• My little Bear-Bear - by Rebecca - (Wed, Aug 29 2007)
  My little Bear-Bear died yesterday (07-30-07) and laid to rest. Bear-Bear was only 28 days old and full of life. At least that is what I thought. I adopted him into the family when the mother would not take care of him and his two other siblings at the precious age of three weeks. I was told that they were weaned at that age since they were link bobcats. [more..]

  For those like me who don’t know - Fleas can kill a cat. Evidently the fleas suck the blood which makes the cat anemic, then their little hearts have to work harder to pump what blood is left, which causes heart failure. [more..]

  On Mother’s day my 10 year old dachshund began to vomit. He became very lethargic. Due to the fact that it was mother’s day I did not want to bother my local vet. So I took my him to a 24 hour emergency care facility in WI. The staff at the facility was very caring and treated my dog and me like we were valued. During my dog’s evaluation I was told he had a heart murmur of 4 on a scale from 1 to 6. [more..]
