Marlo Playing with his new Tire/String Toy suggested by his VE...
To help get Marlo more active, his Veterinarian - the AWESOME MEGA CARING • CONSCIOUS & DETAILED Dr. ANNA HERNDON suggested his "Mom" get him a tire on a rope & this video show's him going CRAZY for it!!!! He SOOOO LOVES IT!!!! After 15 minutes he was down for the count & is STILL panting like crazy & drinking LOTS of water 30 minutes later!!! I think we've found a way to trim him down more & not tear up plants, concrete, the house - anything he can get his mouth & inactive body on!)
FYI - Marlo is such a BIG (140 pounds•63 kilos) love bug with a head bigger than a humans that looks MEGA intimidating when you first meet him - especially because he has a bad ass growl - but he LOVE HUMANS - just HATES other dogs other than his "brother" - the 7 kilo Odie. So needless to say, he can't go out onto the streets for a walk & he's just not real active (unless there's a rope around! Then he LOVES to play "Keep Away"•Tag!).
Do you have a Fur Baby•Dog that could use more exercise but you don't have time or they're not real excited to play?? This is a GREAT IDEA from an AWESOME VET!!!

Cat Walking!!
This precious pooch (Nina) was a big old broad that hardly ever went out outside let alone for walks so even though it wasn't required of me when I was Pet Sitting her for 3 weeks, I started taking her out (usually 3-5 times a day). The house kitty (more black in her - Blu) hardly would come to anyone but her mommy. But once I got my "magical hands" on her with massages - she was my buddy! The other kitty (more grey - Catness) was a street cat that they fed but NO ONE had been able to hold or love on her as she was afraid of people.
So I'd take Nina out for a stroll as much as she'd let me & next thing you know, suddenly on our night walks, Blu started joining us & then Catness did - for the WHOLE walk!! It was SOOO FUNNY & sweet!!!
FYI - I FINALLY was able to catch Catness the last night & held her & massaged her for over 20 minutes & the next day - nearly an hour!!! Here are a few photos of her obvious trusting me starting at http://SarongGoddess.com/Pets/NinaBluCatness-Herradura/i-CSf36Bb
