Cat vs Dog

Our cat, Tatiana, and our dog, Sushi, have grown up together. They are both 7 yrs old. They got off to a rocky start, though. Tatiana was 5 months old when we brought 2 month old Sushi home. Tatiana growled, hissed and swatted at poor puppy Sushi. Sushi wouldn't come out of his crate if she was around. This lasted for about a day and a half. Finally, Sushi had had enough! He came racing out of his crate barking his head off at Tatiana, who quickly ran off. After that, they were the best of pals. Since they were the same size at that time, they would chase and wrestle all over the livingroom, it was pure fun and entertainment! As they got bigger, they still continue to play, and Sushi often mimics how Tatiana uses her paws. But, Sushi likes to be sneaky and tries to get in a few hipchecks now and then. Tatiana is almost always the instigator. I took this video the other night, as this goes on every time I am preparing their supper. You'll see our other cat, Bailey, for a few seconds at the beginning, she doesn't like to get involved!

Organization & Free Shipping!

Hi! I've decided to offer FREE SHIPPING on all items in my shop this weekend - that includes treats, beds, blankets, toys, bandanas, etc... so I hope you will see if there is anything your furkids might want :) I will be adding new items over the next few days, too.



This is my Shiba Inu, Sushi, modeling one of my new doggy bandanas.

I have a question for all of you. How do you organize your day when it come to your shop? I hate to admit I'm a bit of a procrastinator, so usually at the last minute I am rushing to work on something new. But, I've decided to change my ways and my thinking. I used to think if I started a project, that I should finish it the same day. Now I am just happy if I start it, work on it for awhile, then finish it the next day. That is for new items of course! Also, I work part-time in the mornings, so when I get home, I take 1 hr for lunch, and then work on my shop for 2 hours, and then have the evenings off for when hubby comes home. It seems to be working, and I feel less stressed when it comes time to work on new items or replace ones that have been sold.

How about you? How do you organize you day?

Preparing Your Pets Before a Disaster Strikes

Have any of you been through some sort of disaster that involved your pets? A fire, a tornado, etc...?

Here is a link to some very useful informaton to help owners prepare for disasters, so we can help our pets stay stay before, during, and after.

DISASTER PREPARATION FOR PETS

I've never had to worry about this until moving to Missouri. When I lived in New Brunswick and Ontario, my biggest concern was snow, which my Shiba Inu, Sushi, loved! Now he has to deal with major thunderstorms (he was never afraid before) and of course, we all worry about tornados.

Please check out this article to be as prepared as possible. Stay safe, and together!

What Do Your Pets Do For You?

Today was a bit of a frustrating day for me. My sewing machine is pretty old. It was given to me by my Father-in-Law, and it had belonged to his Grandmother, to give you an idea. It works. I consider myself a beginner when it comes to sewing, but I'm getting the hang of it. Practice makes perfect, right? Well, this morning, I spent an hour just winding thread onto the bobbin. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? I was very frustrated and about to give up on my project (just for the day), when my wonderful dog, Sushi, a Shiba Inu, came upstairs and then sat down right in front of me, obviously wanting attention. I understand how Sushi thinks, after nearly 7 years. I've been told we are mirror images of each other. And, yes, I believe Sushi came upstairs to get attention in order for me to take a break. Petting animals can lower blood pressure, it's been reported. Sushi is a smart dog, and after I spent some time fussing over him, I continued with my project...which took all of 5 minutes to sew.

So, what do your pets do for you?

Picking Colors for our Pets

Does your pet have a favorite color, or do you? When you buy things for your pets, which colors do you tend to buy? Does it matter? Some owners may want to match their own home decor, some might go for bright colors, and for some it may not matter. Which colors do you look for when buying for your pets?

For our dog, for collars or harnesses, usually black, blue, or purple. For our cats, just about anything goes for our Torti, but for our black DSH - yellow or red goes well with her.

Getting Ready for the Adopt-a-Thon

The shelter I work at, Wayside Waifs is having their 3rd annual adopt-a-thon starting tomorrow, and it continues until Sunday. I have today and tomorrow off, so inbetween orders for Snack 'n Snooze, I am busily crocheting cat blankets for the cats & kittens to take with them to their new homes. I'm sure I won't have enough, so I'm going to bring some catnip squares so that hopefully every cat or kitten will have something to take with them.

Black Cat/Black Dog Syndrome

Ever heard of Black Cat or Black Dog Syndrome? It's not made up. Black cats and black dogs are the last to be adopted in shelters and rescues. I work at Wayside Waifs and I see it for myself.

How many of you have a black cat or black dog? I have a wonderful nearly 6 yr old Black cat. Some of you may have seen her modeling in my shop. Her name is Bailey. She is a terrific lap cat, and is fairly quiet, unless it is dinner time. I have several favourite cats at the shelter, and a lot of them are black cats. They deserve a forever home too, and they are just as loveable as any other coloured cat. Same goes for the dogs. So, give them a chance.

Please take a few minutes to check out this site, and the video on it, it's worth it.

Black Dog Syndrome

Also, if you live in or near Missouri, Wayside Waifs is holding their adopt-a-thon this weekend, so be sure to come by and ask to see the black cats and the black dogs, ok?

Why Do You Love Your Pets?

I love all my pets because of the unconditional love that they give every day. I also love that they forgive & forget fairly easily :) I love that they make me laugh, help me to relax, and of course they inspire me as well!

I have a Shiba Inu, 2 cats, and Dwarf Hamster.

Post about your pets and why you love them so much.

Sushi and his sushi accessories

I'd like to introduce a fellow Etsy Shop Owner. Her name is Elisa, she is 11 yrs old, and all her profits help to pay off her dog's vet bills. Her shop is called AllForJasmine Her dog is an adorable Boston Terrier named Jasmine! Elisa makes really cute & cool items from polymer clay. Don't let her age fool you, she is really talented, and apparently does not use any molds for her items. I just learned that some of her items will be sold in a boutique as well, how awesome is that!

I have bought from AllforJasmine twice now. I love cinnamon so I had to buy the cinnamon bun, and then Elisa made an item with sushi in it! Well, of course I had to get that as well! So, without further ado...here is MY Sushi, wearing his/my sushi necklace:
