Was your pet your Valentine this year? If so, you were not alone. A new survey has found that about 1/5 of Americans choose their pet as they Valentine. Some people simply did not have a human mate to celebrate the holiday with and substituted their pets while others prefer spending the day with someone or something that does not talk back or ...Read More
Patriotic pet lovers can proudly call the Maine Coon a Native American breed. Maine Coons have an interesting back story, rife with inane speculation and possible connections to major events of world history.
Some have hypothesized that Maine Coons resulted from breeding a cat with a raccoon, but this is a genetic impossibility. Others ...Read More
Resolution #1: I will eat less and exercise more.
Too many nights on the couch, too many dog biscuits and too little time running around the local dog park has made me a little, well, fluffier.
I don't think the old "I'm-just-big-boned" excuse will work anymore. I resolve to bug my owner to take me out to the doggy park several times a w...Read More
When I was a kid, there was no finer dog in the world than Lassie.
In our house, Sunday nights were reserved for "Lassie" and "The Ed Sullivan Show" on CBS. Watching that beautiful Collie perform her amazing feats of heroism and bravery put smiles on the faces of me, my brother and sister. Maybe that's where our love of dogs came from.

Until recently, I lived in the upper Midwest, where winters last half the year and “brutal” is one of the milder adjectives that can be used to describe them. Even on the coldest days, however, my dog Dexy clamored to go outside. She’s a high-energy breed and was undeterred by subzero windchills.
So out we would go, trudging...Read More
Maybe you've seen (on TV) or heard (on the radio) the new ads for The Shelter Pet Project. These provocative ads feature talking animals who, not surprisingly, seem to be smarter than their human owners.
The point of the ads, though, is to make it clear that animals adopted from shelters are not "bad" or "damaged" -- th...Read More
Hi Yeepet!
My name is Sarah (which you might have guessed already) and have two teenage kittens named Fred and George. I have lived with pets all my life, and my two boys will give me plenty to write about! I think I'll start off this blog with the story of how F&G came into my life.
My sister Lizzy and I ...Read More
In my last post, I wrote about disagreeing with one of my friend’s decisions regarding his pet. At the risk of coming across as shrill, this post features another friend with whom I disagree.
She’s a cat owner and unquestionably devoted to her feline. In fact, she may be so attached to her furry companion that she ends up doing hi...Read More
A friend of mine recently became a dog owner. He is attentive and caring toward his new companion. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a guy who is more devoted to a canine. So when I asked my friend when he planned to neuter his puppy, I was surprised at the answer.
“I can’t do that to him,” my friend said. “I ...Read More
About six months ago, I was downsized. My former employer was on the verge of going under, so they let about a half dozen of us go.
Naturally, I was less than pleased to be a ground-level witness to the recession’s intensity. But even though getting laid off is no one’s idea of a good time, it is not without its benefits.
I had...Read More
My father-in-law is a smart guy. He’s a little on the stoic side, however, and I’ve often wondered if he’s on a strict quota of say, speaking ninety-nine words per year. As such, his wisdom usually comes out in short bursts and to-the-point phrases.
Recently, I was walking with him on the farm where my wife grew up. He and I...Read More
Every day I get asked, “Will we know when it is time?” Everybody wants their beloved pets with them just as long as they can. Dealing with death is tough for a culture that keeps it at arm’s length and shields us from the reality of it. Our loved ones often spend their final days in a ...Read More
Recently, I wrote about the novelist Rita Mae Brown, who opened herself up to criticism when she published an essay that more or less said animals were superior to humans. I thought Brown was glamorizing how perfect animals are. The more I thought about it, however, I see that she fell into an even more dangerous trap.
Although it’s fin...Read More
I am not sure if everyone has this problem, but I felt I had to share it. My dogs think they run the show. I will just be laying down for bed. Start to doze off and ....bark, bark, scratch, scratch. They decide they want to wait til we go to bed to start telling us they want in to the main part of the house. Which by the way, ...Read More
Recently, the novelist Rita Mae Brown published an essay in which she extolled the virtues of animals. To do so, she made a point of listing all the ways in which human values suck, at least in comparison to the code of the animal world.
Among her observations were the facts that “No cat snores as loudly as a human,” “No ani...Read More
Every year, many people take their children to see Santa Claus. To get their pictures taken sitting next to ol' man Christmas, or to tell Santa, what they want to see under their tree on xmas morning. What about your pets though? Would it be an odd thing to take your pet to see Santa? Many may say yes, it does seem a bit...Read More
Taking care of a sick cat is no fun, especially when you have no idea how to help.
