This is Mitzi our new Kitten ( new as of September 08) She is a bit bigger now but this pic is my fave of her. I shall never get rid of her for anything... She is part of the family, I be lost without a cat. I adore cats from a young age, we had a cat who lived to 21 once.







Wow, 21? That's a long time

Wow - heartbreaking story, but truly incredible that the little male pup made it.  He is really pretty and I bet after going through all of that you are seriously bonded to him now big time! 

We are all he knows, and the experience was life changing us, life saving for him... we have 4 cats as well... two of them love DUKE and two hate him... never a dull moment... When we got Katie his life was complete she has him wrapped around her little toe... if he crosses any line she chews him up and he smiles all the way through it... His mouth is as soft as a retriever's...and he is gentle as a lamb, as the pup he is, he is still an opportunist. and with his teeth still growing he will chew on anything. He can chew through a 1/2" hemp rope in 5 seconds yet he knows what NO means and he has tons of bones and chews to munch on all the time which keeps his teething under control.

Our cats and pups are fed and cared for, no matter what... they are family!

Wow, 21? That's a long time

When I was little we moved into this house back in 1978, my sister was only 11 months old at the time. And we got the kitten by the old occupiers Son as he wanted to give kittens for free and thought of us. So we had a new home with a new cat lol. She died in on my Mums birthday in the March of 1999. So yeah she was 21 at the time. I will get a picture of her up later.

The pet bubble is just another example of people living beyond their means.  I have two dogs.  I make enough and budget every month so that they are fed and well taken care of.  I mean are people that strapped that they can't afford a 20lb bag of 20.00 dog food a month?  Doesn't make any sense to me.  Vet bills aside dogs are not that expensive.

It has a lot to do with HOW people are living beyond their means... In the case of most people today, this living beyond their means has to do with being one of the over 250,000 or more people who have lost high-paying jobs over the last half year... People who could afford their homes, and their lifestyle 6 months ago... but now they are over extended in credit as they looked for new comparable employment but found nothing... and that bubble still grows and this includes pets...

Let's face it, we are all, including you, one job and two paychecks from... how do you put it living beyond our means.

Actually, at this time of year, you are hearing not a fight over a female, since coyotes mate for life or until one or the other is killed and don't mate til early February... This time of the year you are hearing mom and dad sending this year's puppies out on their own... it usually occurs in late October and November. Sometimes the young ones try to come back home and mom and dad get a little irate and send them packing... this is what you are hearing... 2 coyotes can set up a den and clatter that sounds like a dozen... but it is only two....

Any time you see a grouping of coyotes, it is always a family... you will see mom and dad and anywhere from two to six surviving pups up until this time of the year when the parents send them out on their own... on average, one in three of the pups will survive their first two years. During this time they hone their hunting and survival skills... they are incredibly intelligent and their parents spend virtually all of their time teaching them until they are sent out on their own at about eight months of age.

Coyotes mate in late January early February, the females usually wait until their second year... and depending upon the availability of rodents, rabbits, winter killed carrion, they will have anywhere from two to ten puppies...

The population demographic of free roaming coyotes in the open areas of the high plains and mountains of the West, from studies done over the last three decades by Kansas State University, illustrates that the number of male coyotes is 2/3 that of the female population, so the fighting over women is not likely.  Though young coyotes pretty much remain solitary if they survive their first winter until they encounter a young female, puppies of the same family will sometimes stay together or in close proximity during the first winter and disperse in the spring...

The coyote basic unit is the family, a mated pair will usually produce offspring every two years on average... unlike wolves who will pack together under a strong male and female with as many as 20 members with the power struggles and position changing by mating challenges... many wolf pack members are related but many are not, usually these struggles end in the death of a wolf pack member so there is little in the way of dispersion it is a top-down pack structure, that will over time raise the number in the pack, under the control of 2 members, rather than a family structure, that educates and disperses as is the case with the coyote.

One of the reasons why coyote's survive and proliferate like they do, unlike wolves who need subsidies, is because they are extremely wary of human interaction... they are well taught and this is also an inborn instinct...The family structure instructs and produces individuals that are self reliant, not reliant on a pack structure.   If you see one of them, and he see that you see him, by the time you get out of your car or have opened up the lens cap on your camera, that coyote is halfway to the next county... they are human shy, and extremely family-oriented. They make nurturing parents both the male and the female, who instill self reliance and survival in their young.

That's pretty interesting... and I think it points to the absolute diversity of pets, Duke digs roots and likes onions... just like people the thing that distinguishes us are our differences, one thing our pets have in common however, our pets, especially the dogs, can sense unerringly the good from the bad... the fearful from the loving... there is no doubt that the New World Order wishes to separate us, not only from our children, but from our pets as well.

Onions JT?  My vet says they ruin a dog's blood and enough will kill them -a few days later.  Until I heard that, my dog loved beef & onions as a treat.

Katie won't eat onions... but Duke will dig them right out of the ground and munch down. I think it is a natural thing for him, being an omnivore and having to vary his diet depending upon the availability of game in the wild, he would naturally supplement with roots, grasses, berries, bugs, and shrubs...

Onions cleanse the blood in humans... we are herbivorous omnivores... where dogs are carnivorous omnivores... I think your vet may be wrong here... Duke won't eat potatoes, but he will eat carrots... all of which are root vegetables... Wild rice grows along the banks of the drainage canal behind our house and dangle through the fence. He munched on that when the rice forms the still soft kernals, all the time... he likes wild rice. Cheese is a favorite, especially Goat cheese. But his favorite food is a plate of scrambled eggs... he loves his eggies...

As I said above this little fellow I found abandoned at the side of a river bank,I'm guessing it was a stray being move by this mother and it was only 3 days old but the vet bills we expensive but you just couldn't leave something so helpless to fend for itself.,in such a condition



This was the first day I found him



Then he developed these abscess and didn't hold out much hope for him


This is him about 5 minutes ago


Now he has taken over the house  Cheesy

Ah pets, aren't they wonderful?  Some people are cat people and some people are dog people, I just love them all.  5 years ago I took home a starving puppy in the middle of the cold winter, several months later I had to find him a home, he is happy and healthy to this day, and I see him every couple of months. Two years ago I took home another hungry puppy, he was a pain, but we worked and worked with him, and he turned out to be a most amazing dog, he disappeared on the first day of hunting season this year, it was devastating, I walked for miles looking for him, I think he may have been so charming that someone (there are a lot of non locals here during hunting season) took him home, I don't even want to think of the alternative.
I could post a picture of him, but it would break your heart, I just hope that our little guy is alive and well in another home. We also have another dog, most devoted and a wonderful member of the family, and two cats who are also very loved, plus three very fat goldfish, the largest is about 9" long, and of course the hens. Our pets, and of course our children should all be appreciated to the fullest while we have them.
