Last week I laid some foundations regarding adopting a pet, especially an older pet. This week we get down to the nitty-gritty that takes you beyond the excitement of planning a trip to an animal shelter or breeder where you are apt to fall instantly in love with many dogs and cats. Just like […]
As many of you already know, Gracie and I were formally adopted into this family in the fall of 2008. The vet figured Gracie was about 14 years old and I was about eight years old. Because of our past, it has taken much of this past year for me, in particular, to get used […]
Probably one of the most aggravating things we hear is, “If you have cats or dogs, your house ALWAYS stinks!” Talk about stereotyping a visible minority. Sheeash!! There outta be a law against such slander. Odours (if you are Canadian), or odors (if you are American), come from far more than your pets. Just smell […]
Comments Off on Odours – They’re Not all from Us!! | Category: Cat Housekeeping, Cats, Dog House keeping, Dogs, General chatter | Feeding six felines and two canines can be costly. But, around here, our people are always into saving money in every area and food is certainly a big “area” to be sure. So, Buzz personally supervised the on-line research efforts made by Andrea some time back, taking into consideration the implications of the statement, […]
For sure, yes, I LOVE my bath. Which, since I am a cat and many cats HATE getting a bath, is, I know, a little strange. But, my people got me started into the bathing routine when I was just a tiny kitten. I have attempted to jump into the shower when it has […]
We have a labeller in our house. Not one of those little plastic gun type things where you press out letters on a strip of sticky tape. Oh no. Our labeller is just over five feet tall and possesses a brain with eyes that see something and figures it should be labelled. There are post-it […]
A while back I had that little accident where I pulled all the muscles down my left side. It was, without a doubt, a painful situation. Someone told my people that you can give dogs a little dose of children’s liquid acetaminophen when they are in pain. I am here to tell you “DON’T DO […]
Comments Off on Acetaminophen + Cats and Dogs | Category: Cat Health, Cats, Dog Health, Dogs, General chatter | You didn’t know we were gone but, we were, and now we are back. Our people family dropped Coby and me (Sandi) off at Gramma and Grampa’s in Hamilton on June 21st and headed down to the sunny south city of Orlando, Florida for a church convention. While they were gone, Coby and me had […]
While we were discussing whether or not we should purchase a bunch of Canadian flags to celebrate Canada Day on July 1, being somewhat educated cats, it occurred to us that our American friends might not be so excited about Canada Day since they are focussed on Independence Day! So, Americans, on July 4th wave […]
Being a little dog has its perks, but also its drawbacks, as I discovered this week. For one thing, my person, Andrea, lets me sleep with her and I just love being a live teddy bear, especially since I just hate sleeping or being alone. Being small of stature means I can find places to […]
