Cat of the Week: The Manx

http://www.catencylopedia.com/MANXCAT.htm
    Now, if you were to ask most cats, this is of course if cats could actually talk, what one of their biggest pet peeves is they would probably answer that they hate it when little kids or dogs yank on their tail.  I mean the tail of a cat isn't a lever, it has feeling and it probably isn't very comfortable to have it tugged at.  Most cats cannot control there tail not being pulled on very easily but there is one breed that can because it is tailless.
    The Manx is a stocky and rounded cat that weighes about 8 to 12 pounds. These cats have a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years. The Manx has a rounded head as well as rounded cheeks, paws, and eyes that can be the colors of blue, green, or copper.  These cats can have either long or shorthair and come in various colors including red, blue(a grayish tone), cream, brown, black, and white.  They can be either solid in color or can portray a variety of patterns including a calico pattern.  Probably the most noticeable feature of this cat would be its lack of a tail.  This trait is caused by a dominant gene.  There are some Manx's though that have a stump for a tail, or even a full tail.
    The Manx originated in the Isle of Man, which is located off of the coast of Great Britain.  They descended from the British Shorthair .  The lack of a tail was due to a mutation that caused the cat not to develop the bottom vertebrae that creates the tail.  Due to no outside breeding for many years and it being a dominate trait this characteristic became common among these cats.  Because of this "funny" trait there are many myths out there about the origin of this cat including one that says that the cat's tail was cut off when Noah closed the door to the Arc.
    These cats are very mellow and friendly and will love to cuddle.  They are often compared to dogs because of their love to follow their owners around and because of other dog-like characteristics like fetching and burying toys.  They even can be trained to go outside on leashes sometimes. If you are thinking of adopting a Manx be sure this is the cat you want because they develop a bond with their owners and do not always do well if they are given up and put in another home.  These cats can be very playful and love to jump around.  The Manx is a curious cat and will like to investigate and see what you are doing.  These cats do great with children because of their good temperament, but some older Manxes may prefer to have a quieter house.  These cats are very smart and purr a lot.  They don't need an excessive amount of grooming, but may occasionally need a brushing to remove loose fur and to cut down on shedding.   If you want a friendly, playful, and curious cat this may just be the breed for you!

Trick or Treat!

   When you hear the phrase Trick or treat you probably think of things like: "Wow it's almost Halloween, the year went fast." Or "I can't wait to put on my costume and eat lots of candy!" or maybe even, "Darn it! I forgot to buy candy!"  What ever comes to mind when you hear that phrase, we all know that it is Halloween time.  A time when young, and probably even not so young kids dress up in scary, funny, or cute costumes of animals, ghosts, and the latest movie characters and go door to door ringing the doorbells and repeating for the hundredth time that famous phrase of, "trick or treat!" in exchange for delicious sweets that will later be feasted upon resulting in a sugar rush, stomach ache and a hard crash.  We all, young and old, have enjoyed this day of the year.  But have you ever thought of when or where trick or treating started, and maybe even why it started? Well, lets explore the tradition a little and find out!
    Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated by numerous countries all around the world. The world Halloween actually translates to "all hallows day", meaning "all saints day" which is what I guess you could call a type of "Halloween" observed in countries like Mexico.  It is a catholic tradition that honors saints on the 1st of November.  October 31st came into play because the Celtic, Ireland summer officially ended on that date and marked the Celtic New Year. 
    There are many thoughts to the actual origin of trick or treating but one thought is that it dates back to a ninth century tradition in Europe referred to as "souling." Christian beggars would travel door to door and beg for soul cakes, pieces of bread made with currants, and in exchange for the bread would say prayers for the givers dead relatives. In that time it was thought that those prayers may help a family member obtain passage to Heaven.
    Another theory is that during Samhain (Celtic New Year) druids feared that the dead would play tricks on people, so the citizens of the town would give food to the druids in order to please the dead and avoid the terrible tricks.
    Over time idea of trick or treating has evolved and in the 1930's it was introduced to the United States.  It was not super popular among adults at first, but being that its been around for over 70 years now, the ideas seems to have caught on.

