- New Openings at Fetch.

We have openings in your neighborhood (if your neighborhood includes: Teele, Davis, Ball, Union, parts of North Cambridge, + Medford!)

Don't forget if you're a client and you refer us to a new pup who signs up for 2+ walks a week, you get a Fetch outing on us!

We so appreciate our clients and love the work we do. Feel free to send potential pups our way via: [email protected] and be sure to check out the website ( www.fetchhappens.com ) for a list of preliminary questions to see if we're right for you! Also check out our reviews (and leave one if you feel so inclined!) on YELP: https://www.yelp.com/biz/fetch-somerville-2

Happy Sunday!

Lotsa love,

Mel + Michelle + Grace

This is obviously cute/funny, but we can't stress how dangerous it is (long term) for squishy-faced breeds to be outside for extended periods of time in hot weather (anything over 70-75 degrees), especially pups who like to play/run.

Please keep your frenchies, bulldogs, pugs, mastiffs, etc. cool in the summer. If their panting sounds clogged or wet, they're struggling.

BRADY’S TOP 6 SUMMERTIME SAFETY TIPS

1. Don't exercise in warm temps. Just stay inside wif the AC. Maybe don't even go outside to go potty on some days. Learn to use the hooman bathroom.

2. If you must go outside on hot days, tell yer mom to carry you or get you a pup stroller - don't let the sunny sidewalks n hot roads burn yer feets!

3. Never ever ever let anyone leave you in a car wifout hooman supervision and the AC blastin. Even fer just a second. Even if the windows are cracked. You could get stolen or DIE from heat stroke!

4. Protect yerself against skeeters n fleas. You don't wanna end up wif nasty skeeter heartworms or a flea saliva skin infection, do you?

5. Always wear a life jacket near water. Sure, some frenchies can swim, but it's difficult fer us. We has short stubby legs n beeg chesticles. It takes us 80 times more effort to keep our heads above water than it would fer a hooman to just slip us into a life jacket.

6. When in doubt, just chill out in the AC n have yer servants fan you wif palm frawns!

Dogs cure the world.

Pretty refreshing ad.

ALERT! There have been reports of an outbreak of leptospirosis at the Arlington dog park. It spreads through contact with infected urine, and since the dog park is basically a canine litter box, if you frequent it or the area around it (bike path, field, etc.,) know the symptoms and be proactive! This particular bacteria is also able to be transmitted to humans. Disease spreads quickly in a pack, so as always, if your pup is showing signs of any potentially contagious infection, let us know! Stay healthy everyone.

Leptospirosis is an infection of bacterial spirochetes, which dogs acquire when subspecies of the Leptospira interrogans pe*****te the skin and spread through the body by way of the bloodstream.

Hello Fetch Family!

Did you know that the humans behind Fetch., are a family of artists as well as your pup's Pack Leaders? Mel is a writer and photographer/filmmaker, Gracie the French bulldog is a snuggling virtuoso, and Michelle makes beautiful handmade pottery.

The latter of those three is selling her pieces through Kickstarter to raise funds for the expensive pieces of equipment she needs to fire her pieces and a space to put them.

If you like thoughtfully crafted tableware, and supporting your local arts community, make a pledge! We have until October 31 to raise $2300 through Kickstarter's "all or nothing" platform, so even if you can't be a backer please share the campaign to help reach more people who might be interested in being a part of her success.

Thank you for reading!

xo Mel, Michelle, & Grace!

Inspired by nature, made by hand. Help me build my body of work so that I might share a little more beauty with the world.
