Happy Thanksgiving!! You bet were open. Oma and I are here crushing the Holiday along with the help of my neice Paisley. Hours are: 11:00-4:00 today 🙂.

It might not be Boxing Day yet, but we have a Hampster named Floyd who likes to throw down 🥊 He’s so funny he literelly just punches you until you pick him up and show him some love. Cutest little bu**er, it’s hard to take him seriously lol.

Oven-Baked Tradition really deserves a shout out and some recognition here. Not only for their dedication and commitment to supplying our community with quality food at a reasonable price, but for the support of our local shelters and rescues.

Let me explain:

A very lovely woman named Cheyene called me up on behalf of OBT (Oven-Baked Tradition) and asked why we don’t take advantage of the breeder program. How the breeder program works is if you get a puppy or kitten from a breeder they will gift you a free bag of food so you’re able to try it out after you take your new addition home. My response was fairly blunt. We personally deal with a lot of strays, rescues, and adopting out animals who need homes and we feel like rewarding those individuas would be more beneficial. I mean who hasn’t come into the Seahorse and seen the collection cups at the front counter or a ten year old beardie in the back needing a forever home?!? So I tried to soften it a little by saying we didn’t feel the person who has thousands of dollars to buy a purpose bred animal is as deserving as someone who’s willing to take on an 8 year old blind cat thats on medication. She immediately agreed, came to the same conclusion on her own and said it was an excellent idea to support the idea of adopting a rescue.

On her next available days off Cheyene persoanlly came to the store and pre packaged 40 gift baskets for both cats and dogs. Stuffed them with amazing high quality foods and treats along with a few other fun additions to welcome your new bundle of joy!! What an amazing gift; to be supported by such a huge company that puts value into small communities like ours.

This year alone OBT has seen some substantial growth (top three highest growth rates in BC) and it’s no surprise when they do things like this for us! Ooorrrr, how about the launch of their new Care Line?? A full line of dog and cat foods designed to compete with veterinary scripted foods. Save money with the same results while feeding your pet actual ingredients you can pronounce or find at the grocery store.

These are some of the families who have adopted animals and received a care package through us! If you’ve recently adopted a Dog or Cat from a reputable shelter or rescue please feel free to come in and receive a gift basket, compliments of OBT and The Purple Seahorse. We’d love to share the excitement with you so please feel free to bring your little sprout in while you’re here 🙂!!

We brought in some really incredible fish this week. Between multiple suppliers, both salt and freshwater, we were able to find a nice selection of fish. Everything from common community to enthusiast gems. In saltwater I have oddities like a beautiful yellow tang, XL hippo, chaulk basslets, designer clowns, massive puffer fish, and many other fun new additions. For freshwater we have regular and designer shrimp, massive ghost knife fish, a moray eel, geophagus, colorful plecos, discus and so much more. If you’re feeling fishy this weekend come see us and the selection of oddities we have in store 🐠

Have an awesome weekend everyone 🙂

Yesterday was national dog day! Sorry I didnt post this yesterday, I’m still in summer break mode wtih Finley haha. Like previous years; we went and saw our friends over at Orchard Gardens Retirement Residents and spread some pawsitivity along side the friendly volunteers and the SPCA. Collectively we raised $266 in just 1.5 hours! Nyx and Odin were obviiusly on their best behavior and loved every minute of it. We made some new friends and said hi to some old ones. I’m so proud of my boys. This is exactly what national Dog Day should be!! Thanks for having us and putting up with our shenanigans lol!

Now go pet your doggy for me 🐶

This is one of our fish tanks we maintain which had a pretty large failure last week. What’s commonly referred to as a sump, is installed in this persons basement and all the plumbing goes up to the main display. Higher end aquariums run a sump type system for many reasons but it does also pose a small risk when adding a second body of water. This tank was originally built and installed by ATM custom tanks in Las Vegas, but even the best of the best are subject to failure at times. Unfortunately this company no longer exists so over the years we’ve had to replace and build many components to keep things running smoothly. The sump is built of acrylic and over the years the weight of water has forced it to bow. Being a rigid material the flex has to come from somewhere and this one decided to crack in a couple of spots.

I looked into replacing this sump all together but the bill was in the 10k ballpark so we decided on an alternate route. What we’ve come up with is a steel banding across the top edge with two angles connections to tension it like a belt at the top. This stops any further flexing at the top. Then I took 3/8” acrylic and cut pieces to fit inside the sump doubling up the thickness of the sides. I used a product called Methlyne Chloride which is the bonding agent used in acrylics (silicone is not used on these types of materials). I then cut some supports to let it cure and sealed the panels from the rest of the water column. Once dried we were able to refill the filter system and business as usual for the fishies.

With quick action and some out of the box thinking we were able to walk away from this potential catastrophe with zero casualties. This is great news for everyone involved including me. I love a challenge and I love it even more when my solution works hahah. I’ve come to realize maintaining fish tanks isn’t just about scraping algae off the glass, it’s a whole lots of professions all rolled into one hobby and I think that’s what I enjoy most about it.

Hope everyone has an awesome day and a friendly reminder to just double check your aquarium seals every so often lol 💦

Careful opening these images around your children, the last couple aren’t exactly for everyone to view. I’m trying to keep this light hearted and positive but I wanted to shout out Kelowna Veterinary Hospital for their exceptional service, once again.

Guinea pigs are a hard sell, usually sitting in enclosures for far too long looking for a home. They tend to get passed around like Pokémon cards in the community as children and adults evolve and family’s grow. I see it very commonly people looking to rehome them or they are miss cared for due to a lack of time available by the owners.

We had someone basically beg us to take in their Guinea pigs but we unfortunately don’t have the capacity to handle them right now and had to turn them away. Due to an unforseen circumstance in their life, this person didn’t take no as an answer and left us with five guineas to care for on the weekend. Im not getting any further into that comment or situation as its irrelivent to the post One of these critters has a huge tumor that has been left untreated. With only a small portion of the tumor visible in these photos, it’s covered in dried puss and blood making a very angry swollen area on his back side causing a lot of discomfort and hindering the healing process.

I cleaned the wound, trimmed his nailes, gave him a bath and a name. Oreo came home with us that night. We kept on top of his wounds, applying polysporin three times daily until we could confirm its a tumor. The little guy is so friendly and clearly appreciated the help Finley and I offered. We decided no matter what he gets the care he deserves and booked an appointment with Kelowna Vet Hospital. We are scheduled tomorrow morning for surgery and he will be receiving the best care possible thanks to the amazing staff at KVH.

I can’t even express how awesome it feels to have such an arsenol at my side. To be able to help these little critters no matter their financial value is a feeling like no other and I have KVH to thanks for this. So here’s my appreciation post. Thanks for helping Oreo when everyone else gave up on him ❤️.

For those wondering, Oreo will be staying with Finley and myself until he is ready to find his forever home. Yes, Odin has once again stepped into coparent mode lol. When hes all healed up and healthy we will bring him to the store for everyone to meet and to reunite with his siblings.

With this ray of pawsitivity, make it a great day 🙂
