Tested On Humans First

20140611-tested-on-humans-first
The co-founder of Paul Mitchell, John Paul Dejoria, has created a line of pet care products including this foaming shampoo and various wipes. He was recently a keynote speaker at the American Animal Hospital Association’s (AAHA) annual conference. I heard great things about his lecture and I just think the “Tested On Humans First” tagline on these products is pretty cute.

I really like the waterless foam shampoo, the feel and smell of it is really nice. I currently use a good spray conditioner on the pets in between baths, but I’ll try out the JP foam shampoo and see how it goes. As far as the wipes go, they’re good but I simply have no need for them. There are also some tea tree oil scented products that I think smell great, but I’m not as keen on them for fear that they might encourage pet owners to believe that tea tree oil has mystical powers that will cure any skin ailment their pet has or might have them think they don’t need to visit a veterinarian.

I didn’t receive any free stuff or money for writing this post.

Dobie Selfie

On the left is Drake, and I am in love. Drake is a 112 pound Doberman who is tall, lean, and gorgeous. Drake’s nuclear family consists of two dads who seem equally as sweet and interesting as he is.

When it comes to bigger dogs, Labrador and Golden Retrievers are one of my favorites but I really like Doberman Pinschers. In general, they are smart and sweet. Despite their seemingly intimidating stature, they are usually good with people and pets.

On the right is Gar’s dad’s former Dobie, Daisy, with Loki and Rowan at our home. She was a lot of fun to be around and was so cute with our dogs.

Hug Your Cat Day

20140605-cat-hug-day
Yesterday was national hug your cat day (real thing) and I was trying to get a photo with both my cats but they were extremely unhappy about the event. I just wanted one picture with both of them to add into a collection of photos that I had compiled for a cute little project for the day. I could only get this one photo before kitty jumped ship. It was bullshit, normally they are so nice and snuggly with me and the one time I ask something of them they tell me to fuck off… I guess that’s cats for you.

Republic of Dog

I had Loki at work with me and decided to get a picture of him sitting under his own picture in one of our exam rooms. When I looked at the photo I laughed inside, imagining it as a propaganda poster for some authoritarian regime. Yet, Loki is too nice for an authoritarian regime so this would have to be his presidential photo for the venerable Republic of Dog… or something like that.
