4.6.13 Caturday: Noel’s Blog
4.5.13 Follow Up Friday: Where Does Time Go?
Today is Follow Up Friday. I am not sure how that came up so fast. It seems like time is flying and it was just last Friday. I guess I am becoming a little overwhelmed by all the work I have done lately; days turn into nights, and one blog runs into the next. I just launched a business blog, thedigitalattitude.com, which focuses on people’s journey to their social self, basically helping people figure our their personal brand and how to leverage it online. Come visit me, I am a social butterfly. Anyway, I would love your opinion pet-friends, but won’t bore you here with my business stuff so back to DogDaz (already in progress).
Everyone loved the Catlegs on Caturday, and Easy Rider dubbed it a CATINET. Love that, thanks Easy. The cats do like to play with our secret other pet, Dust Bunny, so I guess that is what they were doing.

Are there really any coincidences in life? I did not realize when I posted the Monday Mischief: Play Ball that it was actually the first day of the Major League Baseball season in the United States. My Dad was a big baseball fan and had season tickets to Shea Stadium where the New York Mets play. I grew up with baseball but never was very good at it. Louise on the other hand would be a great base runner, don’t you think? She showed you her moves in the Thankful Thursday: A Moment In Time video, where she was actually running on the baseball field.
Many readers thought it was really neat that Sofie and Nine could be so cuddly. I guess since I have always had cats and dogs, I expect a certain amount of play. They, however, are the cuddliest two I have ever had.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.

Sofie and Nine – head to head.
From this angle, little 10 lb (4.5 kg) Nine looks as big as 50 lb (22.6 kg) Sofie.
Happy Wednesday!

4.2.3 Love = Proper Health Care
I read an article by Steve Dale, pet expert and certified dog and cat behavior consultant, the other day in my local paper that made me sad. It says that each year less and less people annually are taking their pets to the doctor and 3X as many cat owners do not take them as compared to dog owners. This was from a study published by the American Veterinary Medical Association. What made me even sadder is that preventable illnesses, from pests like fleas and mosquitoes that could be avoided, are not, because people are not safeguarding their animals with preventives. OMG! The cost of the treatment to prevent heartworm disease is so much less expensive than the cost of treating the animal once it has the disease. And I can not image the emotional cost to the family and the pet, when an animal does get sick.
All the doctor stuff in the vets office
What the saddest part of the whole article to me was that he reported many “owners believe they would know if a pet were sick, ” and, “up to 15%… mistakenly feel they can Google any vet solution.” This is a very sad trend if people think that the internet can give health solutions for themselves or their pets.
Waiting for Dr. Kate
I know that I am preaching to the choir, but if you know people who don’t take their animals to see a vet because they can not afford it, maybe you can raise funds in your community to make it more available? Locally, Rude Ranch Animal Rescue just opened a Spay Spa and Neuter Nook, for everyone. I wish that everyone had that option.
If you know people who think they can solve their own medical issues or their animals on the internet, please tell them that doctors and veterinarians are trained to spot a lot of things we regular people can not, like diabetes and cancer.
Thanks for listening.
