My Fish Tanks

75g Freshwater
75g Freshwater

People around the office often refer to me as a “fish geek”.  I take this as a compliment.  When there’s a sick fish, or someone has a tank issue, I usually get a phone call.  I’m also asked why I don’t have a tank in my cube, and usually I say it’s because I already have enough pets and 2 tanks at home. 

As much as I’d like to invite everyone over to look at my fish, I don’t think my little house has the capacity.  So I thought I’d show everyone a few pics of my tanks.

Animal Cruelty?

I am the king…not the princess! Ugh!

One small person in our house is about to celebrate her birthday…and that means party! (For clarity sake: party – 3 year old style!)  Oh yes, there will be silly hats! You just can’t humiliate a 3 year old dressing them up in crazy attire; [...]

Flyball

The following blog post comes from Ally Lantis. Ally is a dog trainer at the PETCO store in Corvallis, Ore. and recently graduated with an Animal Science Degree.

My two Border Collies and I participate in flyball and every chance I get I try to educate people about the sport in hopes of recruiting more flyball dogs!

When I ask most people if they know what flyball is they reply, “Isn’t that when people throw a ball with that chuck-it thing?”

I usually laugh lightly and say “No, that is just fetch. Flyball is a Continue reading »

When I first started working at Trupanion over a year ago and told people that I worked for a pet insurance company they looked at me with glazed over eyes and asked “Pet insurance? What is that?” Continue reading »

Straight from the Cat…

While cleaning beneath the sofa (my cat Leo’s favorite hiding spot for toys and other items he ‘steals’ from around the house), I stumbled across a note.  I always knew cats were curious and fantastical creatures, but I couldn’t have imagined this:

Every day seems to run the same course.  I wake up after a long night of sleeping beneath the dark confines of the sofa.  My eyes squint open and my ears perk up as I hear the trample of feet passing me by.  :::Grumbles:::  Mom storms past me with the briefcase that I so love to paw around in each night.  I’m precisely positive she hasn’t a need for it, so I don’t understand why Continue reading »
