 written by Rob Roach on February 22nd, 2010 |  18 comments I occasionally have the pleasure of arranging the animal models for photo shoots. Nothing too glamorous, just a hamster for an ad paper here or a betta for a package label there. Small stuff really, and truly not part of my job, but I rarely turn down an opportunity to help out. I haven’t had any [...]  written by Lee Yanni on February 17th, 2010 | One comment I’ve always wanted Clownfish. I wanted them way before Finding Nemo came out, although I have to admit, I wanted them more after Finding Nemo came out… This whole marine aquarium adventure started because of a pair of Clownfish. They were in my friend’s tank, doing just fine, despite the fact that it was overrun with [...]  written by Kim Smith on February 3rd, 2010 | 11 comments photo credits – Nikki Audet and Deena Crouch “I love the snow!!! I love to eat it and do everything I can in it!!! Who needs LA… not me!” “Sleeping on my bed in the living room… snoring loudly! This is the life.” “I am getting ready to go to the store. I am going to get [...]  written by Matthew Hickerson on December 28th, 2009 | 7 comments It was the news no one wants to hear. My friend Sarah came over with tears rolling down her cheeks and told me “Stella has cancer”. As I pulled her in and held her, I could feel my chest tighten, my stomach was suddenly upset, and my vision blurred a bit as I tried to hold in my tears. I wanted to be [...] written by Kim Smith on December 16th, 2009 | 8 comments I have to say that raisins might be the most expensive commodity in my home this past couple of months. The problem is that I haven’t had the pleasure of consuming them for the $600 I’ve spent. A number of months ago, I harvested the grapes in my vegetable garden. In the process a number of [...]  written by Lisa Epstein on December 3rd, 2009 | 7 comments I get to do a lot of really cool things working at PETCO. I mean, Chihuahua races? Writing about heartwarming animal stories? Pet-sitting at the office? C’mon, it really doesn’t get much better. But, last week, I got to do one of the coolest things I’ve done yet. I spent a morning with Dick Van Patten. At his house. [...] 7 comments | Tags: animal lover, Dick Van Patten, Natural Balance | Category: Natural Balance, PETCO Stories |

 written by Devon Thompson on December 1st, 2009 | One comment Which piece am I going to knock over next? My husband and I have recently established a family game night. We turn off the TV, turn on the music and play board games or card games from our childhood. It just so happens that last night was our family game night and we were set [...]  written by Erin Smith on November 18th, 2009 | 9 comments 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.) [...] written by Erin Smith on November 9th, 2009 | 9 comments I 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 [...]  written by Brooke Simon on October 26th, 2009 | 4 comments When Jennifer Johnston, the general manager at the PETCO store in Kingman, Ariz., got involved with Mohave Companion Animal Rescue Efforts (CARE) Network, she didn’t expect the partnership would make her a regular at the local prison. A recent graduating class Through Mohave-CARE, Jennifer and store Dog Trainer Roy Hayes work with the Arizona Department of Correction State Prison [...] |
