Water Bottle Tail-Re Post

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010

Due to technical difficulties I’m re posting this posting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What dog does not like to  GO FOR….a ride and then go to the park? Besides a hike , it is a all time favorite of Ozzbourne’s.  It gives him the chance to run and play with a ball or a stick. A few years ago while we (my husband, myself and Ozzbourne) were relaxing at the park, Ozzbourne created a new toy. Water Bottle 2

I had finished my bottle of water and laid it down in the grass. A few minutes had gone by and all of a sudden Ozzbourne reached over, snatched up the bottle in his mouth and took off running. He tossed it in the hair and then bounced to grab it again when he failed to catch it and it hit the ground.

Water bottle Oz

He has since become spoiled with wanting to drink out of our bottles and then turn them into a toy. Have a wonderful weekend. Ozzbourne will be getting a bath.

New Moon Farm Tail

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010

I had the great experience as a child of spending some summers  at the Oregon fairgrounds. I spent most of my time in the various barns. Occasionally I had the opportunity to play with the goats. I was also raised for a brief time on goats milk.  When I heard of New Moon Farm , I had to share them with you.

New Moon farm is a goat rescue organization. It began in 1999 when Ellen the owner and operator adopted a goat named Ziggy, who is a permanent resident. For a more in depth story read ” New Moon Farm in Arlington offers goats a second chance” article by the Arlington Times.

If you are fond of goats, visit The Maaaaa of Pricilla blog. A very entertaining place to visit where you can find a link to Happy Goats Soap, a shop with soap made of goats milk.

Our House: Harley and Ozzbourne are wonderful siblings. They groom each other from time to time. Oz does get a little aggressive by getting his teeth involved. Harley cries like a baby to tell him it hurts. There are times when dogs just don’t listen to a warning…SMACK!

Take That!

Take That!

An Interview With Breeze Tail

Posted by admin on February 19th, 2010

Good Evening, this is Patricia and I’m here with Breeze, the mascot of Miss Breezy’s Box.  I have been given permission to interview her here on her high perch.

An Interview With Breeze

An Interview With Breeze

Patricia: Do you know where you came from?

Breeze: I was born to a black cat,  I forgot her name. She was feisty, she almost took the ear off  a pit bull. She belonged to a friend of yours and she gave me and my siblings away to loving homes.

Patricia: Do you remember the day you were adopted?

Breeze: Oh yes, it was a very stressful day. I took the trip to my new home in a vehicle and ran in a panic around and around. Once there, I was introduced to two very large dogs. I hissed and growled at them and then I eventually learned that they adored me as I did them.

Patricia: What do you think of your adoptive siblings?

Breeze: Ozzbourne is great, he’s just there, here, wherever..uh….Really,  I just can’t say much about him.

Harley-I took him under my wings and now I regret that. He body slams me while walking down the hallway. He also persists to annoy me after several hisses and smacks I give him across the face. The darn kid is a glutton for punishment.

Patricia: What are your favorite toys?

Breeze: Medium size balls that have fuzz, so I can tuck them into my tummy and kick them with my claws out. OH!! and plastic balls with bells inside them. They produce great sound effects.

Patricia: What are your duties as Mascot, supervisor and quality control of Miss Breezy’s Box?

Breeze: As Mascot-I have to endure photo shoots, supervisor-I watch the production process and as quality control-I grab the product and play with it fast and quick before it gets snatched away. Sometimes , the product has to be re-crafted, but that’s not my problem.

Patricia: What do you think of your adoptive human parents?

Breeze: You’re great,  I know you miss her dearly, but now that Tabatha has passed, I can approach you. It is very entertaining to watch you around the house doing this and that.

The big guy-We have..uh…I think you call it a twisted relationship. I like to get ruff in our play by hissing and swatting with my claws out. He gives it right back with a tap on my side, head or a tug on my tail. I know you think I’m really mad at times, maybe sometimes I am, but I would just run away if that were the case. Besides I have to win by getting the last strike in, when I draw the blood. Game over!

