4.16.13 Cats & Dogs Can Be Friends – But Litter Can Kill

IMG_20130414_203928_574

nine lulu

A High School friend of mine (via Facebook) contacted me yesterday with an interesting question. She has 8 cats (bless her little rescuing heart) and is considering getting a small dog.  She has never had a dog and was worried about several things, but especially about the dog eating cat litter.  With 9 pans in her house, I could understand the concern.  What I learned in answering her question was that kitty litter could actually be toxic to small dogs (I did not know that).  Check out this information on eHOW. I always have had a concern about dog’s eating cat poop, but I did not think about them eating the actual litter. It makes sense that clumping litter could really block a small dogs system, and it contains chemicals that could cause all kinds of gastro distress.

In our house, we have 2 uncovered pans in the the laundry room accessible only through a cat door or by a human, and a third side entry pan by my office, which the dogs can not get into.  We try for one pan per cat.

Cats and dogs can make the best of house mates.  Notice in the photo above, Mr.Nine last night taking over Louise’s bed.  You can see 60 pound Lulu in the corner trying to lie on Sofie’s little dog bed because she did not want to tangle with the 10 pound ManCat sleeping in the middle of her’s. Around here cats tend to have the upper paw.    BOL BOL (Bark Out Loud)   

Post script:  My thoughts and prayers are in Boston today. When will senseless killing end.

Tuesday’s Puppy Pesto Gardener

thefluffingtonpost:

Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business

Pesto is great. You can put it on pasta, you can put it on sandwiches, you can just dip Italian bread in it.

A love of pesto is what’d driving Humphrey the mastiff puppy to put all his savings into a new business veture: Presto Pesto.

“Humphrey has planted a large basil garden in the backyard,” said the dog’s business partner Tony Maggliotti. “He plans to use his own, homegrown basil and to locally source parmesan cheese. But the secret ingredient? He’ll be using pistachios instead of pine nuts.  It’s delicious.”

Humphrey will ship his first batch of Presto Pesto in June.

Via mastiffmoz.

Thank you ‘Oh Great Powers That Be’ for the flowers.  Mom says she would like a few days of spring weather, if you could arrange it, instead of straight into summer temperatures, but we are thankful for what we can get.

This is part of the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop from PepiSmartDog.com

4.10.13 Wordless Wednesday: Finding Lucy

IMG_20130408_120100_552

Mom took us down to the water, like usual, to ‘go fishing.’

We love to run along the docks and look for strange and smelly things.

Today, we found Lucy (she lives down the block).  We think she is strange and smelly (and she sure does run and jump a lot).  We think she was hiding on a boat with her Dad because she came out of no where.

 Happy Wednesday.
