We are still out of town with our two cute small dogs.  Kira the slightly larger one has
the most sad eyes when we leave our trailer and she has to stay in.  We do not leave her
and Yoda very long though.  They love new places.  When we take them for walks, all the new
interest smells just really get them excited.  The new sounds increase the frequency of their
barking as they protect our trailer as their territory.  They mean well.  These two dogs are the
closest we will every get to having children.

Kira and Yoda also love the wonderful toys, collars, and carriers available for 15% with code: tw

It has been a fun weekend traveling with the dogs.  My wife and I have two small dogs that are so cute.  It rained most of the weekend.  The dogs are so cute in the rain.  They get really lively in the rain.  Yoda the smaller dog is so cute when he shakes.  Sometimes before we bring them into the truck or our fifth-wheel camper we have to wipe their feet.  The dogs love to travel with us.  We love to have them go with us.  They are so wonderful and offer unconditional love.

• Clean the cage every week
• Provide your hamster with a weekly home checkup. Listen to their breathing, check their paws, teeth, and skin. Make sure their nose is dry and eyes are clear.
• Hamsters like empty toilet paper tubes and will play in them until they chew them to shreds.
• A new cage is best. If you get an old one clean it with vinegar and water. Your hamster will not be harmed and the cage will be cleaned well.
• Give your hamster clean water every day.
• Allow your hamster time to get used to their new cage before handling. Once happy in their new cage, your hamster will be more interested in human attention.
  
• Do not hold them by the legs and wheel barrow them. You can strain their little legs and hurt them.

Ferrets are not drawn to use their litter-boxes like cats, so patience and treats work best to insure a potty trained fuzzy in your home. Here’s how to do it:

1. Begin by training in a smaller space, such as your ferrets cage.
2. As with kittens, look for signs that your ferret is ready to go (such as spinning or backing into a corner) then placing them in the litter pan.
3. After each successful potty session, reward them with a treat immediately.
4. When you feel comfortable that your ferret has the proper manners, begin placing litter-boxes throughout the areas (outside of the cage) they are allowed.
   
5. If you are still having accidents, especially in a cage, try placing food or ferret bedding in the offending area. If this area smells more like their kitchen or bedroom, your ferret will be less likely to continue the unwanted relief in that area.
   
6. Remember, even a potty-trained ferret can make mistakes. Be sure to clean these areas thoroughly, removing any scent with a cleaner such as Nature’s Miracle for Ferrets which will remove any ferret scent, keeping these areas free of the potty smell which could lead to further accidents.

If you own a dog or cat, well chances are it's become a part of your family. Your number one problem will be fleas. In no time you can have a situation of epidemic proportions. Over the years I'll bet I've spent enough time and money just on killing fleas to buy a new car. Many of the problems you have owning a pet will be caused by fleas.

Now I use a product called Advantage on my cat "Fred". I've been using it for three years now. I swear by this product to save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Not to mention your sanity.

Advantage (imidacloprid) is a topical flea killer for dogs and cats applied monthly. Advantage stops biting fleas in three to five minutes and starts to kill adult fleas within an hour after application. Within 12 hours of application, 98-100 percent of fleas are dead. Advantage remains effective even if pet gets wet.

I'm not going to make a ton of money by writing all this. What I am saying is... Here it is. This is what works.

Now when my cat opens the front door and walks in, I'm like... Hey Fred, how's it going? He's not yowling at me and the kids aren't crying. I don't know about you but that means a lot to me.
