Mid-Week Pick Me Up: Foster Kittens
I thought everyone could use a bit of a pick-me-up this week and what's better than watching kittens play? These are our new one month old foster kittens: Skeezix, Mr. Miyagi and Molly

Environmental Enrichment & Beating the Heat: Keeping your best pal cool & calm
As the summer finally starts to heat up, seeing the line out the door at JP Licks becomes a more and more common sight. And why not? They even provide tasty frozen treats for our canine companions. But if you're tightening the belt or wallet lately, you and your pets don't have to miss out. Below, I've included few ideas and recipes that will not only keep your cat or dog entertained, but also provide a cheap and cool refresher on those hot days of summer.
Kitten Cooly Discs
Needed: 8 oz plastic cups and your cat's preferred wet food
Fill the bottom of each cup with about 1/4" of wet food and freeze overnight. To remove, run the bottom of the cup under warm water and pop the disk out. Serve in a high-sided bowl.
PB & Kong
Needed: Your dog's favorite kong, sugar-less peanut butter, a few of your dog's favorite dog treats
Mix dog treats in with the peanut butter and fill kong. Freeze overnight. Serve and watch as your pup tries to work the treats out.
Do you have other fun-filled frozen recipes? We'd love to hear them!
