So Trick or Treating was cancelled tonight due to snow and power outages all over the state. NH/Mass got slammed pretty hard with snow, we had about 6 inches of the white stuff, but you can already see the grass! So we will be trick or treating next Sunday night and maybe it won't be so cold!
So I got a new to me flip camera and tried out a clip with Tinkerbell, posted it up on facebook, and it was very easy to do!! I tried a couple times here and the site kept hanging up, every time I tried to load it up. But i will keep trying because this blog is going to be going on the journey of all my new adventures with me, and what better way to see it then throwing out some video clips as well!
Big things are coming and soon, we are all super excited. So just keep following!

Snowed In on 10/30/11
Yes it does happen in October, I used to get made to wear my winter jacket over my costume and I wanted to scream I was so mad! Guess I am going to get that as well tomorrow night?
The power went out last night around 11:45pm Spent the night cozy in my bed surrounded my a 10 year old, and furry animals! I was sweating it was so warm here! The power came back on around 10:45am this morning.
Tink went outside, and was ready to come back in the snow was a bit chilly on her toes. Last night she liked jumping around it though.
She is curled up in front of the wood stove and perfectly happy to watch her boy.

Snow is coming as is Halloween, dangers lurk out there!
So today in Mass and NH we are supposed to get between 2-10 inches of snow! Yes it is only the 29th of October. I do remember trick or treating in the snow when i was younger so I do know it is New England and it can happen, or I can wait 5 minutes ;)
But with a snowfall we are not full ready for, and a dangerous holiday for our pooches and cats let me give you some pointers!
-If your door doesn't open into a fenced in yard, be very careful with your door bolters or other pets who might try to get out, not that it is good at any time, but with snow, cars can't slow down, people in the cars might not be able to see your pet, and the plows are paying attention to removing the snow. As well as people not seeing your pet over the snow or around the snow banks, please be extra diligent about making sure your pet stays inside the fenced yard or on leash!
-Snow means your pooch has more to stand on and can possible get right over your fence! Make sure your fence is clear so they can't just walk out!
-The salt and sand that gets on your pooches feet when you walk them on roads can irritate them (and can get in your bed) I keep unscented baby wipes by my front door as well as a towel to clean and dry off the paws before coming inside!
-HALLOWEEN candy, KEEP IT OUT OF REACH!!!!! I have a very resourceful dog who can open cabinet doors unless they are baby proofed! Make sure your kids don't sneak candy and leave it where your pooch can get it as well!
-If your door is going to keep getting opened for the kids out getting candy, lock your kitties in a room so none get spooked and run out!
Halloween time starts the busy season at my office for making pets vomit up things that they should not have gotten into!
Remember any amount of sugar free gum can really damage your dog, don't let people put there purses down where your dogs nose can find it and get in trouble!
I love this season, even if there is snow, so remember to think so not only you but your furry family can enjoy it as well!
Love ya,
Jessie

First Blog, New Place
Hi Everyone, Welcome to Pixie Dust Pet's Blog! I am Jessica and I am going to take you on my adventures in Pet care raising my own and working with yours!
I train my dog daily and she teaches me lessons in life, my cats just want me to feed them clean up after them and be there for a place they can snuggle.
My Kids are TJ age 10 and he is driving be crazy in his preteen years going to be 11 in December and boy is he letting me know it. Tay, she is 6 going on 36 all girl yet she is a tomboy and tough.
The pets who let me take care of them, Tinkerbell or DesertWillows Pixie Dust a 4 year old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, from http://www.desertwillowaussies.com/ (You can't get a better Aussie from anywhere else). Kelty a 10 year old long haired orange boy who I adopted from my work, after his owner couldn't take care of him because he blocks from crystals in his urine. Tigerlily a 2 year old kitten who is probably a Ragdoll, she is my daughters and lets her do anything to her including dress her in doll clothes and walk her around. I also adopted her from my work, she was in a litter of kittens found on someones property abandoned. Then we have Spikey a Cockatiel that again I got at work as he was found flying loose in the town I work in, then we have some Beta's and a 20 gallon fresh water tank in my sons room.
So I have mentioned my work, and you must be wondering where is that? Well I work 38 miles from my house in Waltham MA at Kindness Animal Hospital (like us on facebook!) I have been there since October 2008, and they quickly became my family. I love everyone I work with and what I do. I used to live closer but had to move and would drive even further because the drive is the only thing I don't like. What do I do there? Everything and I am sitting laughing, my job title on my cards is Assistant Office Manager, but we have 3 Vet's and then 8 of us for a very busy practice. I Vet Tech, stock, clean, book appointments, schedule the doctors, take care of the animals, monitor them, deal with the sales people, deal with the staff, deal with everything and I LOVE IT!
We have a sister kennel or doggie daycare, where Tink can not wait to get to every morning! As an animal hospital and I guess I am tooting my own horn here, we are amazing. We are in a very old building and so we have that to deal with, but we have some of the smartest Vet's and best staff, along with being able to do a lot of our work in house, we do use an outside lab when needed. But we are like a family and all work well together and we treat the pets like they are our own, we were just brought cookies from the mom of a dog we euthanized a few weeks ago who was 15 and not doing well, she wrote us a long letter how we all came outside to say goodbye that she was amazed how we all knew her and loved her. Because we do love our clients pets we try to treat them all like they are our own and yes we will cry at euthanasia's.
We try to help with behaviour and to teach our clients how to fix things with out medication, and really listen to what is going on.
I am branching out and with a couple of great friends have started walking dogs, cat/dog house sitting, some boarding.
And I am breaking back into dog competition, so be ready for lots of news, pictures and updates with all the new things happening here!!
