Carl's Emergency Surgery!
by cody & carl on 07/28/11
As many of you already know, Carl has been fighting the battle of the 'bulge'
He was down from 36lbs to 33.8lbs in 3 months but his weak back end & his weight finally paid a toll on his left knee
Yesterday while sitting on the porch, he saw a squirrel & descided to chase it, he went about 40ft & yelled out in pain, he was 3 legged from that moment on
I took him to vet ER ASAP, got pain med's but he was still in pain, so first thing in AM we rushed him to Blue Pearl in Northbrook & without hesitation descided to hand our precious Chub Chub to surgeons
Well the worked on his knee socket, repaired his completely torn ACL & did some other houskeeping on that knee, he is still in Hospital today, but he is doing well & eating (of course!)
We pick him up today after work. Now we have 6 wks of keeping him quiet & not licking his incision...
Ahhhhh Peace at cody & carl's house!

Well it's always bitter sweet, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful sweet loving house guests & wish them luck in their new lives, I get choked up just saying that, as hard as I try, I get attached, we clean their poops & pees hour after hour & I get in their pen with them 3 times a day to give them my Foster Momma love but always experience incredible joy & love from them, these sweet innocent creatures, no matter the breed, they all give love unconditionally, an undescribable feeling, without fear & judgement....I love dogs

Does your dog have skin issues?
by cody & carl on 01/16/11
Well it could be allergies or just dry skin, either way put coconut oil in your dogs dinner & in a week see improved behavior, less irritation & in 3 weeks a luster to your dogs coat like you have never seen before!
Pure Breed Puppies need Homes!
by cody & carl on 01/16/11
I have been really struck lately with how many people are not aware of Pure Breed Rescues
Yes.....there are hundreds of thousands of puppies, pure breeds, that are unwanted. Many of them are just baby pups that were a surprise litter from unresponsible dog owners that didn't fix their dogs
How to find them? Simple.....Go to Petfinder.com (see logo to the right on this page)
Once on their site, just type in breed, gender & age you are looking for, and many RESCUE for that breed will pop up, if you put in your zip code, you will see many of the rescues are closer than 'breeders'
Lets all be part of the solution to over population, give RESCUES a chance, stop shopping for a dog, rescue today
Also we highly recomment Animal House Shelter in Huntley, Illinois, cody & carl's blvd is a huge fan of this shelter, we know first hand were donations go & how they are spent, the animals receive the best care and the volunteers have hearts of gold.

Love, Cody and Carl
Chico is recovering
by cody & carl on 01/12/11
We reported about our customer Chico being attacked by an owl (see his story at top of page) & he lived to tell about it, he believed his Gooby Harness Bomber jacket saved his life!
Hang in there Chico!
Sloppy Kisses,
Cody, Carl & Hope

by cody & carl on 10/21/10
Well, our Mom descided to help 9, yes 9...puppies that lost their mamma & were homeless, we agreed to it! I, Cody really like being in charge of them, on the other hand carl doesn't acknowledge them, he has even gotten sulky, Hope, my sister is ticked off, she will not even follow mom to see them.....
These pups will be available for adoption in Mid-November when they are older & have had all their shots, ouch!
See their web page for all the puppies updates
