			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just read about a <a href="http://www.wpxi.com/news/29543632/detail.html" title="Pet Owner Devastated After His Pug Was Mauled To Death At Verona Kennel">pug being mauled to death at a Verona Kennel</a> named <a href="http://www.tailwagsnat.com/index.html"><em>Tail Wags N&#8217; At</em></a> and I wanted to bring attention to them here.</p>

<p><em>Tail Wags N&#8217; At</em> has an open door policy where anything goes apparently. As my wife said, their website is a big warning sign for anyone choosing a kennel.</p>

<blockquote>
Tail Wags N&#8217; At is where every dog gets a chance. We will take any dog that needs daycare or boarding. No more worries that your dog won&#8217;t pass an interview.
</blockquote>

<p>Apparently the <em>Tail Wags N&#8217; At</em> staff left the dogs unsupervised and an aggressive large breed killed the defenseless pug while no one was around.</p>

<p>When selecting a kennel you can afford to be choosy these days. There are a number of highly regarded kennels to choose from. Go and visit the kennel in person, ask for references, etc. If it doesn&#8217;t feel right find somewhere else.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.eightdotthree.net/flickr/photo/257887273/DSC0299.html" class="tt-flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/103/257887273_dcd2bfeec1_m.jpg" alt="DSC_0299" width="240" height="160" border="0" class="right" /></a> After work on Friday Monica noticed that Pilar wasn&#8217;t looking so hot. The next morning she was worse, she wasn&#8217;t eating, drinking and was lethargic. Sunday morning we took her to the emergency vet and sadly she didn&#8217;t come home with us. Apparently she had a chronic kidney problem, and then she got an infection.</p>

<p>Pilar never missed a chance to annoy me. She would try to steal my yogurt, knock over half full glasses of liquid, jump on my lap just as I was about to get up and wait until I was asleep to come into bed, waking me up in the process. She had one last chance before she left, she stumbled over to the faucet in the Dr&#8217;s office and I turned it on so she could get a drink of water.</p>

<p>She was a good cat. The queen of our pets.</p>

<p>She was friendly to strangers, loved to go outside and loved junk food.</p>

<p>The house doesn&#8217;t seem the same without her.</p>
