Did You Know...

That there is a museum for animals? Ok, not 'for' animals but about animals and society? Thanks to Community Member, Lisa Taron, I found the museum online at National Museum of Animals & Society where they "Explore the human-animal bond."

Here's their mission statement: "The National Museum of Animals & Society is dedicated to enriching the lives of animals and people through exploration of our shared experience. To this end, NMAS promotes interconnections with the animal world."

Pet Peeves

I've been thinking about pet peeves - and thought I'd share some. I bet you have some you can share, also. Add yours in the comments section.

For me, my number one pet peeve is people who think that because I feed my dogs and my cat grocery store food I'm a bad pet parent. My pets have always eaten grocery store food. All my pets have. And, I want the world to know that all of my pets have lived long and happy lives. None have suffered unduly from eating grocery store food. Mind you, we do buy the higher end food. Not store brand.

It really astonishes me that people think pet food companies aren't interested in the health of your pet. Seriously? They would not be in business long, if that were true. I know that my pets are extremely healthy (my veterinarian will attest to that) and I trust the pet food companies. You don't have to. I'm not saying that. I'm saying... just because I do, doesn't make you better than me.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

BlogPaws wishes everyone in the pet community a happy, happy, happy, happy Turkey Day! That goes for the two-legged folks, too! Mwah!

 

 

You Are Going to Be in Denver...

The Grand Hyatt Denver is located at 1750 Welton Street – which happens to be a stone’s throw away from the 16th Street Mall! 

The mall is home to 300 different stores, over 50 restaurants, and the Denver Pavilions; needless to say there are many sights and attractions right within walking distance. Another Great thing about the mall is that it is now a wireless internet hotspot where users can log in anywhere along the street, for FREE!

City Park is a few blocks directly east of the hotel and has the Denver Zoo & Denver Museum of Nature and Science right in its borders.

Near the southern end of the 16th Street Mall is the Golden Triangle Museum District. Segway tours are offered of the city, or there is the bicycle option for those more adventurous characters.

You have plenty of fun things to do, on your off time. Don't forget to share - pics, stories, and adventures.
