Importance of Annual Exams and Dental Cleanings
|
Caring for your beloved Brittany takes commitment to good food and health. Preventive care and a solid relationship with a trusted veterinarian can increase the longevity of your pet by catching health problems early when they are easier to treat. Annual dental cleanings can be an important part of preventive care. Prophylactic dental cleanings get rid of bacteria and plaque which can be a source of pain and infection for dogs. February is National Pet Dental Health Month take a moment to "lift the lip" and take a look at your dog's pearly whites; tartar, gingivitis, and plaque could be lurking there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SIENNE
|
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the folks who helped us acquire our sweet Sienne. I'm sure I probably missed someone and I'm truly sorry. If any of you who receive this know of someone else who was involved, please forward this to them to let them know how much we appreciate them.
 I had promised Ms Duncan some updated/more recent pictures when I could so I'm including a few with this email. These were all taken on Wednesday 4th. We were kind of in a hurry so I didn't get as many good shots as I would have liked, but I think these show just how well she is doing and how much she is loved by both Bobbie and me. We had just clipped her on Sunday 1st. We usually keep her clipped pretty short all except her leg feathers.
We've had Sienne now for a tad over three years and she's doing so well. We lost our beloved Tippy this past year but up until then she and Sienne got along great together. Where Tippy was much more extroverted and loved to play and retrieve Frisbees, Sienne is much more laid back and loves to be close to one or both of her people.
She's not much for playing with toys and doesn't even know the word 'retrieve'. She is very soft natured and will go totally submissive (almost afraid) at even a loud voice. The fire crackers/fireworks at holidays are terrible for her so we usually give her a "Benedryl" during those times to help her relax.
All in all, she's doing very well, is very healthy @ 40lbs, and loves to run across our backyard any chance she gets. Oh yeah, she loves to walk on leash with Bobbie in the afternoons as well. She will point and stalk lizards, squirrels, and the occasional Opossum or raccoon as they travel along the outside of our chain link fence.
 At any rate, hope you all enjoy seeing the pictures and hearing my brief description. We couldn't love her anymore than we do and again...many, many thanks to all who had a hand in helping her get to us.

FOOTBALL MANIA SUPERMATCH!
|
Will you be watching the Superbowl and like the possibility of winning money?
If so we have a fun and easy
fundraiser for ABR that should interest you.
Our annual FOOTBALL MANIA fundraiser is starting now until the
end of January.
Many of you know what football mania is all about but for those who don't...it's a fun and easy way to help raise funds for ABR while giving yourself (if you buy tickets) and to those you sell tickets to a chance to win money each quarter of the Superbowl.
Tickets are $5.00 each with ABR receiving $3.50 for each ticket sold!
Your odds of winning are better then the office pools because they have removed the number combinations that are least likely to occur!
The odds to win money are 1 in 14. Not bad...not bad at all!
If you would like to help us sell tickets please contact Julie Thomas at
[email protected]
For more information on the event, or to purchase tickets online, click here.
Please share this with your friends and family! The more tickets we sell the more money we have to help save Brittanys in need!
Good luck to you all!
