Pierre Westie: “Two cats in New York City will be well taken care of thanks to their late owner. Troy and Tiger were left $300,000 for their care in her $3,000,000 will. She did not have any children and her cats were her babies. We are sorry for their loss but feel certain they will continue to live a good life.”

Bentley: “That should keep them in nip and litter for a long time. Bless their hearts.

   We have another happy reunion thanks to a pet being microchipped. Lola the yellow Lab ran away last year from her Dallas home. The family had given up hope of ever seeing her again when they received a phone call from the Dallas Animal Services. Lola had been found and according to her owner, she was fat and happy so someone had taken good care of her. They are thrilled to have her home.”

Pierre: “We can’t stress enough how important microchips are for pets. You can read more about them on our post, Microchipping Your Pet.

   I think we can all agree that dogs make great wingmen. Now we have some statistics to back that up thanks to National Today. They surveyed 3,000 dog owners about their best furry friends and came up with some impressive results. 

• 59% of men and 66% of women agree dog parents are sexier than non-dog people

• 67% of men and 79% of women say expressing outward affection for dogs is an attractive trait

• 64% say dogs help them to be more loving and patient

•86% love the comfort their dogs bring them

Bentley: “As you know, we pride ourselves in reporting good news but sometimes the real-world disasters must be addressed. Our hearts and prayers go out to our family and friends in the Houston area. We are sharing this link from BlogPaws™ that has animal rescues listed along with ways you can help. Please visit and help where you can.

   Let’s turn now to our Weather Lab who is just north of Houston. How are things looking, Paisley?”

Paisley the Weather Lab: “It is a devastating scene in the Houston area and where Hurricane Harvey made landfall. We are currently okay and hoping it stays that way. Your thoughts and POTP (Power of the Paw) will be appreciated.

   I would love to say that our area is in the clear but the south will continue to be pounded by rain and that tropical storm is slowly moving to Louisiana. That means you need to take your Relax and Treatibles, Bentley. Most of the southern states will have rain along with the east coast. There is a hurricane brewing in the Atlantic that deserves your attention. 

   Those of you on the west coast will have sunny skies and if you are in the southwest, you will once again be hot. The center of the country can expect a pleasant week. Our friends in the northern states are going to have nice temperatures and partly cloudy skies.

   More than ever I urge you to stay tuned to your local weather stations for updates and warnings. If you are in the area where flooding is occurring, remember to turn around, don’t drown!”

Bentley: “Thank you, Paisley. Our thoughts, love and prayers are with y’all. Please stay safe.