When I had moved from one small city to the large city of Seoul (two and a half hours away) last year, I thought for sure my cat, Lobby- ya, could handle it. I had put her in a cat hotel while I had everything...Read More
Perhaps you've stumbled across an animal in the past — dare I say one even labeled as "exotic" — and you've thought you'd like one as a pet. I get this all the time from eager-to-please parents at their kids' birthday parties. A child (or even the parent) falls in love with an animal and suddenly declares that they just HAVE to have ...Read More
Dog, the Philosopher
If you had asked me 10 years ago what the most important things in life are, I would’ve answered without hesitation – money and success. In my mind, the two things were inexplicably intertwined. . . I’m not sure how far down the list happiness was, or if it was even on the list. ...Read More
Soon after I adopted Lobby, I noticed some interesting personality characteristics. She was fun to play with, loved head rubs, liked to scratch my chair and other mischief. Lobby was also a little difficult to figure out sometimes, but definitely kept me entertained.
To help her with her transition, I had pet her fre...Read More
In the beginning of 2007, I had accepted a professor job in a small town in Korea. Jobs were already hard to come by in my town in Washington state, so I thought that some experience abroad would be great on my resume.
As you can easily imagine, being so far away from the comforts of home and al...Read More
When I was 18 years old, I moved out of my parents house and into an apartment with my now husband. Unfortunately, we moved into an apartment that did not allow pets. This was very saddening to me because I had always wanted to bring my favorite cat with me when I moved out.
My parent’s house was always busy. I am the oldest of fo...Read More
A new love begins...
My love for dogs began years ago with Willy. He was a stray pitbull my boyfriend at the time had found and taken in. He was a big tumbling ball of goofy fun. I had never had a dog but instantly became a believer. When my boyfriend and I broke up I was devastated to no longer have Willy in my life...Read More
Weddings are expensive. I get that. When I got married this past April, I accepted the fact that we would be spending money on things that mattered: a photographer, a cake, dress, (need I say FOOD!). Then, the time came to decide on wedding favors. I looked in all of the little favor books a...Read More
Cats, especially black cats, have long been associated with witchcraft and sorcerer, so naturally we think of them at Halloween. Black Cat cookies, stuffed animals, porcelain figures, door signs, and lights abound during the month of October. But why? Why are Black Cats linked to witches and evil?
With fur the color of night and piercing ...Read More
My dog is a Boxer. Like most Boxers, she’s high-spirited and extroverted. So to burn off her ridiculous amounts of energy, we hit the dog park at least once a week. Over the five years that we’ve been going to this field of canine conviviality, I’ve observed a gradual cultural change.
Perhaps I only notice this because I&rs...Read More
My wife and I don’t have children.
Like many couples in our situation, it crossed our minds that getting a puppy would prepare us for the stress of babies, if any ever appeared (magically or otherwise).
However, after a few years with our dog, it seems wrong that I ever considered her a mere steppingstone to parenthood. She is her o...Read More
I was friended by a dog expert on Twitter. When I went to her website, I found an ad for a company called Soft-Hearted Products. They sell customized pillows for your dog's ashes. Their saying is "Softening the loss...with a soft, huggable pet urn alternative." The pillows are stuffed and a bag filled with your dog's ashes are also put into the ...Read More
He has, despite our best efforts, set his tail on fire.
On another occasion, I came home to find the stereo on the floor, a trail of wires showing where it had been pulled off the table. The cat sat next to the damaged speaker, calmly licking himself and glancing at me as if to say, “You can’t prove a thing.”
We’ve...Read More
I believe animals are here to be our examples of unconditional love. If we approach the animals around us as if we were coming from their place of being, they will be much more receptive to us. It is very important to meet them as they are, not as if they were a human, expecting them to feel human-like. They are not human-like.
Barbara Ma...Read More
I just joined Yeepet.com! I am so happy there is a website for my puppy and me. Children are not for everyone. My husband and I decided that a long time ago. I am not saying my dog takes the place of having a child, but to me, she is much better.
My "puppy" is a 90lbs. Rottweiler named Lizzie D. Puppy. She was born on Feb 5, 2008 and I picke...Read More
Some of the basic things that animals tell me seem obvious, while other things they say clear up misunderstandings that we humans have. For example, animals DO have a sense of time and yes, animals DO see color and can refer to it.
A big one from horses and dogs: "I NEED more daily exercise" outside of their backyards and stalls.
