Petco’s recent National Adoption Reunion (held Oct. 8 and 9 at Petco stores nationwide) was my first national Petco event. Just recently joining the Petco team, I was quickly initiated with the whirlwind of activities that surrounded this special weekend. What immediately struck me was how invested and involved everyone in the Petco family was with the adoption theme—everyone was so hopeful that hundreds of pets would go home to warm, happy, loving homes. The National Adoption Reunion Weekend itself was exceptional with (drumroll, please) 4,453 dogs and cats finding their fur-ever homes. It took the work of hundreds of people to achieve that number–from in-store Petco associates who encouraged people to come to the event to the hundreds of volunteers who helped during the event to the rescues who brought the thousands of cats and dogs to our stores. And, most important, it took you. Continue reading » 4 comments | Tags: adopted pets, National Adoption Reunion, Petco event, rescues, Think Adoption First | Category: Events
5 comments  Dogs having fun at the pet snow park. A Snow Day in the Summer? My dog thinks it’s cool! My pup Petey got to play in the snow in the middle of August right here in sunny Southern California. How is that possible? Last Saturday Unleashed by Petco in Chula Vista held a “Summer Snow Day”. A truck delivered huge cubes of ice to the store’s parking lot and transformed them into snow with the help of snow machines. The end result was a leash-free snow park for dogs. When it was Petey’s turn in the snow park, he ran right in and started playing with the toys, licking the snow and digging around with his paws. He had such a blast! Here in San Diego we don’t Continue reading » Leave a comment
I looked down by my feet to see big brown eyes and a twitching nose staring back up at me. “Oops mommy“, the face seemed to say. Yes, my bunny learning curve is slow and, since I started fostering Hef about 6 weeks ago, I’ve lost a mouse, a keyboard, almost a phone, and now a pair of headphones to the sharp little bunny teeth. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Continue reading » One comment Halloween, or Howl-O-ween as we like to call it, is just around the corner.

Leave a comment I’ve never been a huge fan of reptiles. I’ve always just seen them as slimy creatures that would surely do something to upset me if I interacted with them. photo courtesy of TiGeRWiNgS PhotoGraphy on Flickr. However, since working at PETCO, my opinions have slowly transformed. Touching a gecko for the first time [...] 2 comments Did you know that after birth, guinea pigs can walk immediately?

4 comments I’m a San Diegan and I surf. It took me a while to figure it out so it impressed me to no end last Saturday at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition when I saw dozens of dog pulling off this tricky feat. There was a small dog, large dog, and human & dog riding together category. For the most part the dogs loved it. They got to romp around in the ocean with the person they love the most and get lots and lots of attention. What more could they ask for. Here are a few pictures from the event. I stood in waist-deep ocean water for an hour to snap these pics so I hope you enjoy them. =)  Just a little push to get started Continue reading » One comment  Volunteer Polli Lillard, Beso, Red Ruff, Officer Tiffany Mushet, and Clive. Photo courtesy of County of San Diego Department of Animal Services. Beso and Clive - Adopted 4/19/2010 For the seventh consecutive season, PETCO’s Adoption Sundays at PETCO Park are in full swing! I have to admit, it’s my favorite part of the baseball season. During every Sunday Padres home game, PETCO is sharing their commitment to Think Adoption First by partnering with an animal rescue group to bring adoptable pets to PETCO Park in hopes of finding loving, forever homes for them. Already this season, PETCO has partnered with several groups, including the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services and San Diego Labrador Rescuers. I am so thrilled with how Adoption Sundays are going so far! We had so much fun with Clive and Beso from County of San Diego Department of Animal Services and Yogi and Chester from San Diego Labrador Rescuers. During the first adoption Sunday of the season, both Continue reading » |

A couple of weeks ago, I had my headphones on and was happily chair dancing to a little Echo and the Bunnymen when all of a sudden the music just stopped. I looked at my ipod and it was still on. I checked the volume on my headphones and it was in the full volume position, carefully set to drown out work distractions. Then it dawned on me… With both hands, I picked up the cord from where it draped down from my desk and it came up in two pieces.
