Thursday’s Mob Otters

Otters (by Samoht Ekpil)

No offense meant by the title, but don’t they look like they could knock you off if they had a machine gun? – DogDaz

5.21.13 Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop: Goats & Rats

So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails!  New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post whenever you want all week long.  The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you!  Even pets from PetFinder, are fine.  Let’s just get them all homes!

 Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use.  The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Let’s hop to it!  Today we are focused on some some GOATS and some RATS.  I understand that rats make wonderful pets.  In college, one of my friends had one and it followed her everywhere.  I never had a goat, but I would think they might be fun (especially if you like feta cheese).

Do you find these Tuesday’s Tail of interest?  Let me know and I will keep posting them.

Let’s hop to it!  Today we are focused on some Guinea Pigs and a Wabbit (bunny rabbit).  Guinea Pigs normally only live 4 to 6 years, so let’s get these babies in homes quick. You know how much we miss our little piggies and wish we could have some, but, alas, I think Louise and Sofie would not like that at all.

4.30.13 Spring Reflections: Achoooo!

It always amazes me how the plants just seem to ‘pop’ all of a sudden.  This April, here in the Mid-Atlantic, we had a record snow fall, record cold, and record heat.  I am glad to report, though cooler than normal temperatures overall this month, ‘spring has sprung!’  As you can see reflected in my front door.

Noel watching the flowers grow last year (because I just love this picture).

Poor Sofie Bear has been struggling terribly with seasonal allergies this spring, and I keep her on a daily dose of Benadryl, which seems to be helping.  She has this incredible sense of self preservation, on days when the pollen is maximum strength (like last Friday) she refused to go outside (smart girl).  As I write this we are thankfully having a light rain, which maybe will bring the pollen count down.  Until I moved to the Mid-Atlantic my animals never suffered from seasonal allergies, but it appears that this is a really bad area for both humans and pets.

One thing I know for sure is that this too shall pass, I just hope for Sofie’s sake it is sooner, rather than later.

Today’s lesson from Sofie – When the world outside is unsafe for you – stay in – go back to bed.  But do try again tomorrow.

Do your animals get seasonal allergies?  What do you do?
