I am such an animal lover! I have been since I was born. Growing up in Longview, my family and I lived outside the city limits, so we always had animals roaming around everywhere. We also seemed to be the 'dumping site' for unwanted animals! Of course, we took everyone of those precious creatures in to our family and loved them. At any given time we had several  cats,  dogs, parrots, bunnies, squirrels,  snakes and even lizards!  I remember my brother training the dogs and so I thought I would share some helpful and positive, training tips for you and your dog!

My cat Phineas thinks this is the biggest thing since cat nip! The apps feature movements, shapes and colors to appeal to your kitty’s sensibilities. Now my kitty Phineas and all his friends can download titles like ‘Cat Fishing’ ‘Tasty Treasures Hunt’ and ‘Party Mix-Up’ from the iTunes App Store and Android Market. Phineas gives this 2 paws up! Watch some cats test drive the apps below:

Sometimes we’re asked to think outside the box, but this dog named Lucy has had to think outside the cone.

The pooch had undergone surgery on her head, forcing her to wear a plastic cone to keep the stitches safe. The handicap, however, led to a conundrum: how to get up a flight of stairs?

It's not my fault!

Finally, I realize it hasn't been my fault that I haven't been able to teach my dog cool tricks.

Apparently, you have to speak whatever foreign language this guy is speaking in order for your dog to learn to become a professional ballplayer.
