Horsekeeping and training, pets and art by Connie Moses
Scooter loves a good belly scratch, is the most laid back cat I’ve ever had. Usually he’s in a lap when he does this!
Scooter, orange tabby aka “Tubby,” “Scoots,” Cootsy,” “Cooter,” “my Precious”– you get the idea...
Believe it or not, he is on a continual diet. I got him down to a decent weight recently but he pumped himself back up again when our son Ezra was feeding him for a while. He steals Vijay’s food and even Peaches’ food.
Video from youTube, just too cute not to post…
Really nice editing and mixing too! by theCatDiaries
These were going around in Emails… just so cute I had to post them!!!
young cat, young bird… the innocence of babes
Has anyone else besides me heard that orange cats (males?) have the sweetest dispositions? I have an orange tabby and he’s the most laid back and affectionate kitty I’ve ever had, in my whole life of keeping cats… He loves belly rubs, get under the bedcovers at night, lies on his back in the floor, wants to climb onto your shoulder and be carried around upside down cradled in your arms… (Scooter, aka Scootch, Cootie, Tubby, Cooter, Scoot Scoot– named from Boot Scoot Boogie, he has white boots)
And daughter Em has a real nice orange male cat too, Sidney.
WOW!!!
But I just don’t think even Scooter would be quite so laid back with a bird around. This is amazing!
[I still miss my budgie, Sweet Petite, aka Sweet, Petie, Sweetie Pie, Petie Bird, Pretty Pete... he could say all those names and more, had about 30 words in his vocabulary-- he was just the color of this one in the pictures. 11 years with us.]
This has been around a few times, but still brings a smile! (Thanks to SC)
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in
the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your
food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall
faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about
this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your
comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It
is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the
fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and
having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but
sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some
miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under
the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I
entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years — canine or feline
attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt. I
cannot stress this enough!
And, to pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That’s why they call it “fur”niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who
is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.
Remember– Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don’t ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don’t hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don’t smoke or drink
8. Don’t have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don’t want to wear your clothes
10. Don’t need a gazillion dollars for college, and…
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children
Interesting…
and WOW!! Give these kitties a rubber ducky!

Actually TWO deer, in this AWESOME photo sent in by HorseGal. This is QUITE the photo, my kudos to the photographer!
Says HG: Hope you can all see this. It’s a friend’s house in Chester, MA (not too far from my town). Pretty cool! And if you look really close, you can see the top of another deer’s head just to the left, thru the rungs of the deck.
THANK YOU HorseGal!!!
OK, I admit I’m spreading pix which I received as an Email Forward, but these are cute and amazing regardless! Read here what Snopes.com has to say about the rumor circulating with these pictures.
According to Snopes and the Animal Welfare Institute, these pix were taken at a zoo in Thailand in 2004, presented as part of their carnival-like exhibits. The zoo itself has been investigated for some shady practices…
Thanks once again to JDTP4E–

What funny and unusual things has your pet done? Why is your favorite animal so remarkable? What makes your pet happy, and how does he make YOU happy? Have you taken special photos or done artworks of your pet or horse? WE’D LOVE TO SEE THEM!
Please send, and I will feature your pictures and publish your stories and pet experiences, and Email back to notify you when yours are published. I can link to your website or blog if I like it and it’s family-friendly. (Your email will not be given out, nor will I publish any full names.)

Worth repeating [discussed here before in March and April, search on recall] is the list of dog food recalls and cat food recalls from the National Pet Foundation. On their site you can sign up to receive email alerts within-the-hour of new recalls as they are announced.
Their June 6 bulletin implies that salmonella has been found in Ol’ Roy pet foods sold by Wal-Mart, and possibly acetaminophen in others.
Thanks again to Jan S.
