Can dogs see ghosts?
Can dog's see ghosts? This topic interests me because I have always wondered if my dogs could see spirits. When I bought my first house, after only two weeks, I sensed I had a spirt of an older man. He would visit from time to time but it never bothered me nor did my dogs ever give me any indication they could see him. I even thought I might be overreacting considering my dogs were very good...
Pets, Wills, and Trusts
Many of us don't think about creating a Will for ourselves and our families let alone one for our pets. And working with an attorney can be expensive. Many don't think about what happens once they pass and the living pet is now left without a home or anyone to take care of it. The way Thomas and I see it, is that our dogs are our children and they should be taken care of should anything...
The number one music genre to help sooth pet anxiety
I received a new blog suggestion yesterday which got me excited and interested in doing my research. One being that I’m helping a friend acclimate to owning a new dog and helping the dog acclimate to her new home and the other being just out of curiosity. So this topic works perfectly with what is going on in my life right now. I always turn on country music for Jake and Maggie when I leave...
Ethanol Toxicosis in Cats
Happy Monday everyone! I wrote this post over a year ago but after receiving such great feedback on my questionnaire and more requests to post on cat related topics, I decided to do more research and re-post for those who are new to the blog and to all the cat lovers out there. I wrote a similar post around the same time, Is Beer and Wine Toxic to Dogs and Cats (HERE), with the same look and...
Is beer and wine toxic to dogs and cats?
Is beer and wine toxic to dogs and cats? The answer is YES! We may have all seen at one in point in our lives, whether in person or on video, of someone giving a dog alcohol. I have never seen it in person and I always try to stay positive in my blogging but I have to be honest, I came across a picture of a puppy being forced fed alcohol and it made me sick to my stomach. You...
Six ways to alleviate pet anxiety
I’ve recently been helping a friend with a situation involving a very sweet Portuguese Water Dog whose owner has passed away. She came as a pair with her brother but the family has split them up leaving this poor sweet girl to find a new home. She is now with my friend and suffering from anxiety. She’s been through a lot in a short period of time and although is now safe, warm, and fed, she...
One sure way to travel with your pet
Did you know that Pittsburgh, PA has been ranked #7 as a foodie destination? I've been watching the transition over the years and the addition of many delicious restaurants which Thomas and I have had the pleasure of trying. Now that we have Jake and Maggie, I'm also searching for dining that will allow us to bring our two monsters! I just came across a site...BringFido at www.bringfido.com and...
What your groomer is really trying to say
We have a wonderful groomer in Eureka, MO that we take Jake and Maggie to for their bath and toenail trim. They leave smelling good and always have a fun bandana tied around their neck. But...it's bit of a different story here in WV. We went from showing up at one location three different times to find the groomer was always late. We left one groomer because it was absolutely filthy. But...
One way to know if your dog loves you
One way to know if your dog loves you 1/9/20192 Comments Last week I did a post (see here), that talked about how dogs show their love for you. This week I want to talk about how smiling at your dog can increase their love and devotion for you. I had given Jake and Maggie a new toy to play with and as you all know, my little monsters can destroy a toy in 2.5 seconds. It was raining outside so we...
Beaver County Adoptions
t's been awhile since I've posted anything from the Beaver County Human Society and was happy to see their emails come through this morning! I had planned on a totally different post (which I will do later) but wanted to share these sweet fur babies with you. I hate to see them sitting in shelters but happy to help in any way I can to advertise in hopes they will find a forever home. Thomas...
