It's a sad day.

I knew the day would come, but it's never easy when it does. I had to say goodbye today to my boy Max. He has been going slowly downhill for the past 4 or 5 months, and today when I got home I found him in the backyard with his hind legs sprawled out from underneath him. He was so weak he couldn't get up on his own. So about 5:10 pm I took him to the local VCA Vet office and had him put to sleep. It was the second hardest thing I've ever had to do. To sign the…

My new lion fish, and a new found toad

The place I'm looking to get a job at has had a beautiful Black Volitan Lion Fish for over two months. I wanted it since I saw it about 2 weeks ago. I got $80 total for my 20th birthday and I decided to go get that fish! Mum and I have had a Lion Fish before... same kind, and he was HUGE. This one is a baby, and very hungry... I added some pictures of it while it's still small because they grow very fast. Snuggles and Stripe have taken well to the new addition, and to Snuggles, it should be a… Continue

Pepper: A New Happy Dog

THE OLD PEPPER:

Pepper came to us at 8 weeks old when granny came for a visit. He bonded with me and we played a lot until I went to a math and science boarding high school. I had to be gone all week each week, so he turned to mum. He had all the love he could ever want, but mum always babied him and got him excited. He was obedient in the house too... sit, stay, come, stand, etc. What was missing? Socialization with other dogs, people and kids. Walks with Pepper were just terrible.… Continue

Pet Peeve: Over-breeding

Eight Belles was put down after racing with colts in the most recent Kentucky Derby. The news reported that race horses are being put down more and more due to the increasing number of injuries. According to CNN, these injuries could be due to over-breeding which is causing less soundness in the horse.

Puppy mills are notorious! Look at the country's most popular dog breeds... They all have major inheritable genetic health problems because after you breed a bitch so many times, she… Continue

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Yesterday was my 9th Birthday! It didn't start out a very good day. Mommy was trying to do some work outside, and she found like a billion ants by the garage! Luckily, the garage is far away from the house. But she needed to kill them. So she had to use some buggy spray. So she wouldn't let me come outside and chase my bunnies. I was so mad. Grandma came home last week (that makes me a very happy puppy!) and she was outside too. I was barking and barking and barking, and they just ignored…
