How to Decide… Dog Collar or Dog Harness?                                          
There is a lot to consider when choosing between a dog collar or harness. I remember being unsure which to choose for Mia. There are many factors to consider. Here are several issues to help you in your decision making:
• It is strongly recommended that any dog with a respiratory problem should wear a dog harness. Due to dog collars placing too much pressure on a dog’s throat and airway, it can do more harm then good.
• One must not forget that small dogs like Shih Tzu’s, Chihuahuas, Yorkies and Pomeranians are fragile and have delicate necks. Therefore, if you have a small dog, a soft harness is recommended. This prevents the risk of damage to their small organs.
• It is recommended for dogs that like to pull wear a harness. Again, it’s a question of protecting your dog’s health. Pulling on a collar may bring about coughing, wheezing or even cause permanent damage.

• Both dog… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Hi pet lovers, my name is Nicole and Mia is my beautiful, four pawed daughter. She is my little sunshine and my best friend. Since I love to spoil her, as any mother would, it inspired me to open my online dog boutique. www.K9CoutureBoutique.com

The boutique was off to a slow start, and I was quite discouraged. The competition is fierce! However, I am proud of the quality of products and designers that I currently carry.

So - let’s talk about dogs…

Hello - just a very short posting. I wasn’t going to do one today, but I knew you would all be worrying about our impending set-to with “the bloke who sticks needles in us once a year.” I had both Tabby and Ginger Tail stationed by the window this morning waiting for the postman, but there was still no sign of the appointment card. All he delivered was the usual rubbish.
“The one I don’t trust” must be more important than I thought, because he had a letter from The Queen, a brown envelope from Her Majesty’s Government inviting him to send money. Times must be hard - the global recession, whatever that is, must be starting to bite. I took the precaution of shredding the letter as for some reason the brown ones always seem to make him angry. The last one he got sent him into a state of near apoplexy - he went off on a foul mouthed diatribe about begging letters and squeezing blood out of stones. Apparently they think he is a charity and he has to pay for a bunch of “ne’er do wells,… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Hello folks. Things are still very tense around here. All three of us were waiting for the postman this morning, but fortunately there were no further reminders from “the bloke who sticks needles in us once a year” about our dreaded appointment. We must remain vigilant at all times - I wouldn’t put it past him to phone up. Mmm…. I wonder if I can chew through the telephone cable? Best get Tabby to do it in case it’s dangerous. Anyway, enough of this, I feel very tired today. Only got up for breakfast, and that wasn’t much to speak of, a small hand full of prawns - I don’t usually get out of bed for less than a dozen! “How can you be tired, you’ve only just got up?” I hear you say. Us cats need our sleep - did you know, that often we spend up to 23 hours a day kipping, napping, or otherwise dead to the world. If I didn’t get up early, I would never fit it all in.Once the postman had cleared off, I decided to go for a wander round my patch - thought a breath of fresh air might do… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Have you all missed me? No! Not any of you! I don’t know why I bother. “The one I don’t trust” went away yesterday, and do you know what, he only took my computer with him. What a cheek. Anyway, I’m back.

We had a bit of “a do” over the weekend. “My poncy brother” developed a pronounced limp(L-I-M-P, pronounced limp) which gradually got worse. Oh, you should have seen the fuss he made. He will do anything for a bit of sympathy. “The pretty one” was all over him - you’d think he was at deaths door. She even gave him extra prawns - sometimes even I am astonished at just how gullible she can be. I had a good look at him, and all I could see was a small cut on his rear offside leg - a minor scratch. No comparison with my old war wound that I never talk about. “Oh no, he’s not going to start rambling on about that again is he?” Who said that? Have I told you about it before then? Surely not - I don’t like to mention it.Apparently Tabby had been doing a bit of ratting, and one of the… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Hello folks. Well, as we thought, I got the blame for the snowdrop incident. There’s no justice is there? Just you wait until the crocuses, crocuseses…, croci, whatever??? appear – I’ll get my own back then. I’ve had quite a traumatic morning, a very narrow escape in fact. Almost used up one of my nine lives. “Thank goodness you’re safe” I hear you cry? I said, “Thank goodness you’re safe” I hear you cry – must be going a bit deaf. You need to speak up a bit. Anyway, I had popped over next door to do a bit of digging. Now usually, I keep my eyes open for the nasty little Jack Russell. Well, I must have let my guard down, because the damn thing crept up on me.

The shock of it – I just got to the apple tree by the back fence, scrambled up, closely followed by said Jack Russell snapping away at my tail. We were about ten feet off the ground when the stupid mutt remembered it couldn’t climb trees, and fell backwards, landing on the ground with a satisfying thump….

A very good day to you all. It has been quite pleasant here in London - a bit cold, but bright and sunny. After a hearty breakfast of prawns, I decided to go for a gentle stroll round my patch. I saw something very interesting, which I will tell you about in a minute. Before that though there have been some strange goings on with our cat biscuits. “The one I don’t trust” has got it into his head that I am, well how shall I put this…… well rounded, if you get my drift. So, he only went and bought the “light low calorie” version of our favourite bickies. He never thinks these things through. Our bowl is always topped up - I insist on them never letting it get empty - so guess what happened. Yes, that’s right, we ate twice as much as usual. He can’t understand why we got through two bags so quickly. In fact, I’ve actually put a bit of weight on. Hopefully this nonsense will stop when he realises it is costing him double to feed us.

The things I have to put up with! Anyway, I… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Hello – I’m back again. Sorry about the last few days – I was going to tell you a little story yesterday, but by the time I woke up from my afternoon nap, I had a big decision to make. Should I turn over and go back to sleep, or should I write my blog. Anyway, I had a really good kip. Now, what was I going to write about??? Oh yes, I remember. Did you know that a family pet can improve the quality of life for the people they live with? Not only that, but medical science has shown that these folks also lead longer and healthier lives. I heard all this while I was dozing in front of the telly the other evening.

It was an interesting programme, only interrupted by cynical comments from “the one I don’t trust”. Hair on the furniture, fleas, furballs, eats us out of house and home, were just a few of the more repeatable remarks he made. Clearly he doesn’t appreciate the benefits of having me around the place. The gist of the story is that having animal companions - cats and… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

I wasn’t going to do a blog today - I felt I needed a rest. However, something quite amazing has happened. Would you believe it, the BBC is now following me to see what the hot topics are. Now, this is the amazing thing, they are then regurgitating the stories as if they were their own. I wonder if I can sue them for plagiarism - whatever that is. I never realised I was so influential. “What on earth is he on about now“, I hear you ask. Oh ye of little faith - it’s all true. You will recall a few days ago, we were discussing how us cats are descended from the gods of ancient Egypt, and I was educating you about our heritage.Guess what happened yesterday - the BBC news website published a story telling how a 2,000 year old temple, dedicated to the cat god Bastet had been dug up in Alexandria. Spooky isn’t it how this discovery was made a day or two after my blog on the same subject appeared. Are there no limits to my amazing powers. You think I am making this up don’t you - well (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
