Maryam and Bruce have already experienced a “special needs” animal with their cat, Louie. At only 10 months old Louie was in the process of having half of his back right leg amputated while his back left leg was broken and in a cast. This patience paid off and in 2010 Daisy inspired the children’s story, “What about Daisy?”

The lake consists of a large body of open water, a belt of tall yellow grass (where a big orange cat can blend and disappear if it chooses so) and, all around it, thick forests of predominantly teak, interspersed with thickets of bamboo. As our Gypsy comes to a halt, one Oriental Honey Buzzard is investigating the new arrivals.

You love your pet, right? Vomiting and diarrhea: Even responsible pet owners overlook this occasionally because it is such a common occurrence in dogs and cats. No need to panic every time kitty cat scratches herself, but if it becomes excessive, she may be suffering from a skin disease or infection. Of course you do.

The dog-loving owners of the property in Julian where he sought refuge rushed him to the local veterinarian, who informed them that if his leg was amputated, he could live as an indoor cat. Once gregarious and outgoing, she withdrew from her family and friends, from everyone except her pet cats. Would they help?

She has a new book out (which I am reading right now) called One Good Dog. Enjoy the guest post (thanks Susan): As I write this, my black cat, Sasha, is going through her pantomime, telling me that she either wants to go out, or she wants to eat. My youngest daughter spotted the exceedingly shy black cat and wanted her.

A massage would really hit the spot right about now, wouldn’t it? After the benefits became more widely known, the practice spread to dogs, cats and other household pets.

Shift-It Tip: If you’re set on a purebred dog or cat, buy one from a rescue association instead of getting a pedigree from a breeder. Instead of buying toys, you can delight dogs and cats with stuff you already own. It can be preorded right now via Amazon, and should be hitting shelves in bookstores on March 9th.

When I agreed to read and review Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's THE DOG WHO COULDN'T STOP LOVING (Harper 2010), the regal Charles Hobson Booger, III was still with us.

Over the winter, the universe lost four whooping cranes to what appears to be recreational shooting: three gunned down together in Georgia on December 30, 2010, and another in Alabama on January 28, 2011. That’s what you do with other game, right? But I do think this issue of hunting sandhill cranes goes beyond the right to hunt.

One important reason is the wide discrepancy in mid-winter count survey numbers—in Tennessee those figures were 44,000 counted in 2010 versus only 12,000 counted in 2011. Ohio has tracked two families of their state-endangered breeding sandhill cranes and found them to have wintered over in Tennessee in 2010. Wicked, right?
