Drop the Vet Bill, Know What You Can Do at Home...

Everyone knows that those visits to the doctor’s office can be a little ridiculous sometimes. Even if you have an insurance that covers a good portion of your expenses, the deductibles and prescriptions can really add up. Well, you may have realized that the same goes for those pet bills! On average, for a medium sized dog, a nail clipping is around $20, a bathing about $40, and an ear cleaning about $20. Why not cut...

Creating a Photo-Friendly Opportunity...

I’d be willing to bet that most pet owners have tried to snap a picture of their animal friend at some point or another. For me, I’m a photographer, so you know I’ve tried a million times. However, it seems that our pets are willing to take pictures up until the moment you pull the camera out. Then, something happens, and you can’t get a picture of them if your life depended on it. Maybe we’re...

She is a very jealous cat and before I came along it was just her and my husband. Every time my husband and I are watching TV she will always come and jump on his lap.

My Cat Purl...

Out of all of our animals Purl, our kitty is the one we spend the most time with. She is in the house with us all of the time and so we are around her whenever we are home. She is a pretty funny cat if you ask me. She is very snobby when she wants to be and she will only come and sit on your lap when she chooses to. If you try to hold her and she does not want to be held she will make it very uncomfortable for you until...

Moving The Chinchillas...

Snowflake...

When I was a little girl around the age of 5 years old, I got my first pet. His name was Snowflake and he was a white and grey short haired cat. Snowflake came to my front door around Christmas time when it was snowing outside. He was a kitten then and he showed up to our front door with a bloody paw! My mom said that we could keep him as long as nobody came around looking for him. I was so excited! I wrapped a bandied...
