Wednesday Pet Roundup

Hi and welcome to Wednesday Pet Roundup!

* From the Associated Press, the new Journal on Animal Ethics discourages using the term "pets" and suggests "companion animal," stating that "pets" belittles our relationship with animals. What do you think?

* New television show: EW.com reports on "My Cat from Hell." (What would the Journal on Animal Ethics think of that title?)

* In a public statement to CNET in response to opposition about the Android dog fighting app where players feed, train and fight their virtual dog against other players, Kage Games says that they don't condone violence against animals or humans, and the game is a "satire" and even educational. Instead, check out the PETA iphone app with real ways to help animals.

* Update on Patrick, the miracle pit bull who survived being dumped down trash chute: Patrick continues to improve and weighs in at 40 lbs now. The woman accused of his abuse pleaded not guilty in court. Have Dog Will Travel Blog does a great job at keeping everyone updated about Patrick.

* Smile! Enjoy watching Benny and Lily build their new house on Doggy Days blog!

Tails from the past

Don't you just love looking at old photos? The hair styles - the clothing - the furniture - the expressions on the peoples faces ... And the best ones are the ones containing their pets!

I'm happy to have found an excellent website Vintage Tails, chock full of people with their four-legged pals. Many have descriptive, often humorous commentary, like the following:

"Yep, it was now a piddle skirt."



"The head transplant was successful."



Got a few hours to waste?

Let's go visit Sancho

Aniela, who is only 13, is the author of a new blog about her adorable rabbit, Sancho.

Sancho loves Nutella, skateboard riding, and playing in the garden.

Sancho is also lonely because no one knows about his blog.

Product Review: PetPeePee

I was asked to try out a new product which guarantees that "Urine stains removed will never resurface!" Recommended for tile, grout, wood floors and carpets, to remove dog and cat urine odor.

The timing of the request was perfect because our sweet, dear kitty, Bandit, sometimes misses the litterbox and baptizes the carpet instead. I waited until the next "accident" for a good time to try PetPeePee.

I was very skeptical when I opened the bottle and took a whiff - and smelled ... nothing! The liquid was clear, too. Hmmmm, I thought - is this just plain water?

The directions said to place my nose on an area that smells of urine. Yup - I found the spot right away. Then, I had to saturate the area with the PetPeePee liquid, but without using a spray bottle. It felt a little worrisome, dumping more liquid onto the carpeting, but I did it. I waited the 5 minutes recommended, then started to dab up all the moisture with a clean white rag. I decided to let it dry over night and check it out in the morning. Well? Nice! No smell! The cat urine smell is totally gone!

How did they do that? The bottle doesn't list the ingredients. It just says, "Naturally blended Dead Sea minerals." Whatever they are, they work. I will recommend this product to all.
