Meet Picano, Our Newest Family Member

Can you believe the amazing powers of persuasion a 3 year old has over her mother?   That’s right…somehow Jenna convinced me that we NEEDED a fish.   We talked about it for days and days (and days) yet her determination and enthusiasm to get a fish never dwindled.  (She is 3 after all, and enthusiasm is limitless.)  Jenna would not be deterred by my educational reminders about having to check on, talk to and feed a pet without fail.  Finally, I gave in and we were off to our local PETCO store to find our newest family member.

We found Picano (pronounced peek-ah-noh) at our Clairemont store location.  Jenna had the name Picano selected before we even picked the fish.   I have no idea where she came up with it, but she was not about to consider another name for her fish.  Picano was beautiful Continue reading »

First, there was the story of Nubs, an Iraqi stray that found his home in a solider he just couldn’t leave behind. Nubs even trekked 75 miles of harsh desert terrain to [...]

Animal Jokes

Labrador RetrieverI don’t know if it is because I work for PETCO or because I’m a known animal lover but I absolutely LOVE that people send me pet related humorous emails. Knowing how they make me smile (and since I don’t have all our blog readers email addresses to forward an email …kidding) I thought I’d post a cute email I got this week for you all to share.

BTW, original author unknown. And if you like seeing silly things like this, feel free to leave a comment.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: “Talking Dog For Sale ”

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

“You talk?” he asks.
