Cliff and I attended the annual Pet Fair at the Trailside Museum in Mountainside, NJ on Sunday, May 7th. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing many of our loyal customers and meeting new
friends!
We handed out tons of natural food samples and educated all who stopped at our table about the benefits of feeding their beloved pets a diet of wholesome foods, snacks and nutritional supplements.
We also loved spending time with our buddies Gail, Nick and Billie
from IMPS - Internet Miniature Pinscher Service, Inc. (www.minpinrescue.org)
and Carolyn and Pattie with Cascade Beagle Rescue East (www.CascadeRescue.org).
But, by far, the best part of our day was meeting and spending time
with our new best friend, Baxter, a 5-month old Beagle baby rescued
by Cascade from a West Virginia gassing shelter last week. He filled
our day with sunshine each time he stopped at our table to check
our supply of Dogswell Chicken Strips! (BTW: if you are interested in
filling out an adoption application for Baxter, check out the Cascade
Beagle Rescue site.)

We at "Bama's" helped the animal victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last month by assisting in the collection of and arranging for the transport of pet food, snacks, crates, towels and bedding, toys, water, bleach and medical supplies to New Orleans, Louisiana.
Working with NJARA (New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance) we helped
moved several pallets of supplies from volunteers' garages to a
trucking facility in Middlesex, NJ. These supplies were then
trucked down south to the Muttshack animal rescue organization and
distributed to many grassroots animal rescue groups working in the
New Orleans area.
Thanks to all of you who gave so generously! Above are some photos
of Cliff, Melissa and myself packing up the supplies at the loading dock in NJ.

| | The Dog Whisperer - Cesar Millan
My mother, Linda and I had the opportunity to meet Cesar Millan on Saturday, October 1st. What an honor to meet "The Dog Whisperer" himself!
We presented Cesar and his wife, Illusion, with "P.A.W.S. Pets in America Without Shelter" bands, which they immediately put on. They said they would wear proudly to show their support of homeless animals everywhere.
Cesar adopted three extremely aggressive "Hurricane Dogs" left homeless in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. These dogs are now living at his Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles with some 70+ dogs, all of whom used to have aggression issues like the three new dogs on the block. According to Cesar, the three "Hurricane Dogs" are coming along nicely and adjusting to their new West Coast lifestyle -- and extended doggie family!
