Pet Riddle: Where do dogs go when they lose their tails?



The Amazing Pet

A man went into a pet shop and told the owner that he wanted
to buy a pet. But, he didn't want your ordinary, garden
variety pet! No, he wanted a pet that could do everything!

The shop owner suggested a faithful dog.

The man replied, "Come on, a dog?"

The owner said, "How about a cat?"

The man replied, "No way! A cat certainly can't do
everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"

The shop owner thought for a minute, then said, "I've got
it! A centipede!"

The man said, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede
doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede." So he
got the centipede home and said to the centipede, "Clean the
kitchen."

Thirty minutes later, he walked into the kitchen and... it
was immaculate! All the dishes and silverware were washed,
dried, and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the
appliances sparkling; the floor waxed. He was absolutely
amazed.

He then said to the centipede, "Go clean the living room."
Twenty minutes later, he walked into the living room. The
carpet has been vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted;
the pillows on the sofa plumped; and the plants watered.

The man thought to himself, "This is the most amazing thing
I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do
everything!"

Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and
get me a newspaper."

The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later... no
centipede. 20 minutes later... no centipede. 30 minutes
later... no centipede.

By this point the man was wondering what was going on. The
centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes.

45 minutes later... still no centipede! He couldn't imagine
what had happened. Did the centipede run away? Did it get
run over by a car? Where was that centipede?

So he went to the front door, opened it ... and there was
the centipede sitting right outside.

The man said, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner store 45
minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What happened?!"

The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm just puttin'
on my shoes!"



October is National Pet Health Month

National Pet Health Month is a good time to check whether
there is more we can do to make sure our best friends are as
happy and healthy as possible.

Here in the northern hemisphere winter is on the way, and
the two problems that we and our pets often run into in the
colder weather are on the horizon: skin and hair problems.

We feed our pets Life's Abundance pet food from
HealthyPetNet and its high protein helps to keep them
healthy and improves their coats. But the winter-dry indoor
air sometimes still leads to dry skin and dandruff and dries
the fur or hair out, making it more brittle and dull-
looking. We and our pets also often get less exercise in the
winter so the natural skin oils that condition and protect
the skin and hair are less available as well.

Supplements to the rescue: HealthyPetNet offers a "Skin &
Coat Formula for Dogs & Cats" that is a simple nutritional
supplement that you feed your cat or dog along with its
normal diet.

The Veterinarian-created Skin & Coat Formula contains a
balance of antioxidant Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids that
are not only great for your pet's fur and skin but help to
protect its heart and circulatory system. Skin & Coat
Formula also contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat
with pet specific amounts of Vitamins E, D, and A.

Our pets love the roast beef flavor, and knowing that the
ingredients are microencapsulated for good digestion and the
chewable tablets were made in a human pharmaceutical plant
gives us that happy, peaceful feeling of knowing that we are
doing our best to give our little friends the full on love
that they always give so freely to us.

Man's Best Teacher

Wisdom usually does not fall from high places. The mighty
and the splendid have taught me little. I have learned more
from my dog than from all the great books I have read. The
wisdom of my dog is the product of his inability to conceal
his wants. When he yearns to be loved, there is no pouting
in the corner. There are no games entitled "Guess what is
the matter with me." He puts his head on my lap, wags his
tail and looks up at me with kind eyes, waiting to be
petted. No professor or sage ever told me I might live a
more successful life if I simply asked for love when I needed it.

How to Argue and Win Every Time





A pet shop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that
said "Parrot repeats everything it hears." A young man
bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it
didn't say a word. He returned the parrot, but the
shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot. How can this
be?

The parrot was deaf!
