A dog named Pig

You can now follow pig’s adventures on her facebook page. She has gained over 6500 followers over the past few weeks.

Update 6/23 – Pig continues to capture the hearts of many, she’s become an Internet sensation over the past few weeks. She’s just too adorable not to love :

@al.com

You can see video of Pig on USA Today.

Pig was born in Atlanta – she was abandoned alongside her littermates in the woods. Her tiny size and birth defects make it amazing that she survived. Her littermates were able to beckon for help while little Pig stayed behind. Soon the pups were in the care of some good people who took them in.

Pig is an 8 month old Akita mix, she’s missing some ribs, part of her spine, she has twisted vertebrae and her spinal cord splits in two by her neck. She might look like a photoshop but she is the real deal and when her owner Kim Dellenbeck met her it was love at first sight.

Dillenbeck took a trip to see her sister in Atlanta. Upon chance she happened to meet Pig. Pig was being cared for by a neighbor of Kim’s sister. When Dillenbeck met Pig she right away decided to adopt the pup. The two of them now live in Alabama together.

Dillenbeck isn’t sure what Pig’s future holds, she is still growing and gaining another 20 pounds could kill her. For now they live a normal life in Alabama together, though Pig does draw a crowd anywhere she goes. “I’m the lucky one, she makes me laugh everyday” Dillenbeck said when asked about Pig’s luck for being adopted and living a normal life. read more at AL.com.

Review: Lacey’s Lookout™ window Seat

I previously introduced you to the remarkable Lacey’s Lookout™ window Seat from The smart Pet. This high-end lounger is one of the most lovely pieces of feline furniture I’ve seen in a while. Generously sized, this piece needs the right amount of floor space, as well as the right window, so cats can truly take advantage of all the benefits of “Cat TV.”

My home is small, as well as we already have a great deal of feline furniture. After measuring, I realized that in order for the Lacey’s Lookout™ to work as a window seat, I’d have to do some serious furniture rearranging. The only two windows in my house that are low sufficient for the 27 inch high lookout to work are already taken up by bird viewing choices that Allegra as well as Ruby love. I told Lacey’s Lookout™ creator Anna Florey that while I’d be happy to evaluation this product, I most likely couldn’t do it justice with pictures in a window location. She still sent me one so the women as well as I might experience it firsthand (firstpaw?).

And let me tell you, it’s even more lovely than it looks in the photos.

Now mind you, it comes packed flat, as well as needs assembly. Those of you who have checked out me for a while understand that I’m useless when it comes to “some assembly required,” as well as I usually requirement the assist of a good friend to do it. When I saw the number of pieces needed to put the Lookout together, I believed “there’s no way.” The instructions, while detailed, didn’t assist me. I’m extremely visual, as well as written directions seldom work for me.

Then I watched Anna’s assembly video. She kept stating “it’s easy.” “You can’t do this wrong.” as well as much to my surprise, she was right! when I had the very first two pieces joined together, assembly went quickly, as well as it took me less than ten minutes to put the Lookout together.

The women were quick to inspect it out. Not surprisingly, Ruby was the very first to jump up on it. I believe she well shows off the generous sizing of the Lookout – she appears like the Princess on the Pea in the picture at the top of this post, doesn’t she?

Lacey’s Lookout™ includes a big step with a non-skid carpeted surface that is connected with screws rather than glue for simple cleaning. While most cats will be able to jump on top of the window seat without the step, it’s a excellent addition for older, arthritic cats. The window seat can be set up without the step. I did not assemble the step, however since the assembly steps are the exact same as for the Lookout itself, I understand I might have quickly accomplished that, too.

I only desire I had space for this lovely piece. I believe perhaps it’s time to look for a new home – one that has a corner window like the one featured in the second picture (and I wouldn’t mind that specific view, either!) up until then, we’ll keep the Lacey’s Lookout™ as a extremely comfy bed, as well as perhaps we’ll ultimately rearrange some furniture to ensure that we can utilize it as it was meant to be used.