Breed of the Week: The Great Dane


http://novathedane.blogspot.com/p/great-dane-info.html
    When you hear the name Great Dane I'm guessing that two particular dogs comes to mind, Marmaduke; the big and funny dog in the comic strip drawn by Brad Anderson and Scooby Doo; the Great Dane who loves Scooby snacks from the popular mystery show that was created by the Hanna-Barbara production studios in 1969.  We all love that classic comic and show, so let's take a deeper look at the Great Dane.
    Just like Marmaduke and Scooby Doo, the Great Dane is gigantic. They can be anywhere from 100 to 120 pounds and stand about 28 to 32 inches off of the ground.   The Great Dane has an average life span of about 8 to 10 years.  They have a short, thick, and glossy coat that can come in a wide variety of colors and patterns including black, fawn, blue, brindle, and harlequin, which is white fur with black splotches.  Great Danes have long bodies, and long faces with rectangular muzzles. They also have high set, medium sized ears that hang forward unless cropped.
    Dogs resembling the Great Dane have been thought to date back all the way to B.C. times.  They are a mix of the Bull Mastiff, the Greyhound, and the Wolfhound breeds.  They were known for their strength, as well as for their hunting and guarding abilities. The Great Dane breed was first recognized in 1887.
    Great Danes are giant teddy bears. They are a gentle breed of dog and would make wonderful companions.  Great Danes are very friendly and do very well with children. Although, it is important to watch them around young children, not because of their temperament, but because of the huge size difference between the child and the dog.  Great Danes want to please their owners and love being their friends.  The Great Dane can be playful, but surprisingly will do well in almost any home; including apartments.  The important part is just to make sure to give them their daily exercise like a walk.
Great Danes are not huge barkers and are pretty easy to housetrain.  They are average shedders and a brushing every once in a while may help to take out the loose hair.  The only challenging part of grooming a Great Dane is giving them their baths due to their size.  Overall, the Great Dane is an extremely friendly and gentle dog that would make a great pet and companion.

Cat of the Week: The Scottish Fold



  The Scottish fold is medium sized cat that is rather round.  They can be anywhere from 6 to 13 pounds and generally live 12 to 14 years.  They have large and round wide spaced eyes that can be blue, green, or gold.  Scottish Folds can have either long or short hair and can come in the colors of white, lavender, chocolate, or a mixture of these colors.  The most notable characteristic of this type of cat is its ears.  They are small and folded over flat against its head. The folded ears are caused by an incomplete dominant gene and it must be present in one of the parent cats to pass on to its offspring.  Kittens are actually born with straight ears and a couple weeks after birth the ears either fold or they stay straight.
    The Scottish Fold was discovered in 1961 by a shepherd named William Ross in the Tayside region of Scotland.  The breed was first called a lops because they resembled the lop-eared rabbit, but the name was changed in 1966 to Scottish Fold after the place of their origin.  These cats were first brought to the United States in the early 1970's and were registered by the Cat fanciers association.
    The Scottish Fold makes a wonderful pet.  They adjust well to other pets and do great with children.  They are very sweet and love to be around their families.  Scottish Folds have a tiny little meow and are not known to be extremely vocal.  They are a calm cat that would do well in almost any household.  The Scottish Fold does shed some, but like most breeds an occasional brushing can help remove some of the loose hair.  If you are looking for a friendly cat that would do well in a house full of animals or children then the Scottish Fold is definitely the cat for you.

Crazy for Chocoate Chip Cookies!



 When you want a cookie, there are so many types to choose from. You could have a sugar cookie, a peanut butter, a m+m cookie, or...so many more different types of cookies that you can't even name them all. Out of all of the cookies in the world I feel that you just can't go wrong with a good old homemade chocolate chip cookie.  I would have to say that personally these are my favorite types of cookies, especially when they are warm and fresh out of the oven.  They are ooey and gooey and melt in your, with warm, soft chocolate chips that melt in your mouth. It is like taking a small bite of heaven and it is impossible to only eat one. Have you ever wondered though how these delicious cookies came to be? Who made them and how did they think of the idea? Well, I went on the internet and did a little research to find out.
  It all started with a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield.  She graduated from college in 1924 and became a dietician.  Some time later She and her husband purchased and ran a tourist lodge that was called the Toll House Inn.  Ruth became known for the delicious desserts she made and one of her favorite ones to make were Butter Drop Do cookies.  One day when Ruth was baking a batch of Butter Drop Do cookies and she realized that she was missing baker's chocolate and it was needed for the recipe.  She decided to substitute the ingredient with a semi sweet chocolate bar that she broke up into little pieces. The chocolate bar happened to be made by another famous person in the food industry, Andrew Nestle who owned the Nestle Chocolate company.  When Ruth went to bake the cookies she found that the chocolate pieces did not melt into the cookie, but only became softened and warm.  These cookies became a hit at the inn though and eventually led to Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield making a deal. Mr. Nestle would print the recipe on the back of the chocolate packaging and in return Ruth was given a lifetime supply of chocolate.  this is how the nestle Toll house cookie that we still love and eat today came to be.  One of the best cookies in the world was a total accident, but probably one of the most delicious accidents to ever happen.

