Do you have trouble viewing emails with images? Then Pepper, our poodle boy, pictured at left, suggests you read the NewsPetter here.

We're proud to tell you this is the four-year anniversary of the NewsPetter. And this fall will mark the 5th year for FloridaPets.net. We have grown so much, due to the loyal support of all you good pet people. We plan to continue providing you with all that is pet-friendly in the sunshine state and hope you'll continue to "tail along" with us.

You can now bookmark the 2007 Pet-Friendly Hurricane Shelter Guide. We'll be posting more info as we get it and if you bookmark it now, you'll always have the latest to use or share with others.

Please welcome our distinguished guest contributors, Kathy Veder, BS, HTACP, CHTP, CEA, CFSP, Healing Touch for Animals Instructor and Nancy A. Slicner, Ph.D., ABPP, LtColonel, USAF, Ret. They're helping me provide lots of good info for you this month and I am grateful to them for sharing their expertise. If you have a review of a vacation spot or you'd like to write an article about your pet-related group, please contact me.

As always, readers, we want you to know how much we appreciate you and we welcome your comments and suggestions. Here's to another healthy and happy year for all of us and our pets.

SPECIAL NOTE: As of early this morning, our Calendar of Events was down. We are in contact with the host of the calendar and hope to have it back up soon. If it's still down when you check it today, please check back in a day or so.
