Fumble! NFL Player Injured While Potty-Training His Puppy
Three month old Lil’ Rufio took down a NFL player, Joseph Fauria, with one move — evading capture after being caught
trying to do his outdoor business indoors. Fauria doesn’t blame the puppy for
his injury, a sprained ankle, he just hopes to get better soon so he can play
for the Lions again. In the meantime, he is much more careful when he needs to
take Lil’ Rufio potty.
Your Pet Might Be Peeved!
If you are going to pet another dog,
you should be prepared with an extra treat for your own. A study by
psychology professor Christine Harris and her former student, Caroline Prouvost,
seems to show that dogs get jealous and act out with attention seeking behavior
when their owners pet another dog. Harris said that the dog not only acts
jealous, he actively tries to break up the connection.
Keep That Cat! Litter Box Problems Do
Have Solutions
One of the most given reasons for surrendering a cat or euthanizing it
is that they are doing their litter box business anywhere but the litter box.
Ilona Rodan, DVM shares that surrender is not the only option. Most cats have
unresolved medical issues, are trying to communicate, or are stressed when they
misbehave in the litter box department. Among the solutions, a visit to the vet
is the first step to rule out medical problems. The next step is to reduce the
cat’s stress and to keep their current litter situation clean and accessible.
