Halloween is near! Although this may be a fun time for children and adults, this can be a scary time for our pets.
It’s a noisy and busy night. It’s important to keep your pets inside, safe, and calm.
Here are some safety tips from petMD.
“Volunteer Marcia Berrios will never forget the day Biggie was surrendered by his owner. On August 6th, 2015, a man pulled into the driveway and brought out a white dog with black spots. He had tears in his eyes.”

Took a beautiful fall drive today. It started off sunny and beautiful! We drove on a lot of country roads. At one point, we drove by two horses out in a large fenced area who were on opposite sides of the fence. Then one started running toward the other one and stopped right in front of it. They were nose to nose. It was as if they were saying “hello friend.” It happened really fast, and we were driving on the highway, so I didn’t catch a picture of it. But the picture below pretty much catches the moment we saw. It was beautiful!
We were starting to think we were too late for seeing fall colors. Then we caught a few beautiful hillsides and a tree with a steeple in the background.
The weather turned cloudy, cold, and windy! But it was worth it. Fall is a short season, got to get out and enjoy it!
Hope you have the beauty of the fall season to enjoy wherever you are!
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax and get a massage!
This dog has the right idea!
(It may take a minute for it to fully load)Have you ever gotten a massage? I did just one time. It was a gift from my sister for Christmas. We went together. I was really nervous because it seemed really weird to me to have have a stranger give you a massage. It turned out not to be as weird as I thought and it was certainly very relaxing! I would probably get another one some day.
How about your pet? Have you ever taken them for a massage? I love that this is an option for our pets too. After all they get sore just as we do.
Volunteering comes in many forms. Of course, since I am animal person, my first thought is volunteering to help animals. But that has always been a challenge for me.
If I were to volunteer at a Humane Society, I would cry seeing all the animals waiting for a new home or waiting on a worse fate. I looked into volunteering at a zoo and then decided I couldn’t stand seeing these animals in captivity. I thought about visiting nursing homes with dogs as therapy, but when I tried it I realized it was not for me. One of the elderly women there had told me they wouldn’t let her have her dog at the nursing home. She was so concerned about her dog that I went to the desk and asked them about it. They said she didn’t have a dog. The elderly lady said she did have a dog and that they just wouldn’t listen to her. I felt so uncomfortable and didn’t know what to think.
Cletus was a senior dog that was abandoned in a park. My first reaction was to be pretty upset with the person who did this, but then I read the full story.

Take time to play!
Take a nap!

Sunday “Paws” to “Claws.” If you haven’t seen my post from last night, please check it out here and please share your thoughts with me on declawing.
One of my “Tuesday Tales” sparked quite a conversation with myself and a few other bloggers. The post was about my cat, Cino, and our first weeks together.
Here is the part of the post that got the conversations going:
“The next few weeks would turn out to be a pretty rough beginning for us. I had to take her to the veterinarian to catch up on some vaccinations and because she was sick. She needed to be given medication for the next 10 days (poor thing). Then I went to give the paperwork from the veterinarian to the apartment manager. She gave them back to me and said she needed to be declawed in the back. What?!” Continue reading
This is the tale of Charlee.
Charlee is 8 months old. She had a family and a home. Sadly, one day when Charlee was in the backyard of her home, she somehow got out and into the street, and a car hit her.
We don’t know the entire back-story. How she got out of the backyard or how much the surgery would cost. What we do know is her family could not afford the surgery Charlee required, so they brought her to a shelter.
At the shelter, she received the necessary surgery; however, they could not save her back right leg.
