Leashes to Litterboxes

I found this through the grapevine.  Some person has actually made a garbage bag that repels animals.  Can you imagine not having the neighbor’s cat rip through your garbage or preventing the knock over of your cans by raccoons.  Terry Feinberg is the inventor of these mess saving bags and says this:

Discovering the perfect all natural repellent:

Many products on the market that claim to repel insects or animals have mixed results and many don’t work. Many have chemical ingredients that are a safety concern, while others might be natural but have unbearable odors, and still work poorly. My goal was to produce a safe, effective product that had a pleasant odor for all but turned away the animals and insects using all natural ingredients.

During the past 3 years of product development, an all natural repellent that proved to be effective in deterring a wide variety of animals and insects was formulated. This all-natural formulation worked so well that it blew away the competition.

If you have problems with rodents, raccoons or the neighborhood cat you may want to try them.

I just read a feed from a friend that says that Paris Hilton brought an imposter dog to the set of her new movie……

Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua Tinkerbell is an impostor, it has been claimed.

But pet expert Charlotte Reed, author of ‘The Miss Fido Manners Complete
Book of Dog Etiquette’, told Us Weekly magazine: "A Chihuahua’s fur may grey
with age, but dog nail colour stays the same.

"In the older picture, Tinkerbell has a black nail, while in the new one,
the nail is white. I don’t think it’s the same dog."

Ummmm…..who really cares?  The only thing I care about is the possibility that Paris Hilton is probably the worst example of a pet owner for the younger generation.  Many young people are puchasing these cute little dogs, not understanding what being a dog owner entails and eventually they find a new home for it.  In fact on the island I live on there was a gal who drove to another province, saw this adorable little puppy, brought it home and after 1 week realized that she wouldn’t be able to take care of it.  "Puppies are a lot of hard work you know"  Well at least she had enough good sense to give it to a loving family who adore it.

So remember, just because the Paris Hilton’s of the world, (who have tonnes of money, and lots of help to care for a dog) can raise a cute little puppy doesn’t necessarily mean that you can.

Genetic Savings & Clone, a biotechnology company that sold cloned pets, sent letters to its customers last month informing them it will close at the end of the year because of little demand for cloned cats. The company had recently reduced the price from $50,000 to $32,000.  Associative Press

Well thank goodness for that!

"It’s no surprise the demand for cloned pets is basically nonexistent, and we’re very pleased that Genetics Savings & Clone’s attempt to run a cloning pet store was a spectacular flop," said Wayne Pacelle, head of the Humane Society of the United States. "It’s not just a bad business venture, but also an operation grounded on the misuse of animals."

I know it is very difficult when you lose an animal, in fact one of my future posts will deal with the human animal bond, but cloning your pet that is just going a little too far??  What do you think of cloning? Leave a comment.
