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? Would the loss of a pet cause a dog or cat to withdraw, become quieter, or begin to seek out additional comfort and constant...

This Week With Edie & Edna the Pugs
This week with Edie and Edna Early Morning Walkies International Cat Day Nana’s 93rd Birthday Celebrations It was still full-on summer heat mode this past week, so that meant early morning walkies to beat the heat, stretch our pug legs, get some pugercise and catch up on our very impawtant local peemail. Unfortunately, there was no new peemail news to share. We guess our local pals are away on summer holidays. But once they return,...
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...
Happy 17th Birthday Lily Cat!

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...

How Does an Ill Pet Impact The Pet Parent?
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here on my blog. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to write. I’ve sat down at my computer several times, started typing, deleted what I’ve typed, edited what I’ve written, not sure what to say, but more so, how to say it. At the time I didn’t know how this “story” was going to end. So how could I begin to write if I didn’t have an ending? Pets Have Positive Physical and Emotional Effects on...
How Much Does Puppy’s First Year Cost?
How Much Does Puppy’s First Year Cost? What is the financial cost of being a pet parent? Let’s be honest, pets are not inexpensive. The financial commitment in a puppy’s first year, with veterinarian visits, spaying/neutering and vaccines alone, adds up. And that’s not taking into consideration any illnesses or accidents your puppy may have along the way. But the expenses don’t stop here. There’s the additional cost...

Puppy’s First Year – Month 10
Puppy’s First Year – Month 10 Documenting my puppy Edna’s first year of life. How is my puppy 10 months old already, that’s just crazy! Does that mean in 2 months when Edna turns one I can no longer call her “my puppy”? That makes me a little sad – I think Edna will always will be referred to as my “puppy” since she is the “baby” of our pet family. How Has My Puppy Changed Since My Last...

Pets, Autumn and Allergies Tis the season – itching, scratching, licking of paws. Yup, it’s autumn allergy season for our pets!
