Five Things You May Not Know About Mary

March 31, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Floofins & Co.

Sure, you know that the Floofins staff you interact with LOVE your pet, but have you ever wondered… Is there more to this super-duper, pet-loving person?

To that, we say, YES!

Your Floofins are like family and we want to give you a more rounded picture of our great staff members. So, we dug a little deeper into their psyches to get you the kind of information only Floofins & Co. can provide.

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Mary. She is a Pet Care Specialist and covers the Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, and Elmhurst (for vacation care) areas.

If you could ask your pet one question, what would it be? “ I have 3 dogs and I always ask them, “Can’t you all go outside at the same time just once? Basically, I’m a doorman a lot!”

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen a stranger do? “Someone was jumping on a trampoline and when they jumped up, their shorts fell down.” 

What is your pet peeve? “Being late.” 

What is the best advice you’ve received? “Be polite.”

What would be your spirit animal? “Bear.”

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Kelci. She is a Pet Care Specialist and covers the Elmhurst area.

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen a stranger do? “Probably watching people play Marco polo in stores to find each other. It happens more than you think.”

What is your favorite cheesiest pickup line? “Hey can you hold this? (Then just offers their hand.)”

What is the most beautiful place you’ve been? “St. Croix, the beaches were amazing and the water was hard to leave.”

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? “I wanted to be an author because I constantly had a book in my hands.”

What would be your spirit animal? “I honestly think a raccoon. They may get a bad reputation but they are generous protectors and represent resourcefulness, curiosity, and fearlessness.”

Ruff Life: Dog Food and Nutrition in Elmhurst

Ruff Life: A New Place To Shop For Healthy Pets

As professional pet sitters and dog walkers, it is important to stay on top of other great local pet businesses. Chris Diederich has a long history in retail, but didn’t discover his passion until a few years ago. That passion, it turns out, is high-quality pet food and nutrition, inspired in part by his love of his family’s two Shih Tzus and an intense interest in their health. And so, Ruff Life opened on May 1st 2014 in Elmhurst, IL.

All of the edibles at Ruff Life are soy, wheat and corn-free. Absolutely nothing is from China. They carry a variety of brands in conventional forms like kibble and also offer a selection of raw food. If there is a brand you prefer that meets Ruff Life’s quality standards but that they do not regularly stock, they will order it just for you as often as you like. Ruff Life primarily sells food and edibles of the highest quality, but also offers toys, a neat selection of clothing/sweaters, leashes, collars and toys, and some grooming supplies.

Dog Birthday Celebrations

Dog BirthdaysIdeas For Celebrating Your Furry Family

Believe it or not, Prissy and Portia will be turning the big 6 this coming July! Be it an official dog birthday or a “gotchaday” (i.e. the day your pet was adopted) it is celebration worthy and there are many ways to par-tay.

There is no shame in inviting family and friends over to celebrate your dog’s special day. A great dog birthday party could range from a small family party to full out event with human and canine guests.

Prissy and Portia, unfortunately, are not huge fans of large stressful parties or having lots of canine guests in their home, so in the past we have resorted to the small family party format. Over the years we have found a few more great ways to celebrate Prissy and Portia Day. Here are a few ideas to help you with your plans: [Read more…] about Dog Birthday Celebrations
