Buying a cat tree as unique as your cat can be very expensive these days. With people pinching their pennies still, you can make your pennies stretch by making your own cat tree. And if you are particularly handy with cutting boards and constructing things, this can also be a fun weekend project.
I found these instructions after looking throu...Read More
Hello all my fellow dog lovers;
I am going to share with all of you a experience that, I have had being the owner of a Rat Terrier. Even though, I never checked around before, I decided to bring another Rat Terrier into my home, I just thought that, for the most part dogs will eventually, bond and run together. This was truly ...Read More
Dog and cat owners know how much love and affection pets have and show them. There’s no shortage of stories about amazing pets or pets with special abilities. Here is a list of some of the most heartwarming and inspirational books with a brief description to help you pick out the books you should put on your list.
“Every...Read More
A feral cat is an undomesticated cat born in the wild. They may be lost or abandoned pets who adjusted to the wild. These tend to be more difficult to socialize and some may never adapt to pet-life and living with people. A feral cat is not the same as a stray cat. Feral cats are born from lost or abandoned domestic cats or other feral cats th...Read More
You love your boyfriend or girlfriend, and you also love your pet. But what happens when they don't love each other? You hate to give up either one of them, but their unease around each other definitely causes extra stress in your life. You can help them get used to each other, but remember not to get frustrated because it migh...Read More
We got Reeg-r back in 1999, when he was just a puppy. As you can see from his pictures, he was an adorable puppy. He looked like a little butterball.
On our first Christmas with him, he was running around the yard and playing with anything that he would find. We had bought him a bunch of toys, but it seemed that he would end up play...Read More
I was hanging out with my two older sisters when one of them snottily ask me "Does Alpha look away when you look at him?" Ofcourse he does but wait I just remember two hours ago he stared at me for a good 30 minutes after I sprayed him with the flea spray. He sat in one corner and moved to another spot and stared at me with anger. I didn't think...Read More
When I was a child, my grandparents owned a menagerie of animals. (Raising six kids who all loved animals and brought home anything without a home, you can see how they acquired so many. Even with their kids grown and out of the house, the menagerie, though losing and gaining members over the years, persisted.) Anyway, ...Read More
In just a few weeks I'll be the proud mama of an 8 week old Boxer. I'm trying to get my house "Puppy-proof". I need to get all her stuff; crate, bed, collar, leash, bowls, food, toys and doggy gate. My daughter didn't think it was fair to give her hand-me-downs from my other dog. Besides, she's a girl and deserves new things. I also need to fix ...Read More
Just ask my kids, “Who’s the most spoiled out of all of them?” They’ll answer, “The dog”.
As a child, I was bitten by my Aunt’s pekingese. I was terrified of all dogs, especially little ones. I just knew they were all out to get me. I was about 4 years old at the time. At 5 years of age,...Read More
A few days ago, my landlady, her granddaughter in tow, stopped by my house to talk to my husband and me about a few things. We put our dogs in the backyard out of courtesy to our guests, but toward the end of our meeting, she asked if she could leave out the back door, which gave her easier access to her car than going out the front. “Sure...Read More
If my dog Boss could talk, I’m pretty sure he would tell me that this is the dog park etiquette:
1. We will all sniff each other. The humans will all think it’s inappropriate how much we sniff each other, but we’ll still do it anyway.
2. If your human brought treats and ...Read More
This is Ariel. Don't let that shining smile fool you, she's not all that innocent.
I never meant to adopt her. My cat, Panther, who I'd had for 11 years had recently died, and my boyfriend at the time took it a little too hard. The next day he went to every animal shelter in town and picked out about ...Read More
I have always enjoyed amateur photography, though for the most part, my photos have come out looking fairly, well, amateur. My usual subjects aren't the people around me, but rather the cats in some activity or another, or sleeping in some twisted-around position.
In the past year, I have pretty much abandoned my usual digital camera for ...Read More
My step-dad Wayne got a big surprise a few days before his birthday: a dachshund puppy. Like I mentioned in a previous post, we tragically lost Peanut, the dachshund that my brothers and I grew up with.
Wayne had no idea that he was going to get a puppy. My brother John and his fiancée Kaylee had picked out a puppy which was...Read More
Love is in the air everywhere you turn around, most definitely and not just between a man and a woman as we read about this great couple; but their love for animals. What a wonderful event, a paw-cular wedding ceremony and in the presence of animals. This couple, Mary Lyn and James Marino decided to re-marry not at a church or pa...Read More
Anyone who has ever read any of my blogs has already figured out that I have three dogs. If you have a dog, you know that given the chance that they will try to chase any vehicle in sight.
