The Purrfect Nanny & Purrfect Pet Health Blog

Ok, here it comes. When I was reading several professional opinions about cats I learned (what was new to me) that cats are supposed to prefer to be the only pet in a household.

How about your cat?

My cat would go crazy without a buddy. While growing up and living for 13 years with his girl friend Velvet, my oriental shorthair boy Diablo now adopted ouf dogs as best friends after Velvet passed. Our little Jack Russell Terrier Chico is the new love of his life.

Now tell me, who is right? The cat professionals or my cat?

Will it ever stop?  Again a dog fighting ring was busted in Atlanta.

 As to read in My Fox Atlanta Cobb County authorities seized drugs, 16 pit bulls and arrested seven people Tuesday stemming from a complaint from the Humane Society of the United States.

Since we moved to Dacula last year we had been on several cat/dog events but I could not find as many as in the Acworth/Kennesaw/Marietta area where we lived before. Where do most of the Gwinnett county pet events happen? I would love to go and see some dog shows close to home. If you know about some events in Dacula or close by Lawrenceville and Duluth let us know.

 I love those little wheelchairs. It is so great that we can help dogs nowadays to overcome a huge disability while years ago there would have not been any hope for them. Would you use a wheelchair for your dog? I certainly would.Read more about this stunning  product at Atlanta Journal Constitution.

 Wow, I’m so glad that the storm missed us yesterday and the day before. Not only was I concerned about the wellbeing of my own family and our pets I was also wondering if all our clients pets made it safely trough the storm? Some of our clients have  responded to my e-mail where I included a disaster preparation plan for pet owners and I was glad to hear that at least those made it well without storm damage. How about you? Did you experience difficulties during those extreme weather conditions?

Finally, I’ve made it back to the blog sport!

It has been a while that you have heard from me.

The good news is that we moved our BLOG over to The Purrfect Nanny and more people will be able to talk to us now.

Watch out for latest news and products and funny tales from your pet sitters.

Useful guidelines for riding in this heat:

From an article about the death Saturday night of a horse in a show in Tennessee:

Add air temperature and relative humidity and subtract wind speed if your total adds up to 180 or above don’t ride, if it is 130-170 use caution, 130 or below ride! Continue Reading »

Americans spend an astonishing $41 billion a year on their furry friends

If there’s still any doubt whether the pampering of pets is getting out of hand, the debate should be settled once and for all by Neuticles, a patented testicular implant that sells for up to $919 a pair. The idea, says inventor Gregg A. Miller, is to “let people restore their pets to anatomical preciseness” after neutering, thereby allowing them to retain their natural look and self-esteem. “People thought I was crazy when I started 13 years ago,” says the Oak Grove (Mo.) entrepreneur. But he has since sold more than 240,000 pairs (a few of which went on prairie dogs, water buffalo, and monkeys). “Neutering is creepy. But with Neuticles, it’s like nothing has changed.” Nothing, except there’s a fake body part where a real one used to be. Continue Reading »
