A Dog Receives Communion
This is a heart warming incident. I won’t go into the details of this particular case because I really want you to read the article about an unwanted dog who was rescued by a nice man. I will say, I think the church that accepted both the man and his canine companion should be celebrated [...]
Aqua Rehab – for a Cat?
Most dogs seem to love water, especially the retrievers. In fact, most animals seem to have a natural love of getting in the water and swimming. However, when it comes to cats, the water is fun and refreshing thing doesn’t seem to get through to many of them. Kittens who are trained to water seem [...]
Just For Some Laughs
Long term readers of this blog know that I simply cannot resist funny, captioned pictures of animals. I don’t think I am the only one. I recently ran across a couple of really cute captioned cat pictures and since I won’t be using them in posts anytime soon, I thought I would just put them [...]
Cats Find Forever Homes
At times it can seem the whole world is a bad place and animals are all getting hurt. To an extent that is true. But in the bigger picture of things, lots of people, doing just what they can adds up to a lot of good getting done. Over July 4th weekend the ASPCA adopted [...]
Pit Bull Drags Baby–To Safety
There is an old saying that goes ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ I have always felt this is what explains the really beautiful woman with the rather homely man and vice versa. All this really means is that we judge a person or group by our own perceptions and each of us [...]

It is the birthday holiday for our country and a time to spend with family and friends enjoying good food, fireworks, fun and just plain companionship. If you are like me, your eyes mist up every time you hear the anthem [...]
Bionic Cat
A couple of months ago, I wrote about a horse named Molly who received an artificial leg. It is truly a heart warming story about one animals drive to go on living. Now it seems Molly isn’t the only animal with a great sense of survival. A black cat named Oscar had both of his [...]
Lion Meat Burgers? You Are Serious?
Lions are a vulnerable species in the wild. We will be lucky to reverse the trend for these animals and keep then off the endangered list. So why in all that is holy would a restaurant be serving burgers made from real lion meat? I must admit I am at a loss as to why [...]

An animal cruelty law in North Carolina has been signed by the states governor, Bev Perdue and that makes it the law of the land now for the state. The law is called Suzie’s Law and was named after a dog that was found beaten and burned in a park. The female German Shepherd type [...]
Attracting Jaguars with What?
Scientists in Guatemala have set out numerous camera traps to get pictures of the native big cat known as the Jaguar. They are doing this to keep track of the big animals and make sure the species numbers are being preserved. As with all of the other big cats, the Jaguar is under pressure from [...]
One Cats Very Bad Day
We have all heard that cats can fall a long ways and always land on their feet. This is partially true. Cats actually get hurt less when falling from greater heights than they do from say, one story. It all has to do with a cats anatomy. As they fall they twist kind of in [...]

The problem is the food has insufficient levels of Thiamine (Vitamin B-1) which is essential to cats and their health. The product is Iams ProActive Health canned Cat and Kitten Food – all varieties of 3 oz & 5.5 oz cans. [...]
Top 10 Most Endangered Species
At the end of last year the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) put out their list of the ten animal species to watch in 2010. We are now half way through the year and it seems we still have members of these species but are we doing enough? Sadly, the Giant Panda, Tiger and Polar Bear [...]
Another Hero Cat
We hear often about dogs who do heroic things either to save people or protect society. However, cats seem to be another matter entirely. That is why I hurry to post anything I run across which features a real life hero cat. Cats love their humans as much as dogs do but show it in [...]
Kitten Shot by Trooper
There are some things that are just too over the line to be believed. This is one of those things. On his birthday a North Carolina child is given a kitten for his very own pet. He takes care of it and loves it and the kitten is now five months old. But he happens [...]
Kitten Takes Wet ‘N Wild Ride
Anyone who has raised a kitten knows they can disappear in a nanosecond and turn up in the most unlikely places imaginable. They are so skilled at getting themselves into trouble that people who raise cats come to have a second nature of looking in anything before they close it to make sure a kitten [...]
India Street Dogs Get Fresh Water
The water in the gutters and other places that street dogs in India can find to drink is dirty at best and poisonous with contamination at worst. Something needed to be done so the thirsty animals could have clean water to drink. Enterprising individuals came up with an idea to make cement water bowls then [...]
A Very Lucky Penguin, Indeed!
I believe animals are smart. I have witnessed dogs, cats and birds doing things that prove their intelligence. But even though I believe in my animal friends brain capacity, they never cease to amaze me. I love it every time another member of the animal kingdom shows off just how clever they are. That is [...]
