Mr. Rio
Seriously how am I
suppose to believe you talk. Animals can not talk or understand what we are
saying or writing. I don't belive in you!
Gabe WI
Dear Gabe
Woof Woof - If you do not believe I can talk or read or write then
why are you spending time writing to me. This doggy thinks you may have
to much time on your hands. Maybe one day you will believe in things
that common sense tells you not to. (reminds me of a movie)
Rio- Gabes Imaginary talking dog!
Dear Mr.Nick
I am very worried
about my friend Toby. He seems to have problems seeing also. Any advice you can
give. Toby is 10 years old and is also a Cockerspaniel.? He is black in color
and we live in Chicago. I am afraid he will get lost in our house. Will he know
where his food is and will he know where I am.
Lost please
help me very worried.
John 12
Dear John
Wow thats a big burden you are caring for someone so young. Sounds
like Toby is in great hands having a family member such as yourself
looking out for him. First I would have your parents take Toby to see a
doggy eye doctor ( Opthomologist). The best thing you and your
family can do is not move things around the house like furniture and do
not leave things in odd places that Toby might walk by and bang into. Us
canines are amazing we have great senses and can smell and hear very
well. When I lost some of my eye sight it was strange for a few days and
I laid around trying to figure out what happened then I pulled it
together and today you would never know I am blind in one of my eyes. I
sure hope I helped you and give Toby a Paw up from me Mr. Nick.
Mr. Nicky
Mr. Nick & Mr. Rio
Will you ever have your pet
photo contest again they

gift baskets rocked!
Sharon
Dear Sharon
Hello, yes we intend
on getting our pet photo
contest back up and running
at the beginning of the new
year. We hope to see you in
them : )
Mr. Rio & Mr. Nicky
Dear Mr. Rio & Mr. Nick
Where have you guys been. It
was over 6 months and you
guys just left us here all
by ourselves with no one to
talk too and no emails. What
gives?
Rex
( The Turtle)
Hey Rex,
We love you but you
really have to relax. Nicky
and I have been doing a lot
of the behind the scenes
work around here. Remember
the little tot I told you
about well she has grown
bigger ( She is a cute
little bugger) Anyway who do
you think has been doing a
lot of tot sitting. That's
right us- part of our job is
to keep her safe and happy.
Then Nick is in love ( Oh
brother can you see my eyes
rolling!) So I get stuck
doing most of everything
else. Like now I am
answering you and he is off
in doggy la la land
dreaming, We have also been
working on this website to
change inventory and things
like that. We are back and
will remain so.. Keep a hard
shell Rex.
Paws Up Mr. Rio
Dear Nick
I
have heard from the
grapevine that you have a
lady friend if so can you
tell us about her?
Tim.
R Oregon
Tim,
We thought that was
our big secret. Yes I
have a lovely female friend
and her name is Emma she is
beautiful. We met online
through our parents she
lives in Florida and I am in
NY so we see each other only
every few months. We do
communicate by email often.
Mr, Nick
Dear Mr. Rio & Mr. Nick

of presents and what was
your favorite present.
Sincerely, Barney
Dear Barney
We also hope you had a great
Christmas too! As for me
Rio~ I received many
presents but my favorite is
a talking frog. As for
Brother Nick~ He received
many bones but he loves this
one that looks like a flute.
We both love any kind of
toys and yes Santa Paws did
put many many toys in our
stocking. We wish you a
Happy New Year. Remember
keep your Paws up!
Mr Rio & Mr. Nick
Dear Mr. Nick
How
come Mr. Rio does all the
answering of questions?
Charlie (The Cat)
Dear Charlie (The Cat)
Well I can finally say thank
you some actually sent me an
email. Mr. Rio is a blabber
barker anyway. He loves to
talk and just keeps going on
and on. he has an opinion
about everything, I guess
thats why he answers all the
questions. Anyway people
usually write to him and not
me. You made my day and my
tail will wag for a week
now. I hope to hear from
you again.
