Asia and Bayou getting their morning dose of exercise.
(direct link to video)
We usually do some activity like this at least once a day, if not more…..prevents ‘trouble’. Plus, Asia sort of insists that we have play time, bringing me an assortment of toys until we do something. Bet you could never [...]
I thought it would be fun to share something we use actually quite often.
Specifically, we like ‘treat boxes’ to help simulate some of the activities outdoor cats would do in the hunt for food. They are great for burning active kitties energy, OR, great for getting a slightly more portly kitty moving a bit [...]
So the other day I was browsing videos, and stumbled on this video. (here is a link to the youtube version, I could not embed that one)

After seeing this video, I noticed quite a few others.
I did not know dogs enjoyed tramps so much.
But it got me thinking, what is [...]
Well, the idea behind my training for the month of April was fun, and went pretty well the first week. Unfortunately, being that I am dealing with four distinct cat personalities, things got complicated. Everyone (except Dexter), decided all the treats I was using were not motivating enough to continue ‘work’ on a [...]
If there is one thing I adore about the Pet Meadow crew, is that each is so unique. We had a guest stay at the house last week, and that always gives me a chance to watch the animals through another’s eyes.

Cosmo is proving to [...]
Training is going well so far, we have a long ways to go, but I have the basis down for several tricks. I will post updates, more information and video on Monday.
The crew is having NO problems with the training schedule, as a matter of fact, they are on overdrive [...]
It is time for a challenge!!! (and we need your help….)
I love to do something called 30 day challenges for all sorts of subjects. They are a great way to change habits and implement new ones (for hoomans and pets alike).
I have been toying with some ideas to get training fired [...]
My crew has become picky over the years. They have decided all catnip toys are a waste unless they are the Yeowww! Catnip Brand ones. Now, granted, I don’t blame them. Yeowww packs the whole toy with catnip which is hard to find in anything else. Plus there is something about [...]
The husband asked me awhile back what I would like for Christmas. We are not very big into exchanging much between each other, we usually focus any gifts on family and friends first. This year I asked for his handyman skills to help with a problem in our office.
Working from home [...]
