Ed and Reub: Reub these days

I have to post about Ruben. Talking about an aggressive pet is a bit of a taboo. The truth is that this blog probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the mental imbalance of Reub, who went dangerously unglued about five years ago and made me write about his medication. Prozac. "" My dog on Prozac "Still gets hundreds of hits every month, but now Blogger can't support the number of comments there anymore. If you visit this post, you will find that I am religiously responding to people's concerns and that it has become an odd little forum People who wanted to leave comments there can try leaving them here and as long as this blog exists I will reply. It's amazing how many cases are worse than Reub's. I am rarely tough with a commentator. Like the time when a person said their dog deserved "a second chance" and would therefore bring him back home before laying him down. No. When you sign up to an animal, it's forever. Don't p...

Are Two Pups Better Than One?

Sibling adoption can work, but it takes a very special owner who has twice the time and energy to give to puppy age. These sisters, Icebox and Spaz, have dedicated owners who knew how much extra time it would take to make littermate adoption successful. I hear it all the time: “Honey, maybe we should get two! Look how much they love each other! How can we possibly divide them up? " My family and I tend to have litters of rescue puppies frequently, and when approved adopters come around to make this big decision - which one will it be? - The conversation often takes this detour. Someone sees two cute puppies cuddling or romping around and says, "Why don't we just take two?" It's a natural impulse. In fact, it was my own hope to keep littermates together when we groomed our first litter almost a decade ago. Back then, when a potential adoptive suppressed interest in two puppies, my heart was racing. Remember: Little Ben and Pretty ...

Ed and Reub: Mustangs

The day we look for wild horses on Steens Mountain is clear and cool, a perfect morning for a hike, even if we never find anything more than hoof prints in the hard, volcanic, high desert dirt. When scanning the hills, it initially looks like a herd of cattle out there: small dots of slowly moving paint in the distance. Some of them are cattle, but most of them are wild horses. We leave our dusty car on the edge of the gravel road and slowly walk towards the group. We pass a mare with a very young foal. I doubt this baby is more than a day or two old. The protective father makes sure we don't get closer. At the same time, he remains very alert to the movement of the herd on the slope. It is likely that he is an exiled young stallion who will start his own family and take care of everyone. Since nobody can comb and bathe it, it still glows like copper. They move close to each other, hide their baby in the sage brush and decide that we are not a threat. In the meantime, the herd...

Ocicat. The Ocicat was an exciting, exotic development.

Ocicats look wild, but make great pet cats with a tame and loving character! The Ocicat was an exciting, exotic development. This is one of the most unique hybrid cat breeds that has the seductive beauty of a wild cat but is a purely domestic cat. Its fur has distinct spots on a light background that extend from the ears to almost the tip of the tail. Its name Octicat is said to come from a combination of the similarity to the wild ocelot and its earlier name Accicat. The name "Accicat" came from the fact that this cat was a random hybrid combination. The first random cat with this spotted coat pattern was named Tonga and was born in the 1960s. Ms. Virginia Daly of Michigan tried hybrid crosses, mating a hybrid Abyssinian x Seal Point Siamese female with a Chocolate Point Siamese male. Tonga was a pretty little thing with an ivory-colored coat and speckles of gold. Neither the kitten's coat color nor pattern was recognized at this point, so Tonga was neutered and s...
