Cheap Thrills: Karma’s New Toy

by Amy Shojai | May 9, 2014 | Cat Behavior & Care, Dog Training & Care | 2 comments

I think Magic is truly put out by what the Karma-Kitten gets away with, all in the name of cute-icity. What do you think? Do you have a “double standard” and some of the fur-kids are allowed to do certain things while others are not? Am I a bad pet mom? (Hey, it is nearly Mother’s Day).

I love hearing from you, so please share comments and questions. Do you have an ASK AMY question you’d like answered? Do you have a new kitten and need answers?

How cute! Oh I wish Magic could talk. I think he would be coming and getting you by the paw and tattling about Karma having the shoe. My cats can’t play with anything that has a string, etc. on it – they want to swallow them. Usually If all my cats can’t play with something, none of them can. It amazes me sometimes of how cheap of a toy they like such as a wadded up piece of paper. HAPPY PET PARENT/MOTHER’S DAY to you.

  Oh I think you’re right. Magic knows right from wrong and “mostly” plays by the rules. But I think Karma is a bad influence, too…they’re now egging each other on. LOL!

Celebrating Old Dogs: What Is Old?

It’s National Pet Health Month! Each November, we celebrate old dogs during their “official” month. But when is your dog considered old? We love our senior citizen dogs for the special joy they bring every day. But once a year, we celebrate old dogs during November Adopt A Senior Pet Month.

What is considered “old?” There are individual differences between pets, just as there are for people. While one person may act, look and feel “old” at fifty-five, another fifty-five-year-old remains active with a youthful attitude and appearance. Aging is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, and health care over a lifetime. The oldest dog on record was an Australian Cattle Dog who lived for twenty-nine years and five months…

I’ve written about how to care for an elderly dog before, but this post addresses how to know when your canine friends become old dogs.
