I am about ready to put a flower garden in for the first time and I’m wondering whether you have any suggestions about how to dog and cat proof it. Not so much using chemicals or fertilizers, I know about that, but I am hoping that they will not ruin it.
We’ve featured Ally before, but she still needs a home and she just keeps getting prettier and more mellow while she waits. When Ally was found under a porch she was so thin that her rescuers thought she was a kitten. She was at least a year old but only weighed 4 pounds. She was also scared and had no idea how to play.
Aren’t there safe and effective ways to control those little buggers without resorting to deadly chemicals? If I sound like one of those tree-huggers, well that would be me, but I would also like to be able to hug my flea and tick free pets without exposing myself (let alone what it does to my pets) to a bunch of chemicals that I have no idea whether they are safe.
Merle is a big lovey handsome young fella whose current job is “office cat.” He is totally in charge of all business operations, goes from lap to lap and computer to computer making sure that his directions are followed and that he gets the respect and attention (and kisses) he deserves. In spite of his huge responsibilities, he is laid back and totally easy-going.
I know we are getting close to flea season again, even though it doesn’t look it outside my window. Sigh. But I was wondering what you think about the importance of flea control for pets. I have been using various treatments for years and honestly, it has been a long time since I actually saw a flea anywhere near any of my pets.
Help! We have always been conscientious about using a topical flea and tick product on our pets, and that has always seemed to be effective. But we have never started it before May at the earliest and now our dog, Sam, is coming in with ticks almost every day since early March.
This big, beautiful girl is Tinkerbell. Her mom had to give her up when she went in an assisted living facility. And SHE had taken her from yet another lady who went into nursing care. So, this sweet and friendly girl, who purrs like a motor, “chats” with you like your best friend, and wants nothing more than to curl up on your lap, needs a forever home.
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?
