"Kindness and Concern"

After the rescue of a feral tabby and her 4 kittens, from an ornamental wishing well no less, a kind Little Shelter employee mailed me a certificate to help defray the cost of spaying the mother cat after weaning her kittens. Their kindness and concern will not be forgotten. ~ Dawn read more

New Tank

I got a new tank! When Cassie bought me, I was moved from the cup I was in to a 1/2 gal drum bowl. It was almost 2x as big as the cup, but I think she wanted me to have more room. I'm a growing boy ya know? So she bought me a 1 gal drum bowl. It's so much better! I know she wants me to have a nifty tank like Bubbles someday, but I don't think there's room right now. read more

Plea to electric fence owners

This heartbreaking letter came from a woman who trains at my obedience club. She gave me permission to post it: If you have an electric fence please, please don't put all your faith in it. While coming home tonight down a busy road in a very expensive suburb I found 2 German Shepherds, one sitting next to the dead body of his friend. It had just happened because she was still very warm. Both had electric collars on. Probably 80-90% of the dogs I cha… read more

Amazing Ferret Toy that Does Not Cost Anything

Recently my mom sent me an Easter basket. Since she shipped it to me she sent it in a box and filled it with a bunch of papers and plastic bags to keep the basket in place. My ferrets love that box of papers and plastic bags and we still have not thrown it out. They are in that box a couple of times a day rummaging through it. It is one of their favorite toys and it did not cost us anything. If you are looking for a fun toy for your ferrets, this is the one. read more

Mimi

My cat is hysterical! We have soooo much fun together because no matter what you do to her, she always comes back and wants to be pet. She likes almost everyone is you pet her, and she purrs as soon as you touch her. Recently my family accidentally bought her dog food because it was the same brand as the cat food. I pointed it out to my sister and she laughed. My mom said she was wondering why the cat hadn't been eating very much and she went out and bought new food. Luckily she like… read more

We can't use that brand again apparently. Calvin is a whole lotta work but we wouldn't have him any other way. read more

Dog Food...

With all of the recalls on dog food, as of late, we no longer buy dog food with preservatives or wheat gluten. We try not to by products with corn in them either, because upon researching dog diets, I found out that many dogs are allergic to corn by-products. My advice is to find all-natural dog treats... or better yet, make your own! There are great recipes online for dog biscuits that are quick and easy... and waaay better for your dog than most of the treats you can find on the shelves. read more

Simba and the laser pointer!

Simba loves to play with the laser pointer and I love to watch him! When I am not pointing it, he sits on the floor, waiting for me to play with him. He jumps up the wall, then runs after the red point. Sometimes he bats at it and I move it as if he has pushed it away. He will run from one end of the house to the other, turn on a dime and return to chase the point of light! He gives me so many laughs! read more