Please checked out my introductory publish to discover out more about this remarkable piece of furniture, including details about the eco-friendly design, which includes the utilize of environmentally friendly wood, the pillow full of polyfill made of recycled soda bottles, as well as a washable cover.

Pet dental Health: Something to Smile about

By Kathy Hosler
January 31, 2019

Adult dogs have forty two permanent teeth and cats have thirty. Those teeth are implied to last a lifetime. However, just like people, animals can develop dental problems. What does pet dental health have to finish with grooming? Actually, much more than you may think.

Dental disease is very common in the animals we groom. The majority of dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease by the time they are three years old.

Pets with dental issues can be very challenging to groom. If they have uncomfortable mouths, they may be irritable and not allow you to work around their face or touch their mouth area when you want to work on their head.

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums caused by a buildup of plaque along the gum line. If it is not removed, tartar begins to form. In time, the tartar builds up and advances under the gum line resulting in periodontal disease. Untreated, periodontal disease can cause receding or bleeding gums, bad breath, and infection or tooth abscesses. It can progress to the point where teeth fall out, and in some cases, results in bone loss to the degree that the jawbone itself can break. Can you think of if that happened to a pet while it was in your care?

And, periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the pet’s mouth, it can also affect the heart and other organs of the body, and possibly shorten the pet’s life expectancy. owners want to take good care of their pets, but some have no clue that their pet ought to be getting regular dental exams and care. They may complain that their pet has bad breath, but they don’t realize there is anything that they can or ought to do about it. numerous of them have never even looked in their pet’s mouth.
Advertisements

Of course you are not a veterinarian, but you can show your client if their pet has tartar buildup on their teeth or if their gums are inflamed. then you can recommend that they go to their veterinarian for a dental exam and cleaning.

We’ve all had animals come into our establishments with major dental problems. If you feel uneasy about safely grooming a pet, refuse the groom and refer them to their veterinarian for treatment. Then, after the issues are resolved, reschedule the groom.

The groomer’s role in pet oral health is helping to educate owners and to offer them with the products and services that promote good dental health. numerous groomers offer the add–on service of teeth brushing. If you do, that’s a terrific place to begin educating the owner about the significance of dental hygiene for their pet.

You probably see their pet multiple times per year on a regular basis. If you notice problems with their pet’s oral health, urge them to take it to their veterinarian for a complete dental evaluation. we all know that pet dental health is not a ‘one time cleaning and it’s good for life’ kind of thing. It’s really vital to educate and encourage all of your pet owners to establish a regimen of at–home oral care for their pets.

This is an opportunity for you to help them and their pets, and at the same time, to retail the products they will need: pet toothbrushes and toothpaste, water additive, breath sprays, dental toys and treats, etc. Ideally, you ought to introduce these products to your clients when their animals are young, before they have dental problems, or just after they have had a veterinary dental cleaning to keep their teeth sparkling and their gums healthy. But, routine oral care can be useful to a cat or canine whenever it begins.

First, owners need to have the best tools for the job. That’s where you can help. show them the different types of soft bristle pet toothbrushes, finger brushes or gauze pads. help them select the one that will be best for their pet. Additionally, sell them toothpaste that is formulated for animals which is typically beef or chicken flavored. tell them to never use their own toothpaste on their pets. numerous human toothpastes have fluoride or xylitol in them which can be life threatening to animals if they consume it.

If you offer teeth brushing, you can show the owner the proper way to brush their pet’s teeth in–between check outs to you. instruct them how to gently lift their pet’s lip and thoroughly clean the teeth. Patience and gentleness are the essential to success in brushing. Some animals will not accept tooth brushing, but there are other ways to help avoid and eliminate dental plaque and tartar.

There are gels that can be applied to their pet’s gums. The action of the pet licking the gel will distribute it throughout the mouth and help loosen the accumulated debris. There are additives that can be placed in the pet’s water bowl that will also aid in plaque removal. and there are sprays that help remove plaque and freshen the breath.

