Renting Housing With Pets Can Be Hard..

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

Due to the actions of a few..who make it bad for responsible pet owners like myself and probably you too. Our pets are all rescues who were abandoned by their previous owners for a multitude of reasons including moving to non-pet friendly housing. Is sad when You have to give up a pet who becomes like a family member. I know I LOVe my babies who are my kids as I have nonhuman ones. What do you think?

I am facing this situation myself as I have been asked to leave housing I recently moved into! I have 8 cats I acquired from each place I had lived as were neglected by their previous owners and I took pity on them and took h in. For doing God's work, I am facing homelessness. Is this fair?

As was the case with my cat Lucky who went and climbed the wall to the top shelf of the closet and wouldn't come down til I moved the shelf and then closed the closet door,thus knocking the shelf on my head. Yeh I had a lump and it still is sore but all part of bieng a pet owner and mom,aw! The little guy has adjusted now finally after a few days and the new place is much nicer than the old one so am happier here and with the move overall.

She went on his lawn and his old dog was out there with him and he was being protective of both of them adn was scared. She is ok but from now on I will keep her away from him and leashed when he is home. It is good advice to do the same when in doubt of your neighbors as to their actions. She is AKC Pit Bull and is intimidating to some who don't know her..Did anything like this ever happen to you? What do you think?

REceived some sa news today, that one of the stray cas we feed, had been hit and killed by a car up the road. We had planned to use a have a heart trap before winter and trap him and his 4 buddies who vist us faithfully from God knows where. I will miss him and was quite saddened by the news. In a way perhaps, his life is a lesson for all of us in two ways. One it sheds light on the plight of homeless animals everywhere. Secondly, atleast he was cried over upon his passing. Many people don't even get that! What do you think? God Bless you Smokey. See you on the RAinbow bridge my little prince. XXOO -Ann

Apple cidar vinegar can be put in food and also added to a poultice with some herbs like aloe vera,epsom salts help,garlic cloves to eat and add to poultice like you would meat to a marinade..witch hazel too. Dip gauze in liquid and wrap the wound as cats carry alot of bacteria in their saliva. don't get me wrong. my 'Toto' is normally a good boy but my room-mate picked him up by his tail to keep him from running out the door so he bit and scrathced him causing his hand to swell up from the puncture wounds and then become infected,ugh! He won't be picking him up like this again,lol..

and yes ofcourse Pointsettas as they have a low toxicity level but still are toxic. Was suprised to see the lady i work for at the church letting her cats have free range of the pontsetta's leaves on the floor and her comment when they got sick that it was something they ate but not the plants as she said was an old wive's tale. hmm. Here is a list of pet friendly plants. And now the poisonous ones. Did you know apple seeds are toxic even to dogs?

Especially on the fine 'Junk drawer' blog, on Entrecard. Go take a look as I was amazed by the quantity of replies she received to her post! This was on my mind too for some time and I should know shouldn't I better than most since I am a pet expert,alternative health practitoner you'd think!? Well..just because I have made money off watching people's animals when they went away on vacation for many years,doing pet grooming and am in ther health field, doesn't mean I am not as in the dark as the rest of you on what is the best course of action to dispose of pet waste affordably,easily,considerately,safely and with the environment in mind for generations to come and not just now and the quick fix. I asked this question before under post 'Obama and Pets', until now..REad more on Open forum, an interesting social network of some very talented writers.

What does Fido eat at your house?

For many Americans Fido is eating quite well! In fact we spend 4 million dollars on our pets this past year alone! It is because of this that our furry and feathery friends, are living longer and happier lives. Does buying quality byproduct,artificial flavorings and colorings-free pet food matter to you or do you buy 'Dads' and other cheap pet food for your beloved pet? Read more

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

A link above. Interesting info on Obama's policy concerning pets!

And now here's a question I want to pose to all environmentalists and green people. What is the best way to dispose of pet waste? I am including cat litter as well as dog feces in the mix here!

I throw the scoopable litter in a plastic bag and toss it in the dumpster daily. I do not pick up after my dog however; as I heard the landfills were full of doggie doo doo bags and they were not biodegradable! There is no law in my town as is rural, so I don't have to pick it up,altho I know it is gross to walk along and smell and see it! It does disintegrate eventually tho. But.. someone said it gets into the water supply so...what do I responsibly do?! Help! I would pick it up if I had to and lived in a city. I also would if there were bags that were biodegradable! Are there? Oh I know paper/?!