Your Friend,
Mr. Nick
Meow, Hi Rio, Just wanted to
ask u a question, my family
just put up a new fence and
I don't know if that means
that I will be moving soon
or that the fence just
needed to be replaced. I
have been getting mixed
opinions from my friends on
this, one was even mean
enough to say oh oh kitty
looks like your days r
numbered around here, I
would like to be closer to
my cousins but that seems
out of the question, So tell
me am I paranoider or does
this fence say look out
kitty . Smoky
Dear Smokey
Hello! I think you may just
be feeling a little bit
nervous because some thing
have been changed around
you. I know at our house we
my family had the fence
replaced. What I did was
check the whole thing out.
Just to make sure it was
safe for my humans. I would
ask you family if they are
planning on moving. Have
they talked to you about
it? How would you feel if
you had to move? Change
sometimes is a good thing.
Me and my brother both moved
from Las Vegas to NY and are
very happy here. As for
your cousins- it very hard
when family lives a
distance. I am sure you are
close in their heart
though. Smokey I think your
gonna be just fine, I know
you have a very loving
family and they will tell
you if anything is going to
happen. Relax and enjoy
your new and improved fence.
Mr. Rio
Hello,
My hamster is two and a half
years old and for the past
few months his eyes have
been "stuck shut". We
normally just use some warm
water and a cotton swab to
get them un-stuck, but the
next day they're stuck shut
again. Lately, there has
also been a brown liquid in
the bottom of the cage with
a strong odour. I really
need advice! Help!!!
Dear Golden-Retriever
Sorry I was away on vacation an
am getting back to you late. I
hope you took your hamster to
the vet any time a pet has any
strange odor its recommended you
seek professional help. I'm not
a vet and do not have any
medical knowledge on hamsters
but all that you are describing
means you need to seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
Good luck to you and you hamster
will be sending puppy prayers to
you.
Mr. Rio
(A Note From Pitter Patter Pawz-
Please note we do not give

recommend you seek a trained

Mr. Rio
I am an
only dog and am wondering how I
should handle my owner bring
home a new dog to live with us.
I cant believe that they are
doing this but tomorrow. The
new dog comes home from the
pound? I need your help fast!
Rex
Dear Rex
Its sounds great that you are
going to have a playmate. I was
nervous when my brother Nick
came to live with me. We got
along great from the start. Not
that we havent gotten annoyed at
each other cause we have. See,
Nick likes to eat everything an
he looks so cute everyone feels
sorry for him. But on a whole
we get along good. Your owners
should take their time
introducing the two of you.
Also they should make sure that
you don't feel forgotten. They
need to keep showing you lots of
attention too which I am sure
they will. Just welcome you new
brother or sister, in a few days
you will be writting to me tell
me how happy you are. It's
normal to be nervous, I know I
was. Let me know how it goes.
Mr.Rio
Hi Mr Rio,
I am so glad I found this
website! My name is Onyx I am a
Black Labrador Retriever. I am
3 1/2 yrs old. I have a very
sad problem. My owner (Mommy)
works 2 jobs & is not home very
often so I am left in house all
by myself. I get lonely just
laying on the couch all day.
Yeah I have toys to play with
but it is no fun to play alone.
My Mommy loves me very much &
when she is home she takes me to
the park to play ball & buys me
all sorts of cool natural
treats. I have a tummy problem
& can't eat rawhide or anything
made with animal by products.
Mommy has searched many places
to get me all natural treats & I
actually love these things she
calls Booda Velvet Bimple Bones
( My favorite is peanut butter)
My question... Is there
something I can do to help my
mommy not have to work so
much?? She has thought about
getting me a brother but I know
it will cost too much money.
Besides I like having her all to
myself.
Ooh gotta go!! Mommy's
home I have to go greet her &
get my belly rubs & ear
scratches.
Sincerely,
Onyx Central Islip NY
Dear Onyx
Im so sorry it took me so long
to respond to you. Somehow you
ended up in the wrong mail box.
