If My Dog Could Talk: New I See Me Book

If My Dog Could Talk

When I received the request to review If My Dog Could Talk from I See Me, we had just adopted Duke a few days before this. You see, our dog Toby, died unexpectedly after eating a sample of a well known dog food. We were devastated. We knew we needed another dog because life is too empty without a dog. This book is bittersweet for us because it celebrates our new life with Duke, but the end of the book has a sweet poem that reminds me of Toby.

I want Duke to have a good long life, and I love that we have this book to commemorate him. It is so cute and funny. You’ll be able to choose up to 4 people’s names to include in the book and a dedication as well. You’ll be able to choose the type of dog that most closely resembles your furry friend.

A Brief Reminder: Pets Really Are People Too

Here’s a Brief Reminder That Pets Really Are People Too

Can we agree to stop using the term pet ownership? You can no more own a pet than you can own a child. You can bring a child into your life. You can take responsibility for a child. You can befriend a child. But you can never own one, nor should you want to.

So why should it be any different for pets? We pet parents often say that pets are people too. But we forget how true that sentiment is, using it instead as a cutesy throwaway line that expresses a general affection for pets. But it is so much more than that. Some of the worst animal atrocities occur when we forget about the personhood of animals.

In 2011, almost 46,000 pets were abandoned. This happens when we fail to consider the true task of pet parenthood. When we think of it as ownership, then pets are property to be discarded when inconvenient. When parenthood is in view, the responsibility and relationship become clearer.

Here is a brief reminder of some of the ways that pets really are people too:

“Oh, mom, you love me so much!” I’m sure that Indiana Jones is thinking that. He is a camera hog. I didn’t even have to coax him over for this picture. Whenever I have the camera out, he has to be in the pictures! It works out nicely for pictures I want him to be in, but not so much for others! Oh well, at least he is cute. His brother, Sammy, never wants to be in the pictures, but he does appreciate the toys. The “foster” kitty Boo Boo, who may or may not be leaving at the end of the month depending on my nephew, is crazy about the treats!

Cats. They’re as bad as kids when it comes to getting bored with their cat toys…and losing them under the couch. They also love getting new toys, just like kids do. First, they have to smell them. “Is this going to bite me?” After they figure out that it is safe, they touch … Read more...

You may be wondering how can litter be pretty? Well, PrettyLitter is a new kind of cat litter. Rather than being a clumping litter, it has highly absorbent crystals that absorb the moisture, trap the smell and eliminates the urine. Pretty, right? The only scooping you have to do for the month is any poo your kitty has.

I’ve been using this litter for about two weeks and love it! I was skeptical because I’ve been using a clumping litter forever! I always figured the clumps were good because that meant I was scooping out the urine. Wrong. I was wasting litter, and it still smelled! Since PrettyLitter doesn’t clump, a bag lasts you an entire month. You’ll need one bag per cat or per litter box. If you order 3 bags a month, you’ll get one bag free!

When I got the bags, I was surprised at how light they were. I also couldn’t see how that small amount was going to be enough! But like I said, … Read more...
