We’re Back!
We are back to posting after a hot, humid, but very fun trip to Dallas. It’s summer there even if it isn’t yet here in the Pacific Northwest. It got us thinking about summer activities like swimming and boating, so here is a post about our favorite canine life jacket.
Friday Fun: Dog’s Eye View Of Agility Course
Wowee! This dog is fast. I wish we could see what he sees of his handler. The weave is impressive and I love the zippy roll at the end.

Friday Fun is early this week because we’re going to be out of the office for the Memorial Day weekend here in the US. Have a good holiday and take a moment to remember the men and women who have died in service to our country.
Lost Parrot Recites Name & Address For Happy Reunion
Yosuke the grey parrot has some clever owners who had been teaching him to say his name and address in case he ever got lost. Well, the parrot escaped his cage and was eventually found by police. But, Yosuke didn’t reveal his talent until the police took him to a vet. It was at the vet’s office, Yosuke began singing childrens songs and saying his name and address. The police checked the address and sure enough, it was Yosuke’s home.
Modern Bent Plywood Cat Scratcher
Very clever design here! This cat scratcher by moderncritter comes with two carpet tiles by Flor (not your typical carpet tile) that can be replaced when worn out. If the standard Terra colors don’t work in your home, you can special order from Flor and come up with something really striking or something that will blend into the background. Remember to consider whether your cat prefers looped carpet or cut pile. Moderncritter recommends looped pile if you aren’t sure.
The plywood is finished in a walnut veneer and the carpet is attached to the plywood base with heavy-duty velcro making it easy to swap out new tiles. The scratcher can be deployed several ways. You can hang it on the wall creating a shelf. You can lean it against the wall or lay it on the ground depending on what you and your cat prefer.
