The Most Innocent “Kidnapping” YouR...

Years and years ago when I was just a little girl, my family lived in a duplex division right off of a busy street. I was never allowed to go in the front without someone else, and I was forbidden to ride my bike or walk even as close as across the street. One day however, my best friend and I had been outside when we kept hearing a meowing sound. We tried to look everywhere that we could without crossing the street,...

The Funny Things Pets Do...

In our family we have quite a few pets. We have two chocolate labs, a Himalayan cat and two chinchillas. There are a lot of pretty funny things we catch our pets doing. For example our cat Purl loves to go inside of things. Purl likes to jump into cardboard boxes, our clothes hampers and even the dresser drawers. She is so funny to watch because she will jump in and then she will try to explore whatever is inside this...

Pets with Bad Habits...

Does you dogs or cats have any bad habits that you would like to break? Our dogs have got some horrible habits! One of the worst habits our dogs have is waking up at 7:00am every morning. My fiancé and I are not what you would consider morning people. We wake up to dogs barking every morning bright and early! They sleep in a crate in the garage and when the sun comes up they want to go outside and play! Now our cat...

The dog shelter!...

I know what you’re thinking by the title of this story it cannot be a very happy one. You would not believe what happened two days ago. My fiancé and I were busy working when we noticed our two chocolate labs were nowhere to be found. How could this be? We have a big backyard for them to run around in and a fence closes it off so that they cannot get out. Well it turns out somebody and we still do not know whom, left...

A Crazy Winter...

I do not know about you but we had a crazy winter this year, and I don’t even think we have seen the worst of it yet! I am from Oregon and it does not usually snow in the winter. This year not only did it snow but we got at least 4 feet of snow at our house! We have two chocolate labs and they are not used to the snow. For our two dogs it was very hard to be out in the snow. Both dogs have very short hair and when...

Snoring Dogs…...

Have you ever heard a dog snore? My fiancé and I have two chocolate labs and they both snore very loudly! We have a crate for them inside our house and they sleep right next to us. I think that they snore louder then any human I have ever heard snore! My fiancé snores but he never snores very loud. I am always able to wake him up and tell him he is snoring, so that he can stop snoring. But what do you do about dogs?...

Gonzo the Bird...

When I was 21 I moved in with my Uncle, who lived in Oregon City. One if the first things I noticed about his house was the huge bird cage in the living room. My uncle had a bird and his name was Gonzo. Now Gonzo was the type of bird that talked and very well! When you said “Hi Gonzo” he would say “Hello” it was so cute! Now Gonzo was not always the easiest bird to get a log with. For some reason...
