This month Kenny’s message is short and sweet. Enjoy the summer! Spend time with friends and family. Relax, recharge and re-energize. Kenny certainly has been enjoying himself, and is feeling and looking good!

 

The ever so chic Kenny is up-to-date with today’s beauty and green trends. Since his first bath in the kitchen sink, he has been accustomed to all natural products. Spring showers and summer thunderstorms cause dirt and muck in all of the best outdoor playing venues, and Kenny’s locks often look more brown than blonde. Even when it’s not wet outside, after a good romp in the grass he is usually covered in green grass stains – and not all green is good! There are many natural pet products available on the market. Kenny uses all natural wipes for dirty spots, and these are good for the cat too. Much to his chagrin, on really mucky days, Kenny requires a visit to the kitchen sink. He uses an all natural shampoo that is made without synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals. These products are better for the environment, and also for himself. They are hypoallergenic, cause less skin irritation and are milder for the eyes (if the unthinkable happens) and ears. Being green can be beautiful, and Kenny is definitely both!

Going green can be a lot of fun!
 In the recent burst of warm weather, Kenny has discovered the beauty of driving with the windows down. Luckily the pure joy associated with hanging his head out the window, eyes squinted shut outweighs the negatives of a bad hair day. It is safe to assume that as the weather gets warmer, using the air conditioning in the car will be an unlikely option.
In our household, we have started walking instead of driving when we run our errands. Although all stores are not puppy friendly, we are quickly determining where we are and are not allowed. Kenny loves the walking adventures, as well as the attention received from both customers and employees. Walking instead of driving is better for the environment, and the health of humans and furry four legged creatures.
Going green is all about small steps to help the environment, and Kenny is certainly doing his part!
In other news, Kenny turned one year in May. He celebrated with a car ride, playing with his bro, and eating lots of carrots

Every small step has a positive impact!

In the spirit of SCT going green, Kenny and his cat sister Chichi decided to demonstrate the brilliance of reusable cloth or PP woven fabric bags.

These bags are an eco-friendly choice for shopping and they are stronger than the regular grocery store plastic bag. Tried, tested and true multiple times by carrying around the 15 pound kitty cat.

Of course, these reusable bags are not fit for every situation. If  Kenny lives to the age of 15 years and maintains his active digestive system, we will use 16,425 bags just for picking up his number twos. Instead of using plastic store bags, we buy small, biodegradable plastic bags which are better for the environment.

And obviously these reusable eco-friendly bags are lots of fun! Chichi jumps in them every time the groceries are unpacked, and what ChiChi likes, Kenny loves!

Taking time for activities you enjoy is important for overall health and well-being, and it helps maintain balance in your life.
Being a puppy is hard work! Kenny is kept busy with an array of activities such as: chewing rawhide bones, licking Mummy’s face clean, using his mouth to vacuum the kitchen floor during meal time and avoiding Chichi’s claws (his older cat sister).
All this hard work tuckers Kenny out, and as the saying goes ‘all work and no play makes jack a dull boy’, or a dull puppy in this case. That’s why Kenny ensures that he takes time each day to unwind, relax and do something he enjoys. Hockey nights are a perfect example: sit back, relax, and jump up and down when Dad yells ‘c’est le but!’
Kenny has managed to perfect the balance between work and play…have you?


Kenny recently had surgery to remove his unmentionables and during this time he learned the three fundamentals to a healthy and speedy recovery: plenty of fluids, extra rest, and lots of love.

He drank water throughout the day, and instead of sleeping 17 hours a day he bumped it up to 21. Love is Kenny’s favorite tip. He got lots of snuggles and cuddles. He even started sleeping on the bed, and decided the middle was best.

But these three essentials are important for recovery from anything, such as illness or stress. Like when Kenny caught a cold the first time he played in the snow, or when Mummy changes his routine and leaves him with Nana!

And who is Kenny kidding; these fundamentals are good for everyday too!
