I get what they’re going for here, but wouldn’t spraying them with bright paint make them more visible to the bears and such that prey on them? It seems to me like modifying the roads in high deer areas might be a better, not to mention more efficient, way to go. Who wants to be …

Hello, Humane Society? I Have A Dead Cat. Bye.
Back a while ago, I ran into a situation that really made me think. A neighbour of mine had a cat that suddenly passed away at home, and she wasn’t sure how she was going to take care of the body. To make things worse, she didn’t have a vet here, so she couldn’t call …

I wouldn’t Dream Of Being This Irresponsible! Or…Would I?
In some of my dreams, like the ones where I’m coming up with new tech ideas or predicting the future, I like to think I’m a genius. But in others, I think there’s a part of me that considers me to be the biggest moron on the planet. I know there are common dreams we …

A Playlist Just For Shmans
Steve told me that Spotify can make playlists for your pets with some information from you, and I had to try it out and see if any of Shmans’s favourite songs would show up on her list. They didn’t, but the playlist sounds like something that might be found on an easy listening station and …
There Was Squeakin’ In The Park One Day
I know this is old, but it’s an excuse to tell a silly story. A few months ago, I heard about a ton of guinea pigs getting dumped in a park. At the time, Steve and I asked why someone would do that, and I immediately thought of the song above. I’m pretty sure guinea …
Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Makes You Sink Your Kia Van
People really can’t handle spiders, can they? The woman told a state trooper she was trying to back her Kia van down the Neel’s Landing Boat Launch to put her kayak in the river when a spider jumped in her lap. Naturally, she jumped out of the van. The van then rolled into the river, …

I Don’t Like Spiders And Brakes
I’m guessing that the Australian fellow who caused such a commotion while trying to kill a spider that neighbours thought a woman was being murdered and this New Yorker who flipped his car because one landed in his lap are not the same person, but I can’t confirm that. According to the sheriff’s office, the …
The Cat’s Thoughts On Your Christmas Tree
I came across this song the other day, and chuckled. I thought of many cats our family had over the years. Thankfully none of them ruined our Christmas tree or did too much ornament damage, but I think we learned to strategically place breakable ornaments too high for them. Many times, we would come out …

Jazzy Want A Firefighter!
Parrots and their way of imitating things always fascinates me. Well, here’s another one, and this one imitated the smoke alarm and brought firefighters to the home. Damn, that parrot is good. Living with a bird who could do that would have confused the heck out of me, but the way he imitates the phone …
What’s That, Lassie? You Can Speak English Now?
I read about the idea of a pet translator, and although it’s in primitive stages, I got a little bit excited. Maybe, finally, this could be what I have been wishing for in this old post. Maybe this would allow me to ask my guide dog why she’s having trouble, or if anything hurts, or …
