I read that pets are likely to be just as overweight as their owners. Boy oh boy how I wish that were true in this house because my two are solid muscle. The Chihuahua Rescue and Transport is holding their annual fundraiser on February 11th.

Do Not Feed Your Cat

A couple of months ago I was at dinner at an acquaintance's house. Much to my horror, they had two very large cats. I took a deep breath and decided that I could handle it if I just ignored them. This became very difficult because as we sat down to dinner, the cats sat down as well- at the table.

Pets that Slither

One of my cousins used to have pet snakes. He was a strange boy. Every time I went over his house I would be afraid to leave the sight of his mother for fear that he would put the snake on me. Nevertheless snakes are common pets.

Leave the Wild in the Wild

The fact that I don't like cats is not a secret. But big cats are different. I love leopards, cheetahs, and lynxes. I used to love that show "Big Cat Diaries". When I was little I would always say that one day I would have a pet leopard.

A Collection Of Pets

I'll admit that I don't like to throw anything away. It doesn't matter if I haven't used it in 5 years because you never can be too sure about when you are going to need a broken fly swatter. That was a joke, (kind of), but it made me think about all the animals that are treated as collections.

Remember my post about Designer Dogs and how much they annoy me? Well here's a funny take on that phenomenon.

The Pug

Pugs are strange-looking dogs. They are so cute, but they are ugly too. They kind of look like piglets with their wrinkled face, curly tail and short body. These dogs come in 4 colors: black, apricot, silver and fawn. They have a short coat that is very easy to groom.

Scoop That Poop!

I never understood why people don't clean up after their dogs. Just because your dogs use the bathroom outside, it doesn't mean that you should just leave the poop there.

Till Death Do Us Part?

People love their pets. As a pet owner I fully understand this but there comes a time when you have to ask yourself, "am I taking this too far?" Apparently some people in Chicago are being buried with their pets.

Snickers & Reeses Favorites

Favorite Dog Treats: Canine Carryouts - These dog treats are the greatest. Reeses gives them two paws up. With flavors like beef & cheese and grilled chicken, dogs go crazy. From my point of view, the best thing about these treats is that they are cheap! They range from $0.99-$1.89 per bag.
