Meet Echo…

Echo a I met Echo a couple months ago when she was adopted by my friends Pamela and Darci. When I first met Echo I asked her what her breed ancestry was. She said she didn’t know because she never met her parents, but she would really like to find out what her heritage is. I asked Dr. Dallas if there was a way to find this out for Echo. He suggested doing a Wisdom Panel. So I booked Echo an appointment to have Shawna draw blood for DNA analysis. It was sent off and ten days later we received the results. The final results revealed Echo is a mix of three different breeds!!

So, down at the clinic I started a drawing for people to guess what three breeds they think she is. The winner receives a FREE bag of CET chews and some yummy Hill’s Science Diet treats. If you want to enter the contest you can email your results to astreetanimalclinic@gmail.com attn:Echo drawing. Pick three breeds from the list below. Be sure to include your name and number.

I’m so excited… this is going to be so much fun!!:)

Standard Poodle
Boxer
Great Dane
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Beagle
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Australian Terrier
Rottweiler
Labrador

Thanks for playing! Love, Mo

Easter Time!

This is me napping after my busy weekend

My friend, Gina, picked me up Friday afternoon to go to her house for Easter weekend. Their was a new addition to her family, Leroy. Oh boy did we hit it off. He is now one of my best friends. I am so glad that he liked me. I was real worried he wouldn’t want to be my friend, but he proved me wrong. We are both really pooped after our busy weekend of playing and finding Easter eggs together that I had to nap all day today. (Shawna helped me dictate this blog, -thanks Shawna-).

Although this looks DELICIOUS, I am NOT going to eat this and I advise the same for all other animals!!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter holiday. Remember… Easter baskets though pretty and full of yummy treats contain many candies that are toxic to dogs and cats. For example Xylitol, a common sweetener used in candy and gum, will cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver damage in dogs. I think that a lot of people know chocolate can be toxic. There are several reasons it is toxic which I don’t think a lot of you know. The high fat content can cause pancreatitis, theobromine can cause tremors and seizures, and the caffeine can cause cardiac (heart) arrhythmia. The darker the chocolate (ie;unsweetened cocoa powder vs. milk chocolate) the more toxic. So if your pet ingests any of these delicious treats you should seek veterinary care immediately and Dr. Dallas will know just what to do. Have a good week everyone.

Love, Mo

I’m Entering a Contest!!

This is a good angle for my cheekbones.

: Oooh look, how exciting!

I was reading this magazine I receive monthly from our distributor, Webster Veterinary, and they are running a contest for the best picture of a pet to be featured on their next PetPix page. Now I don’t want to sound full of myself, but don’t you think I’m pretty photogenic? Not only to mention my striking good looks. I’m going to let them know about my blog and have them take a look at some of my pictures on my Flickr account hoping that I’ll get booked for Pet Pix. I need ya’lls support so wish me luck. Thanks!

Love, Mo

This is me and my friend Brandy

P.S. I won’t forget anyone when I’m famous!

Mo’s March Madness

YAH - GO - GO - GO ZAGS!!!

Well, I sure hope some of you are college basketball fans out there! I have been busy trying to keep up with all the teams that made “The Dance”. My favorite team is the Gonzaga Bulldogs or more commonly known as the ZAGS! Everyone has their bracket up here at the “a” street animal clinic including President Obama! I am writing him a letter because he didn’t even pick the Zags to win the first round. I am hoping to turn him into a big fan! It is a lot of fun cheering for all the teams and watching all their fancy moves on the court.

I hope everyone has a great month and enjoys March Madness as much as I do.

Go Zags!

Love, Mo

It’s My Birthday!!!

I'm having a great time!!!

Hi Fans!!

March first was a big day for me; it was my birthday! I’m 2 years old now. My friends at the “a” street animal clinic had a little party planned. They brought coffee, milk, bagels WITH cream cheese (YUM), party mix, catnip, and PRESENTS!

I didn’t have much time to party because we were really busy and I had several patients to take care of in the back. I didn’t mind cutting my party short because I do love my job!

Thanks to all of my friends who have stopped in and sent me cards, I sure do appreciate all your good wishes.

Love, Mo
