Did you ever wonder if your dogs could really talk. Well I have had dogs all my life and I actually believe that some of them were more talented than others. I currently own Rascal and Zoey. Rascal is a little fifteen pound Yorkie and Zoey is a sixty five pound Goldendoodle. I haven’t really put my foot on if Zoey can talk but I definitely believe that Rascal can. Rascal is a rescue pup and he looked like he was the smartest one out of the whole litter. I had a feeling about him early on.
Many years before him I had a dog named Dodger. Dodger was just a six month old puppy when I adopted him. It was my nineteenth birthday and I lived in San Francisco. He felt right for my family and I felt like he chose me as a pose to me choosing him. He was a great dog and was easy to train. He went everywhere with me and my new baby girl Jess. He lived a long fifteen years but passed on soon after his fifteenth birthday. I was so sad when I had to put him down.
A few years later I had gotten Rascal and I just felt like he had been here before. I felt like he knew me. That he chose me again. I used to call Dodger little man and I just instantly started calling Rascal that because it felt right. As Rascal grew he started to get his own personality but I still felt like he was special. I kept telling my boyfriend that I think he can talk. We would try to get him to say something but he just cocked his head to the side and looked at us funny as if to say; “I will never speak”. Rascal can really understand things that we say better than any other dogs that he had been around. When he gets in trouble we say “what did you do?” and he comes right over wagging his tail and gives us kisses of his apology. I know he understands us all very well.
Rascal is going to be seven this year and when he was six we decided that maybe another dog would be fun for him to have around. We adopted Zoey and they have had so much fun ever since she came into the picture. I actually think that they talk to each other when we leave the house.When we come back home from wherever we go the two of them look at us funny. As if they were just talking about us. I really feel that Rascal does all the talking.
Zoey is only a year and a half, still a young little girl but she understands some things. She is very verbal which makes me believe that she loves to hear herself talk. She still gives us that look as if she knows what we are saying too. I think as she gets older she will be able to understand me better.
It's hard to tell if they can actually talk. But I wish that they would just say something. I love you or hello. Something.
I guess for now I will have to just believe that they talk amongst themselves. At least until they say something to me. But I do feel like these two can really understand the human language better than any other dog that I know anyway. Hopefully someday they say something to us that sounds a little like the English language.

Olivia
Olivia lived in big gigantic house in the beautiful countryside. It was warm and breezy most of the time but the sun made her happy when it shined upon her. Olivia was just about to turn eleven and the only thing she wanted was a pair of yellow shoes. Fancy ones with a cute little buckle on the side. She had seen them in a department story her mother took her to just yesterday. She had to have them she thought. She asked her mother for them for her birthday party. Mother thought for a long while but finally bought them for her. Olivia was so excited and could not wait to get them home. But what Olivia did not know was that these shoes had magical powers. On the long drive home Olivia imagined playing in the shoes and dancing around her room in them.

You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat
Introduction I am currently reading the excellent "The Pie At Night" by Stuart Maconie and he mentions that he has a homemade fridge magnet that he bought from a craft fair somewhere in Lakeland that has a wooden cat with googly eyes that states "You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat" and that is something that happens to me very often, so it would imply that I am not Nobody.

How to take care of your cat
Feed them natural food, not commercial dry powdered foods. Although natural foods involve more preparation, it really doesn't with the right steps. You can prepare a lot of natural cat food and store it in the fridge or freezer. When storing it in the freezer, be sure to put it in separate containers. You can also mix a little bit of vinegar or wine if storing it in the fridge to make it last longer. Note that storing it longer will also decrease the nutrition, taste, texture, and aroma of the food. If the cats are not spoiled or native, they'll still eat it anyway. Only mix probiotics and vitamins when you're ready to give the food. You can search on Google for foods that aren't allowed for cats and foods that are appetizing to cats. I usually mix the food with allowed fruits and veggies. Not to add too much because they won't eat it. I also mix meat stock, rice, and some commercial cat food to save more money and increase nutrition, thereby preventing diseases and veterinary expenses. When I can't give them anything, I give them rice with soy sauce mixed with a little bit of malunggay. Cats have little kidneys, so don't give them soy sauce often, which is high in sodium. It said on Google that grinded pumpkin seeds can get rid of worms, but I haven't tested it. If youre planning to give it, though, be sure to test it first on one cat and a very small amount, then monitor for the cats behavioral changes. Same procedure when introducing other types of food. If effective, maintain the diet so the worms will be completely eradicated and nutrition levels maintained. Also, clean the cage with Clorox to remove the eggs on the surfaces so the worms won't come back to the cat.