I can feel for you. I too was a
lonely pup at home when my
owners went to work. Sounds
like you have a very busy Mommy,
but she sounds great and she is
a hard worker. What my owners
did for me to keep me from being
lonely was leaving the TV on for
me in the living room where I
hang out. They also bought me
all types of toys that makes
sounds so it made me feel like I
wasn't alone. The best choice
is getting you a brother or
sister but sometimes that's not
possible cause it is more
expensive but it doesn't have to
be if you get one from a shelter
that has all its shots and is
neutered and stuff. Sure it can
take attention away from you but
it is great to have another
buddy around. If that's not
possible their is also places
and people that do doggy day
care which can cost as cheap as
15 dollars a day, or just have a
friend or relative come by to
see you might be good too. I am
going to try to find you your
favorite bones at the cheapest
price for your Mom since she
doesn't need anymore big
expenses. Another great thing
your Mom can do is make a video
tape that last a few hours of
her and other people you like,
just talking to keep you company
and she can play it while she is
out. I don't know how to get
your Mom not to work so much and
hopefully soon she will not have
to work two jobs. Most
important Onyx if your like me
nap alot while she is at work so
that way when she comes home you
can spend quality time together
and enjoy the free time you have
together. Remember Mom is just
working hard to provide you with
a good home. I will email you
with what else I can find for
you. Just try some of our
suggestions they may make you
feel better. I hope to hear
from you soon.
Love Mr. Rio
P.S. I love belly rubs and my
ears scratched too!
Mr.
Rio, I was just wondering if you
could tell me what to do. You
see my cousin who by the
strangest thing has the same
name as you, yes... his name is
also Rio, well anyway (excuse me
for a minute, scratch,
scratch.... ah...) Oh sorry I
just had this itch, well getting
back to what I am saying Rio
will soon be getting a new
brother, not exactly a new one,
I mean this other dog is already
born and a few maybe 2 yrs old.
I was wondering this new dog
will be my new cousin, am I
suppose to send him a card or
gift or something???? I know in
the plan of things, this might
be a small question to many, but
to me it seems important. Can u
answer me and not think me
silly. Your friend of a
different Species Meow and meow
again and a purr as well
Dear Friend
Hey I think it's great your
cousin has the same name as me.
He must be one great looking
dog. Ha ha! I don't think you
necessarily need to get your
friend a gift but I do sell some
great toys and treats here if
you are interested.! Actually I
think the best thing you can do
is just make him feel welcome.
Since he will be scared at first
in all his new surroundings. I
would also say maybe have your
human mother cook him a nice
home cooked meal. That is
always a good welcoming to the
family. Listen my little
hairball.. cough cough.. you
might want to get that itch
checked. You know flea and tick
season is approaching and
depending on where you live they
could be here now. You should
read our newsletter. It tells
all about cats an scratching.
Not that I'm not saying you cant
have an itch now an then! Well I
wish you good luck with your new
cousin. I am sure you'll be
great friends. Remember an act
of kindness means more to
anything then all the things
money can buy! Let us know how
you and your cousin get along.
We are anxious to hear!
Love Mr. Rio
Hey Mr. Rio,
Hey,
today is such a sad day... :( My
friend (the hamster) died today.
You shoukd have seen my owners,
they cried like crazy!. I tried
purring, guess didn't work. I
guess it was a really sad
moment. So.. We went ot a park,
from there i have no idea, but
they had some weird materials...
I think they made him a little
grave. :( Here's a picture of
him.. Anyway, i hope you
understand.. oh and by the way
my rat's name is
chikenluversauce.. yes, yes i
knoiw my friends ask me all the
time about his name, anyway i am
hiding under the bed.. and
typing you know.. i haven't gone
online in like phew.. nah
playing.. anyway what types of
music does you owner listen to?
My owners listen to a lot, like
hip hop, rap, rock and you know
so on and so on.. we kitties
like the sound of barking and
mewing. :) Write to ya later
MR.RYO>> LOL
Dear Moochie
Oh your pal the hamster looked like
a beautiful animal. I'm so sorry
for you and your family. It's so
great that you tried to comfort your
human family I am sure it meant so
much to them to have you their with
them. It is a sad moment. Moochie
do you know about "The Rainbow
Bridge". Well that is where you
beloved hamster is now. He may have
been sick and its hard to tell with
hamsters since they are so small.
