I Am Going to Find a Home for Him!

Written by Hillary O. (orignally published here)

That is what I said 2 years ago when I started fostering a 3 week old kitten that someone had brought into the clinic. He had been found in the woods with no sign of a mother nearby a good samaritan picked him up and brought him in.
He was skinny and a little dehydrated with a sore on his forehead. We rehydrated him and started him on Kitten formula. His sore turned out to be a warble (fly larvae that burrows under the skin). Once removed the sore healed quickly.
Since he was to young to eat on his own I bottle fed him and took him home so he could get 1:00am feeding. I wouldn't name him since he was going to go to another home, but he went home with me every night. He was a feisty kitten. When ever I fed him he would just fight with the bottle. I had to trim his nails so he wouldn't completely shred my hands. It was really kind of sad he would just get so frustrated. After bottle feeding him for a couple of weeks I tried to get him to drink out of a dish or eat a little canned kitten food. He refused both. I think I bottle fed him till he was about 8 weeks old.
After I had him for 3-4 weeks I did name him "Sirus" . I still said that I was going to find a home for him, and to prove it I put up a poster and put his picture on an adoption website. I didn't have any inquiries about him. I don't know why. But I do know that I was getting more and More attatched.
I eventually started leaving him at home once I didn't have to bottle feed him during the day, but I still said I would bring him in for people to see if somebody was interested. Still no inquiries.
Needless to say Sirus still lives with me, and has found his forever home. He is my shoulder cat and will leap up on them any chance he get.

Costumes for people.

Have you decided what you are going to be for Halloween yet? Do you plan to dress up? Getting all dressed up is one of my favorite parts of the Halloween holiday. It's always fun to come up with an idea of what to do, and then to find costuming for it. This year, I think I may be a NINJA!

Why? Well, ninjas are pretty cool right now. And even though they are really cool right now, I don't think anyone else is planning to dress up like one, at least not anyone that I know. And isn't having an original costume part of the fun?

I have been looking around online and found a site with ninja costumes. Their prices are really good, even the shipping is a nice low price (2.95). The costumes come with everything that you would need to be an excellent ninja. They even have the slippers and socks!

It's too bad they don't have ninja costumes for dogs, wouldn't it be fun to dress up your pup as a ninja with you? I think it would be a lot of fun, and I bet you would win best costume at any party you went to. Yes, I think being a ninja is my costume of choice for the year!

News!

I have a new shop! The proceeds from the shop go directly to my animal rescue website. It is undergoing a major reconstruction right now, the old pages are still up of course, but there are exciting things in the works for that site. This shop is just one of the fun additions.

The products are things that I know and love, and although they aren't always going to be animal related, shopping through the links does help animal rescue. :) So, if you need to start your Christmas shopping early, I would love to have you shop through my store. I have also added the link on my sidebar.

Check it out, won't you?

Pets and Halloween

It's an importan reminder to keep an eye on your pets around Halloween. There are people out there who steal pets at this time of year for horrible reasons. Please keep a close eye on your pets, especially if they are outdoors.

On a happier note, who dresses up their pets for Halloween? There are tons of fun costumes for dogs, and it looks like there are more added every year!

Have you visited?

You may be aware of PayPerPost. Maybe not. It's not animal related, but sometimes they act a little like animals (monkeys maybe?)! Well, if you don't know what it is, it is a way for companies to advertise on blogs, and a way for bloggers to make money by posting about products, sites, and the like. The fun part is that they also have a blog, and a fairly active community of bloggers. If you haven't visted yet, you should go check it out. Not only is it a good way to raise extra money for whatever you need (for charity or for yourself), it's also a good way to find bloggers that you may not know about yet.

It's also pretty interesting from the business side of things. It's amazing what has been going on with this site, which you can read all about on the blog. It's growing like mad, and looks like it will just keep getting better and better!

College from home!

Capella University is an online college that has been around since 1993. They offer graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology. They also offer bachelor’s degrees in business and information technology.

What a neat way to get your education, from the comfort of your own home! I have always wanted to go to school online, it just seems so convient, and it would fit into any schedual. Capella has certianly been around long enough to know the best ways to offer this kind of education to their students.
