CHS ALUMNI UPDATE: Josie
"Josie is a lovely girl and has brought us so much joy over the last two weeks with her; She is a couch snuggling, counter surfing, bed sleeping, face licking, ball fetching ball of energy."
Happy long weekend! What are your and your pet most looking forward to this weekend? Maybe it's sleeping in, a nice long hike, visiting with family, playing in the river...? Tell us in the comments, or better yet - show us!
It looks like little Aliser has made a new friend back stage at Global Calgary! Don't you think they make a great pair? Scott Fee
The insanely handsome, Aliser, was our special guest today on Global Calgary. He has a bit of a feisty side, so today we talked about appropriate play and how this will create a safe environment for both pets and owners.
We're sure LOTS of work is getting done in your office this afternoon. Wink wink. It's almost the long weekend!

Time for a #FridayFact! Did you know that hamsters are solitary animals? Even though they're small and it might be tempting to put multiple hamsters in a single cage, it isn't recommended unless you specifically adopt a bonded pair.

CHS ALUMNI UPDATE: Claude
"Claude is such a great addition to our family and we love him lots. Evie cried when she first met him she was so pleased to have a kitty in the house again. Zac and Evie play with him lots and he has bags of kitten energy so loves his chase and kill toys and then just hanging out on the cat tree or wherever we are."

Meet Twizzler the corn snake! He was left all alone until he was found and brought to us. He's now looking for a new home. If fluff is more your thing, you might be interested in Luigi, Moguli, Tandis or Dojo! All are featured in this great interview from Breakfast Television Calgary.