Patricia: Well, thank you Breeze, I don’t have anymore questions.

I have enjoyed interviewing you. I appreciate you more everyday.

Breeze: Thank you.

Should I be Worried Tail?

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010

Harley & I'm worriedI was resting the other day and sat up to Harley eying me in bed. I wasn’t moving and I didn’t see any bugs. Should I be worried about him or maybe my safety?

Update: I received a beautiful Thank You card from the Poppy Foundation after I made a donation that I commented about on my last post.  I wanted to share Jennifer Nelson, the Artist behind the photography of the card.  She takes wonderful images of Nevada’s wildlife. You can view her gallery on her Changing Woman Photography website.

I have added a button on the far right column for “My Pet Savings“.  I’m going to be trying some of the deals out soon. Check them out.

Enjoy this great 3 minute video of  “Animals are us”.

Announcement: Jazper Kitty needs a permanent home. Please forward the link to as many as you can to help our friends out.

Final note: Thank you all for stopping by! I’m sorry to put so much in one post. I have been back to work for almost two months now. I hope the work keeps coming to Las Vegas!

I have discovered another great pet charity right here in Las Vegas, NV. -The Poppy Foundation. Visit the foundations website to read the tail of the kitty named  Poppy that started the wonderful work that this charity does.  I just made a donation in honor of Poppy to sponsor Hope.

Harley is not camera shy and wanted to share some close ups of himself.

Enjoy your funny animals!

Winning Tail

Posted by admin on January 17th, 2010

I read several blogs and especially like one called  365 Cat Ladies and Friends. The artist is Susan Faye and she claims her occupation as being a silver haired art goddess.  I love stopping by to see her new art and story.

I entered her December giveaway and won. Yea! I’ve been so out of the cyber world, that I failed to realize she included links to my shop and blog  in the Congratulations post. Thank you Susan.

I recently received the tote bag and love it. I think I will use it for my trips to the grocery store.  Susan has a wonderful shop on Etsy filled with nature and feline art.

I thought I would share these photos of Ozzbourne and Breeze enjoying the same treat on Christmas day.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Watching Tail

Posted by admin on January 8th, 2010

I have been MIA from the cyber world, but have been gladly back to work since Dec. 21st.  I’m so physically tired that I only find the energy for my animals and some light house work.

The Tail:

Discoverey watchingToday, a day off for me…Breeze suddenly jumped from my side onto her bird watching post. I decided to check it out and was surprised to see her watching a yard invader.  It was a big cat that is a pest.


Discovered watching 1I have seen this cat before and think it uses our yard as a litter pan. Unless Ozzy occasionally produces miniature land mines.  My nick name for dog poo-land mines. Would you want to step on one?


Discovered watching 2I praised Breeze afterward, she gave him a good long stare down.


Discovered watching 3Have a wonderful weekend and Happy New Year! I will try to stop by other blogs this weekend.

The Happy Act Tail

Posted by admin on December 19th, 2009

It has been in the news for a few months, but I’m all for it and we need  to spread the word more.

Proposed Tax Break for Pet Owners: Will it Pass?

The following video will explain it all.

I adopt my animals from shelters and I care for them day and night for there whole lives. I’m good to my animals and spoil them whenever I can. A tax right off for caring for my pets financially would be nice. Then I would have more money to spend on them….hopefully.

Who could say no to these furry ones? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .

No Box To Big Tail

Posted by admin on December 16th, 2009

Blog card Sharing: Breeze and Harley received a lovely card from the The Kool~Kittie~Krew . I thought it was really nice of them. Thank you Skeeter, King, Pandora, Cricket, Shannon and Family.

Update: I wrote a post awhile back called  Sharks and Fossils Tail

In it I told you about A auction for the fossils of “Samson”, Tyramosaurus rex.

I just heard that the auction fell through and that The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is showing it for now.

Current: The other day, we received a new shower door replacement and  the box had to make a stop at the front door to be inspected from our exert, Harley. No box is to big for Harley and of course no box is to small either.
