Shenanigans, Glamour, and a Hero

What’s Wrong With My Dog?

Sock Shenanigans 

You've probably witnessed it - the great heist - your dog snatches your socks. Many dogs prefer socks - well, usually not their own tiny socks to wear but your giant socks. While you may be inclined to flip out, this can actually mean a quirky-ish sign of love from your dog. The main reasons dogs prefer socks are:

• Scent - Your socks aren't that fresh after wearing them - downright stinky. But they are like a magnetic aroma to your dog because they smell like you and bonus if they are salty from your sweat. 

• Puppies - Socks can work great as soft teething buddies to help soothe their little gums. 

• Grab game - Socks are easy to grab in their teeth and lightweight enough to run to invite a chase game for more attention.

• Scrumptiously soft - Besides a soft cotton concoction, socks are stretchy which make them more fun.

Naughty? Maybe. Naughty with admiration? Most definitely. Take a deep breath when your dog grabs your socks - unless you need to wear them! Just make sure your dog doesn't try to swallow the socks because that can lead to digestive issues. The perfect combo would be a dog toy that resembles a sock as much as possible.

Ever see something and say, Wow, that's out of this world! Enter peridot, literally out of this world. While most gemstones form deep within the Earth, some peridot comes from space and carried here by meteorites.

In fact, millions of years ago, a giant asteroid hurtled through the cosmos and carried tiny green little gems with it. When it crashed into Earth, it delivered quite the gem - extraterrestrial period crystals. 

Whether from the Earth or from space, peridot brings an intrigue of cosmic wonder. Shine on, my friends.

Welcome new community members Gina and Hagrid!

This week, we introduce our new community members Gina and Hagrid. They share love and support, making everyone around them a little stronger and happier.

“Hagrid is a 3-yr old Irish Wolfhound. Hagrid joined our family with the hope that he would be able to be a therapy animal. As a family of true Harry Potter fans, we felt Hagrid was the perfect name. He is a huge, sometimes disheveled, gentle and most lovable character. Hagrid worked hard and became an AKC Certified Therapy Dog when he was 1 year old. He works with a non profit named Animal Assisted Therapy Services in Central Massachusetts. He loves going to work. He has assisted college students during finals, visited lots of nursing homes and hospitals, primary schools, as well as reading hours at libraries. We go where-ever we are needed. My day job is working full time at Elder Services of Worcester. We help keep our senior citizens living a vital and fulfilling life by providing services to them in their homes. Hagrid joins in the mission by assisting the staff by providing cuddles and love to all the staff.

Nothing beats a cold nose and warm heart when you’re having a “ruff” day at work.

When Hagrid isn’t working, his favorite place to be is on the Cape Cod beaches!! He’s a goofball and loves to run as fast as he can up and down the shoreline. Occasionally stopping to check out a crab or two.”
