The Pets Blog Week in Review for Aug 20-26by Courtney Mroch | More from this Blogger 27 Aug 2007 09:37 AM This week Aimee and I were joined by guest blogger Valorie Delp here in the Pets Blog. Here's what we covered on: Monday, August 20 Aimee noticed something amiss with Lally's neck so she referred to her pet first aid training in neck sores to tend to the trouble. Tuesday, August 21 Not to be one upped by his sister, Moose had to have a blog about him too. Aimee described his newest bad habit, which is a mighty yucky one indeed. Wednesday, August 22 In a three-part series, Valorie shared her Turtles in the 'Hood experience, starting with how she got suckered into buying an impulse pet, in this case turtles from a street vendor. In Part 2 she explained how, as a mother of five who home schools, she justified the purchase as the chance to turn it into a teaching lesson. Then in Part 3 she admitted that it was more than her children who learned a thing or two about buying and keeping turtles. Aimee had an update on their trip to the vet to check out Lally's neck sore. I bemoaned the disturbing support for Michael Vick that had recently come to my attention. Thursday, August 23 They were going ape over prehistoric fossils and baby gorillas on the BBC News website so I had to write about it. Friday, August 24 Aimee passed on a tip about free gifts for Dogster and Catster members. I chatted about pet photography with the owners (and personal friends) of Pet Portraits by Michael. Saturday, August 25 Aimee had another tip for pet parents, this time the end of summer sale at JB Wholesale. From the vault of the chaotic cat chronicles came the tale of how Mr. Meow and Tabby won over non-cat people. Aimee had some great suggestions for reusing a lost pet's stuff. Sunday, August 26 It was National Dog Day and the goal was to find homes for 20,000 shelter dogs and encourage both pet and non-pet owners alike to donate just $5 to their local shelters. Aimee tugged on my heartstrings (and perhaps yours as well?) with a bird story about the endangered osprey's struggle in New Jersey.
