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 [...]
Really Cute Pets Video
Okay, it is Sunday. Time to look at things that are not related to the Gulf oil geyser and time to enjoy pets, family and a little fun time. I thought I would post this awesome video from Drs. Foster and Smith. It says in far more than words why we love our pets so [...]
More Wild Horse Roundups Planned
The death toll keeps rising for wild horses because of the roundups that have already taken place. But the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is already scheduling more roundups. Seriously, what in the world is wrong with these people? According to this bureaucratic arm of our government 2000 horses can’t be sustained on a half [...]
Heart Warming Horse
Hurricane Katrina was a disaster of monumental proportions for the people of the United States and for the people of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans in particular. We could spend a whole lot of time talking about the failures of our government and the lack of aid to the storm ravaged area both before [...]
Stop Horse Slaughter
I was born in Missouri and grew up just across the state line in Kansas. There were many slaughter houses and meat packing plants in the Kansas City area. The stink was in the air from these plants for miles and you smelled it every day as you drove into Kansas City from the suburbs. [...]
Stop Deadly Wild Horse Round Ups
The Bureau of Land Management just seems to be steaming ahead with its plans to decimate the wild horse population in Nevada. If they continue with their cruel and inhumane round ups , Nevada will lose the majority of its wild horse population. All of this is to please a few big ranchers who want [...]
Calling All Teachers
I have long believed that animals are very good ways to teach children empathy and consideration for their fellow beings. Children who are exposed to animals at a young age learn to care for someone besides themselves and they learn to respect the animal they care for. That respect then grows to encompass other animals [...]
Valentine-Pet or Spouse?
I know who I would pick to spend Valentines Day with. It is my cats, hands down. Why? Because they are always there for me, they love me unconditionally (except sometimes when I feed them what they don’t exactly desire) and besides I divorced my spouse thirty nine years ago and haven’t looked back since. [...]
Therapeutic Horse Riding
In my opinion, animals improve anyones life. Whether its a dog, cat, ferret, gerbil, pig or any number of other animals people who live alone, senior citizens, shut-ins, the handicapped and families benefit from the presence of animals in their lives. Haven’t we all known this for quite some time? But did you know that riding [...]
