Help! I don’t mean to sound shallow and I really really love all my pets, but I dread the coming of spring, otherwise known as the “mud season.” No matter how hard I try, I just cannot keep them from constantly tracking mud into the house and all over the carpets and it is so frustrating.
Cassidy is a super friendly teenager, good with her foster mom’s little yippy dogs and her other cats. As you can see, she is also very affectionate toward people, so much so that it’s hard to take her picture because she wants to just rub against your legs. So you just have to trust us that she is very pretty with a little half bob tail.
OK, I’m confused and a little annoyed. I just sent a donation to the Humane Society of the United States and almost the very next day, I got a newsletter from the Oswego County Humane Society asking for a donation. Don’t they talk to each other? If I send money to the national organization, I assume they just divvy it up, so why can’t the Oswego County Humane Society just leave me alone?
Don’t worry about Snickers’ eye. It’s fine, she just ALWAYS closes at least one eye when you try to take her picture. She is a pretty muted calico tortie with an impish personality. She’ll play with people, just not “up close” – so laser pointers and fishing pole type toys are her favorites. She happily sleeps with the other cats in her foster home and plays with them, too.
We love the ASPCA. They do such good work on a national level on all kinds of animal issues, but the one part of their work that we love the most is the information they provide to pet owners. We rely on that for the technical information in many of these columns. And, here we go again.
For a variety to reasons – sometimes because we have taken in a mother and her kittens and the mother was trying to survive on her own and was never well-socialized, sometimes because we take in kittens that are just a little too old to socialize easily, we end up with cats in foster care who will probably never be happy as house cats.
Gemma was found in Central Square and rescued by a kind lady who already had a houseful of kitties of her own. She was nervous in her foster home at first with its other cats, but has now settled down. She likes to be petted, you can pick her up and when she has the run of the house, she wanders about to check out the area, plays with cat toys, and investigates the bird cage!
I took my three-month-old puppy, Leo, in for his first vet visit yesterday and my vet told me that he could be neutered at five months with no problem. Bur when I checked on the internet I found all kinds of warnings about neutering your dog too early and the health problems it can cause. What do you think?
