Adopt A Cat Month
Adopt a Cat Month June is Adopt a Cat Month At a time when people are feeling isolated, and yes, lonely, adopting a cat can fill the need for companionship. While many of us are spending more time at home, and working from home, we are more likely to have the required time to devote to a newly adopted cat or kitten. However, as tempting as a new companion is, and the benefits of adopting a cat are, we must consider if will we be able...
Managing Your Dog’s Separation Anxiety
Managing Your Dog’s Separation Anxiety Has this time of physically distancing and the need to work from home caused dogs to become more dependant on us, and has it caused an increase in cases of separation anxiety? Since March, our dogs have had us all to themselves. We’ve been home with them each and every minute of every single day. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch watching Netflix, or being the centre of...

Social Distancing and Veterinarian Visits
Social Distancing and Veterinarian Visits It’s A Whole New World Out There for Pets and Vets The world is changing at such a rapid pace these days. The unknown. The concern. The worry.

Edie and Edna’s Social Distancing Diary Update for April 6, 2020 Or, more like, “What we’ve been up to to keep our pugselves busy and out of (most) trouble.” We can finally see land! If you can believe it, there was snow right up until a few days ago. And yes, there is still the odd patch of snow hanging on, kinda like a pug holding on to a cookie – they will never let go! 😉 This marks our first Spring in the country for us...
A Pug’s (and cat’s) Social Distancing Diary
A Pug (and cat’s) Social Distancing Diary April 2, 2020 I don’t even know where to start or what to say with everything that is going on in the world right now. I don’t think many of us do. We all have different ways of dealing with our feelings, the ups and downs of being socially isolated from family and friends, the fear of the unknown, concern for our health, and the importantance of taking precautions when it’s only...

Moving Long Distance With Pugs and a Cat
Moving Long Distance With Pugs (and a Cat) Moving homes, as exciting as it can be, can also be a very stressful and overwhelming time. Add to that moving with pets, well, that just creates a whole other level of stress, the unknowns, the what if’s, and the how too. This is not my first time moving, nor my first time moving with “a” dog. This is however, my first time moving with two dogs, a cat, and to top it off, a long distance move...

Why Senior Cats Meow at Night
Why Senior Cats Meow at Night Why, as soon as I turn off the lights, get settled into bed, does my cat starts howling and meowing? This is not something my cat had ever done before. This change in my senior cat’s behaviour seems to have started out of nowhere, and since its begun, it hasn’t stopped. I lay in bed going over a check list in my head – yes, I fed the cat; yes, the litter box has been cleaned; yes, the...
Do Pets Grieve The Passing of Another Pet?
Do Pets Grieve The Passing of Another Pet? Do pets grieve the passing of another pet? If so, what are the symptoms and what would a grieving pet look like? Would a grieving pet display changes in sleep patterns or food intake? Will a pet become vocal – a cat meowing more, or a dog barking and whining?

This Week with Edie & Edna the Pugs
This Week With Edie and Edna the Pugs July has come and gone and Edna and I can’t say we are sorry to see it go. As much as we love spending time outdoors, going for walks, lounging on our garden chairs, chasing the squirrels, we did NOT like the extreme heat and humidity! On days it was too humid for us to play outside, our Humom did lots of mumbling under her breath about “can’t wait till Autumn returns”, no idea what her talking...

Tips for Choosing A Dog Daycare Facility
Tips for Choosing A Dog Daycare Facility Honestly, I’ve not used a dog daycare before. The closest I came to it was when my dog was a puppy and I took her to a small dog/puppy playtime at a dog daycare facility. The half hour of what I was lead to believe to be a friendly and safe environment for my puppy to burn off energy and socialize did not turn out how I imagined. Within 5 minutes of being there I walked out never to return...