You try to call them back, but they just ignore you. They are just having too much fun. If you have more than one dog like I do, you know that if one starts ...Read More
Can cats and dogs get along in the home especailly when the cat has been living without any dogs for awhile? Of course they can. You just have to make sure you take the proper steps to introduce them the right way and hopefully they will soon become best friends. Please be patient....it does take time!
If you are in the process of searchin...Read More

A friend of mine has asked me to feed her cats for her while she is away for a couple of weeks. I am of course happy to do it. Her cats are super friendly and it's not a terribly difficult job to go over there every couple of days to check on them and give them food and water.
I am looking forward to feeding the kitties - I'll probably ...Read More
On Sunday, we took all three dogs to the park. We had a great time reading books and sniffing butts.
When we got home, Micah, our foster dog, decided to take a flying leap out of the back seat. (Apparently, our hand-delivered service to the garage floor wasn't fast enough for him.) He did not land well.
Then? He H...Read More
For those of us with a hot tub and dogs, there is always the temptation to let the pooch into the tub to enjoy some cool (hot) family time. The dog is a part of the family and you know how hard it is to sit in the hot tub and watch those sad eyes wanting to join in.
Letting your dog in to the hot tub though can cause health proble...Read More
Do you let your dog or doggies into the bed with you at night? When I had big dogs they always slept at the foot of the bed as there just didn't seem to ever be enough room to let them sleep in the bed with us. Even the kids ended up complaining that they couldn't move with the big dog in their bed - usually because the dog would lay...Read More
I just wanted to share with everyone that my 22 month old son said a new word the other day - he said "kitty!"
We were at a friend's house and she has a beautiful black and white adult female cat named Patty. Patty is super friendly and adored when my son (a lover of animals already) would pat her. He of course was excited to play with ...Read More
We thought we had done everything to prepare our dog , Cosmo, for the arrival of our baby girl. Never did I think I would be dealing with an overprotective dog.. We should have known this may be a problem when he started exhibiting this behavior while I was pregnant. Always laying by my feet, following me around the house, etc. Well, now that my...Read More
The cats in our house are spoiled, and have the run of the place, no question about it. In fact, if they liked people food more, they would be even more spoiled than they already are, but it's only Charlie that likes food that isn't of the dry or canned variety, and even then he limits himself to just a few bites of whatever fish, chicken,...Read More
So I have been following the story of the Connecticut chimpanzee attack since it happened a few months ago. I still find it shocking that an animal that is generally thought to be a peaceful, intelligent primate is capable of inflicting such damage to those around him.
This was, once again, a tragedy that could have been avoided, and this...Read More
This weekend, we dog sat for two dogs. That brought the number of furry animals in the house to seven, not counting my husband. We love Sophie and Max (our houseguests), but five dogs and two cats are a lot of little beings depending on you to pick up their poop, feed them, and give them constant love. (And yes, I recognize that seven furry l...Read More
Right now, we have seven animals and two adults in our house. Yes. SEVEN ANIMALS. We have our normal Brady Bunch family of four, plus our foster dog, Micah, and two dogs that we're petsitting named Sophie and Max. The arrival of the extra dogs changes the entire dynamic of the house. Sophie and Max are bulls in a china shop (luckily, our pa...Read More
My husband and I have a sort of "Brady Bunch" pet family. Before we met, I (the lovely lady) had two cats, and he (the fellow) had two dogs. After we knew that it was much more a hunch, we moved in together, and got married.
Now, I won't go into the joy that was introducing them to each other - I'll save that for another blog post. What'...Read More
Balance eludes me. Throughout my existence, I have struggled – and often failed – to find a balance between the forces in my life that have been vying for my attention. Personal interests, academic obligations, family concerns, romantic entanglements – and, of course, my relationship with my pets – all seem ...Read More
I visited my dad this weekend at his home in Rockland, MA. He and his wife have a 7 year old Chocolate Lab named Clarice. She is really one of the sweetest animals I have ever encountered. She absolutely adores my son Cameron (who is a wee toddler of 22 months) and her only issue is that she is giant next to him, so she usually ends up knocking ...Read More
Weekends are special times. Hopefully it is when we all get to relax and spend time with the family. The humans and the pets. On of my fondest memories from when I was little is that of building a dog house with my grandfather. Where my family comes from, dogs just don't come inside. I went out to visit one summer and my grandfather told me that...Read More
Do you feel that having one pet is fair to your pet when it is left home alone while you work or are away for extended periods? I have always felt that having a buddy around to keep each other company leads to a happier pet.
