Purrfect Cat Treat Review
2008-05-13 05:29:00 Cat treats are a little harder to come by than dog treats. It?s easy to see why ? treats tend to be mostly about training, and most people don?t even think about training their cats! That said, I think cats can and should get some training. Most cats can be taught to come when they?re ... More About: Cats , Review , Treat
Catlivin? Climber
2008-03-13 13:24:00 I’ve always wanted a climby thing to keep my acrobatic cat amused and out of our hair, but as a lifelong renter the options aren’t so good. I can’t exactly be screwing avant-garde home-made climbers into the wall a la apartment living. And the thought of purchasing a standalone cat climber is a little ...

Aloveen Pet Shampoo Review
2008-02-29 07:01:00 Hoo boy do I have mixed feelings about this stuff. The vet handed it to me when Jack had a skin allergy and said: ?You can wash him with this three times a week.?

2008-02-16 04:12:00 The word ?mouthy? is dogpeople talk for ?nips fingers and toes ALL THE BLOODY TIME.? Our wee Jack was EXTREMELY mouthy as a puppy ? to the point where I was leery of having him mix with children. He never bit hard, but like a human infant ? everything went straight into the gob.

Climate Controlled Pet Carrier
2007-12-02 23:25:00 You know, at first I didn’t get this gadget. To me it looked over engineered and amoral to boot.

Summer Cut for A Groodle
2007-11-23 03:53:00 I was hoping I could post you a great story about our success at grooming Jack ourselves.

Driving the Blues Away with Four Legs and a Tail
2007-11-15 13:04:00 Every couple of months, I’d get the blues. Not bad enough for me to slit my wrists, but enough so that I’d hole up in the house for a while and watch bad tv. But since Jacque, Louie, and Benny have arrived, life’s been looking brighter. The cats came first and the blues became a lighter shade. Sure, I might be feeling kinda sad and ...

Tight-arsed Tuesday - Two seconds to a happy cat
2007-11-06 06:44:00 Keeping cats indoors may be a sound moral choice, but it’s challenging when your cat is moping around unhappily, drumming her claws and flicking through the tv channels with heavy distant sighs. One of the (many) ways we keep our Cornish Rex kitten amused is by mixing up her physical environment all the time. She ... More About: Cats , Happy , Tuesday , Dish , Seconds
Tight Arsed Tuesdays - the Worlds’s Best E-Book on Puppy Training
2007-10-30 11:45:00 If you’re planning to get a puppy, and you’re reading this, then you are lucky. Lucky. Lucky. Lucky. Because you can download and read Ian Dunbar’s e-book, “Before you get your puppy.” This is worth printing and reading in your lunch hour. If you can’t sneak it onto your boss’s printer, spend the money on ink! That’s how good it is. Some people have a natural affinity with dogs and can get them to do almost anything. The rest of us have two choices – either blame the dog (“sorry about your flowers/cat/right leg but he got dropped on his head as a pup…”) or find a way to educate ourselves. That’s where Ian comes in. Ian is one of the positive dog training movement’s favourite sons. Here’s what you’ll find in the book: Six Developmental Deadlines 1. Your Doggy Education (before searching) 2. Evaluating Puppy ’s Progress (before selection) 3. Errorless Housetraining (before homecoming) 4. Socialization with People (by 12 weeks of age) 5. ...

Pet Travel Post #1 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles
2007-10-30 01:18:00 Looks like Dave and I have the holiday bug. A little less than 24 hours after returning from our Fan-bloody-fabulous trip to Darwin, we’re organising our next one. And this time we’re taking Benny with us and I’ve begun undertaking a little research in lieu. With Christmas just 8 weeks away (gulp!) I’m going to be posting up a “suite” of pet travel related posts over the next week. Pet Travel Transport Flying with your Furry Pals With Australian distances what they are and plane fares cheap as chips, our family will be hotfooting to our Chrissy destination on the wings of a jet. While some domestic flights (especially the ones with ultra cheap fares) might not cater to pet travel, most will. But it is best if you can plan your trip well in advance and follow the airline regulations. The best airlines will have written rules for pet travel.
