Harry Potter Week



If you didn't already know, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out this Friday! And Extraordinary Pets is celebrating! Stay tuned this week for our Harry Potter (HP) themed week.

To kick us off, I want to highlight the ordinary animals involved in the HP series that had extraordinary talents.

Who's your favorite and why?

• Crookshanks - is Hermione Granger's pet cat, however she is part Kneazle and can detect when there are untrustworthy people around.
• Fawkes - is Dumbledore's pet phoenix, who's feathers were placed in Harry's and Voldemort's wands.
• Hedwig - is Harry's Snow Owl that delivers very important messages for Harry.
• Nagini - is Voldemort's pet snake, who is used to protect Voldemort's immortality.
• Scabbers - is the Weasley's rat, who turns out to be Peter Pettigrew, a Death Eater.

I think my favorite is Nagini. She is so mysterious and evil. She adds another element to the books and made me jump pretty high in the last movie!

What's yours?

Does Your Dog Snore



Does your dog snore? Ours does, in fact all three of them do! It is kind of funny when it happens because I can tell that they are getting really good sleep.

However, Sometimes Adam and I complain because on more than one occasion we have been woken up by our dog Sparky.

For the most part I don't mind the snoring because it makes me feel loved. Let me explain...when our dogs snore and they are laying on our laps, or at our feet, I can tell that they were so comfortable that they had to fall asleep and snore. Snoring = Comfortable = they trust us & love us! Make sense?

Story: While we were out of town last time, we had Rick from Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus watch our animals and he said that while he was hanging out with the dogs on the couch that Sparky fell asleep on his lap and snored. Sounds like, my animals are very comfortable around him. I am happy we found a company that treats our animals really well!

Do your dogs snore? How about your cat? Does it annoy you, or does it make you feel loved?

Conjoined Baby Birds



I saw this story the other day and I had to post it. A woman found a set of conjoined baby Robins in her yard. Luckily she has tons of experience taking care of birds.

What are the odds a conjoined birds would fall into her yard? Either way, I am happy they found her because they wouldn't have survived much longer without her help.

A Must Watch - The Honey Badger




I found this video yesterday on Hollywood Gossip and I thought it was hilarious. The video is about the Bad Ass Honey Badger.

I will warn you though there is quite a bit of profanity. Enjoy!