You should know that your friend is
playing now with his other Hamster
friends by the bridge. I love the
name of your rat where ever you got
that name from. I like to hide
under and play under the bed but I
have gained a little weight recently
a few snacks to many so I get stuck
sometimes. Yeh I like the sounds of
barking and meowing better then what
my owner listens to. They listen to
everything from old yuck stuff to
all the new stuff rap included. My
favorite is still who let the does
out cause I bark when they say woof.
My owners get a kick out of it.. I
say little hamster prayers for your
friend. Keep your chin up my friend
your owners will be ok. Just nuzzle
up closer to them to let them know
you are their.
Love Ya Rio
Mr. Ri0,
Yes, I AM sure that I am a
cat, and I used to have a picture of me
playing with a rat, but unfortunately it
got erased from my computer, anyway,
thanx for telling me my future. I am in
a few days going to get operated, so i
wont have a girlfriend.. :( Yes, i was a
very weird kitty. i was born on the
streets, and my mother died. :( she got
hit by a car in NJ and my parents
(humans) from over there couldn't take
care of me so they brought me here to NY
with my new owners. I luv chicken. I got
to go take my nap, under the bed
dreaming of..of..
of..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
(owner)-- uhh who is this? oh well i
might as well send it anyway.. see ya
Mr. Ri0 (whoever you are) ------ Moochie
+ Human (owner)
Dear
Moochie + Human (Owner)
Oh I
hope everything goes fine for you with your
operation. I will keep my paws crossed for
you. I know what you are talking about
after your operation not having a
girlfriend. I had the same thing done to
me. I just thought I was going for a nice
car drive and then wham.. they did it. But
don't worry my little friend you will be
fine afterwards. Plus you still can have a
girlfriend. Sorry to hear about your
mother. So you lived on the streets as a
young kitty. Guess you are wiser beyond
your feline years. If we lived close buy I
would bring you a chicken dinner to nurse
you back after your operation. Hopefully
your human (owner) will give you a chicken
dinner after all of this. I love chicken
too. Actually your not too weird just you
and your rat is a little bit of a weird
tale. Sorry I took so long to answer. I
was at a pet trade show with my employees
here at the shop. They gave me lots of
treats so it was worth the trip. I love
your pictures and we are posting them
tomorrow on 4/5/05. We just got back in and
have lots of toys to ship out. If your
asking who my owner is. Think about it
Moochie do we really know who anyone is? As
for me I am a Cocker spaniel who loves to
eat, talk and play. Let me know how the
surgery goes. I can feel your pain.
Paws Up
Love Ya Mr. Rio
Dear Mr. Rio,
What a pleasure to meet you.
Let me introduce myself. My name is mooch.
(moochie) My owners listen to different
types of music. Anyway, I wanted to ask you
if you can tell the future. I hear you are
very good at predicting. What's up for me?
another question is What doy ou like to eat?
As for me I love to eat 9lives and I love to
play with rats. NOT EAT THEM.PLAY!
Luv, Moochie
Dear
Moochie
Nice
to meet you! Gee! I love your name. I can
tell the future pretty well. You'll be
having visitors soon. Be very careful
because the rat may get your tail! Your
future seems bright and happy. You will
receive much love and attention. As for
myself I like to eat everything. Actually
my favorite things in the whole wide world
are cheese.. I cant get enough and also
apples.. You heard " An Apple A Day Keeps
The Vet Away!" Actually you are a first I
never in all my canine years have heard of a
cat playing with a Rat. I would love to see
a picture of that. I guess your Rat buddy
must be pretty big! I play with squirrels
so I guess you can play with a Rat! My
owners listen to lots of music. I cover my
ears with my paws when they sing. So Moochie
what's your Rats name.. Sorry to keep going
back to the Rat .. it just has me very
interested in knowing more about this odd
relationship you have. Are you sure you are
a Cat! Your not mixed with anything are
you? Not that it would matter to me but you
sound like an interesting feline. Your
future is bright so you should have no
worries. I look forward to hearing from you
again. Paws up to you!
