Dogs now love the nightlife!!!
Yesterday by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
So you want to "boogie" at night, but are stuck at home because you don't want to leave your dogs behind!!! A Los Angeles business man named Brandon Hochman felt just the same way. He truly enjoyed the nightlife, but felt guilty about leaving his...

Before I begin this entry, I want to let my readers know that I have been absent for a couple of weeks. There have been some technical difficulties, but I think they are all worked out now and I truly look forward to posting everyday, any and all...
Thinking About Fostering
58 hours ago by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
As I mentioned in my last post, I've applied to be a foster dog parent. I talked to hubby about it and while he's not as thrilled about it as I am he didn't say no, which is as good as a yes in my book. So now I'm starting to think about all the...
Kitties and the Elderly
58 hours ago by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
I was at the veterinarian's office the other day, and while waiting I was looking at their bulletin board of announcements. There were, as there have always been, a multitude of posts in regard to cats needing a new home because their parent or...

A Different Kind of Foster Parent
06/30/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
I would love to foster a dog. It would help me get that "new dog" itch scratched but not truly tie us to having 4 dogs full time. I *think*. It would also be really hard for me to let go if I got attached. And I don't see how I wouldn't get...
Too Hot for Living Souls
06/28/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
Today in the Pacific Northwest it is in the 90s. It's a "dry" heat, which means absolutely nothing to me except that I know humidity is just more miserable. We're not used to this kind of weather though. Summer has been slow in coming, and while I...
A Home for Every Cat
06/25/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
I talk a lot about dogs here but I have a secret...I used to be terrified of dogs! I grew up with cats.My mom tells a story about my dad, who did not want a pet, coming home and tossing a new kitten on the table and saying "here." What a sweetie....
Can You Adopt a Deaf Moose?
06/24/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
A mini-moose that is...a sweet and deaf dog who is currently being fostered. I can only imagine the challenges that having a deaf dog presents but as Quinn gets older I see us tackling some of those issues. She's either starting to go deaf or really...
When Cute Isn't Good
06/24/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
When you enter the house does your dog go a little nuts? Or does your dog go bananas? Our dogs get really excited, but usually Quinn is just excited to be let outside to relieve her old lady bladder. Other than running to the back door to let her...
Doggles to keep your dog's eyes safe!
06/20/2008 by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
Doggles are goggles for dogs that have gained popularity for our four legged friends because of their practicality, ease of use, and their "coolness" factor. So why would you buy goggles for your dog? A dog's eyes are senstitive to sunlight just...

Kitty Proofing the House
06/19/2008 by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
So, you've just gotten a new kitten, and you delight in the little fur ball's antics. However, kittens have claws, and claws are used for climbing fun things, like drapes. So, how do you as a new kitty parent make sure that your kitten is safe?...
Reality TV has truly gone to the dogs!!
06/19/2008 by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
If you haven't seen all of the reality TV that you need in a lifetime already, and are a dog lover, you are in for a treat. On CBS networks beginning on July 10th, will be a new show titled, Greatest American Dog. How can a show with dogs possibly...
Animals Are Not People
06/18/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
My heart is as big as can be when it comes to pets and animals. However, I think that logical dictates that some animals have more value than others. I do not value a fish as much as I value my dogs. I do not value the life of the stray, unneutered...

06/17/2008 by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
Continuing on with Part 2 of the discussion, I've had firsthand experience as to how stray cats can be welcomed into a home. When I was in the 3rd grade, I often used to go over to visit my grandparents. They lived near a field, and said field often...
Pet Adoption Month

Did you know? It's Pet Adoption Month!I've mentioned a couple times that we adopted Quinn and we found her through Petfinder.com. Hubby wasn't so sure but I had fallen in love with her sweet face. Though she was a bit skinnier back then. Ha!Things...
Dogs are victims of a bad economy!
06/16/2008 by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
With the increase in housing forclosures and bankruptcies, humans are not the only victims of this economic suffering. Unfortunately shelters are being swamped with animals who are being abandoned because their owners are just up and leaving their...
Stray Cats: Do They Make Good Companions? Part 1
06/16/2008 by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
I live near a farm, that's situated on acres of forested land. So, it only makes sense that there would be stray cats in the area. Indeed, I've noticed that wherever there's an abundance of brush and forest, there's stray cats taking refuge. A few...
Saving Shelter Pets - a Worthy Organization
06/16/2008 by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
I mentioned a few days (or has it already been a few weeks?) ago that all money earned from this blog is going to be donated to Saving Shelter Pets, a non-profit charity rescue organization that has captured my heart. I think part of the reason why...
Dogs can have heart murmurs too!
06/15/2008 by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
Just like humans, dogs can have heart murmurs. A heart murmur means that there is an abnormal blood flow in the heart, which may be caused by a malfunction of the heart valves or a lack of communication between the left side and the right side of...
