Package From Home Tail

Posted by admin on July 9th, 2009

p2.JPGWe received a package from back home-Oregon. It was from my Husbands mother. All packages from back home get investigated by Harley & Ozzbourne.

Harley can be entertained for quite a while with packages from the mailman. In the package was a nice letter from both parents and a monkey toy.

Giving and receiving of monkeys (in any form) is a game between my Husband and his mother.

I invite you to visit The Mosby Foundation. This foundation is doing wonderful things for animals all over the country who are in need.

How to Bathe a Cat in 8 Easy Steps

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so
that he cannot escape).

CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for
any thing they can find.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power wash and rinse” which I have found to be
quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the
outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.

Sincerely,

THE DOG

I hope you have a great weekend and remember, don’t leave your animals in hot vehicles and be sure to carry water for them in the summer on your adventures together.

Happy 4th Tail

Posted by admin on July 4th, 2009
Happy 4th of July. I managed this week to find some better pictures of Titan and Rufus. I had to scan them into my computer and do some adjusting in photoshop. Have a peak at what great looking dogs they were, on the right almost half way down.
I found a great article about Flying paw friendly skies

I hope all you animals can take a trip in the skies with your humans or go on vacation by yourself. You deserve it.


Here is a funny read I found. Enjoy.


“Things the cat dragged in”

The gift of bugs: My old cat Pierre (sadly missed) used to catch huge moths or thumb-sized beetles and deposit them inside the house. Pierre’s interest would wane so I’d have to catch the injured bug and release it outside. “Fly free!” I’d cry, as it fell on the grass.

The gift of lizards: Sometimes I’d spot the wiggly tail bit first. Once, I discovered slightly too late that a caught lizard is quite likely to hide in an empty shoe. Eww.

2549438The gift of rodents (alive): Another of Pierre’s tricks. He would head out at night to the gathering places of the local rat and mouse fraternity, find one who was lonely or easily led, and bring it back inside through the catflap. For a while he’d play with the rodent, inevitably lose track of it, and then lost interest.

So I’d be left with a mouse or rat to deal with. Not all of them left the house alive, but I’ll say this: I saved more than I dispatched.

The gift of rodents (no longer alive): Whole ones, half ones… I have learnt to step carefully in unlit rooms.

The gift of birds: On one occasion alive – I managed to pick it up while distracting Pierre, and free it out of a window. On other occasions dead in a feathery mess. Pierre would sometimes sit at the door waiting to be let in, his mouth full of struggling bird, and make the strategic error of meowing for attention. The bird would shoot from his mouth like a cruise missile.

(My current cat Merrick is a rare hunter. I’m glad to say I’ve never seen him catch a bird.)

The gift of food: My partner’s old dog Ozone once arrived at home with a whole, heated, supermarket chicken complete with foil bag.

The gift of What the Hell is That?: Imagine, if you will, a bleary-eyed early-morning view down the stairs into an entrance hall. Imagine the heart-stopping moment when the object is seen, lying half in shadow and 10 metres distant. Imagine the tentative, nauseated approach. Imagine the wave of relief when closer inspection reveals it to be…merely a raw pink sausage.
