We have boxes and cat tunnels all over the place. The poor dogs occasionally get stalked from an undercover cat.

Ever spot cats in boxes and wonder, “why do cats like boxes so much?” A simple box can be so much more to our felines and offer enrichment. Here is why cats love boxes.

We have a couple of spots left in tomorrow evening’s Level 1 (basic life skills) class. If you have a dog over 6 mos. that needs help with manners, or a new-to-you dog, this is your class. See the link and info in the comments.

With all of the troubles we all carry these days I thought this was lovely.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation.. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. ‘Oh, that's my trouble tree,' he replied 'I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children.. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again.' 'Funny thing is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before. THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all need a Tree!

(I didn't create this story, but loved it when I read it and wanted to share)

Nothing to do with pets, but the occasional day....

A picture says a thousand words sometimes.

Please walk your dogs early or late in the day. Get them out on grass at all other times. One of the hazards of summer!

You’ve gotta wonder.....

Our understanding of our dogs (and cats!) has increased exponentially.

So much has changed....

Dog ownership has changed a lot over the years from healthcare to behavior. There once was a time when we let dogs wander freely through the neighborhood!
