PetFolio Readers Alert: SPCA Needs Your Help!
The SPCA of Northern Nevada has an excellent opportunity to provide much needed product to Northern Nevada Animal Rescue Groups.
We are looking for 3-4k sq. ft. of warehouse space to be donated for 1 year.
We will need access for a Semi-Trailer to unload.
Office space is not neccessary.
Electricity would be lovely.
This could be a great partnership with the right property.
If you have any ideas or leads, please call Meredith at the SPCA 775.324.7773 x 206

PetFolio Publisher in Puppy 101..self study!
What's the secret...? Puppy introductions, puppy training, puppy analysis...?
So, we are on day THREE with our new adorable, gigantic, five-week-old puppy named Milo. Witmers have never been so in love with a brown, soft teddy bear puppy.
So far I have discovered when he learns something, I learn something.
For example, we are both learning crate training for the first time. Milo likes the treats and general calm in his carrier. I like the moment to myself with no fear of the thimble-sized mistakes around the house!
When Milo the pup is good; he's amazing. Like today, he stood by the door to go outside for the FIRST time, waiting for me to see him. Unfortunately that wonderful moment was followed by about twenty mini mistakes in the house, in about 11 minutes. (Yes, that IS possible after a very thirsty pup overindulges.)
But the first two days, Milo had NO MISTAKES in the house. Go figure.
Unfortunately I do know that Milo is growing, bigger by the minute. At fourteen pounds now, he is a hefty bundle to carry around the house. Gotta get him trained quickly. No piddles and no chewing the furniture! Also I have given up on my daily workouts until he gets settled in. Better be before I outgrow my favorite jeans.
----
Wish me luck with more crate training tonight!!! Last night I slept on the floor with my pillow at the base of his crate; Milo slept in almost two-hour increments with the door to his crate open. My favorite moment was around 4am when I woke to Milo looking eye to eye to me, seemed like he was saying "why don't I get a pillow?" I moved my head to the side a little, and he stretched just his front end out of the crate to rest his brown furry face on the pillow right next to my head. We slept like that until my husband Bruce swept in at 6am to take the puppy outside. I lay motionless catching up on lost zzzzs. We are truly kin!
Right now Milo is sleeping beside me. Back to looking like such a little, soft, sweet cutie. I am on high alert for signs of life; then I will carry him outside in the cold for quick potty-time.
Wonder what we will both be learning when Milo wakes up?!
