Time Marches On -- Caring for Your Aging Pets
We are a youth-oriented society. The web is inundated with puppy and kitten "cuteness". But as the days turn to weeks, months and years, we find our attachment to our golden retriever twins only deepens. If you feel the same way about your aging pets, you know that a longer life also means our pets suffer more age-related conditions.
Amy D. Shojai is a nationally known authority on pet care and behavior, and the award-winning author of nearly two-dozen nonfiction pet books. Her Complete Care for Your Aging Dog
and Complete Care for Your Aging Cat
can help you turn back the clock and keep your senior cats and dogs vital, happy, and active throughout their golden years.
What We Can Learn From Old Animals | NYTimes.com recently featured a touching slideshow (Isa Leshko thumbnail image above).

Framed Cat Blueprints Decorate Your Home or Office Wall
Many pet owners are partial to a special breed of cat or dog that they love dearly. To decorate your home or office, each amazing Cat Blueprint
displays a detailed illustration of your chosen breed, along with design specifications about the breed's origin and temperament. These schematics are created in the style of mid-century blueprints (between the mid-19th century and the latter half of the 20th-century).

PetScoop: Draw the Dog -- Funny, Heartwarming Dog Cartoons and Drawings
Visit Draw the Dog to see more dog cartoons like this! We love this site, and we know it will make you happy too. It's drawn by Jim George:
one of your typical ex-Disney animators who lives near the beach in Venice and once spent years animating in a cabin in the woods and who has been creating characters for film and TV and who has been a director and book author and who also has a counseling practice and who really likes animals and people, too.
....Jim draws the cartoons; Bruce Kasanoff does everything else. This is because Bruce can't draw and Jim doesn't want to do anything else.
You can order prints of the cartoons and a personalized sketch of your dog. And, perfect timing, you can even order Christmas Cards:
