Pets: Let's Start the Discussion

The new issue of Delaware Pets -- with Wendy Rockle nuzzling one of her rescued horses at her Harbeson shelter -- is in pet-related businesses across the state. Now, the next step ... a blog about pets. A place for pet lovers to exchange ideas, to rant, to brag, to connect.

Let's talk ... about pet sitters. We're working on a story about them for our next issue. If you've had a good experience with one, let me know. If you're a pet sitter and you want to tout your business, let me know.

And here's a question for dog owners and vets: Greenies -- yes or no? One of my co-workers isn't sure what to do anymore. Her vet says they're safe and good for her two dogs, but she's been reading the stories about how the company is going to change its label after a number of dogs reportedly have died after eating them. The FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine is investigating nearly 30 complaints about the product.

Come back for regular posts from me, and pass the word about this blog -- and its Web address -- to other pet lovers.

Hi, Jill - just checking out your blog and saw that you want some input about pet sitters. There is a terrific pet-sitting business called Sunshine Pet Care run by Sandy Boyko - 610-357-4851. I believe she covers Hockessin, PIke Creek, Newark (in addition to Landenberg and other PA places.)

You actually met Sandy the other night at the Kirkwood HIghway Library READ session. She has a black lab named Keeley.

Hope this helps. Lynne Robinson
