Chianna's Corner
Welcome fans and friends!
As you know, I am the MAH Senior Marketing Consultant and I really enjoy meeting with clients and their pets everyday. Thank you so much for pointing out how beautiful I am...It's nice to be appreciated. However, I would like to remind some of you that seem concerned, that I am very 'handi-capable' and not 'handi-capped' (that would be my little sister, cuz Penelope is no star-pupil!) I faced my Bone Cancer nearly 5 years ago, even though the specialist said surgery and chemo might only give me another 1-2 years. I'm glad my parents let me do it. However, I've heard my mom say I've lasted way beyond my warranty. I wonder if that means she's thinking about a trade-in. It's not like I can be replaced. As if!
Anyway, It just goes to show you, that nearly anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it.
Kisses,
Chianna
P.S. Big shout-out to Dr. Goring, Dr. Walker and all of their amazing staff at the specialty clinic in Orange Park!

Fun Facts with Festes All animals need heat to keep their bodies alive but different animals tolerate or need different temperatures. In addition, some animals can maintain constant body temperatures under normal conditions. These animals are called warm-blooded. The body temperature of other types of animals varies with the temperature of their surroundings. These animals are called cold-blooded. . . . And then there is Penelope, who will steal your dinner and that is just COLD!

Chatting With Chianna
Dear Chianna, My name is Muffin and I'm having a real problem with that. You see, I'm a large Great Dane, with great athletic ability, a charming personality and a fabulous sense of humor and, well, my name really doesn't suit me. As a matter of fact, it is downright terrible and I hate it. Every time my Mom walks me through the neighborhood, all the other dogs laugh and make fun of me. Now I can take a good joke with the best of them, but this is getting ridiculous. All I ever hear is “ Lookin' very purty today, Muffin ”, and “ Are you blueberry or banana nut, today ”, and “ Where are your pink bows and fluffy sweater ”. It gets me so mad, but if my Mom caught me fighting, I'd get in all kinds of trouble. What can I do? Simmering on the Southside
Dear Simmering, Your name is Muffin? Really!!? Sorry dude, but I'm gonna laugh at you too. You got the short end of the stick, for sure. You better find a way to deal with it, cuz there is nothing that will convince your Mom to change your name. In her eyes, you are her baby and she thinks it's cute. . .sorry, started laughing again. What you need is a girlfriend , so when the other dogs try to poke fun at you, you can say, “ Have you seen my girlfriend, Sonja? She likes me and she thinks I'm SWEET . . .just like a muffin ”. That will shut them up, fast. And as far as meeting girls, just act all embarrassed about your name and they will eat that up. . . no pun intended. Chi Dear Chianna, Good day to you, Chi! I'm a gorgeous Russian Blue Cat and my name is Sir Charles Rothechild III, but my family calls me Blue. I prefer my full name, in general, but since my family does lavish me with food and gifts on a regular basis, I tend to overlook it. Although, on occasion, I fail to respond to that name, just on principle. Recently, I've noticed my Dad experimenting with his drinks, turning them various shades of green, for some upcoming holiday. Apparently, this involves drinking large amounts of green – tinged alcohol and behaving like children . . .loud, obnoxious children. I've noticed that, generally, weekends are often spent partying and goofing off and there always seems to be an excuse, like a sporting event or a holiday of some kind. This does not strike me as appropriate behavior for adults. How can I help my family become more mature and sophisticated like I am? Disgusted in Derry
Dear Disgusted, You are SOOOOO lucky that you don't live with me. I would so hold you down and shave most of your hair off, just to get that smug look off your face. I would leave you with a mohawk and dye it green, just for giggles. People may have been invented to take care of us and provide for our every need and whim, but you still have to appreciate them and take care of them in return. Your family works very hard to provide you with a home and stuff and they deserve the right to play and goof off some on the weekends. People are important, not only for the stuff they can give you (which is super important), but also for all the love and compassion and companionship, as well. There is nothing wrong with wanting to help your family improve themselves, but you have to want it for them and not for you. Nearly everyone can stand a little improvement. . .except, of course, for me. After all, I am special. Chill Out, Chi
