Happy first day of Fall. What do you do with your pets for some fall fun?
And of course we have some outtakes.
First day of School
Check out these smarties testing their knowledge to celebrate the first day of school.
Did you know that seedless watermelon is safe for dogs? In moderation and without the rind, watermelon is a great summer snack for the whole family.

The answer to yesterdays What's That Wednesday is....................
a microchip
A microchip is a form of permanent identification. The microchip is a rice grain sized piece of technology that is implanted beneath the skin (usually between the shoulder blades) with a needle. The microchip carries a number, that when scanned can be connected to an owners name, phone number, and any other important information. The microchip on its own doesn't do any good. You must make sure it's registered to you. If you adopted a pet or rehomed it from someone else you can call the compay the microchip is registered to and update the information.
The other important thing to make note of with microchips is that they can migrate to other areas. I've seen them move further down the back or into the shoulder. That's why you see Taylor scanning the whole dog.

An Underwater Treadmill.
The treadmill is a piece of equiptment used by Cassie over at Four Paws Rehabilitation Center . The underwater treadmill allows patients to increase muscle mass in a low weight bearing environment. It's also a great option for weight loss and increasing range of motion.
Jenkins loves his weekly visits with Cassie an here he shows you how low stress the treadmill can be.
As you can see, her mobility has returned and she doesn't hesitate to jump to the top of her cat trees and play. She's living the best life possible without the hindrance of a healing leg.
Orange cat energy
We hope you're enjoying your weekend as much as Maury enjoyed playing in the sink during a recent visit.
Eleanor 1 week post op.
Just look at her move. In her case amputation was the best option due to cost and long term recovery. Recovery from amputation is typically easier than dragging a cast around for several months and eliminates the risk of arthritis in the injured leg.
Bet you didn't know cats like to play in the snow too. Tippy is helping his kid assemble (or disassemble) a snowman.
