    Meet Harley!

    I saw this ad for a free guinea pig on our local online classifieds. I was a little concerned that he was free and with all the stupid people out there you never know what could happen to him so I called right away and picked him up in the evening. When I picked him up the pig's home was a...

    Veg*n Help with Thai Food

    I'm going to a concert on Monday and before the concert we're going to a Thai restaurant. I've never had Thai food before and was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of vegetarian dishes that I can order? Or stuff that looks vegetarian but isn't?

    I have brainwashed my husband...in a good way

    I'm usually the one that is begging and pleading to take in abandoned animals, but the other day I pick up my husband from work and he's carrying a box with holes in it. I was a little nervous when he told me to look but I peered in one of the holes and saw a fuzzy little kitten bum. He was...

    And one more makes three...

    I went shopping today with my mom and I always check the message board in the pet store where I shop. Not because I'm looking for another pet but, you know, I just like looking. So today there was an add for a free guinea pig. I couldn't resist calling and the lady on the phone was super...

    I couldn't say no.

    I was talking to a guy at work about a type of envelopes called CAT envelopes and he said, "speaking of cats do you want another one?" I said no because I have a full house already, we just took in a drop off dog so we're full. Then he explained that the cat had an appointment in two days to...

    How'd she get lice?

    So I was weighing the pigs and checking them over and I noticed Zinnia had lice. Well, my experience has been that when my pigs have lice there probably is something even worse wrong so I checked her all over very throughly and found a lump under her chin. I took her to the vet today thinking...

    A third dog....hmmm

    So I come home from work yesterday to find a message on my answer machine about a cute puppy needing help. Naturally I couldn't resist, so I head out to my parents to check it out and come home with a third dog. My parent's neighbors found this little guy wandering in a field yesterday and...

    And you thought your trip to the dentist was scary...

    My mom and dad have a little Chinese Crested dog that they adopted a little over a year ago named Pumba. He is a spoiled little thing and my parents adore him. Cresties are a high maintenance dog and one issue is their teeth. They have very soft teeth that can crack or crumble very easily so...

    Cat advise please

    I know there are quite a few members that are cat people so I figured I'd ask for some cat advise. See, we live in the country and it is quite common for town people to drop off cats at a country yard without asking, thinking that they'll just eat mice and be barn cats. It's sad, lazy and...

    Garden theme

    So, I've come up with themes for all the changes of fleece I have for the girl's cage and I want to sew accessories that reflect each theme. The first one I started on was the garden theme and came up with the beehive hidey. (please ignore the little welcome poop at the door) Its a little...

    Christmas cage accessories

    I already posted these on crafster but I thought maybe it would give some crafty people here some ideas too. Okay so first I made a wreath bed. The first thing Zinnea did was pee on it and run away, but now they love it. I'm going to have to make them a few non Christmas themed ones after the...

    Cosmo, I miss you!

    On Saturday evening my sweet little Cosmo passed on. It was totally unexspected as he had polished off his veggies and a big pile of hay in the morning and was snacking on more hay and napping in his favorite spot like the little king he was all afternoon. He seemed so normal. I left to...

    Meet Cosmo!

    I would like everyone to meet Cosmo! My husband's friends happened to come over to our house for a bonfire the other day and one of the guy's girlfriend went inside to use the bathroom and came across the pig's cage. I happened to be in the room so she mentioned to me she had a guinea pig too so...

    I'd like to crop my brother-in-laws ears...

    I'm so mad I can't fall asleep. Today I went to my inlaw's for a nice birthday dinner. My sister-in-law tells me that they're planning to get a puppy. She has never ever wanted a dog in the house and her husband was the one who always wanted a dog so bad. So as we're sort of talking about...

    Fleece and comforter bedding

    I was getting tired of laying out towels and fleece that wouldn't fit right. I also liked the idea some members had of having batting under the fleece but I like to change my fleece all the time and couldn't find good batting to use that was cheap. So I was brainstorming with my mom the other...

    Flower Hammock

    The weather has been so hot lately, so I've been on a crafting craze to pass the time stuck inside. One of my projects has been redecorating the girl's cage so that it looks more girly. I thought I'd share my first girly accessory, a flower hammock. My girls LOVE hammocks and this one is...

    Benny's horrible April

    A while back I brought in my rabbit, Benny, to the vet because I noticed he was behaving oddly. I couldn't pin point what was wrong but I knew something was bothering him. So she looked at him and thought that it was just a hairball, gave him hairball stuff, fluids and kept him overnight. I...

    New puppy..What breed?

    For all you dog people out there: We adopted a new puppy last week, she's only 9 weeks old. She was from an accidental litter. Her mom is a poodle shitzu cross but her dad is unknown. Any ideas what her father could be? I'm thinking Norwegian elkhound because its a popular breed in this area...

    How could they?

    I am so frustrated I don't know why nobody gets it. A co-worker of mine brought in one of her mom's 6-week old puppies. Her mom has a Parson Russell Terrier who she has bred in the past. The first litter they had they had homes for all the puppies but everyone backed out at the last minute...