Love Mr. Rio
Mr. Rio,
Meow, Meow
That is my hello to you. My question to you is
, how do I get to be friends with my pal ( lets
for the sake of discussion that his name is Rio)
I love him and think we could be great buddies
there is only one problem he is a dog and I am a
very, pretty cat. I need a handsome guy in my
life and I was hoping maybe it could be him.
What would you say should my first steps be to
build a relationship with him
Got to go,
Meow, (love) Smoky
Dear Smoky
Ruff... Ruff you sound like one nice Kitty.. I
personally would start off with an informal
introduction. Just a get to know you type
meeting. Not one of those sniffing contest
things. Of course a few good sniffs towards
each other is necessary for bonding but to start
your relationship I wouldn't be to aggressive.
I would suggest on your first meeting that you
maybe have a gate or something between you just
incase one of you get nervous during close
contact.. don't want anyone to do anything they
might be sorry for.. No matter what you should
have your owners parental supervision until the
two of you are completely comfortable with each
other. Even though I know you have feelings for
this pup and it sounds like he is a lucky pup
under know circumstances should he be off his
leash with you until you too are comfortable
together. I just recently had an experience
with a very pretty Kitty myself but I came upon
her by surprise yet the two of us did the
animal stare down and I growled a little but I
felt it was a start maybe to a relationship. I
was with my owner and we agreed, we will take it
slow. Yet I think we might have the beginnings
of a beautiful relationship. I will keep you
informed. I wish you luck with this handsome
pup..keep me informed how its going.
Love Mr. Rio
hey rio,
How are you?
um i was wondering when do i get to see you....lol...um...your
favorite newfew dog lol...um how do you get rid
of stinky dog breath...your mom needs some
advice...lol...i love you rio write me back
Nefew
Dear Nefew
I
am doing well thank you for asking. I could
give you a lot of medical advice but I won't
since I am not a doggy doctor. If you think you
have a serious medical condition have your
owners take you to the doctor. Yet don't
worry, at some time or another we all have
stinky breath. I myself believe it or not have
been know to have bad breath at times too.
Usually it happens when I eat certain foods. I
found one of the best things to keep my choppers
in great shape is to eat and chew on bones. Yet
all bones are not treated equal. I have a bone
called Edible Chew N' Floss™
that seems to help and
and keeps stinky breath at bay. Also you should
talk to your owners about brushing your teeth
once in a while. Just like them we could use it
too.. We also have breath fresheners that we
will be selling soon but those, like anything
else are not to be eaten like candy or breath
mints. I think you should first start with a
vet consult and some basic oral hygiene. When
you go to the groomers you should ask if they
clean teeth or find a doggy dentist who can give
you a new stinky free smile. Like I said
before,... it could also be what your eating.
These are my thoughts are your problem... again
I am not a doctor. I wish you luck and wish you
could come to see me.. But get that a stinky
problem under control before you do.
Love Mr. Rio
Dear Mr.
Rio:
I come from a
rich heritage of double grand champion, silver
chinchilla, long hair, white Persian felines.
My hair gets a little matted and tangled. I'm
pretty good at getting my human slaves to comb
or brush me several times a day. But still, I
get matted. I hate it when that happens (and I
sweat in this coat). Last September, the slaves
tricked me into my carrier and drove me to my
doctor. I had lil' dental work done, to keep my
teeth tarter free. While sedated, I got
scalped. I woke up a day later, and froze for
weeks. Finally the fur is back (in time for
winter). The abode is an air conditioned home
with wall to wall 20" porcelain tile floors. My
custom Lucite door opens to my screen enclosed
pool on a 40' x 30' cool deck top. What can I
do to prevent this from happening this again?
What hair care products do you recommend to keep
the matts away and my long hair, silky and
tangle free?
Sincerely,
Sterling
Eiswine
Dear Sterling Eiswine:
I
can feel for you. I too have long hair and have
also had the old carrier trick pulled on me. I
used to fight all the time to be brushed and
combed because I had so many matts in my hair.
