I love my dogs so, so much. I even watch the Westminster shows, animal planet, and lovvvve those dog and cat commercials on TV. Stella always runs up to the TV and barks, while Chloe goes to the window and gives a companion bark, not knowing it’s about the TV commercial.
I also take them with me on many of my fashion shoots. Most of the time, they don’t come out that great because they move in and out of focus. I don’t really care ’cause I love them, but my hubby photographer sometimes gets a sad-happy grin when it happens, he tries to be such a perfectionist! I always notice my smile and eyes get bigger when I see pictures of my pets!
You all know that I adopted Chloe, and later Stella, from the Los Angeles Westside Pet Shelter a few years ago. They are an intricate part of my family now. We take them just about everywhere. On flights to Miami and New York, car trips to San Francisco, Palm Springs, and once, cross-country from LA to Miami. My dogs are not just pets, but family. I’ve experienced kindness, compassion and love from my four-legged family members. Pets always have a zeal for life, no matter what happened 2 hours ago. Every morning, they jump on the bed and are crazy happy to see us awake. They are so smart, that they do not lick our face or give us kisses, until we open our eyes and call them over. Yep, dogs are smart!
As with all family members, I always want to keep them at their best. This is why prevention is the key to a healthy dog. I swear, I spend more money at Chloe’s dermatologist than I do in skin care for myself! Chloe is half Maltese and half Havanese. Her Maltese side is very allergic to bug bites, shampoos and airborne pollen. She gets 1 or 2 shots of cortisone every year to help relieve the allergies. Stella is half Lhasa Apso and half silky terrier. She does not suffer from much. Because of this, I’m always on top of their flea and tick care. Not that they have any, but like my Vet says “flea and tick products help not only with those bugs, but also against many other pests bites, and in Chloe’s situation, against any allergies caused by bug bites”. It’s preventive, and that’s why I’m very principled to applying flea and tick topicals every 30 days. One thing I love is the Adams™ Smart Shield® applicator. The award-winning Adams™ Smart Shield® applicator comes free when you buy Adams™ for Dogs Flea & Tick Spot On® at WalMart. I love the ease of use, just pop in the flea and tick tube in the applicator, close it, apply on the back of the pets and done. No mess, no fuzz. When finished, just open the applicator and flip over so the spent tube falls into the trash can, what more can you ask for?
Flea and tick outbreaks are triggered by changes in temperature and humidity, often catching families off-guard and vulnerable to infestation, for this I also use the Adams™ Flea & Tick Cleansing Shampoo, and Adams™ Flea & Tick Spray for prevention. You can never ever be too safe.
