Pets, Puppies And Parrots

Pets have become a part of the American family

. Hotels, airlines, vacation rentals have all jumped on board to make sure Fido feels comfortable traveling with the family. Online stores have sprung up to make shopping for your furry loved ones more convenient with such supplies as dog chews, Science Diet, toys, Pedigree dog food, and Frontline Plus medications for your puppy. These online stores are wonderful for those that work full time or have limited access to the big pet retail stores. Often prices are better online also.

I have a pet lover at our house who is always bringing home something to be cared for, nursed back to health or just to stay. He has brought home quail chicks fallen into a drainage ditch, an abandoned kitten found in a field on a rainy day, numberless injured wild birds but the granddaddy of all rescues was when he brought home a little iguana from his scout leader. The story was that if you keep an iguana in a small cage it will never grow bigger, well who ever came up with this story was either a liar or dumb.

Cage size can't keep an animal from growing or all small apartment dwellers would be short! Two years and three cages later, our little six inch iguana was pushing four feet! This was by far the most expensive pet we ever had, he was eating almost a half a head of lettuce a day, dry vitamins for his lettuce, UVB lights, heat lights, heating pads and rocks, humidifier, not to mention the price of the ever expanding cages. Luckily we were able to give "Mr. Iggy" a new home at a local veterinary school where he now lives in a giant rod iron cage happy as can be.

Pets, supplies, kids, adults, families, they all seem to go together. Take your dog along on vacation, order up extra supplies of Frontline Plus medication and dog chews for him while you are away. Have the neighbor feed the cat and birds, enjoy the little clothes and beds and jewelry for the furry and feathery loved ones in your life. Pets do add a kind, accepting element to family life. When the world is against you, your dog, cat and parrot can bring you comfort and joy.
