Since the time I could walk, I've had a love for animals. I've shared my home with many pets over the years and feel a house is just not a home without one. Or two. Or more!

I'm a geriatric nurse by profession now, but I was always involved with animals in one form or another. My first job was at an animal shelter. From there I became a Vet Tech. I was also involved in German Shepherd rescue with a group due to my love for the breed and sadly, the need for such a service. (There are MANY breed specific rescues as well as general animal rescue groups out there. A great site to checkout is Petfinder.org)

Although I'm not directly working in the animal field anymore, I'm lucky that my job allows me to bring one of my dogs to my assisted living community. Winnie, my rescue Pekingese, is adored by all the residents. She visits with them daily and works her own special brand of medicine on those that need it. From a dog found roaming on the streets of Philly with mange and a broken jaw, she's blossomed into a happy, healthy, affectionate girl with an important "job" she performs well!

We all like the best for out pets. After all, they're considered part of the family. That's what brought me to the development of my store. There are thousands of toys and pet products to choose from out there. Some are better than others. My goal is to provide pet products that are top quality so you don't have to weed through the inferior or same old boring stuff. I'm constantly searching for unique items for both pets and their caretakers offered at affordable prices. If I don't list a product, its because I wouldn't use it on or give it to my own dogs and cats. Its that simple!

Please check back often. I'll also be including a monthly newsletter to view at this site with info on a variety of pet issues as well as detailed info about some of the pet products you can find in the store. (Click on the Pet News & Info link near the top of this page.) Feel free to email me concerning the pet-themed gift baskets if you have an idea for one that you don't see listed.

Thank you and feel free to email with any comments or suggestions!

Lori, Winnie, Lily the GSD and my cats, Kitty and Murray
