Pet Care

This video is marvelous!  My friend Wendy of Inbeaute Photography is kept by two cats.  She forwarded this video to me and I am delighted to share it with you.  A caveat: Cats do love tuna, but it does not meet their nutritional needs.  If you want to give your cat tuna, check with your vet first.  Sit back with your favorite cat, a cuppa joe and enjoy.  This video is just under 7 minutes.

Harmony,

Janet Roper

I have just returned from the barn and taking care of Shiloh: deworming, feeding, grooming, and spoiling–not in that particular order.  This was the first day that he was out grazing, and it made me think of the horse care that needs to be provided with the onset of spring.  Click here to read more [...]
