Cat - Thankful For The Bright Spots

I have found an area that we all could personally or collectively make a difference in our lives while striving to mimic or incorporate one positive characteristic of the cat. I have noticed my cats pouncing on the sunlit "bright spots" that linger on my carpet or floor on nice sunny days. They see this bright contrast of light as opposed to a nearby shadow, and will move with these "bright spots" as they appear and fade through out the day. The most luxurious of these, of course, are the "bright spots" that are just the right size and stay long enough to bask in and take a cat nap. I make a point, that if we could seek out the obscure patches and take advantage of the obvious "bright spots", we would be more thankful for the things we take for granted. This could be saying hi to your neighbor in passing, starting a new venture or opportunity, cooking and sharing a favorite meal, or creating interactive playtime with your favorite feline friend. Notice how something or someone on the other end, is sharing or receiving the "bright spot" with you. Everyone benefits; the giver and receiver. Like our feline friends, we should pounce on and seize "bright spots" as they appear, as these are opportunities that may fade away in time. Cherish them - large or small. My cats have shown me that it is not the feline nature to mourn or pout over lost "bright spots", as there is always anticipation for the next one not too far away. Look over your shoulder....;there it is! It's in front of you or you might be stepping on it. It can even trip you. Pick it up...save it for a "rainy" day. Not enough can be said for the reward for pouncing on "bright spots". Even with the dark of the evening, one of my daily "bright spots" is finally coming home to my kittys at the end of the day. I feel welcomed and appreciated. These purrr-fect "bright spots" end the purrr-fect day. They come in the shape of paw prints and have left a never fading trail to and from my heart. Please share with me and other visitors the "bright spots" of your day or life. Thanks so much for visiting me and my 3 cats.

These pups have already had a change of home and often a long journey from their original breeder. Even though they may appear well, they could be carrying infections which may cause problems later on after you've taken the puppy home. A reputable pet shop should have the pups vaccinated by a veterinary, who will provide a certificate of inoculation. A Careful Choice Whenever possible visit the home of the breeder, or the owner of the bitch. You will be able to ensure that your pup came from a clean and healthy home, and also see what the mother is like, and maybe the father too. When I've purchased a dog for myself, I've always been lucky enough to see both parents which is very re-assuring. Beware Of Buying From A Newspaper Advertisement. Be particularly careful about buying a pup through a newspaper advertisement, without seeing it first. As the old saying goes 'buyer beware' and this applies especially to all kinds of livestock. If your new dog is ill when it arrives, or quite unlike the promises of the advertisement, you may find it difficult to get any satisfaction. Even in the case of a money-back guarantee, it is very little compensation for the disappointment especially where there are children involved. Buying From A Dogs Home. You may decide to get a dog from a dogs home. You will have the satisfaction of feeling that you are saving a life and giving some unwanted pet a home. It is well to remember though that young dogs that have been straying for sometime may have become hard to manage. In the case of a bitch she may turn out to be in pup and you will find yourself saddled with rather more dogs than you can manage. Don't just fall for the first dog that you see, talk to the officials at the home and try to find out the background of the dogs that you find the most appealing. Choosing A Healthy Pup. It is often difficult for a beginner to distinguish a healthy pup from a poor one - to them one attractive little bundle of fur looks very much like another - but really there is all the difference in the world. A healthy pup should be plump, but not have a swollen or blown-up stomach. Its skin should feel loose instead of seeming to stick to the bones. The coat should shine (unless its a wirehaired type) and of course be free from fleas or lice. The eyes should be bright and free from any sign of discharge. In addition it is wise to choose a pup which looks lively and readily comes to greet people. A timid pup may have a problem personality and be difficult to train. Finally, don't be surprised if a reputable dog breeder wants to ask a lot of questions to find out if you are going to be a suitable person to own one of their pups.
