Hints for my dad

Dad, I hope you see today's post and take it seriously. This way you will stay out of the "dog house"!

Another cat post...

Zoom

Just like my Mama when she transforms herself on the day she is meeting her friends via Zoom. I don't know Mama's secret regarding her gray roots, her friends would never know she has any.

I do like the pink shirt on that cutie.

Zoom is not a problem for me because  I always look stunning. Now smell is a whole different issue.

Dog's way of life

Hey, I need a break!

Some good news to share

Animal Shelter Celebrates Emptying Their Kennels After Every Dog Gets Adopted

 Reprinted from Facebook post / April 20, 2020

An incredible and joyful thing happened today....For the first time in the history of Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, we have completely emptied one of our three dog kennels!

This amazing milestone was made possible by the help and support of our entire community! Thank you to the shelter staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to care for, find homes for, and advocate for the pets who come through these doors; thank you to our incredible foster parents who open their heart and homes to thousands of pets each year; thank you to everyone who has opted to adopt a shelter pet - whether it be here or from any of the other amazing organizations out there; thank you to our placement partner organizations far and wide - without them, this would not be possible.

Let's keep the momentum going and good vibes flowing! We still have dogs available for adoption or foster in our main kennel, along with a few adoptable cats, two adoptable horses, and Charlotte the adoptable pig. If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please visit our website to view our available pets and submit an application online: www.pbcgov.com/snap.

In light of the current pandemic, there is a lot of fear and uncertainty circulating around. However, there is also a lot of good – particularly human kindness. People everywhere are stepping up to make whatever difference they can. And I’m not just talking about the wonderful healthcare workers and first responders – whom we owe so much of our gratitude to, and who will never be properly thanked enough – I’m also talking about everyday people.

From picking up supplies for elderly neighbors to making donations to the local food banks and other charities to staying sheltered at home – ordinary people everywhere are doing their part to show people that we’re all united by the same solidarity. And that even extends to the animals of our society.

In fact, because of this, the Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control in Florida was thrilled to announce a really big win for their establishment. They were completely wiped out of adoptable dogs.

Dog is my love--thanks

My cousins

These guys are my cousins. Athena is the adorable little 10-year old pup; Loki is the good-looking cat sleeping on his back; and Nyx is the other cat stretched out on Aunt Gigi's bed. It is strange how Loki sleeps on his back with his paws in the air. My cousins really have a comfy life. Maybe they need some excitement, such as a visit from me. Oh shoot, I forgot we are quarantined and can't go anywhere.

What is really strange is me! This week I created two posts involving cats. I think I met my yearly quota on showcasing felines.

We are in this together

Mama thought this shirt was worth buying until she checked the site and found lots and lots of dog breeds but not one shirt featuring a pit bull. So there goes a sale and there goes some free advertising because Mama is not giving the company's name on my blog.

A working cat?

On the morning of her 18th Birthday (88 years old in human years), Zelda is a testament to never retiring—up and raring to go at 5am and at her desk at 9am sharp.

You know I don't post much about cats (what respectable dog would?) but Mama said it would be very noble of me if I would honor Zelda on her 18th birthday. She is an adorable-looking cat for such an old girl and  a fine role model for other cats so I agreed to post her picture. She must be a very unusual cat though because I am in awe that cats do not bend to authority like us canines do. Why is she working? Oh wait one minute, I bet because Ms. Zelda is the boss, not Tara. Oh, I feel much better knowing that cats still rule in their empire!

Let me go on record to say I have no complaints listening to my Mama because lots of times I suffer from selective hearing. 

Happy Birthday Zelda!!!!!

Pretty in color

Yikes, this poor pooch is a walking, barking, adorable rainbow!

Mama, don't you get any ideas!

What day is it?

We are not complaining. We are healthy and we are able to continue our walks. I have adjusted to the extra walks with Mama. Life is good. (Always room for improvement though--I think it would be better if I had some of the stuff this pup is eating!)

Stay healthy

This pup is following the guidelines.

Stay healthy everyone!

Back to school?

Sorry buddy but you have to get use to it because the little humans will be around for some time to come. We all pray the virus ends soon.

You certainly are unique looking! Just saying.

Good luck,

Get well Nadia

New York’s Bronx Zoo tiger tests positive 

for coronavirus after developing a cough

Reprinted from FB post: Article by Agence Presse / Raw Story

A tiger at New York’s Bronx Zoo has tested positive for COVID-19, the institution said Sunday, and is believed to have contracted the virus from a caretaker who was asymptomatic at the time.

The four-year-old Malayan tiger named Nadia along with her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions all developed dry coughs and are expected to fully recover, the Wildlife Conservation Society that runs the city’s zoos said in a statement.

“We tested the cat out of an abundance of caution and will ensure any knowledge we gain about COVID-19 will contribute to the world’s continuing understanding of this novel coronavirus,” the statement sent to AFP said.

“Though they have experienced some decrease in appetite, the cats at the Bronx Zoo are otherwise doing well under veterinary care and are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers,” the statement continued.

“It is not known how this disease will develop in big cats since different species can react differently to novel infections, but we will continue to monitor them closely and anticipate full recoveries.”

All four of the zoos and the aquarium in New York — whose virus death toll has topped 4,000 — have been closed since March 16.

The zoo emphasized that there is “no evidence that animals play a role in the transmission of COVID-19 to people other than the initial event in the Wuhan market, and no evidence that any person has been infected with COVID-19 in the US by animals, including by pet dogs or cats.”

Chinese disease control officials had identified wild animals sold in a Wuhan market as the source of the coronavirus pandemic that has infected well over one million people worldwide.

According to the US Department of Agriculture website there had “not been reports of pets or other animals” in the United States falling ill with coronavirus prior to news of the tiger Nadia.

“It is still recommended that people sick with COVID-19 limit contact with animals until more information is known about the virus,” the department’s website says.

In late March a pet cat was discovered infected with the novel coronavirus in Belgium, following similar cases in Hong Kong where two dogs tested positive for COVID-19.

All of those animals are believed to have contracted the virus from the people they live with.

The Bronx zoo said preventative measures were in place for caretakers as well as all cats in the city’s zoos.

Easy job...

I wonder if he gets paid in dog biscuits. If so, I have to look into the job market.

Stay healthy canines and humans.
