Octo-mom wants a pig
So the infamous octo-mom Nadya Suleman wants to add a pet to her family.
She's thinking about a pig.
Is this lady serious? How about finding a job to provide for your 14 kids first?
(Check out the US Weekly story here.)
Anyway, PETA's gotten involved (which always provides for some sort of entertainment.) Check out what they had to say to Nadya here.

PetSmart Charities Spring National Adoption Weekend
Thinking about bringing home a new furry friend?
Adopt one!
PetSmart Charities is holding their Spring National Adoption Weekend this weekend, and the local PetSmart on Bradley Park Drive is participating.
I called and was informed it'll be going on Friday, 4-10 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. They'll have adoptable pets from all over the region.
Help PetSmart meet their goal - they're trying to find homes for more than 13,800 homeless pets.
For more information, click here.
Our local PetSmart is located at 1591 Bradley Park Dr., next to Target. Call 706-323-6788 for more information.

Can pets catch the swine flu?
Georgia vets to help service animals
More than 60 vets in Georgia plan to donate 10 percent of their gross receipts May 5 (next Tuesday) for service animals owned by disabled folks and pet owners with financial hardships.
Check out a short L-E post here.
Not sure if any Columbus area vets are doing this, but it would be worth asking them. If local vets want to participate, they can contact the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association office at 678-309-9800.

Happy (Belated) Earth Day
I apologize for posting an Earth Day-related thing a day after, but I found some great tips online for reducing your pets' carbon paw print - something you can do year-round.
Check out this piece from the Houston Chronicle.
Sprinkling yeast/garlic on a dog's food as a flea repellant sounds pretty interesting. Even though CeCe's breath could get stinkier, I actually might try it.

Pet airline ready for take off
Hey y'all...sorry it's been a while. I've been out of town/entertaining guests for the past two weekends and have been trying to catch up at work. The good thing is the first weekend, CeCe got to spend time with her "daddy" (my boyfriend was visiting from out of town - haha) and the second weekend, she got to run and play with other dogs at the kennel (my vet recently got the backyard fence completed.)
Speaking of being out of town, I came across some stories that a new pet airline is scheduled to launch this summer. Pet Airways, based in Delray Beach, Fla., will fly to regional airports in five major cities - NYC, LA, Denver, DC and Chicago. (Sorry, none in Atlanta.)
It's only for dogs and cats who don't want to ride in the cargo hold (or at least, whose owners don't want them to.) Average fare for each pet is about $250 each way.
Read more about the airlines here.
My question is...if this service was available at the Columbus or Atlanta airport, would you use it? I know I've expressed my fear about letting CeCe fly in the cargo area, but $500 to fly roundtrip? Those planes better have a four poster bed and Evian water for her!
