My Dog Turned Green

48 hours ago by Megan Casto @ homezookeeper.com
Okay, so this isn't so much about animals. But this word press thing is totally new to me. I know folks love it but it seems so foreign to me. Blogger was fairly simple for me to figure out - but I admit to needing help when I started there too.I...
To Declaw or Not to Declaw? That is the Question!
05/13/2008 by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
When it comes to cat care, no other issue has brought more debate. My first two cats were adopted, and had already been declawed, so I didn't have much say on the situation. When I got my newest cat two years ago, I researched the topic of whether...

05/11/2008 by Susan Mead @ myfriendlypets.com
It is one of those Hallmark holidays, but a very special day where moms, grandmothers, and anyone who closely resembles a mom, is honored for their love and devotion to their children. Because it is such a special day, I thought I would dedicate to...

05/07/2008 by Alison Faria @ weheartcats.com
Yesterday, a funny thing happened while I was outside gardening. Out of a gap in the back corner fence of the yard, a young black cat came galloping over. He had a flea collar on, so I knew that he must have belonged to one of the neighbors. As I...
