pets: What Do Old Men and Cats have In Common? - 08/24/09 11:25 PM
Hairy Ears and lots of whiskers of corse! Duh.
Mack the cat has always had hairy ears and when we play I like to tickle them which aggravates him just a little. Scottish Fold cats like Mack have very tiny ears, a breed trait...so I suppose the hair seems to stand … (19 comments)

pets: Meooowmerry Christmas From Mack the Cat - 12/22/08 09:42 PM
Of all the cats we have ever owned I have to say that Mack, our Scottish Fold cat has got to be the most laid back of all. Mack is so accommodating that he actually puts up with his two ridiculous owners that do crazy silly things to him.... like put … (21 comments)

pets: Dump Kitties - 09/01/08 09:11 AM
No we didn't find these kitties at the city dump. They were dumped on us my a non-caring heartless individual who assumes that he or she can just randomly drop off an animal at the driveway of a rural home. If they must do it why do they choose a rural home? … (27 comments)

As I was pondering what to write about on cooling off and beating the heat in Texas...it dawned on me that wildlife and pets really have it tough! We have had some days at 105 degrees already this summer and with high humidity. Not many animals have the luxury of being able … (47 comments)

Know to run away from dogs.
Deal with Mice and other vermin.
Climb Trees.
My personal cat...Mac came from a shelter. After getting … (18 comments)

pets: Do Labs Like Water? Duh! - 06/16/08 04:02 PM
Most every evening we like to take our Lab, Honey, for a swim at our little farm pond along with our two Corgi's. Usually after 30 minutes or so of playing heavy duty fetch everybody is worn out and ready to go home.
Sometimes if we get home late, and we … (8 comments)

pets: The Most Forgiving Mammal Alive. - 04/28/08 10:44 PM
Even though I would never do it, someone once told me that a Labrador Retreiver is so forgiving, that if you popped one in the head with a 2x4, it wouldn't think twice about still loving you to death.. ...Simply put .....Labs could possibly be the most forgiving mammal on the planet. They just … (7 comments)

We live in the country. Therefore our 4 cats (sometimes more) are "Kuntry Kats" and as such, we expect them to earn their keep around our little ranch which is appropriately named KAT Ranch meaning the Khris And Trey Ranch after my wife and yours truly.

pets: Playing Fetch With Labs - 01/13/08 10:36 AM
If you own a Lab, then you already know that playing fetch is just as important to a Lab as eating, sleeping or running. If you don't play fetch.... then your dog most likely is suffering some kind of deprivation syndrome.
I have all kinds if things that propel the item … (9 comments)