Breed of the Week: The Saint Bernard


http://www.pluspets.net/saint-bernard-wonderful-pet/
     Everyone has probably heard of the big dog named Beethoven. He is the large, cute, clumsy, and lovable dog on the big screen; but, it may surprise you that this dog was not bred to be a movie star.  According to http://www.dog-breed-facts.com/Breeds/st-bernard.html, the Saint Bernard is originally descended from ancient Roman Molassion war dogs and guided the soldiers on their invasion of the Alps.  Over time these dogs were crossed with the Swiss dog and walla! The Saint Bernard was created.  But, still not to be a movie star.  These dogs were used to haul heavy carts, herd and guard. One of the most important jobs of the Saint Bernard was to rescue people on the dangerous pass connecting Switzerland to Italy.  It even gets its name from the refuge on the mountain called the Hospice of the Great Saint Bernard Pass.  Saint Bernards have a wonderful sense of smell and could smell people stuck under many feet of snow.  These dogs are very talented and have saved many lives.  In the 19th century these dogs were shipped to countries in Europe and to the United States and that is when it became a family dog and eventually a movie star.
   These dogs are gigantic and can weigh anywhere from 110 to 200 pounds! They are very muscular, making them a very strong dog.  They have large heads with shorter and wider muzzles.  They usually have a big black nose and dark brown eyes. They have droopy ears, big paws, and a large thick tail.  They can have either a long or short coat that comes in variety of colors including white with, tan, red, mahogany, brindle, black or a mixture of these colors.
    The Saint Bernard makes a great family dog.  They are wonderful with children and are very gentle.  They do well with other pets and usually just ignore cats.  These dogs can be harder to train due to them being more independent so it is important to start training early because you don't want such a big dog forming bad habits.  Although they can be hard to train, housetraining usually is fast and easy which definitely is a plus.  These dogs are very loyal and will become protective of their families. They love being part of the family and will want to be included in all of the activities and to be close to you. These dogs do need both physical and mental exercise to keep them healthy and from getting bored, although they don't always want to exercise.  In order to make it fun for them it is important to include yourself in their exercise by either walking them or playing with them.  These dogs do shed a lot and do drool but you can minimize some of the shedding by brushing them often. The Saint Bernard is also sensitive to the heat, but do okay in the cold so it is important to be careful when they are out in the hot sun to make sure they don't get overheated.  Saint Bernards are fun, lovable, and even movie stars and will make a great addition to any family that will love a gigantic dog with a gigantic heart.

Cat of the Week:


http://www.cat-rescue.org/siamese-cat-photos/

    The Siamese cat is one of the oldest breeds of cat.  They are famous for their roles in Disney movies like That Darn Cat and in Lady and the Tramp singing we are Siamese.  The Siamese cat is a medium sized cat with a long, sleek body and matching long tail. They have short hair, angular faces, and typically have blue eyes.  They have light colored fur that darkens on the ears, face, paws, and tail.  They have an average lifespan of fifteen or more years.
   The Siamese cat originated in Siam (present day Thailand) and were thought to be very sacred.  Siamese kittens would be given as gifts and that was considered to be a great honor.  The Siamese cat was first exported towards the end of the nineteenth century.
    The Siamese cat is known to be a very noisy cat and will definitely state their opinion.  These cats love to be around people and will become very close to their owners.  It is important that if you want a Siamese cat that you make sure to have enough time to give them. If you work quite a bit maybe consider getting two cats so that they have a companion to play with during the day.  The Siamese cat is a very smart cat and also needs to be kept mentally occupied with toys so that it doesn't get bored.  These cats are very social and will love laying your lap and cuddling with you.  They don't shed very much and they require little to no grooming. Although it is not a necessity Siamese cats may still enjoy a good brushing every once in a while.  So if your looking for a cat that is playful and compassionate then I think that the Siamese might just be the cat for you.

