Product Review

As everyone with a cat knows, litter box duty can really stink! You may have seen ads for self cleaning litter boxes in the past that looked appealing, though expensive. If you haven't yet made peace with your current litter and scooping routine, then you may have gotten to the point where forking up the dough for a Litter Maid seems like a good idea after all. Well before you go putting a hole in your pocket for the sake of kitty litter sanity, check out this product review and evaluate the money versus madness struggle one more time.

Image hosting by TinyPic Note: Due to the large amount of chaos in my life currently, I will not have time to update this main page on a regular basis. I have changed my settings so that only one blog post will be seen on the main page at a time. This way you won't be seeing a string of old posts taking up space on here. They are not deleted. You can simply view them in the archives. So if it appears that I have not been around for awhile, I'm still here, just haven't had time for adding new blogs. I will, however, be trying to keep up with the Furry Friends Forum, so I'll see you in there!

Purrs and Bruxes,

Image hosting by TinyPic Elliott blessed my life as a tiny one week old pup several years ago. I hand-raised him and we shared a very special bond. He will forever remain, not only one of my favorite rats, but also a favorite pet as well. Read his story in my April 2, 2005 post of his obituary.

Image hosting by TinyPic Vianne decided to own me back in January of 2004. At the time, I was working in an Animal Control Clinic as a vet assistant. Entering the shelter as a stray and after having already gone through her vet exam, work-up, and being a Pet Pal candidate for adoption, it was determined that she had been exposed to a URI from her littermate and was being held on observation for signs of illness. During those few days, I absolutely fell in love with this tiny ball of fur that would simply purr and "hug" me as I held her, not try to squirm away like most kittens. When she began a sneezing fit, she was placed on the euthanasia list. I simply could NOT allow such a sweet heart to be lost that way. I immediately signed up for kitten fostering and she has been a bundle of laughs and a dear friend ever since!
