Sam and I were kidnapped and taken to the vet this Saturday. It was not a pleasant experience at all. Don’t get me wrong the people working there are so nice but who likes to have a stick (thermometer) stuck, you all know where, not me, not Sam? Sam was told he was fat!!! LOL, I like how our humans said he is a Main Coon and big boned. Right he is 4 lbs overweight! Me, well my weight was perfect a little bit on the slender side but I am a girl.
The main reason I wanted to blog today was to let everyone know that when we cats and dogs get nervous we sweat. Our sweat glands are located in the pads of our paws. So when we are being transported to the vet don’t be surprised if we leave wet paw prints on any surface!
It has also come to the attention of Sam and I that some of our Dog friend’s paws are being burned. Their owners are taking them on walks on asphalt here in Arizona when it is hot. Humans please realize that it is starting to get hot as early as 8am and asphalt and concrete retain heat. Before taking your dog or cat with you on a walk take your shoes off and step barefoot on whatever surface you will be taking your pet on, grass, sidewalk, dirt trail, asphalt. If it is too hot for your foot it is too hot for ours!
Remember to Hug your Animals

All About Me
- The Illustrator
- Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
