How To Ease Your Pet's Separation Anxiety While You Are Away

Jill McCoy — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:58:34 +0000

If you are a pet owner, you know how hard it can be to leave your pet to go on vacation. Some pets don't mind being boarded at the vet or staying with friends or family, but others go absolutely bizzerk when they are parted from their owner. Your pet is like your child, and you don't want them to act out or mope around while you are away. How can you ease your pet's anxiety when you are away? I think I have a couple solutions.

This cat loves his new toy. His new toy isn't a toy, it's a pen. Still the enjoyment is enough to make me smile.

Where My Dawgs At?

Jill McCoy — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:30:28 +0000

There are a couple of reasons why I still enjoy going home to my parent's house. Delicious, home cooked meals; spending time with my family; and playing with my two sweet, little angels. Sometimes I catch myself thinking about how gentle, loving and amazing pets are. My life would not be the same without my two furry friends.

This Dog Literally Cannot Handle All These Cupcakes

Michael Scott — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:29:15 +0000

I love cupcakes…heck, who DOESN’T like cupcakes? I’m not sure I like cupcakes as much as this dog though. This dog can’t handle the sight and smell of this tray of yummy cupcakes. His mind gets completely blown. Seriously.

Can Having a Pet Make You Healthier and Help Your Finances? — Dollars and Sense

Shauna Wright — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 08:45:39 +0000

Thanks to the faltering economy, many Americans are opting not to take on the expense of pet ownership — but could they actually be doing themselves more harm than good? Although we collectively own 70 million dogs and 74 million cats, those numbers have dropped rather precipitously in the past six years, likely because of [...]

The Ant Farm Has Come A Long Way [Video]

Bruce Mikells — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:19:11 +0000

When I was a kid ant farms came with dirt, not NASA space gel. I think it gives the appearance that the ants are crawling around in air freshener.

Will You Take Your Pets on Vacation with You? – Survey of the Day

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:30:13 +0000

Taking a pet with you on vacation can be a challenge. Just ask Mitt Romney, who still gets grief about the time he strapped his Irish Setter — who was suffering from diarrhea — to the roof of his car during a family trip in 1983. Nevertheless, it seems that most pet owners still take their favorite furball on vacation with them.

When Animals Attack – Squirrel Bites Boy [Video]

Bruce Mikells — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:58:09 +0000

This young man has found a squirrel, not a baby squirrel, this squirrel looks like Buddha with fur. Naturally the question about keeping the squirrel as a pet rears its ugly head. That is when the squirrel takes matters into its own hands or should I say teeth.

Cat vs. Automatic Feeder [Video]

Bruce Mikells — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:30:53 +0000

The owner of these cats decided not only was the automatic feeder a good idea, he thought setting up a video camera would make it a better idea. He was right! Watch for a major cat battle about :26 into the clip.

Billy Dukes — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 05:30:40 +0000

Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum has a puppy that looks like a living teddy bear. Jake Owen has two slobbery bulldogs. Who’s to say that one is cuter than the other, however? You can make that decision on your own at the end of this list of the cutest pets in country music.

Amazing Bait Shop Will Help You Catch Fish [Video]

Bruce Mikells — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 08:37:01 +0000

I still don’t believe it is possible to actually catch a live fish using an artificial lure. That’s why I depend on great bait shops like Pet Nutz in Morrow Georgia for all my live bait and pet needs. Just watch their commercial, you will be hooked too! Did you see how quickly the fish [...]

I Left You My Dawg!

Bruce Mikells — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 12:14:28 +0000

I can only imagine the kind of friend you would have to have for this job. We have a tough enough time getting someone to watch our dog when we go away for the weekend, much less the rest of his life. I guess there are those that are particular about their furry friends. The [...]

Pets Treated Like People

Bruce Mikells — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 15:24:24 +0000

The picture you see next to this post is of our (actually Jill and the kids) dog, Cotton. As dogs go he is one. He licks himself the way dogs should, he has accidents that I usually find with bare feet in the dark and he barks at the dinner table. He is treated better than me. Why is that? I'm at least toilet trained.
