Looks like this kitten is enjoy some spring flowers! What a cutie.
I’m not sure what kind of tree this kitten is in … perhaps dogwood?

You know, before we got our puppy I didn’t really know how many different products were out there for cats and dogs. We’d always kept reptiles and this is our first experience with having a dog for both of us.
The pet market is a huge industry! I knew it was, but I didn’t realize how many companies specialize in clothing for pets and pet medicines and so on. People will do anything for their pets won’t they?
I was really surprised a few months ago when I was flipping through a magazine and I saw an ad for diet pills for dogs. I think there’s television commercials for the product too.
I have to say that I really don’t agree with the idea of giving a dog diet pills. I mean unless it’s in poor health and that causes it to be very inactive. Putting the dog on a diet, not feeding it table scraps and extra snacks and taking it out for more walks is the way to go.
What do you think of diet pills for dogs?

My puppy is being a bit of a pest tonight.
She gets a little hyper in the evening when Chris and I are both home. She’s always running around, chewing her toy bones and dropping them loudly on the floor. Then she’ll jump up on my husband where he’s lying on the couch, then jump off and come to visit me on the other couch … just a constant ball of motion.
I wouldn’t mind so much if she got this hyper some time during the day, but it’s really distracting when you’re trying to watch TV. We have to keep turning the volume up because the sound of her toy bones dropping on the hardwood floor or bumping into things is so loud. Oh we tell her to go and lie on her bed when she’s playing with her toy bones, but she only stays there for a while.
I think I’ll be glad when she starts to calm down a bit more. Don’t get me wrong I love her puppy attitude, but it is tiring!

Get a load of the look on this cats face? Does it look peeved to you? I think someone must have disturbed the little fella while he was playing on the computer …. with the mouse of course.
Actually there’s a paper that says Iams stuck to the front of the computer. Perhaps the cat is peeved because he’s hungry?

Chris and I are excited about having our puppy around and the fact that we’ll more than likely be outside doing more interesting activities this year as a result.
We’ve even gone so far as to brainstorm regarding all the different places we can take our dog and what interesting things we can do with her. I’ve mentioned many times that I’ve enjoyed just getting out each day to take her for a walk, but we can do so much more.
For example we love taking her to the park and watching her run around on her long leash. We aren’t comfortable with her going leashless yet although she’s fairly responsive when we call her to come to us. We’ve also taken her to a few of our Toronto beaches already. I’m sure she’ll really enjoy that in the heat of the summer when she can take a nice dip in the cool waters of Lake Ontario to cool off.
Lately I’ve been considering getting skate shoes. She loves her walks, but if I get skate shoes I could go even farther with her without over tiring myself.
I think she’s still a little too young and not obedient enough to tag along beside our bikes if we went riding … plus they say you really shouldn’t take young dogs running for any major distances until they are about two years old as they can hurt themselves more easily.
Anyone have any great suggestions as to what else we can do with our dog this summer?
BTW we’re enjoying a feast today thanks to our neighbors and the fact that they are celebrating Greek Orthodox Easter. Take a look at the delicacies they gave us! Yummmmm!