Your problem really is easy to resolve. We
found when we used shampoos that had conditioner
in them I still got matted but when we used a
separate conditioner or rehydrant spray I did
not get tangle. I can honestly say I have not
had any problems since we started doing this.
The Cat mist is made from E-Qyss made with
natural botanical it comes in 8 oz bottle and
the Conditioner- Avocado Mist conditioner/
Detangler is a leave on spray it also contain
sunscreen and Aloe Vera and it shines and
conditions your coat leaving you tangle free
that comes in 16oz or 32oz bottle. You can find
these products under our cat page we are
currently working on a products page for pet
products like shampoos ect.. I hope one or both
of these products can work for you and I will
speak with our professionals and find out what
else can help you. I will send you an email
mail with further information on 12/27/04 when I
can speak with them. I hope this was a help.
By the way your home sounds wonderful. The
human slaves you speak of sound wonderful too. I
would love to know how you trained them so
well. Well I wish you a happy holiday. Come
back and let me know how things are going.
Mr. RIo
Mr. Rio,
Well well
well.........Long time no talk. I just got off
your site and oh how wonderful it is. I was
looking with my family, and they saw lots of
things on their they liked. We are just
deciding what we need for now.
Anyhow, my
question is to you? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO COME
VISIT ME, I REALLY REALLY MISS YOU?
......and my
other question is What is your favorite thing on
here, maybe you can help us chose for me?
Thank you,
Mr. Bongo
Madness
Dear Bongo Madness
Wow I cant believe it is you.. Gee I miss you
too. I wish I could come see you but since my
last airplane ride I'm a little nervous about
flying. Maybe you can come and see me in the
summer with your family. Yes the site is doing
well, we are still working on it but all is
going well. Give everyone their a big lick from
me. My absolute favorite toys are the Princely
Animals. I can really sink my teeth into them
and they can be thrown like a ball and I can
play tug a war with my friends. I also like my
bow tie collection . I usually wear them to
formal parties or business meeting or photo
sessions. All the cookies are great. If your
still undecided I am getting more products in on
Wednesday and I will let you know what I think
is the most fun. Actually the free gifts are
neat too but I'm not permitted to tell you what
they are. The Christmas toys are great but I
cant guarantee at this date that they will get
their on time. Our new line will be up on
Wednesday. So think about the princely animals
oh also the Kooky quacker he is a hoot too.
What ever you order I am sure you will like.
Mr. Rio (a.k.a.- your brother)
Dear Mr. Rio

Dogbone I am picking up some vibes from you and
I can tell that you will come into some good
fortune very soon. I see a man with a red hat

of presents and leaving a lot of toys. Let me
know if my predictions are true. I believe
this good fortune should come around December
25th.

Thank You for
answering my questions? What do you like to do
and what makes you happy?
From S.C.- New

Nice to hear from you again. I hope I helped
you. I like to eat of course. But I just love
to play with all kinds of toys. I watch
Television and play with the squirrels at my
house. I have three that come to play with me
every day. I like to spend time with my family,
we go everywhere together. I love learning new
things especially human words. Their are so
many things I like. Hope that answered your
question.
Mr. Rio
Hi! Mr. Rio
How do I know
you are for real? How come my pet doesn't talk
to me? If it is true how can I make my cat talk
to me?
From S.C.- New
Jersey
Dear
S.C.
I am
for real. I just pinched my paws and I am not a
figment of imagination. What you mean is how do
you know I can really talk.. Well for one thing
how do you think I talk with other dogs? You
don't hear us barking all day. Ok sometimes or
some of us do bark. But our barking is just to
warn people or other animals that can't
communicate telepathically that something is
going on. Since I don't have vocal cords like
you I use my mind, my tail and my expressions.
What you should do is tell your cat we need to
talk and explain what you want your cat to
know. Your cat may not even look at you which
tends to be in all our nature to act like we're
not listening, but we are. Then focus on the
message your cat is sending you. At first it
might be hard but I bet you get answers to your
questions if you believe the messages you are
receiving. I hope I was a Help.
