It’s an unmistakable sign of spring – the melodious sound of the spring peepers! What is a spring peeper you might ask?  According to the Farmers' Almanac, spring peepers, pseudacris crucifer, are the most famous of all the chirping frogs. However, they’re not the only species native to North America. In fact, spring peepers belong to a group of frogs known as “chorus frogs.”

We spent a lot of time in the past helping to raise funds to unite a service dog with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor which had a very positive outcome. But just like humans, our pets can sustain trauma to the head resulting in traumatic brain injury, too. Head trauma is a medical emergency and can have far reaching health effects for pets. So now we want to raise your awareness of how pets can suffer brain injury and what to expect if this happens to your dog or cat.

Calling all writers and aspiring authors! A workshop designed to help you break into the Animal Book field is scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2018. By The Book - Animal Writers' Workshop will take place at the Oldwick Manor, Oldwick, New Jersey, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

We have good news to report regarding of our most recent current cause!  Service dog, Nia Grace, has gone home to Greg Costa, traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor!  It was a wonderful and long-awaited reunion, and we cannot thank everyone enough for the donations and support of this cause.

I recently had the opportunity to take a Pet First Aid and CPR Course.  Why did I do it? You never know when a pet emergency might arise, but you can be prepared. In addition to having the phone numbers handy of my family veterinarian, the nearest pet emergency clinic, and the Pet Poison Helpline along with my evacuation procedure, I wanted to take it one step further. And you can too! It only takes a few hours out of your day to arm yourself with the knowledge and ability to handle a pet crisis as it occurs and potentially save a life.

It's Valentine's Day and a time to share the Love! For many of us that includes our human friends and family as well as our animal friends and family members. But what's good for humans does not always translate well for our pets. The flowers and chocolate candy that bring us humans so much joy spell trouble for our pets.  Here's why:

It’s time for the Central Jersey Cat Fanciers sixteenth annual Cat Show! The event runs Friday, January 5 through Sunday, January 7, 2017 at the Sheraton Parsippany in Parsippany, New Jersey.
