Bret Michaels, lead singer of rock band Poison, will launch his new product line "Pets Rock" at PetSmart this summer. Collars, beds and toys will include faux leather, flame decals and skulls. One of the dog toys is shaped like a tour bus filled with band members and roadies.

Cat Breading? This is something new to me. Just another way to "dress up" the cat I suppose.

Forest guards should not be "booked for human rights violations when they have taken action against poachers," Maharashtra Forest Minister Patangrao Kadam said Tuesday. The state also will send more rangers and jeeps into the forest, and will offer secret payments to informers who give tips about poachers and animal smugglers, he said. ~  KATY DAIGLE , Associated Press

Eight of this year's tiger poaching deaths in India occurred in Maharashtra, including one whose body was found last week chopped into pieces with its head and paws missing in Tadoba Tiger Reserve. Forest officials have also found traps in the reserve, where about 40 tigers live. ~  KATY DAIGLE , Associated Press

It is agonizing for a pet owner to leave their pet when they go away on business or on a vacation. It is difficult enough to leave them let alone finding a place where you feel comfortable leaving them.

A fairly new website called DogVacay offers a service that speaks to the heart of the pet parent. Rather than letting an unreliable neighbour, friend or family member watch them or putting them in a kennel, DogVacay can help you connect with loving homes where your dog can stay. Watch the video below and check out their website (link above)

This was sent to me by a company called Killer Infographics. I love these little fact sheets. Some where surprising to me such as 1 in 4 dog and cat owners have eaten their pets food ! There are some product links at the bottom of the infographic.  Enjoy!

Have you tried these? I can personally attest to the fact that cats do go crazy for them. My daughter bought some for her cats and recommended them to me. We have had ours for about 6 weeks now and the cats still play with them - or should I say "it", as one is missing?

Each toy contains 100% organic catnip. They are sold in pet stores and also at Amazon.com.

Evidently Queen Victoria was a devoted dog lover, owning as many as 15 different breeds throughout her life. Pomeranians seem to have had a special place in her heart. Read more: Wiki Answers

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.

Just as I love my children the same but in different ways, so do I love my cats. (Of course I love my children more)

Children will throw up everywhere, jump on your furniture, poop in their pants, and wake you in the middle of the night with a high-grade fever requiring a fast trip to the emergency room. None of this will diminish your love for them. When my son was little he put Lego in the oven unbeknownst to me and when I turned the oven on, I had quite a flaming plastic mess to deal with. He also put a GI Joe down the toilet and completely blocked it up requiring a plumber's service.

This was sent to me by Pet Care Rx. I have to admit I didn't know much about the topic.  Nanny's only experience with this is that two of the dogs I walk are "designer dogs". One is a Shi-poo and the other is a Yorkiepoo. The "infographic"  below contains some comprehensive information. Wasn't it nice of them to create something that matches my blog? (wink)

I have posted before about Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome because my little boy cat has it. I found this video on You Tube (not Nanny's cat) and while it is heartbreaking to watch, I thought it was important to post because it may be helpful to someone who is wondering what is going with their cat but doesn't have a diagnosis. Nanny waited two years before being able to give a name to this bizarre behaviour.

Please share if your cat has FHS or if you know someone who does.

Love,
Nanny
