Welcome to Paws and Play

Ever since I was a small child I have had pets. My mother recalls my teen age years as a time when she was a supporter of the Barrett family zoo, I had two rabbits which turned into 7 rabbits shortly after they joined our family, snakes, chickens, a dog named lover, cats, turtles, fish, two hamsters that turned into enough that we regularly supplied the local pet store with the cute furry critters, and the list goes on, My greatest dream was to work at the local pet store. The sole proprietor must have received requests such as mine daily and I never got the much coveted job.

Now I am 47 years old and sill have a menagerie A chiwawa, a border collie, two geckos and a cat. All are first loves. I used to have birds too, however I just could not deal with the mess and gave them to a friend who coveted them for years. She is very happy and I have a clean fairly allergy free home now.

I started this blog because I love animals and i seem to have a head full of information and advice for the husbandry of four legged friends. Depending on the day Ill talk about allot of things and may occasionally get off topic. My Border collie is a service dog so I have had experiences over the years that I would love to share with others. Interesting reactions from merchants to friends and how to manage introductions one must constantly deal with as a disabled person with a service animal.

For now I leave you but please check out the new we bite we have set up that offers the best custom engraved pet tags on the north coast. I may become not only a engraver for my pet tags I may soon become the west coast distributor.. time will tell.
