Today, while my husband and I were at the drug store, we saw a little kitten wondering around. We approached the kitty but she was too scared to let us touch her. She would drop to the ground about 3 feet away from us and roll all around, like she was doing tricks for us. Her big eyes and long tail were so cute that I just wanted to grab her up and squeeze her. After a bit, I finally coaxed her to come up to me, and she crawled up on my lap and the longer I pet her, the more she liked it, and I knew I couldn't let her there. So, now she is home with me. Shes filled her empty belly and played and is now resting with a stuffed cat that looks like her, in our bathroom. I've yet to decide what to do with her, but I know that this is one kitten that will never be hungry or scared again. It makes me sad though to think about her litter mates, where are they, are they scared or hungry, or even alive. I know I can't save them all, but I can't help think about it.

0 Comments Published by cingroomer July 5th, 2008 in blogrollI know personally that I’ve had a really hard time deciding who I want for web hostingfor my websites. I also have a friend that makes doggie clothes and shes in the same boat. It seems there are so many out there, so many choices and features that I don't know about or have even heard of, that my mind just spins wwhen I try to decide who to go with.

You all know about dogs that are used for sniffing out bombs, or drugs or other things, but have you heard of the bedbug sniffing dog. No kidding. Dogs are now being used to sniff out bedbugs in hotels. The sniffing dogs can completely checkout a hotel room in 2 minutes.
Because bedbugs have all of a sudden become a problem again at many hotels in the USA, this has become a popular choice for hotels to help detect if the pesky little creatures are in their hotel rooms. Why would they choose to have a dog instead of the traditional exterminator, for one thing, the cost is overall lower because of the short amount of time that it takes a dog to search for them and because the nose can actually pinpoint where they are, saving time. Also, they are reliable. If they don’t find them, you can be sure there are none, they are extremely accurate in their findings.
The canine bug sniffers most go through a rigorous training program specifically for the scent of a bed bug before they can become certified just like the dogs that are trained for bomb and drug sniffing.
The next time you go to a hotel, check for the Certified Bed Bug Free certificate that is issued by the companies for hotels which have been inspected by canines.
Once again, mans best friend is certainly my best friend, I know I’ll sleep better in a hotel with the Certified Bed Bug Free certification.

Starting off, your puppy will need its first set of shots at the age of 8 weeks, and not before. Depending on the area you live in, different vaccines are also given. In areas that do not have a high tic count, or high Lymes disease incidence, most veterinarians will not include that in the regular vaccines. The most common first set of vaccinations would be the DHPP, or Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus. If your veternarian vaccinates for Leptospirosis disease, it will be a DHLPP. Since there are very few cases of Lepto anymore, your pet probably will not be receiving a vaccination for that. They will also get their Bordatello, either a shot or drops in the nose. Some people refer to this as kennel cough. The DHPP or DHLPP should be repeated again at 12, 16 and 20 weeks of age. Your pet should also be dewormed at this time and started on their heartworm preventative. At 3 months, your pet should receive his Rabies vaccination. Some counties and states have different requirements on this so be sure to check with your locality. The next year, the Rabies and the DHPP (DHLPP) will need to be repeated. After this, it is not necessary to have them more then once every three years, if your county recognizes the 3-year Rabies vaccine. The Bordatella however, should be repeated annually. This is especially necessary for pets that are boarded, groomed or around other pets such as at parks or playdates.
Be sure to watch your puppy closely the evening after his vaccinations to ensure he is not having a negative reaction to the vaccines. It is normal for them to be a little sluggish and maybe not want to eat, but use common sense in evaluating that. If you think that the symptons are more severe then normal, such as difficulty breathing, seizures or rapid heart rate,get them back to the vet immediately, and for future vaccinations, let the veterinarian know so they can do an antihistamine shot prior to giving more vaccinations to avoid any bad reactions or adjust which vaccinations they are giving.
Remember, its extremely important to have your pet vaccinated properly and discussing this with your veterinarian may put your fears and questions to rest.
Your dog is groomed to the hilt, you are looking pretty spiffy yourself, you know exactly what to do, or so you think and you are hoping that your dog knows the same.

Is it fact or fiction that dogs and cats can hear so much better then humans? Let me put it this way. Humans hear at a Hertz of 23,000. Dogs hear 45,000 Hertz and Cats at 65,000 Hertz. The higher the Hertz, the higher pitch can be heard. So, it looks like they outrank our human hearing by quite a bit.
Why is that they hear so much better. First off, since they are both prey animals, they depend on their hearing to get their prey, though dogs also use sight, unlike cats that mainly use their hearing. Notice the difference in their ears and human ears. They have 20 extra muscles in their ears, giving them the flexibility to turn their ears in all directions. Also, their ear flaps act as a sort of funnel to pull in all the sounds in the direction that they are pointing their ears.
How serious is deafness in dogs and cats. Well, it can be pretty serious if you do not care for your pet properly if they are deaf. They should not be left outside unattended or off a leash. Cats should not be allowed to roam outside. If you aren’t sure whether your pet is deaf or not, your veterinarian can perform a BAER test which measures whether or how much the brain stem is receiving signals, and if properly.
While there are some breeds of dog that are inherit to deafness, and some breeds of cats, such as while male cats, there are also other ways of becoming deaf. The natural aging process in both can lead to hearing loss, as well as severe ear infections or other diseases.
Be alert as to any changes your pet may exhibit, like not coming when you call them, or not barking when the doorbell rings like normal, of course, if they still jump up every time the refrigerator door opens, they are just being choosey about the sounds they are reacting too, and I’m sure that hearing loss is not involved.
This Might Just Save Your Pets Life
0 Comments Published by cingroomer June 24th, 2008 in Cats, Dogs, horsesThere might come a time when your pet stops breathing, and just like with humans, knowing CPR can be invaluable. Yes, you can do CPR on your pet, large or small. This works for dogs, cats, small animals, even barn yard animals. You might want to try this on a stuffed animal first, just to make sure you have the hang of it, incase the need does arrive.
First off, lay the animal on its right side. Feel for a pulse in the thigh or the heart area. Next, clear the airway of any obstruction by pulling the tongue out of the mouth and looking for an object causing the obstruction. When clear, close their mouth holding shut and and breath into the nose with short quick breaths, approximately 10-15 times. Make sure the mouth is closed or your breath will come right back out of it. Next, come the compressions. These are done by crossing your hands over the heart area and pressing rapidly down with a little strength about 5 times, then revert back to the nose breaths. You can do this several times. If time elapsed has reached 15 minutes, there is basically no chance for revival.
Another tip is the Heimlich, which is basically the same as when it is with people. Again, check the airway. I’m not a huge fan of rawhide chews because of this, they seem to be the biggest culprit. If your pet is choking, put the animals back against your stomach. Next, place your hands over the rib cage, and with 3 hard pushes try to dislodge the object, You can also tip the animal upside by its rear legs if its small enough. Always try to dislodge the object first by looking into the mouth and seeing if you can reach it.
Remember, do not panic. That will not help the situation at all. Practice these steps in order to become comfortable with them just in case the need arises.
