Crow and Kitten are Friends

[Video]

I found this video clip while looking through some old VHS tapes I had laying around. This was recorded by my mother around 1999/2000; I'm glad she had the blank tape ready to go in the recorder when the show "Miracle Pets" came on.

If anyone knows the current situation of these two friends, please post, we're all curious.

You might notice at 2:16 she dials the typical "555" number but then the scene switches to the front of the vet clinic. From the video clip, it's easy to see the phone number of the clinic on the sign in front and then google the rest:

Meker Veterinary Clinic
649 Washington St
South Attleboro, MA 02703

(508) 399-8984

I've noticed someone already copied this video from me and uploaded it like they were the ones who recorded and edited it. Sad that people need to do that.

clipper's remarks: Natural foods are also good for your pet.

Clip Source: articles.mercola.com

All of our animal companions -- reptile, avian, rodent, equine, canine or feline -- benefit from eating diets natural to their species, whether raw or home-cooked.

Our pet food company received hundreds of letters each year from veterinarians using fresh food diets, breeders reporting multi-generational improvement and very happy customers whose experience confirmed our own. They saw thinner, fitter animals with cleaner teeth, less aches and pains, reduction or elimination of “allergic” symptoms, reduced flea problems and happier dispositions after switching to fresh food.

We know of dozens of animals, close to death when we met them, living far past predicted survival times with excellent quality of life on fresh food diets.

How to Recognize Pet Poisoning Symptoms

Unfortunately, most of our pets don't speak our language and that can make it difficult to provide the care that we would like them to have at times. No time is more serious than a time of illness and possibly one of the more serious is poisoning.

When dealing with some varieties of poisoning time is essential in getting your pet the care that may make the difference between lasting harm and minor discomfort. We'll discuss a number of different warning signs that you can be vigilant for to alert you that what is wrong may be poisoning.

Mouth

Most commonly the mouth is the entry-way for any form of poison that you pet may come in contact with. Thankfully the warning signs are usually rather noticeable and easy to identify. The first is simply excess saliva. If your pet is drooling more than usual or excessively then you may want to take a closer look at them. If think you recognize any of these symptoms please go ahead and verify the others and use your head

Where Do Pets Come From ?

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to the burning question about where our pets came from.

Adam said,

"Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. "Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said,

"No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said,

"Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom, and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said,

"No problem! Because

BY THE BOOK

As chaplain in a university residence hall, I am supposed to uphold all of the school rules, which include a ban on pets. That changed when a kitten adopted me.

The freshmen in my dorm kept my secret. They covered for me by calling my kitten "the Book," since I had so many in my room.

One morning I was leaving the dorm with the kitten in a carrier. A student stopped me and asked, "Where are you taking the Book?"

I explained that I was taking the kitten to the vet. "She's getting neutered today," I told him.

"Hmmm," the student responded, "no sequels."

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

Have (2) legs will walk - Faith the dog!

An amazing dog.

Faith is an incredible dog. She was born just before Christmas in 2002, and we were lucky enough to have her in our family just 3 short weeks later. She was born to a mother dog, believed to be nearly full blooded chow, along with several other siblings. Faith wasn't the only puppy born with deformities, but because "Princess", her mother, was not our dog, we are not sure of the exact number of puppies she gave birth to. It is certain, however, that Faith was the only puppy with deformities to live.

Faith was rescued by my son Reuben on January 21, 2003, when he and his friend Johnny, the owner of Princess, jumped over the fence of the flea market area that Princess was raised to guard. Princess isn't exactly the mothering kind. She was literally terminating Faith's life because she knew instinctively that Faith was unable to battle the other puppies for a place to feed.

Daily Thoughts From Dogs and Cats

From a Dog's Diary:

8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing!

9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing!

9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing!

11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary:

Day 683 of my captivity:

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates of what I am capable. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!

Pets Enjoy Healing Power of Music

Alianna Boone is one of those musicians.

“The structure of the harp is considered to be the most healing instruments next to human voice,” said Boone, an Oregonian who plays for ill family pets and produced a CD "Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast."

While anecdotal reports abound, Boone conducted one of the few studies on harp music’s effect on animals. In 2000, she performed for recently hospitalized canines at a Florida veterinary clinic. The hour-long sessions immediately began to lower heart rate, anxiety, and respiration in many cases, she said.

Cow control

Dogs aren’t the only animals benefiting from the good vibrations.

Cassie, a black and white cow, lives at the Maple Farm Sanctuary in Mendon, Mass., with about 80 other unwanted livestock. She arrived there last year after jumping a 7-foot-high fence to escape from a slaughter house, said volunteer Tracie Russell.

Both wild and domestic animals can benefit from music therapy but not all of them respond to it.

Ten Apartment Pets That Can Be Better Than Cats and Dogs

By: admin Posted: Fri, 12/21/2007 - 08:13

Generally all apartments that accept pets allow solely cats and small dogs. These animals, however generally wreak havoc on apartments. Following are animals that spend most of their time caged but may be more attractive to landlords than dogs that dig and cats that scratch. Perhaps your perfect pet is within.

1. Sugar Gliders

2. Chinchillas

3. Ferrets

4. Snakes

5. Guinea Pigs

6. Rats

The Others

(7) Birds, (8) frogs / turtles, (9) hamsters, and (10) fish are just a few

Prior to purchasing any pet perform your research and assess the size of your apartment with the animal's needs. Purchasing a pet that is too large or too noisy for your apartment will be a disaster to you and the pet. Once your research is complete and you have selected the right pet, you and your pet will be happy for many years to come!

Jessica the Hippo -- The Family Pet ?

Amazing Alternative Pet -- a Hippo

[Video]

The hippo kills more humans in Africa than any other wild mammal, but you’d never know it from watching this video.

Jessica, the hippo, has taken to a family in South Africa, where she sleeps with the dogs, helps herself to snacks in the kitchen, and gets a nightly massage before heading off to bed.

Having a pet is actually great for your health. Owning a dog, for instance, has been shown to have a significant impact on survival rates in heart attack victims and keep your blood pressure levels in a healthy range.

Owning a pet is also known to:

Reduce the risk of asthma in children exposed to pet allergens during the first year of life

Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease

I can’t say I’d recommend a hippo as the ideal family pet, but you can certainly see from the family’s faces in this video that they’re thrilled to have Jessica! See this family’s hippo “daughter,” as they call her, for yourself by watching the video. Unbelievable!

New Evidence that Second-hand Smoke Harms Pets

Of all the compelling reasons to quit smoking, this one should make pet lovers sit up and take notice: there's ample scientific evidence to suggest that secondhand cigarette smoke can cause cancer in companion animals.

And your furry friends don't just inhale smoke; the smoke particles are also trapped in their fur and ingested when they groom themselves with their tongues. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that dogs in smoking households had a 60 percent greater risk of lung cancer; a different study published in the same journal showed that long-nosed dogs, such as collies or greyhounds, were twice as likely to develop nasal cancer if they lived with smokers.
