Meet my Sheltie, Taffy!
She was top dog in our house. After nearly 14 months battling bone cancer,
she succumbed October 30, 2005. She loved Halloween because she got to greet
the children that came to the door. She would even put up with whatever
costume we put on her.
She will be sorely missed!
Her feline friend, Yankee, pictured on the My Paw Print and Santa Paws
labels, sadly also succumbed
to cancer on
October 27, 2005.
He belonged to Taffy's groomer,
Aunt Kate. |
Meet our assistants!

Tips for making a great impression
of your pet's paw
Needed: vegetable
oil, paper towels, disposable bowl of water
-
Dip a paper towel in a small
amount of vegetable oil.
-
Wipe their paw with the
paper towel. The oil will enable you to make a better defined impression.
Also, the paw will be easier to clean.
-
To make a deeper impression,
it helps to have the pet standing.
-
Have a bowl of water on the
floor next to the container with the plaster of paris. After making the
impression, dip the paw in the bowl of water and rub gently. The plaster
will easily come off.
-
Wipe dry with dry, clean
paper towel.
-
If you want to hang the
impression after it dries, put a piece of a straw in before the plaster
hardens.
-
Make sure to leave the
container uncovered for 7 to 10 days. If it is more humid or rainy it will
take a bit longer. All the moisture needs to be out of the plaster before
you can cover it. If you cover it too soon the plaster will turn moldy.
