How am I going to do all of this without leaving Detroit? WATCH ME!

it is so god-awful hot here right now.
But, the city has provided some nice opportunities to cool down in case you are dying-literally-from the heat.
Working 9 to 5 in an office has never been so attractive to me in my whole life! Poor Peppi, I hope she doesn't get heat sick.

Speaking of Peppi, I'm having a quinceanera for her this July 24. I think it is going to be harder than I thought to put this party on with only supplies from Detroit. I am going to try my hardest though.

Love you!

MISSION: WHERE TO GET YOUR DOG/CAT TAKEN CARE OF

So, I have this fourteen year old chihuahua named Peppi. She is probably my favorite thing on the planet, besides shoes and chocolate mousse.

There are a bunch of really great places in Detroit to get your pet taken care of.

I take my dog to the Jefferson Veterinary Clinic. They absolutely RULE. The staff are super friendly, but most importantly my vet Dr. Alice is the nicest lady on earth and I have had no qualms about trusting my baby in her care. In fact, the dog seems to like her more than me!

The other major benefits to their office is the location, right on Jefferson Ave., five minutes from my house. And if Peppi is in the office for a minute, I can go over to the strip mall behind and go shopping while I wait.

They also are great because of their commitment to green living. They have a sunflower garden, and they have a solar panel on their roof, among other awesome green business stuff. You can read all about it here.

I have to say that when my dog was sick with a tumor Dr. Alice and her team were so supportive and kind with my freaking out self. They also are very tender caregivers in the kennel and I have had nothing but positive experiences with them!

I also heard great things about Canine to Five, which is a more centrally located dog day care center. They also have grooming services for dogs, and cats, not just boarding. For people with general needs for the pets, I bet this place is great!! If any of you have heard of other good veterinary clinics in town, please contact me so that we can put their links up on the site!!!
