Prius in the news.
Reality hits on road to hybrid heaven
I definitely have to look into that federal tax deduction for purchasing a Prius.
Between the car and my medical bills, this is going to be a complicated tax year.

Everything’s Cherry
Remember last year when I complained about the huge cherry tree behind my apartment? This, by the way, is the same cherry tree I also exclaimed over when it was covered with flowers in the spring. Well this year is worse than last. Every single one of those flowers has once again become a cherry…

Cat Days of Autumn
Halfway through October, and I’m still wondering where September went. Today is the first day this month I’ve looked out the window and seen anything resembling autumn. A storm front came through yesterday, bringing with it periods of high winds. A few leaves in the trees, up to now reluctant to release their grip on…
KfH’s New Trick.
I am coming to the frightening conclusion that there is no place in the apartment that Kitten from Hell cannot wreak havok in. It has been my practice to put KfH in the master bathroom at her (and the other cats’) feeding time, when she’s been particularly bad, and when poor Clueless Wonder needs a…
I have to order my parents not to give any chocolate to the dogs this Christmas. They always insist that a few pieces won’t hurt them but they can do without it. We can give them something not dangerous instead.
The vets I worked told clients that they could use a buffered aspirin, but that’s been years ago.
Regarding the spam issue, yes, I know it validates my email address. I only do it is there is a disclaimer stating they will not give my address out. 99% of the time I block them, but even that is useless. It does give me abit of satisfication though…
I also warn my friends with dogs about the dangers of onions, not sure if and how they affect cats.
I always refer folks to http://www.doglogic.com for more tidbits.
Alli
Yup, onions, and to a lesser extent garlic, can give dogs and cats a potentially fatal blood disorder called Heinz body anemia. Some people advocate putting a little garlic powder on a dog’s or cat’s food if they won’t eat, to make it more enticing. It does work, and in small amounts can’t harm them. I’ve never felt good about that though, and resort to other tricks to get mine to eat.
Not that they need me to resort to any of those tricks very often!
I remember the first time I told Mrs. Teabags about chocolate being bad for dogs she didn’t believe me. We didn’t have internet or anything like that then, and it took forever to be able to find something to show I wasn’t pulling her leg.
Thanks for the pet care tips!