Just imagine if you had to stay home for 6 to 10 hours a day all by yourself without the tv, radio, c...Read More
So sweet little Tipsy the rabbit is determined to put a rift between my wife and I. I have resorting to bribes in an effort to get her to sit with me on the couch. They work, but only short term. Until my wife leaves the house that is. As soon as the door shuts, Tipsy is will jump on the couch and be darn near cuddly. However, as soon as my wife...Read More
Hello everyone! I am so glad to have found Yeepet, what a fantastic site! I thought I would take a moment and introduce myself and the menagerie.
I am the proud mommy of two labradors, two wonderful indoor kitties, three birds and a small 16 gallon aquarium of fresh water fish. My twin sister and I live in Southern Oregon with o...Read More
I had an interesting weekend. I woke up early Sunday morning with my stomach hurting beyond belief. I could hardly stand it but I waited until around 10am and finally gave in and called 911. That was a first. I looked and sounded so bad that I was whisked away before I knew it. I didn't even have my purse or shoes!
I live alone, people-wise, ...Read More
My mother has a cat named Snickers. I always thought she was a friendly cat: running out to greet you whenever you came into the house, purring and rubbing up against your leg several times a day, and sleeping right on your lap contentedly (and I love when cats do this). However, recently Snickers has proven to not be so friendly - or really ju...Read More
My husband and I were married nearly 3 years ago. At the time we got married he was in the Navy, no pets, no attachments, just a book of CD's and a few random outfits. I brought into the relationship a guinea pig, several rabbits, an Oscar fish, and Levi, my cat. Since we were moving to San Diego, CA and soon after to Japan, I had to find new...Read More
A Portugese Water Dog owner's group, besieged with website hits and phone calls after the Obama family was given their new puppy, Bo, by the Kennedy family, spoke with CNN about the realities of owning and raising one of these dogs.
The advice is about what you would expect; these are big, active dogs that need plenty of excercise, attent...Read More
We have always included our pets in our family photo shots that we send out, usually at the holidays. Our pets are a part of our family, and they get to wear a silly santa hat, or get to pose for endless shots in front of the camera just like the rest of us.
It is always so nice to look back and see how the kids have grown, the do...Read More
When you have pets and kids it just goes hand in hand that the kids will learn to respect and care for your pet by how they see you share your life with your furry friend. A "family pet," should be taken care of, played with, and loved by the whole family. When they have health needs or need boarding, you teach your kids responsibili...Read More
I'll shout it from the rafters - I am a huge supporter of President Obama, and living in his hometown of Chicago only makes me a prouder fan. He does, as everyone knows, have a tough road in front of him and some serious obstacles to overcome, but I have a sense of hope and determination that a majority of the population in this coun...Read More
So, I'm still reeling from the horrific story that arose in the past week or so about the woman in Connecticut whose pet chimpanzee ran amok and seriously injured her friend before finally beng stopped (fatally) by the police.
This is obviously a tragedy that could have been prevented with stricter laws governing people's exotic pets; the woman...Read More
Pets can get stressed out even if we have visitors, but adding new babies can be even more stressful for the pet (not to mention the parent). My husband and I have been talking about having another child, but our first two are both older than any of our pets, so they were here when the pets came home. Now that the pets are well established, I'm ...Read More
My cat is the first cat I've owned. We got him as a kitten about three years ago. He used to fall asleep on my lap while I rubbed his paws (awww!). Until last summer, he NEVER peed on anything he wasn't supposed to. Last summer, my husband's aunt, uncle and two cousins stayed with us and we let them sleep in our bedroom. Apparently that was a fa...Read More
I wrote this a few months ago, and realized that I had never posted it here. It's the true story of my cat going missing over the summer, my struggle to get him back, and the psychological trauma that occurs when the animal that you take care of every single day suddenly isn't there anymore....
My cat, Charlie, came free with a television...Read More
Movies and pop culture have made it seem like opening up a pretty box to find a puppy inside is the most wonderful, heartwarming gift. The truth is, a lot of consideration needs to be given before you decide to give someone a pet for the holidays. If it's a family gift, then the whole family should have the opportunity to agree on it...Read More
In preparation for the holiday season that's quickly approaching (I still cannot believe it's almost Thanksgiving), I wanted to share the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) top 10 holiday health tips.
Let's start with a quote from the President of the AVMA: "People want to involve their pets in the holiday celebrations, but peop...Read More
Three articles I’ve read recently discuss the relationship between pets and children and the potential benefits of such a relationship.
The first was Nancy Hreha’s article from which I took the title of my blog – her entire article can be found at KidsPetTales.com (http://netwebmarketer.com/audie/wordpress/2008/10/12/kids-an...Read More