I am of...Read More
If you have ever considered getting a smaller sized bunny as a housepet. I would have to say that with my own experience of owning one, a mini rex is the best breed. I would have to say they are the best indoor bunny you could get. These little guys are so smart and intellegent. They are best known for their extremely sof...Read More
When you are about to adopt a dog to love and care for. Which do you choose? A purebred dog, or a mixed breed (mutt)? They both have pros and cons, but how do you know which one is right for you and your household?
Well, to start off...purebreds are typically bred to act and look a particular way. Kno...Read More
An animal communication session can open you to more understanding of your pet’s needs, behaviors, and desires. You and your pet can benefit from knowing what your pet likes and dislikes, what causes your pet distress and, if ill, where your pet feels pain.
You can schedule a session with me at www.animalcommunicationplus.com. I ask that...Read More
This is a terrible little story, but it clearly illustrates (yet again) why people should not be keeping wild animals as pets - it often ends poorly. To summarize, a woman who had kept a black bear in a cage in her backyard for years was tragically killed by said bear over the weekend. She hadn't antagonized it, it wasn't sick, it's ...Read More
There is perhaps nothing more difficult than the severe illness or physical death of a loved one (human or animal) to bring on a crisis of faith or an inner questioning of our spiritual belief systems. We may ask ourselves for the first time or perhaps the 100th time; “What do I really believe happens when we die? What happens to animals? I...Read More
Hi ya folks!
Well, she started yesterday getting me used to my new paw -nail treatments, yes it's Pedipaws! I admit that I am kind of timid naturally and so when she turned it on just to see my response, well I did not like it. Oh, she did not scare me with it but she first told me to jump on the bed and then took the thing out ...Read More
Greetings Folks!
She let me out early this morning and lo and behold guess who greeted me near the fence, Coco! It's a good thing that she could not squeeze and get in my yard, otherwise I would have put the squeeze on her because I was not in the mood. Listen, I did not have my breakfast yet so I was a little edgy although we did e...Read More
Our five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) are wonderful tools. They’re such a huge part of who we are, what we are able be and do. Anyone with one of the five senses missing or impaired is considered disadvantaged. We all have a six sense that has been ignored. Intuition, the sixth tool.
“The word ‘intuition’ comes fro...Read More
Hello there folks!
Most people think as they watch their doggies scratch they are thinking fleas or allergies, but I'm not referring to my scratching to fleas or allergies. You see, I love to have someone scratch my behind, oh yeah! It feels real good and although on some occasions I do itch back there because of mosquito bites, but...Read More
I am so excited, because of the work that I have done and also being there in the clutch rescuing those cats and dogs; you remember don't you? The night rescue mission and city hall secret mission, you do remember right? Well, I have been appointed “Ambassador to Animals” by the state of California. Th...Read More
O vey!
Whether kittens or puppies, they sure are a handful running here and there, always getting into all sorts of mischief. I am always on the run rescuing homeless animals and I come home to madness! Oh crap! What's a mom to do? Well it's part of motherhood, oops I mean cat-hood; I love being a m...Read More
Mmm-Woof!
I bet that you guys are wondering if my kittens are left to fend for themselves while I am on the go on my mission, well not really. Besides Lawrence, there's Queenie, Mickey and Maggie and I would say that the three are an unlikely trio, but in fact they actually do watch over my kitties. Queenie...Read More
Hi Folks!
Her name is Sticky the cat, the people from the SPCA named her that because some stupid jerk wrapped her in duct tape. And guess what? They caught the bum folks, they actually caught him. A 19 yr old male is now in custody for his hateful act! And folks he claims that he didn't have his head on straight, DIDN'T...Read More
Let's talk more about the pictures and thoughts you send to your animals.
To reiterate:
* animals read our thoughts all the time
* animals communicate with each other through their thoughts and
* animals assume that when they send a thought to a human that the human understands.
Ok horse lovers here's an example
Horses are the most fab...Read More
Definition from the Greek: euthanasia eu = "good" and thanatos = "death", "an easy or happy death".
In my role as an animal communicator, the question asked most by the animal is "How will my person get along without me?" They are not afraid for themselves. They are very concerned for their people. I explain that their people will be ...Read More
Hola Folks!
My stare-down is different from my cute look, when I want to get on the bed I am very stubborn at times and she does not like it at all! So after I have my morning meal, I usually want to get right back up onto the bed and she is not having it. So when she tells me to lay down or go into the kennel, that is when I do my ...Read More
Having a "pom", or "pom-pom", as they are sometimes called, can be such a great breed of dog to own. They are smart, and very loving little dogs. Once you own a pom, you will never want another breed of dog again. They make you melt the second you see one. As long as you can handle a little yapping once in a while, and a lot o...Read More
