What Our Pets Already Know About Us

Recently I sat back and conducted what is best described as a 'Life Review' and it was a pretty interesting exercise.  I'm in my 50's and started jotting down what I'm grateful at this stage in my life...here's my list:

• By sharing my love of animals & keeping them safe, connecting with others & expressing this passion freely & openly, I feel authentic, healthy, happy & joyful 
• Living by the mantra 'there is a gift in everything'; it shows up in many ways, one of which is me embracing my imperfections (no more asking does my b*m look big in this :)) 
• Giving myself the freedom to be who I am meant to be (& not a people pleaser at home or in my career)

Lost Pet. Big Scary World... A Microchip Alone Is Not Enough!

It’s a really big, scary world out there for cats and dogs who are lost and alone, far from home. And even though you may think your pet would never run away - never to be one of the lost ones cowering in an alley or running across a busy street - the sad fact is that it can happen to any pet.  

For example, at Halloween many pets understandably become scared of all the noise, activity at the front door and in the house and there is a higher risk they may try and escape the noise and confusion.

Annual Pet Blessings Day - October 4th

Pet Blessings day will be celebrated by many this weekend and beautifully represents a gathering of love, protection and kindness towards animals.

For me, Pet Blessings are given and received, from us to our pets and them to us.  My gateway to love is through my pets, and I believe this to be true for many people.

The Ferocious HairBall

Twelve Years On...9/11

Seems hard to believe it was 12 years ago, still get goose bumps when I think of that day.   I was getting ready to leave my house in Scotland for the last time to fly out to start a new life in California.  Just me and Darcey Bussell, my precious kitty.  

Got Monday Blues!

Do you ever go to work on a Monday and feel stressed, anxious and drained before the day starts?

Did you feel like that over the weekend, or when you have time off, when a new day dawned for you and your pets?   Probably not!  

So why is that and what can you do about it…

My Childhood Dog's Legacy

Cat Treats

Cats are connoisseurs.  Unlike dogs, they tend to be rather fussy and choosy...and not just about their food.  Interestingly, many times, if their normal feeding routines are disturbed or their menu changes dramatically, they soon let us know they are displeased and will often reject their food.

Canine Quirks

Who hasn't wondered why dogs chase their tails?  If they understand it when you point?  And whether cats and dogs really dog get along?  Now we share anwers to the most common, interesting and unusual questions pet lovers have when it comes to their dogs, including:-

• Do dogs remember incidents?
• Why don't dogs get hairballs?
• How can dogs run many miles or more in sledding races?
