 51 comments  Listen up, humans! Buster here. Welcome to Dear Buster, my personal blog. I’ll be answerin’ questions every Tuesday from you and your pets. I’ve got a group of geniuses I’ll call on for expert advice. It’s genius, I know. If that’s not enough, I’m also on Twitter @Petco. Just include the hashtag #DearBuster. What [...] 2 comments (as told by Paul Jolly, Executive Director, the Petco Foundation) Years ago, I met the very best dog in the world.
Her name was Hope. She romped when I did and knew how to smile in that funny way that only some dogs have. She grew up with me and helped me grow up.

It offered a very sterile environment for hobbyists with stark white crushed coral gravel and coral pieces.At the time, my room was created with a black and white theme- white walls, black futon sofa, black and white photographs including an over-sized black and white photograph of New York City. Considering the decor selection available at the time, it was only fitting that my 75 gallon tank was decked out in the black and white motif as well. It was a black tank with a black stand and a black canopy. White gravel covered the bottom and bleached white coral filled the inside – had it been a living room, there would have been no red wine or grape juice allowed! The tank’s occupants were Continue reading » 7 comments | Tags: aquarium, aquarium design, aquarium fish, aquariums, building aquarium, fish in aquarium | Category: Guest Blogger

Teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash is a complex behavior. There is a lot going on (you, your dog, holding a leash, watching for a loose leach, giving treats) all WHILE you are walking, too! Most of us have a [...] 2 comments   Out for a Walk by Petco Associate Deri Pritchard After a particularly hot and humid summer, there’s nothing more refreshing than when the air turns crisp and the heat is finally OFF!
