Dog & Kid

Keeping our children happy and germs free especially around our pets, sometimes becomes a head ace of most parents. This does not have to be the case

We have set out easy guides that you as a proud mom and dad can follow to keep your child save, happy and germ free:

  1. Explain to the child that your pet plays in dirt and with other animals and eats different things from humans. Because of this your child must wash his/her hands after touching, stroking or playing with your pet. Alot of parents prefer anti-bacterial soaps, but this is up to you
  2. Make sure that there is a healthy relationship between your child and your pet. If you observe that your child thats fearing your pet, or that your pet sees your child as a threat, be careful. If you do observe that your child fears the pet, try and find out why. If the pet perhaps bit the child it might be that your child was in your pet’s territory, perhaps during feeding time.
  3. If your child has been bitten by a pet, find make sure to tend to the wound immediately to prevent any infection.
  4. If you suspect that your pet feels threatened by your child, make sure that you spend enough time with your pet, and your child together. The aim of this so the pet can see that your child is part of your family.
  5. Make sure you are always in control of the situation and your pet, in a loving and caring, but assertive way. Especially if your child’s safety is at stake.
  6. Make sure that your child understands that your pet should not be played with during feeding time or when asserting his or her territory.
  7. Make sure your child does not have any allergies around your pet.

A Cat’s New Year’s Resolutions.

Monday, December 28, 2009 Posted by Animal Spirit

I found these online.

party hat cat

My human will never let me eat her pet hamster, and I am at peace with that.

I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has finished watching a horror movie.

I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium.

I must not help myself to Q-tips, and I must certainly not proceed to stuff them down the sink’s drain.

I will not eat large numbers of assorted bugs, then come home and puke them up so the humans can see that I’m getting plenty of roughage.

I will not lean way over to drink out of the tub, fall in, and then pelt right for the box of clumping cat litter. (It took FOREVER to get the stuff out of my fur.)

I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and growl at NOTHING after my human has finished watching The X-Files.

I will not use the bathtub to store live mice for late-night snacks.

I will not perch on my human’s chest in the middle of the night and stare into her eyes until she wakes up.

We will not play Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the Plains of the Serengeti over any humans’ bed while they’re trying to sleep.

Screaming at the can of food will not make it open itself.

I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside. If I forget this and bonk my head on the window and fall behind the couch in my attempt, I will not get up and do the same thing again.

I will not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.

I will not intrude on my human’s candle-lit bubble bath and singe my bottom.

I will not stick my paw into any container to see if there is something in it. If I do, I will not hiss and scratch when my human has to shave me to get the rubber cement out of my fur.

If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.

When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not necessary to check every door.

Birds do not come from the bird feeder. I will not knock it down and try to open it up to get the birds out.

The dog can see me coming when I stalk her. She can see me and will move out of the way when I pounce, letting me smash into floors and walls. That does not mean I should take it as a personal insult when my humans sit there and laugh.

I will not play “dead cat on the stairs” while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry, or else one of these days, it will really come true.

When the humans play darts, I will not leap into the air and attempt to catch them.

I will not swat my human’s head repeatedly when she’s on the family room floor trying to do sit ups.

When my human is typing at the computer, her forearms are *not* a hammock.

Computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.

I am a walking static generator. My human doesn’t need my help installing a new board in her computer.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

If you are celebrating do it in a responsible manner.
If you are driving, be careful, the roads are dangerous this time of year.
If you have pets please take extra care of their safety and happiness.
Remember that animals have sensitive hearing and that the sound of fireworks and fire crackers can be very traumatic for them.
