Man Cat Monday - Scratching Post

A man cat needs to keep hiz claws sharp by yoosing a good scratching post freekwently.

Yu can see ware Grandpaw had to replace part of the rope (again) cuz it got all shredded up and then it broked. This is whut it looked like afore he fixed it.

Sumtimes I sit on TOP of the scratching post and scratch frum above. This makes it more interesting and rekwires praktice. No othur poodin duz it like that. (The lady tries to get a pikchur of me doing this but by the time she gets her flashy box, I'm dun.)

Aloha to Pluto

I'm sorry to have to report that on Monday, we had to help Pluto to the Rainbow Bridge. Back in March, we discovered a lump on his neck below his ear and a biopsy showed that it was cancer. Due to his advanced age of 15, the vet didn't think he would respond to chemotherapy very well and removing the lump would be very difficult since they would have to remove part of his jawbone too. So we decided to let him live with the cancer and try to keep him as happy as possible. He didn't seem to be in pain except for his usual stiffness from the arthritis but on his last trip to the beach, he had to be carried down to the water since he couldn't make it on his own. And when he stopped eating and drinking and couldn't stand up anymore, we decided that he was telling us that he was ready to join Suzy at the Rainbow Bridge. His ashes will join Suzy's at the beach that they loved so much.

(This picture was taken last Summer during one of their visits to the beach.)

He was a great dog and he lived a long and happy life. Goodbye, gentle Pluto. You will be missed!

Pluto's Secret Paws

Pumpkin's Momma here: Suzy was supposed to be Sadie's Secret Paws but since she went to the Bridge, it was sent to Pluto instead. He received liver treats, squeaky toys, and a very patriotic bandana.

He's sharing the treats with Benson, the new woofie, and Benson has stolen all of the toys.

At least Pluto got to wear the bandana!

Sadie's Mom made a very nice memorial for Suzy. Thank you Sadie and Mom Linda!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Fourth of July celebration!

Quincy's Secret Paws

My Secret Paws box arrived!

Daphne and Chloe at Purrchance to Dream was Tiger's Secret Paws and in return, I'm Daphne and Chloe's Secret Paws. How about that? Tiger was very interested in the contents of my box since he could probably smell Daphne and Chloe on it.

I got a WUNDERFUL chew toy, which I've been chewing on, and dried cherries from their home state of Michigan.

The Lady gave me some of the cherries and I've been munching on them. They're very good. The Lady tried some too and she agrees. Thank you Daphne and Chloe for my Secret Paws!
