Knowing when to snap your yap

Wow. We got a bit of fur flying with that last blog entry. But before someone suggests I scratch Chris’ eyes out for poor poop management of his beloved cat, Squiggy, I’ll move the topic along. Thanks for all the great comments, though. Some of them really cracked me up.  And I’m still chortling over Nan-C’s stove-peeing cats – while trying not to imagine the smell. [...]

My beau insists his green-eyed cat has “issues.” As with most human/critter controversies, I suspect it’s actually about human error. But Chris insists it’s Squiggy who’s at fault.

When embracing the gratitude attitude, my critters are right at the top of my “Thank you for being a friend” list.  I am very grateful for all my animals. But there is something about my old dog’s patient acceptance of my human shortcomings that is quite humbling. I wish I knew if I make Twirley Jane feel as loved [...]

Here it is, a blog for pet lovers

Welcome to the Mail Tribune’s first pet blog, Unleashed. My name is Sanne, and I’ve been covering small towns and features for the Mail Tribune for several years. I’ve recently been reassigned to cover courts and social services. Challenging? Yes. Stressful too. But my pets are great at making me laugh, and reminding me, “This too shall pass.” There [...]
