Life for those with four legs in our house is pretty dang good!  Last night it was just me and the boys, hanging out on the couch watching “the Blacklist”.  It is really wonderful to have their company when everyone else in the household is out and about.   The boys really enjoy it tooContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”  Do you have a pet that lives with anxiety?   Lucas, my lovely old fellow, is not a lover of the elements.  This morning I woke up to a quaking dog, I didn’t even have to check the weather network or look out the window, I knewContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Cats are both nocturnal and diurnal?  What am I talking about, in the wild, relatives to our domesticated pets, are nocturnal, meaning they are awake and active  during the night. Domesticity has transformed our four legged friends  to coincide their sleeping patterns with their human housemates, developing a diurnal pattern of being more active duringContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over….”

Nose prints on the window.  When I am walking past the living room, I often notice Lucas’ slobber and nose prints on the glass and think “gotta get out the Windex”.  Once a week, I give them a good scrub so when I look out nothing obscures my view and so that people passing byContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Who knew…  My cat had these bumps under his chin, I thought he had gotten into a scrape with a doggie visitor, they  looked a little angry so I had them checked out by our Vet.  On the upside, Romeo’s bumps weren’t from teeth, much to my surprise, my little boy has Feline Acne.  ThisContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

What a week, the furnace decided that after 29 years it was ready to call it quits, two days later I got rear ended on the way to an appointment, whiplash isn’t fun.  I was out walking with the dogs and thinking about whether I had made the right choice on what furnace to installContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

What’s in a name?  I was walking with my daughter today and she was talking about a neighbour’s dog from Thunder Bay, he was a Sheltie and they called him Maverick.  The definition of the word Maverick is an unorthodox person or independent minded person.  She pondered whether they had the name for the dogContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Some of my best friends have four legs.  I was thinking this morning about the animals I have known in my life and the impact that they have made on my heart.  It may sound crazy but some of the strongest childhood memories I have are related to the animals I befriended.  When I wasContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Why is the vacuum an evil usurper sent to do Satan’s bidding?   This is what I ask myself every time I try and vacuum when Rupert comes to visit?   I have two different vacuum’s, a canister style that I use on the hardwood and a Dyson for my area carpets, doesn’t matter whichContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

You may think I am covered in fur, but I see it as being coated in love.  I have to be honest, I am not a fashion maven! I don’t do make-up and realistically my ‘getting ready to start the day look’, takes 30 minutes, and that’s  including my shower time, which becomes 20 inContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”
