I often hear Mummy talking to her friends about ‘pet parenting’ and how they pamper their pooches. They discuss a galaxy of canine vitamin-enriched foods, motion-sickness pills, behavioural psychologists, anti-stress treatments for separation anxiety, cosy coats for cold weather, health insurance, puppy pre-schools, pet nannies and doggie daycare - all of which keeps us fit, happy and sociable.
As for me, I’m particularly fond of beautiful bling encrusted collars. Mummy reckons I have more collars than she has necklaces. She has my selection lined up on a row of hooks that daddy made. Oh yes, daddy’s in love with me too!
I go everywhere with mummy. I love parties, shopping and chatting, having a puppy chino at the local cafe or sipping filtered water in Light Common. On weekends and holidays we always find dog-friendly places to go. If mummy can’t take me, she just doesn’t go.
I’m excited to see the flowering of goods and services in Mawson Lakes to pamper pets and record our every cute moment.
Amy Iles has established a business in Mawson Lakes called Impressionable Kids where she will take a mould of your paw and frame it beside your photograph and memorabilia, to record forever your personality. She uses the same method for dogs that she uses to mould children’s hands and feet. Take a look at www.impressionablekids.com.au. This would make a perfect Christmas present to give to your loving family.
