Free Shipping Day is a one-day event held each December involving hundreds of merchants who offer free shipping with delivery by Christmas Eve.
This year’s event begins at 12 a.m. EST on Friday, December 17.
The response has been tremendous. More than 750 merchants participated in 2009; more than 650,000 merchant offers were clicked on; and more than 35,000 sales took place through FreeShippingDay.com.
The goal for 2010 was to involve more than 1,000 merchants and push their free shipping sales above the 50,000 mark!
As of this writing, there are already over 1300 merchants participating including JeffersPet.com.
We have had a great time this year despite the delays we had with the new website. We have come up with several different new ways to save our customers money and everybody loves to save. Keep watching for more ways to save.

This needs to be shared…
Renee, a JeffersPet pet specialist, Certified Dog Trainer, kennel owner, dog rescuer and dog lover, received an e-mail today that included this story. I looked for the original to give proper credit but cannot find. Hopefully no one will mind my passing this along…
This is a GREAT story!
Pit Bulls Save Chihuahua from Near-Fatal Coyote Attack
Courtesy Janis Stephenson
A regular morning romp through the yard turned into a nightmare for a young Chihuahua named Buster when he was suddenly attacked and taken by a wild coyote in the suburban town of Littleton, Colo. But thanks to two brave pit bull neighbors, the dog survived the frightening encounter and is on the road to a recovery.
Four-year-old Buster had just returned from his morning walk with mom Jodi Robinette on July 31, but wanted a little more play time outside. Having already checked the surroundings of her back yard, Robinette felt it safe to let Buster burn off some active energy while she kept an eye out from her living room couch. But not even 30 seconds later, Robinette was back on her feet.
“I heard him scream like I’ve never heard an animal scream before,” Robinette tells PEOPLEPets.com. “I instantly knew that an animal got him.”
After spotting a tail turn the corner of her house, Robinette sprinted to the front of the yard and saw the coyote running off with Buster in his mouth. While Robinette was in pursuit, a pair of pit bulls were on neighborhood watch and ran toward the coyote, on a mission to rescue the poor dog from the vicious abductor. Realizing he was outnumbered, the coyote released Buster and ran off.
“The pits followed my dog underneath a bush, guarding him,” Robinette recalls. “[They] lay next to him, licked him and protected him.”
Robinette, a neurosurgery coordinator, wrapped the gravely injured canine in a towel and rushed him to Columbine Animal Hospital. Immediately treated for pain and shock, Buster was scheduled for surgery on Aug. 2 to repair damage to his chest wall on both sides. Dr. Lee Bregitzer performed the operation, and is happy to report that Buster is well on the road to recovery — thanks to the quick thinking of the neighboring dogs.
They were “guardian angels for her dog,” Dr. Bregitzer says, “disguised as pit bulls.”
Robinette has nothing but praise and gratitude for the heroic canines, who stepped in quicker than she ever could have.
“[They] were looking out for Buster’s best interest against the coyote,” Robinette says. “They were looking out for my dog.”

Nobody likes to be wrong and in business, being wrong can be very costly. In the summer of 2008, we began developing a completely new Site based on a completely new platform. We were super excited about all of the functionality we were going to add and the great new look we developed. As with any Site redesign, there were problems and setbacks and things we never foresaw.
The bottom line is the “new” Site failed miserably and we, hopefully, learned a lot. We realized that as cool as some of the new features were, many of them didn’t interest our customers and just took up space and/or confused some people. Most importantly, we heard from many of our customers during the three months we were “testing” the new site and when we decided to pull the plug, we felt we knew more about what our customers wanted.
Our intentions were pure but our methodology was flawed. Still, a lesson learned the hard way is a lesson well-taught and well-remembered.
We are, once again, in the midst of change. Spurred on by growing pains and outdated software, we have some necessary changes to make and we are trying to keep in mind what we heard and learned last year. We have a team developing a new platform for our Site that will make some changes that cannot be avoided any longer. We will try to make the process as simple and painless as possible. We are using the feedback we received last year from our customers to guide us through. We have already done some testing and we are about to invite nearly 10,000 of our e-mail subscribers to test the functionality and friendliness for us.
We hope to be up and running on the new version in August/September. Keep watching.

Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!!!
Many people get a new puppy for Christmas and with that new puppy come questions: “Is it normal for my puppy to ______________?
Just fill in the blank with anything from chewing, digging, whining, barking, and much more. To help answer that question, I’m going to list some “normal” puppy behaviors as well as behaviors that would be classified as “abnormal.”
Normal Puppy Behavior
Mouthing or chewing
Cautious but curious, removing objects from cabinets, trash, closets
Being active and energetic, “talking” or vocalizing during play
Avoiding direct eye contact except briefly
Easily distracted, short attention span
Wants to play with everything and anything
Pawing, batting at or pouncing on toys or people
Barking, whining and mild crying
Rolling over on back
Jumping up on people
Wants to be near you, following you, touching you while resting
Chewing on whatever is in sight, furniture, clothes, books & more
Sleep patterns: may be frequent, at odd times & may twitch during sleep
Rolling in smelly objects, such as rabbit droppings
Having to urinate every time he drinks, wakes up, plays or goes outside
Abnormal Puppy Behavior
Serious biting, snapping or attempting to bite people (and other pets)
Growling and/or serious aggression (not while playing)
Overly shy or fearful, may hide in corner, under furniture or in crate
Maintaining eye contact in an intimidating manner
Unable to concentrate or focus attention, even very briefly
Overly possessive of food, toys or bed
Attacking people or pets in a non-playful or threatening manner
Cowering and cringing
“Clingyness” – afraid to let owner out of sight
If your new puppy exhibits behaviors that concern you, call a professional trainer in your area for some advice. If you don’t know a trainer, please feel free to call to call or email me anytime with your questions.

Cute puppy with gifts
Provide a quite refuge for your pet. With all the holiday festivities, your pet will need a “time out” from visiting family and friends. A comfortable crate is one solution, or a room with a “Do Not Disturb” sign is another. Give your pet time and space to settle down or take a nap.
Please keep in mind that one of the busiest and most crowded times of the year in animal shelters is after the holidays as unwanted pets fill the shelters. Before giving a pet, make absolutely sure the recipient wants a pet, and what kind of pet they prefer. Better yet, give a certificate that says you will help them find the pet of their dreams. Not only will you be certain they are getting a pet they want and are ready for, but you will also be giving the gift of your time and company.
Happy Holidays!!!

A Bailout We Can Live With:
Behind Bars for Good
Certified Pet Dog Trainer and Jeffers very own pet specialist, Renee Jones-Lewis, will be going to jail on August 27th but it’s for a good cause.
Imagine being locked up behind bars - a total loss of personal freedom. It’s a scary thought for most of us, perhaps hard to imagine. Now imagine being locked inside your own body, unable to control certain parts - a total loss of personal freedom. For the latter there is no bail, no time off for good behavior and, as yet, no cure.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) will be sponsoring its annual Lock-Up program designed to raise money and awareness in local communities by “locking up” community leaders, businessmen, and local “celebrities”.
While Renee would hardly describe herself as a celebrity, she is widely known and respected in the pet/dog community. She not only works tirelessly to make sure that JeffersPet.com has the best products available but she owns a kennel, has several obedience/training classes each month and travels around the country speaking to hundreds of people each year at trade shows and conferences.
But come Thursday, August 27th, all that will come to a screeching halt as the doors slam behind her. “Bail” is set at $2600.00 but I believe that with Renee’s faithful following and Jeffers’ awesome customers, she should be able to easily surpass that goal. Please help Renee reach her goal and help MDA reach its goal. It only takes a minute and every dollar counts. To learn more or to donate to Renee’s “bail” CLICK HERE.
MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education.
MDA combats neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive medical and community services, and far-reaching professional and public health education. With national headquarters in Tucson, MDA has more than 200 offices across the country, sponsors 220 hospital-affiliated clinics and supports nearly 400 research projects around the world.
MDA supports more research on neuromuscular diseases than any other private-sector organization in the world. MDA scientists are in the forefront of gene therapy research and have uncovered the genetic defects responsible for several forms of muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease), childhood spinal muscular atrophy, and several other neuromuscular conditions.
The Association’s comprehensive service program includes medical examinations, flu shots, support groups, MDA summer camps for youngsters and assistance with purchase of wheelchairs and leg braces.
MDA was created in 1950 by a group of adults with muscular dystrophy, parents of children with muscular dystrophy, and a physician-scientist studying the disorder. Since its earliest days it has been energized by its number-one volunteer and national chairman, entertainer Jerry Lewis.
The Association’s programs are funded almost entirely by individual private contributors. – copied - http://mda.org/about.html
