Hi,

Sorry I have not written in awhile but the last few weeks have been crazy. First my mom left me to go to Mexico with my two aunts! I freaked out at the airport when I had to say bye to her but I ended up having fun with Matt and his mom while she was gone. Also my leg is almost healed and I am slowly coming back to my active self BUT that is not the exciting news….

The exciting news is… Pawsh Dog Boutique and Salon and I have come together! Everyone who subscribes to my daily e-newsletter will receive a 25% off non-sale items coupon for Pawsh Dog Boutique! How cool is that? Make sure to sign up …. there are only more deals to come!

Hi Everyone…

Sorry for not writing recently … all I have been able to do is get the daily newsletter out since my injury. I went to the vet and basically if my knee hasn’t healed itself in two weeks then I have to have surgery! I am crossing my fingers that I don’t have to have surgery.. But for the next two weeks I am basically on bed rest.. so frustrating and boring. I also have to take some horrible medicine that my mom and roommate squirt into my mouth… ugh! Sorry if I am being a downer today.. just miss my active self!!

Limping But Still Going Strong

citylivingpuppy — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:06:28 +0000

I hope you all had a great weekend and valentines day! I know I did… until last night! I was running in the house and slipped. I slid all the way across the floor and hit the wooden steps with my back leg. It was loud and my mom heard a pop once I stood up. So now I am limping but in a few days if its not better then I am going to the Vet… I hope it heals on its own!

Here are a few pictures from my weekend.. AND don’t forget to subscribe to my e-newsletter!

Bo- Snow Doggie

Bo, the Obama family dog, plays in the snow in the Rose Garden of the White House, Feb. 8, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

This amazing photo of the Presidential pooch, Bo Obama, was released this afternoon. As you can see Washington is covered with snow and it looks like Bo, a Portugese Water Dog, couldn’t be any happier. There is nothing cuter than a puppy playing in snow!

If you have photos of your pup playing in the snow send them to backbaypuppy@gmail.com

A Dog Hotel and Spa…Oh My!

citylivingpuppy — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:39:10 +0000

The other day my mom made me go to Four Preppy Paws on Charles Street to get a fleece for our trip. While we were there they told us about their new dog hotel and spa! It sounds amazing. They provide transportation, boarding, daycare, and grooming. The facility even has treadmills for dogs who need more activity… we didn’t even know that dogs could go on treadmills! The place is called Dogwood Cottage. Here is a brief summary taken from their website as well as how to get in touch with them. To get the inside scoop on Dogwood Cottage make sure to subscribe to the C.L.P Newsletter…

Ask City Living Puppy…

Dear City Living Puppy,

Can you recommend a dog puzzle – or a place to buy one. Anna Nicole is very bored staying inside this winter. She only gets to socialize when she goes to doggy day care two days each week and so on the other wintry days she needs some activity.

Anna Nicole

Dear Anna Nicole,

Winter is the worst for us dogs! I have found some games/puzzles that are interactive and keep me busy! You can also (if your mom has time) have her throw a ball around the house for you to find or hold onto one end of a shoe tie and let you pull from the other. Now for the times when your mom has to work and can’t entertain you here are a few games to keep you busy. Below each game is the link to the website where you can purchase the game.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions you ever have! That is what I am here for!

1. Hide a BEE Hide Plush Puzzle

The instructions say:

Your dog will be most attracted to IQube if your scent is on the toy. To best transfer your scent to the toy, we recommend you place it in your laundry basket of already worn, but unlaundered and dry, clothes for a minimum of 12 hours before introducing it to your pet.
Next, introduce your dog to the squeaker balls by removing them from inside the cube and playing with them interactively with your pet for a few minutes.
Once your pet is engaged and interested in the squeaker balls, place the balls back inside the cube. Squeak them several times after they have been placed inside the cube, and let your dog go from there. After your dog has successfully removed the squeaker balls from the cube, you may replace them repeatedly for maximum fun, entertainment and skill development.
Most dogs also enjoy trying to get treats and other toys out from inside the cube.

2. Dog Magic dog game

This game is unique. It is a puzzle treat game from Nina Ottosson that allows you to hide dog treats underneath the bones. Dogs need to figure out how to get to the treats by moving the bones with a nose or paw.

3. Cagey Cube

Like the Original IQube, the Cagey Cube is a colorful big soft puzzle cube for dogs, but this one has cage bars on the sides, making it easier for the dog to see what is inside, and get the toys out.

The dog works to get them out, it keeps dogs amused and eliminates boredom.
Comes with a pyramid, small soft cube, ball, cylinder and jack that fit inside.
Entertains and challenges!
Well-made and durable.
6” Square soft cube has squeakers.

Tomorrow I’m sending out my first newsletter to all of those who have subscribed!! You wont want to miss out on my latest findings in fashion, food & fun.

New Site Design and Features

citylivingpuppy — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:51:26 +0000

I do apologize for not writing this week but as you can see my mom and I have redone the whole site. After installing and testing millions of Wordpress Themes my mom was still not satisfied with the design. Luckily the program Artisteer (Artisteer is the first and only Web design automation product that instantly creates fantastic looking, unique website templates and blog themes) was just released for Macs. Needless to say she designed five in the past three days and has barely slept but in the end she went with this one.

More importantly you might have noticed that our tag line has also changed. That is because we now have a free daily e-mail option for subscribers. We understand that many of you do not have time to read my blog every day or search online for reputable pet sitters, dog day cares, pet-travel tips, etc. therefore we have designed a way to still keep you and your pup in the loop! Our daily emails are short and sweet containing the latest pet findings you need to know.

What do you think?
