Dog Rules for House Guests....Love these Rules!!!

Dog Rules for House Guests

You are welcome to visit my house as long as you abide by the rules...

1. Do not expect that they will put me outside during your visit.
2. My house. My fur. My dander. If you have allergies, take a pill or stay home.
3. If you don’t want hair on your clothes, don’t sit on the “fur”-niture.
4. My ears and tail are not toys for your children.
5. Anything dropped on the floor is mine after 1 second.
6. During dinner I will lie quietly under the chair of the messiest eater.
7. Please feel free to drink lots of beer. Drunks drop more food.
8. That thing where you pretend to throw something and then hide it behind your back…not funny.
9. The spot in front of the door is reserved for me. Walk around.
10. When it comes to protecting my family against outsiders, I have no sense of humor. You are an outsider. Keep that in mind.

While you are here I am not supposed to

Jump up and lick your face
Use your lap for a towel
Eat grass and barf
Sniff your crotch
Hunch your leg
Lick my balls
Fart

Please keep in mind my sacrifices and obey the rules.

And of Course Give me my favorite Treats from To-Shea Inc.

Wishing You and Your Pet a Safe and Happy Holiday...:-)

Hello Everyone,

Lights, decorations, good food... every year, as we celebrate the holidays, we fill our homes with seasonal cheer for ourselves and our families. However, what may seem beautiful and harmless to us may pose hidden dangers to our pets.
Don't let an emergency spoil the festivities!
Below are some common holiday hazards for dogs and cats and ways to prevent them.

Holiday Hazards How to keep your pet safe
Dangerous Foods
The following can be toxic to pets: chocolate, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts, garlic, onion, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, bread dough, and sugar-free candy and gum containing the artificial sweetener xylitol.

Regular Foods
Despite tradition, bones should never be given to pets. Even beef, ham, and other "regular" foods that are not considered toxic can cause illness in pets. If your pet is a moocher, keep a saucer of his regular treats on the table to offer when he asks. He probably won't know the difference!

New Treats and Toys
Even a pet-safe treat can cause stomach upset if it is new to your pet. Offer only one of these at a time (ideally, separated by a few days). If your pet becomes ill after eating a holiday treat, it will be easier to trace the source and discontinue it. Also, check new toys for sharp edges, pieces that can be chewed off, or other potential hazards.

Plants Hazardous
plants include mistletoe, some evergreens (including some types of pine), and holly bushes and berries. Try to keep these plants away from pets, or at least supervise pets when dangerous plants are nearby.

Decorations
Tinsel, tree ornaments, ribbons, string, and garlands are some items that can be dangerous if eaten by pets. Keep these items away from pets — especially when pets are unattended. Don't forget to cover any electrical cords or keep them out of reach.

Fire and Carbon Monoxide
Monitor pets near fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, candles, and portable heaters. Also, don't forget to check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to make sure they are functioning properly. Space heaters, furnaces, and idling cars (in a garage) can increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in pets and humans.

Christmas Trees
Monitor your pets when they are around your holiday tree. Pets may eat the needles (even from artificial trees) or drink water from the base of the tree, which can be toxic (especially if there are preservatives in it). Keep electrical cords and decorative lights out of reach, too.

In many cases, if your pet has eaten or drunk something toxic, warning signs will include gastrointestinal problems, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Other signs may include tiredness and lack of appetite, especially in cats that have eaten lilies. If your pet shows any of these signs, or if you think he or she has eaten something dangerous but is not showing any signs yet, please call us right away. Treating your pet as soon as possible is essential!

We will be glad to answer any questions you have about your pet's health. Let's work together to make sure your entire family has a happy, healthy holiday season!

Loving like cats and dogs

Here is a update on stories I have posted in the past.
After you read these stories, please visit my website at:

Cats and dogs are supposed to be natural enemies. "Fighting like cats and dogs" is a familiar cliché, but two recent stories show that isn’t always the case.
Reagan, a yellow Lab in Des Moines, Iowa refused to go inside, guarding a bag of Meow Mix in her back yard. Her owner thought it was trash until she opened it and discovered two mewing kittens and the bloody remains of other kittens.
Apparently the bag had been discarded and run over before Reagan rescued them.
After being rejected by all the area shelters, Reagan’s owner contacted the Raccoon Valley Animal Shelter which picked them up. Executive director Linda Blakeley fostered them.

"Reagan protected them," Blakely said. "Her instinct was to nurture."

When they were old enough to be adopted, no one was interested until the story was picked up by an area TV station. Then over 50 applications flooded in. Where have we heard this before? The story
And in Phoenix a Chihuahua and a tabby cat were walking down the street like they were best friends. They were taken to the Arizona Humane society where they were separated into dog area and cat area. But soon it became clear that Lola the Chihuahua was having separation anxiety. She became fearful, a very different dog.
A shelter spokesperson said:

“The minute we brought Logan back and reunited them the demeanor changed completely, she was very friendly and you truly can tell they were the best of friends.”

Normally the Humane Society keeps dogs and cats in completely separate buildings, but when the staff saw how miserable Logan and Lola were apart they gave them their own room together.

Now they are determined to find forever homes for both of them, no matter how long it takes.
