If you’ve ever shared a home with a cat, you’ve most certainly smelled the distinctly pungent odor of cat pee a time or two. Cat urine (and its stinkier cousin, cat spray) smells so strong, and is so offensive to some, that an inability to prevent or deal with cat urine odor consistently ranks among the most common reasons cats end up homeless and in shelters.
For pet parents, backyard odors are a normal issue, especially during warmer and drier seasons. But, additional unpleasant odors and mysterious stains can have several potential causes. Has a stray cat been marking your back door? Have the birds enjoying the feeder outside your window left an unsightly stain on the front porch? Did a raccoon turn trash day into an all-you-can-eat buffet on your driveway?
There are many reasons to turn away from petroleum-based and chemically based products, and to embrace sustainable resources.
Perhaps you want to help strive for cleaner air in the future; maybe you want to reduce U.S. reliance on overseas oil; maybe you want to reduce the likelihood of a disastrous oil spill; maybe you just want to reduce the number of chemicals in your household.
The holidays are right around the corner. Do you feel daunted by the task of getting things organized before the house is full of family and friends? Are you wondering, how can you get the house ready as easily as possible?
Here are some tips and tricks to make life easier during this crazy, fun time.
Many of us pet-lovers delight in seeing a fluffy dog head poking out of a car window when we’re out on the road. Perhaps it’s evenyourpet’s cute face greeting fellow drivers! Regardless, we love to carry our pets along with us wherever we go, but this can present some pretty stinky problems.
You are asleep in bed when you hear that gagging, coughing noise that causes you to jump out of bed to try to get your dog or cat outside to safely vomit away from your carpet. But, you are just not fast enough and now you have vomit on the carpet or worse yet the bed, couch or any other surface.
Oh no! You hear your dog out in the yard make some strange noises and then, they are at the door scratching to get in. On opening the door, the dog runs into the house acting crazy, rubbing on furniture, rolling on their back, then it hits you, the SMELL. Noooooo! Your dog just got skunked. You quickly grab the dog and put them in the garage, but now what? You go to the internet and start a search.
Finally, the world feels like it is opening back up. Now you have to go back to an office rather than work from home and getting your pets back into the routine has some challenges you may have to overcome.
Some pets will have separation anxiety and it has several possible symptoms. Here are some of the most common.

What is Coprophagia? It is when you dog eats poop, their own or others. They will eat all kinds of poop from cats, horses, chickens (a delicacy my dogs favor), elk, or deer. Or how about the goose poop you encounter as you walk your dog? Dogs are drawn to it like a magnet sometimes.
I am a fan of having pets fully integrated into my household, and I love decorating books and magazines. Because of this, I decided to do a book review for a book I just read:Cool Dogs Cool Homes, Living in Style with Your DogWritten by Geraldine James with Photography by James Gardiner.
The house reeked of urine! It was a rustic mountain house so many of the walls were cedar, as we walked through the house we saw a rabbit hutch up against a wall and the whole wall behind it was covered in white film, it is calcium carbonate, we found out that was caused by excess calcium from their diet and it is excreted through their kidneys. What we saw was a thick hard film of smelly white stuff stuck to a rough cedar wall. There were piles of feces throughout the house and odors in every room.
