you haven't done so already, it'd be great if you could vote for us as "Boston's Best Pet Store" at http://cbs4boston.cityvoter.com We'd really appreciate your vote.

And not to be a nag but...flea and tick season hasn't yet kicked into high gear so...while you still have a little time, we'd strongly urge all dog and cat owners to come in and investigate our chemical free flea and tick repellents by AromaDog and Quantum Herbal Products. Please consider a less harmful alternative (for your pet, for yourself, and for the environment) than applying harsh chemicals to your animal. We're finding our non-chemical choices to be effective and safe so please call us or drop by to check them out.

Quick updates

Hi there,

Just to let you all know a couple of things...The Pet Cabaret just got nominated as "Best Pet Supply Store" in the Boston area on CBS Ch.4. If you have a moment, it'd be great if you could navigate over to http://cbs4boston.cityvoter.com/CategoryList.aspx and cast a vote for us. We're under the "Shopping" category, in "Pet Supplies". We'd really appreciate it.

Also, due to popluar demand we are having our animal communicator, Janet Kennedy back for another talk. She'll be at The Pet Cabaret on Wednesday, June 21st, at 7:00 PM for a lecture and readings. Like the last time, Janet will do 15 minute readings for attendees after the talk. The talk is free, but the cost for those readings will be $25.00. The last talk was very well attended so please sign up early for this one by calling us st 617-323-7387.

Cleaning up after the kids

So we all know that living with pets is largely a very enjoyable thing. We love them, they love us, we play with them, we talk to them, we hang out...mostly all cool things, until we get to cleaning up after them.
Needless to say we should all be cleaning up after them on walks. It's just too easy to do. There are dozens of poop bag holders and many different types of poop bags. We sell quite a few at The Pet Cabaret and we don't even scratch the surface of the "world of poop paraphernalia".
For those with yards cleaning up is also an important, if not elegant chore. It's really an important thing to do as the weather becomes warmer. Disposing of dog doo helps keep your yard free of pests and disease and is an important step in keeping pets healthy. It's one of those things that just has to be done.
To make things even easier, there is a new service in the Boston area that can help out with maintaining pristine puppy territory and it's called Pup Cleanup. These lovely people come to your home and take care of your dog's "output". They'll pick it up and dispose of it, so you don't have to. They'll come on a regular basis or for a one time cleanup and their prices are resonable, so give them a call. There's no more excuses.