Have a large display of dental treats and toys in your retail area. Rope toys promote a flossing action to clean the teeth. other toys thanull

Yochabel’s Wisdom: The Food connection

guest publish by Casey Hersch

This is the third in a series of posts by Casey Hersch. Casey goes over the lots of lessons she discovered about taking care of Yochabel during her illness, including her quest to stop Yochabel’s cancer from growing/spreading, barriers present with senior cats, variations in diet plan including supplements as well as herbs, as well as exactly how to focus on the private cat’s needs. Yochabel was not only Casey’s feline companion. She left Casey with methods to cope with her own illness, as well as with a higher sense of acceptance as well as gratitude.

My woman is a Foodie

It was our very first day together. I was ecstatic as well as anxious at the exact same time, uncertain exactly how Yochabel would change to her new home. As she maneuvered awkwardly in her bed, favoring her ideal side, as well as slowly alleviated herself down into a sitting position, her eyes stayed locked with mine. As I passed by, doing my normal chores, her bit paws had a life of their own as they reached for me, brushing my leg as I walked by. She undoubtedly desired something…

And then it happened. I poured a scoop of kibble into a bowl. She scooted herself out of the bed, tumbling around with her roly-poly body, as well as butt moving her method to the kibble bowl. As she plopped onto her stomach, she spread her legs flat on the floor, cradling her bowl, doing nothing less than a deal with plant. I heard an orchestra of sounds: “Naw, naw, naw, purr, purr, gurgle, gurgle, burp!” This woman is a foodie! Within minutes the entire bowl of food was gone. provided her enthusiasm, I pictured eating was a considerable source of comfort as well as enjoyment in her prior life.

Yochabel was a peaceful cat. during the years we spent together, I can count on one hand the number of times I heard her meow. however at meal time, I might hear her eating from across the house. Yochabel’s enthusiasm for food, as well as her interest towards it, always made me smile. I felt my spirit increase whenever I saw her food performances. She would park herself in the middle of the kitchen area floor, a web traffic hazard, waiting on the minor possibility I would decrease one smidgen of food (or fail to remember I had just fed her). She would stay in one spot, as well as utilized her front legs to spin herself around, protecting her sore hind legs, to see if she might snag the “surprise” food piece. To fit her like for the kitchen, we developed a special “pedestal,” (a carpet covered platform 6 inches off the floor so she might enjoy me without straining her arthritic neck). She sat, risk-free from spills from a hot stove, as well as waited for her yummies. Over time, we had to lower the platform to 3 inches off the floor for safety. When she believed she smelled food, she would suspend all judgment as well as fling herself off her pedestal, realizing only after she discovered the piece of food, that she had body slammed her frail body onto the linoleum. I understand she would have stated it was worth it. Food genuinely was her passion.

Notice your cat’s enthusiasm as well as joy, as well as utilize them for healing

I took note of Yochabel’s enthusiasm for food from day one. This info was important as I cared for her, particularly when she established transitional cell carcinoma (bladder cancer). It is simple with chronic health problem to let it take in one’s life as well as take away all joy. Some illnesses, particularly cancers, decrease appetite. similar to humans, cancer can make our feline companions appear to be “finicky.” nothing seems to be satisfying or tastes good. often we presume they have stopped eating since they are prepared to die, rather than thinking about other reasons. These modifications in tastes as well as preferences can be a result of the cancer (and age), as well as are not within the patient’s control. Nausea, lack of energy, as well as other bodily modifications can all influence appetite. When Yochabel’s appetite as well as tastes changed, I felt that it wasn’t since she wished to stop eating. It was since her body needed something different than what I was using her. just like when my mom provided me poultry soup when I was ill with the flu, I needed to discover Yochabel’s version of poultry soup to assist her eat with the tough times.

Yochabel taught me a series of lessons that improved her health, made her comfortable as well as able to take pleasure in her enthusiasm – food – with her extremely last day. As pointed out in Yochabel’s Wisdom: protecting the Bond, the Healing Wheel includes enthusiasm as one crucial element of healing. I made sure that I nurtured her enthusiasm for food as well as prioritized methods to keep this happiness in her life while supporting her health. Anything that provides us happiness must be broadened (while being mindful of balance).

Change can be harder for feline parents than for the cat
