Petside Items: Sneezes, Traps and Baghdad
Accthooo! Does that sound familiar? There are pros and cons to the beauty of Spring -- or pollinating season as it's known to botanists. Yes, the grass, the trees, the cherry blossoms...you name it...Mother Nature is having a jam down party right now.
If you're dependent on pill-popping like me, Zyrtec is the new Claritin, which was the new Allegra. But if you believe in a more natural approach to fighting allergies, a new study our of Europe suggests you ...get a dog.
Interesting to me, because I was 'diagnosed' as being allergic to dogs yet seem to be able to cohabitate with my very long-haired Sheltie without so much as a sniffle.
So I think I might buy into this theory that by living around something you may be mildly allergic to on a daily basis, you actually build up a sort of immunity for when the big guns come around.
We all know that living in a rural area has it's pros and cons, but for our pets, Footloose Montana is educating pet owners on the perils of traps set for wild animals. Seems the traps can't distinguish between friendly four-footers and foes, so it's up to us humans to figure out how to reduce the risk for our roving dogs or cats.
Kudos out today to the Cat lady of Baghdad. Working as a security consultant by day in Iraq, Louise goes by first name only...but by night she becomes the Lady in Shining armor seeking out, rescuing and shipping off cats caught in the crossfire.
