It's Furry Friday - Louisville Pet Events and Services Galore!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Bluegrass Homes & Farms Realty, Agent Know How
 
Every Friday on our Facebook page, we have what is called Furry Friday, where we post a link to something interesting or informative about pets. Of course, it it mostly about cats and dogs, but not always! Today, there is just too much stuff so it's not too far of a stretch to include pet events and other pet information for Louisville KY and Oldham County residents in the Things to Do blog. So check it out:

Hand-in-Paw Safety


This company is located in LaGrange, Kentucky, so you can shop local, but you can order their products from anywhere! I've never seen such a modern, attractive website for dog products. They have "doggles" (goggles for dogs), Eco-Friendly pet stuff, reflective gear, safety gear, pet first aid & CPR classes, toys, treats - I could go on and on! Contact them at 1-855-CPR-4PET for more information.

Cute. And having a Furry Friday is a cute idea also.

Lynda-The "Bad Dog" looks like the dog in some of the TV commercials. I remember the black eye circle. Just can't recall the product. Great looking outfit.

Thanks, John, I wish I could take credit for thinking of that. I first saw it on Sarah Stelmok's website, and asked her if I could use the idea since we are in very different markets. Brenda (lead agent on our team) and I both love animals and I know most people in our market do too.

Wayne, this is one of my favorite pictures I've found on flickr. I was thinking I saw a similar dog in the TV show "The Little Rascals" (or something like that).

Thanks to both of you for stopping by and commenting. :)
