Smelly Ears

Random post alert!

Our Cocker Spaniel Brinkley has really stinky ears. About every two weeks or so he starts to smell like feet. I know, how disgusting. I have done some research and I guess it is a very common problem with dog breeds that have long ears.

To remedy the problem, your must clean their ears often. Our groomer suggested we use the lowest percentage rubbing alcohol solution we can find and mix 1/8 cup with equal parts water. Then dip a cotton ball in the solution and clean away.

However, make sure that the cotton ball isn't too wet, water in a dogs ears can easily cause infection.

And voila, no more stench of feet!

Cleaning Cages

A little rant:

I love my animals, but sometimes it is a drag cleaning up after them. Our cat litter box and guinea pig cage are the most tedious to clean. Sometimes I wonder, do these guys every stop pooping?

And don't even get me started on the dogs and our backyard.

What do you think, are there things you dread doing for your animals?

Cat vs. Internet

Okay so I was introduced to this comic website today and it really got me laughing. Here is a snip of one of the comics featuring a cat and the internet.

Go to the link if you want to view more of the cartoon (I didn't feel right about posting the entire thing).

Animal New Year's Resolution

I know we all make New Year's resolutions for ourselves, but what about a New Year's resolution for your pet?

• Does your pet need to loose some weight?
• Are you walking your pets enough?
• When you get home from work are you playing with your pets?
• Do you want to devote more snuggle time together?
• Develop better grooming habits for your pet?

So what New Year's resolution are you making this year? Will you include your pet?
