SEO (search engine optimization) writing, with live links, offers a writer very little opportunity to be colorful. My latest example: 19 Tips to Save Money on Pet Care. Every word counts when the goal is that readers Googling for info land on your client’s site. 

However, in honor of our sweet Sugar, who crossed over the rainbow bridge at age 16.75 years on December 30, I did tuck in pink satin bows here. :) Miss you, Sugar Maureen. May there be Thanksgiving turkey over the rainbow. Always in our hearts, Baby Poodel (we spell it el) Hurley. 

Fluffer forever.

13. Grooming Your Pet at Home

Shampoos, blowouts, and pink satin bows at the groomer are pricey, and keeping a curly dog coat from matting and knotting requires frequent visits. 

How Old Fluffer Is Doing with a Baby Cat

In answer to my cousin Lin who wondered (thanks, Lin) how Sug is doing with a kitten afoot, Sugar is doing fine.

She does sense that Skipper is spending A LOT of time in her room with tiny Nina. Sometimes I catch her looking wistfully up the stairs. I mean, Skip is spending every waking minute she can with her baby.

Louise at the Montclair Animal Shelter, who was very helpful, told us to keep Nina in Skip’s room for a few weeks, that it should be home base, esp with a 17 y.o. dog in the house.

Louise said Skippy should put the kitten crate down by Sug when she first walked in. Sug, who is mostly blind, immediately rose from her plaid dog bed to all fours to sniff the crate. She didn’t bark or even whimper. Diplomatic.

Nina, however, backed away from the grate Sug was peering into.

Everything seems okay, and I am grateful for that.
