Massage Kitten's Paws Before Holiday Pictures
By Robyn
I love taking seasonal photos of our pets. I have noticed a nice foot massage is great to calm my kittens and cats before a photo session. Some of them don't enjoy it, right away, but most of our ten cats do.
Peanut Butter Dog Cookies as Gifts
By Donna
I wanted to make some tasty and fun dog treats for my daughter's dog and to sell at our upcoming cookie sale at our library; so I created these! They are fun and easy to make and I really like the added colors for the Christmas holiday.

I keep an old turkey baster next to my little fish bowl. Every few days I will use it to suck out some water and the dirts accumulated on the bottom of the tank and feed my plants.
Tips for Keeping Ferrets as Pets
By EllenB
The ferret was domesticated several thousand years ago to help hunters 'ferret out' rabbits and small rodents from their underground lairs. They are the third most popular companion animal behind dogs and cats.
By Annie Rios Hill
I had 3 doggies at one time, and getting them winter coats was a bit costly. So at an after-Halloween costume sale, I scored big and saved lots. I purchased several pet/dog costumes for $1.00 to $3.00 each.

Chewey our cat loves to dress up for the holidays. She's dressed in a Santa hat and cloak. I made her outfit from scraps of red and white felt and some white yarn.

Winston, our 13 year young Springer Spaniel loves our walks. However the walks are much slower, a bit shorter and he does take a break occasionally.
Making a Big Litterbox from a Storage Container
By Karen
We made this litterbox out of a $4.00 tub. We used a dremel to cut the hole, It is bigger than the normal box and easier to open and clean.
Socializing your dog doesn't mean bringing Fido to a tea party with the ladies... it means being a responsible pet owner and teaching your dog to be calm and confident in any situation.
