A Special Tripawds Thank You to Andrew Krichbaum, owner of Pet Necessities, an independent, family owned pet products store located at 4354 Johnson Avenue in Western Springs, Illinois (near the Western Springs train station). Andrew donated gift bags for the members of Team Tripawds participating in the Wheaton, IL PuppyUp Foundation walk this Saturday. (Yes, donated!) I have been a customer pretty much since he opened – although the store is smaller than the chains, he carries premium products and can order pretty much anything you need. I am a big supporter of small, independent businesses and think our communities really benefit from their presence. So, if you live in the area, please stop by Pet Necessities (www.petnecessities.net).
Pet Necessities has a wide variety of premium products for dogs and cats. And, he has photos of his customers, including Otis and Tess, up on the wall behind him.

Otis, an 8 year old 106 lb. lab/Dane mix, became a Tripawd on February 9, 2016 after his right front leg broke due to osteosarcoma. We did 4 rounds of carboplatin, but lung mets were discovered on Agust 25, and he passed on September 4. Otis was half of a bonded pair, and his adopted sister Tess, passed suddenly of hemangiosarcoma on October 9. The day before Tess passed, a local lab rescue group had identfied Gator, a 120 pound 6 year old yellow in need of a home, as a potential companion for her. His picture was on my phone, and my house needed a dog. . .

Wow what an amazingly wonderful thing to do! Please bring his name and address along with you so we can drop him a note to thank him. I too get Riley’s food and other needs at a local independent business here. Gotta always support our own local business’. Love his doggie board of local clientele!
Wow that is totally amazing. Yes, Please bring his address. I use small personal businesses (except for my dog training because I am friends with the trainer at Petsmart). I can’t wait to get there. Thank you Christine.
