Pawloween
T'is the season of torment and torture. By that, I mean it’s Halloween. Being a parent I see posts every year about ideas for “family” costumes.

Best Teething Toys For Puppies
Congrats on your new puppy! Being a pet parent is one of the most joyful things you will get to experience. BUT along with those snuggles and wagging tails, comes the frustrating stage where they want to chew everything...and I do mean EVERYTHING. They want to bite your ankles, your fingers and your favorite shoes. Like human babies, puppies go through a teething stage and it can be quite painful for them (and you of course) so they try to relieve the pain by chewing.

Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

Your cute and cuddly kitten is going to grow up into a cat that may prefer to spend time outdoors (than beside you on the couch). Your little puppy may become over fifty pounds, so it isn't going to be cute when he jumps on you at that size. In fact, he could seriously hurt you!

A Parrot in A Poncho
One time my wife and I were at a party with some friends just before Halloween and I noticed they had all these bottles of Coronas on each of the tables with small ponchos on them for decoration. I had a hunch that one of these might be the perfect size for my Eclectus Male Parrot name Oiseau so I snagged one just for him to try on and it was a perfect fit!

White Tiger
The white leopard (or leopard with blood) is a leucistic pigmentation of the Bengal tiger and the Siberian tiger, a cross between the two, which was occasionally reported in the Indian federal states of Bihar, Odisha, and Sunderban in the former state of Rewa. What we now call the royal white leopard is, in effect, a genetic mutation caused by a genetic predisposition. Experts estimate that 1 in 10,000 tigers are whitened in the wild. As a result of this gene, a feature appears on the structure that controls the color of the Bengal white leopard coat - even though it has the color of a white coat and blue eyes.
