Because of Cleo's debilitating conditions, mainly her blindness. I worry that at her age, she's getting bored with life. I can't walk her as much as I'd like due to my own health issues, so I worry that she's not getting enough stimulation.

I googled Is Chamomile Tea safe for dogs and much to my delight it was. I had left over tea from the night before but wanted to make sure I didn't make my girls sick before tipping it into their bowl. Cleo saw me approach the bowl, so she followed. "You want?" "Of course! I … Continue reading Doggy Rewards

The wrapper was barely in the recycling bag for five minutes before Cleo, my near blind senior who's nose could put a bloodhound to shame, found the wrapper, fished it out of the bag and commenced … Continue reading The Things Furkids do to remind us of their presence…
Milly likes to act like the cats so that anything that looks soft enough to bed down in, she'll use it. This often includes a stray shopping bag that found its way to the floor. Imagine my amusement when Milly toddles into the kitchen with the strap of a material bag saddling her back legs, … Continue reading Going Shopping?
One of my rats wasn't happy with me just now. She had injured her foot a day or so ago, and I'd noticed it last night when I was doing my daily head count. Having 7 rats, I constantly need to make sure all are still alive and none have escaped, with so many ratters … Continue reading Trials of a Rat
