Snow in Houston!?

That's right, in fact about once a week we get a healthy dose of snow here at Best Friends with our new little boarding buddy named Snowball!  Snowball, an 8 month old Bichon Frise, is a big ball of energy in a little package.  When he isn't running with the "pack" during playgroup, Snowball enjoys making new friends with the resident Greyhounds from our friends at GPA.  So while ya'll up north are probably fed up with the white stuff, down here we'll take all the "Snow" that we can get!

Employee Of The Week!!

Hello, my name is Jesmy.  I am a student at the University of Houston and my major is in Family Studies.  Next year I will be attending medical school to pursue my career as a pediatrician.  Even though I enjoy working with children, I also love working with dogs.  I am proud to say that I am going to celebrate my 2 year anniversary at Best Friends in March.  I started off as a playtime associate but now I am a certified play camp counselor and animal care technician.  The best part about my job is seeing all of the different breeds of dogs that board with us and enjoying the unique personality of each. 

One of my favorite companions is Oboe Pitman.  Not only do we share the same physical feature, long beautiful black hair, but we also share the same personality.  In her suite, Oboe is very quiet and only appreciates attention from a few people.  Every time she sees me, she begins to wag her tail with joy.  When she gets outside for playtime she marches to the beat of her own tune.  When oboe wants to play fetch, run around the yard, or just enjoy the scenery she does it on her terms.  The one thing she seems to enjoy the most is her cuddletime.  We both love cuddletime!   March in and visit us!!

Best Friends Pet Personals

Hellloooo Everybody!!! My name is Moon!  I spend most of my time at Best Friends in Houston, hanging out with my pals at Greyhound Pets of America!  My nick name is Moon Pie or Maggie Moon Pie.  But Moon is O.k. by me!  I am what you would call a female black brindle Greyhound.  I'm only 2 years old and boy oh boy am I still a puppy!  I think I would get along with just about anyone who is young at heart, kitties don't bother me much and 2 legged pups are cool too.  I'm full of energy so get ready!  My favorite game is Stop and Go but I'm much better at the Go part!  I love to go fast so maybe that's why I'm so good at riding in cars.  Come by and see me, I'm loads of fun maybe we can play a game or two together!

February is Dental Month!

Myles say's get your pet's teeth checked annually!

It's always good to have your veterinarian check your pets teeth during your annual check up.  Once your pet has reached about 3 to 5 years old, it's good to talk to your veteriarian about teeth cleaning, see if it's right for your pet.  Sometimes teeth that have not been taken care of might lead to bigger problems down the road, such as bad breath, teeth loss and gingivitis.  A good way to control good dental hygiene is by having your groomer bush the teeth during regular grooming appointments.  Also you can stop by and take a look at our wide selection of dental care products. 

Super Bowl Sunday in Houston!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

That's right Super Bowl XLIV is just around the corner!  And we have a "bowl" full of raving fans with us, unfortunately some family's like Jack and Penny are not seeing eye to eye on who the real champ is out of this years big game.  Who will it be Jacks New Orleans Super Saints or Penny's Indianapolis Crazy Colts?  I guess they'll have to see if they can get the game on in their Vacation Villa.  Fortunately other guests are just as crazy about the commercials and the half time show like Hershey, Ollie and Mulligan! 

Then again, what's more fun than sitting around, a bowl full of "pup"corn with a bunch of your favorite friends!  Jessie and Maggie were all about snuggling up and relaxing for a bit,  having been out in this great weather we had this weekend a nice nap might just do the trick.....but hurry up the game's almost on!!

Employee of the Week!

Hi, My name is Diana.  Im this week's highlighted employee!

I'm proud to say I have 3 sons and now a total of 3 granddaughters!  I have been with the company all together for about 10 years.  I can do almost anything here, I started off as a playtimer but now I guess my official title is Customer Service Representative.  All my life I have loved animals, when I was growing up I had 3 Chows, 12 cats, 2 ducks, 2 parakeets, 2 rabbits and a goat!  Just something about those babies I love, maybe it's the kisses!  Every time I come in I look forward seeing these special babies.

This is Tiffany; she is a red Shiba Inu. Like me, Tiffany has been coming here for years, she is 15 years young!  Like most old ladies she is very sweet and loving, but when she has had enough she will let you know!  She has been my sweetheart for 10 years now, and it's always so special when she comes in to visit me.  Her parents are also very sweet and are very welcoming, they make you feel like you are a part of their family.  And in a way Tiffany is apart of ours here at Best Friends.

Stop by and say hello, and we'll talk about your sweetheart sometime!
