My Pet's Tales

  I remember the day in 2010 we brought you home. You had a brother and a sister who were your whole world. When Cain passed away , you got a new sister, Tink . When your other sister Casey passed away in 2017, it took some years, but you eventually gained a new brother, Poe.  And now, today, at 13 years old, it is your time to go.  We weren’t ready to say goodbye.  The picture on the top is one of the first pictures I ever took. The picture on the bottom is the last, taken just shortly after his birthday in July 2023. Ziggy, you were loved by so many. I wasn’t ready for you to go, but I’m thankful for all of the years I got to be your mama. Run free with Cain and Casey now. I know they missed their puppy kitty brother.

Poe and Tink I would like to say it is hard to believe I have not blogged here since early 2016, but it really isn't.  In the fall of 2015, I left my husband and his kiddo to start a new life . It was a mutual decision and best for us both. We're still friends and everything is fine there.  When I left, I left Ziggy behind with him and kiddo. Tink and Casey came along with me. It was a given Casey would come because I had her prior to our relationships. Tink was a little bit harder because she and the kiddo were very attached to each other, but the ex wouldn't be around much to help her take care of Tink. So, we felt it best that Tink come with me since she was also very attached to me and Casey. 

Hello everyone! I keep saying I am going to dust off this space and do something with it, but it is just so hard. I still miss Cain so much and I leave the site so that I am able to share his memory. But, that is not what I came here to write about.

I've been thinking about how much I miss sharing my pets. I would almost bet Tink, Casey and Ziggy would love to have their blog back again. I miss blogging in the truest art form. It was fun and a wonderful way to share your life with people. I loved the friends I've made over the  years and I really miss that. It's time for me and my little fur family to get back to our roots.

Source: Photobucket Hello everyone, I have good news, and some bad. Good news - we are moving! I have a pet section on my site, YUM eating that I feel is better suited and will give Ziggy, The Fish, Tink and Casey a lot more attention. Since launching YUM eating it has been hard to keep up with so many smaller sites. Since we don't have very many readers here or subscribers and have the potential to reach a wider audience with the other site. I've also been contacted through YUM about some great pet opportunities, so there's that too. It has also been hard to keep up with Cains Tales since the passing of Cain. It almost seems pointless to keep a blog about a dog we no longer have even though his spirit very much lives on here at our home. I tried to make it work, trust me! I doubt we will ever get another dog or pet with the name unless we adopt or foster a dog which has already been named. Even then, I'm not sure the pet blogging niche is my forte. But ...

Think about this for a minute . How about I take a medical knife or a pair of medical scissors and freely cut off a section of your ears. No pain killers, no nothing. It would leave you looking a bit like Spock. And then, we tape them. You can not remove them under any circumstances. As a matter of fact, you can not even scratch them when they itched; doing so could cause damage.

Should a person have a dog in an apartment which does not have ample yard or a dog park? The answer is probably not. I want you to put yourself in the dogs' position for just one moment. Apartments by average scale are small. Dogs, no matter what size need ample room to run around in. Not only that, dogs need rays of sunshine just as humans do. Humans need that Vitamin D the sun provides and dogs are no different. Locking them in an apartment all day is not healthy mentally or physically for dog.

Chewy arrived again. We love Chewy at our house. We know when that box arrives someone is going to be very happy. This months review is for Natural Balance Platefuls co-founded by "Eight is Enough" Dick Van Patten.

So sad :(

First I have to tell you, I am a big do-do and while I read the package a hundred time "freeze-dried" dog food just did not sink in. I mean, it did. But when I opened the package and went "Oh! A cookied!" It did not dawn on me that I would have to prepare these little cookies in a special way before the girls could eat them.

(C) Chrystal Mahan We Review: Orijen Ranch Raised Lamb Singles Freeze-Dried Dog Treats We approve! Mom has been working with me on my blogging skills since I have had to take over for Cain. We miss him very much still and I tell Tink stories about my brother all the time. He was the best big brother ever. Mr. Chewy came to visit us again. This time he dropped off a soggy box. It wasn't Mr. Chewy's fault. Mr. UPS decided that this week he was going to use our front door to leave our package even though it's blocked off and we never use the front door. Mr. UPS must have been new. The box got left in the rain. Mr. Chewy was wondering where his review was and mom was wondering where the box was. When her and dad left to go in the car, mom saw the box as they were driving past the house. She raised her voice when talking to dad so me and Tink could tell she was mad.

 Video 1 is Tink going crazy and Casey trying to hide...and me talking. Wait till you see what she's barking at. Video 2 was filmed a mere minutes after the first.