Why You Should Play Tennis!

   Tennis is one of my favorite sports and I play it a lot.  It is a fun sport and can benefit you in many ways.  Before I get to why I think you should play tennis though let's first define the game of tennis.  Tennis is a racquet sport that uses a light weight ball. The players stand on either side of the net and the goal of the game is to hit the ball back and forth and to score a point against the other player or players.  The scoring is pretty easy it goes love-15-30-40-game.  If the score gets tied 40-40 you play a point called a deuce.  Either the player who scores the next point wins or you can play advantages and then the player has to win by two points.  There are three main types of hits in tennis. The forehand, the backhand, and the serve.  All of them take practice but the serve is probably what takes the most work.  The player who is serving serves the whole game and then the other player serves the next game. Usually you play a set of games like first to five for instance. Tennis can be played in singles and doubles.  The rules are pretty much the same for both types of play except the boundaries change slightly.
   Okay so now that we are on the same page about the game I will tell you why I think you should play it.  First of all it is a really fun sport to play, especially if you play with your family and friends.  Most of the time you will end up laughing through the majority of the game. It is also a great way to stay fit and healthy. Tennis is a sport that you can play for the majority of your life.  It's not a contact sport so it is not as hard on your bones and joints.  Another reason that I think you should take up tennis is because you always can improve.  You can learn new hits, become more accurate in your hits, speed up your hits, and improve your hits and strokes.  You feel really good when you accomplish a goal and improve.  One more reason that tennis is a great sport is that when playing doubles you play with another player on your side and you can make a lot of new friends.
Tennis is a lot of fun and I definitely think that you should give it a try!

Breed of the Week: The Chihuahua

http://www.petinsurance.com/healthzone/pet-articles/pet-breeds/Chihuahua-Dogs.aspx
   The Chihuahua is a very popular dog all over the country.  Many famous people like Paris Hilton, Sharon Osbourne, and Cesar Millan own Chihuahuas.  These dogs have also appeared on many TV shows like Courage the Cowardly dog and That's So Raven; they have appeared in many children's books and Taco bell even had a Chihuahua for its mascot.  Lets take a closer look and get to know this popular breed of dog.
    The Chihuahua is classified as a toy breed and is usually between 1.5 to 6 pounds and they only stand a few inches off of the ground. They have an average lifespan of about 15 to 18 years.  Chihuahuas can have either long hair or short hair that comes in a variety of colors including: fawn, black, sand, silver, white, and chestnut.  They can also have spots and splotches.
   The Chihuahua is thought to have originated in Mexico, but there are many theories on exactly how it originated.  Archaeological evidence was found that suggests that there were Chihuahuas in the 1500s.  The Chihuahua is named after Chihuahua, the state in Mexico and was first recognized by the AKC in 1904.
    The Chihuahua is a breed that loves to be close and cuddly with its owner.  They will always want to be around you and be your friend. They can be a stubborn and feisty breed but they are a lot of fun.  They love to play and need about 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day.  A good way to exercise  them is to either walk them or play with their toys and make games.  These dogs are very small and would do well in just about any home, including apartments.  Chihuahuas do get nervous around strangers and it can take them a while to adjust, but once they get to know the person they should do fine.  The same goes for dogs they do not know.  At first  they might be wary and slightly aggressive but as they get accustomed to the dog they should do fine. Chihuahuas are a cocky breed of dog and will often think they are much bigger than they really are so it is important to watch them when they interact with other dogs. These dogs are a barky breed and may bark at strangers, dogs and things going on outside.  Chihuahuas should do fine with children as long as the child is gentle with them. Since the Chihuahua is a somewhat stubborn breed tsome can be a little difficult to train, but as long as you use the right methods and have patience they should do fine because they are a very smart breed.
     Chihuahuas do not require too much grooming; just the occasional bath and brushing to decrease the shedding.  These dogs are average shedders and you may notice some hair around the house.  Chihuahuas are sensitive to cold and hot weather so it is important to not have them outside too long in these conditions.
   The Chihuahua is a great dog that is a lot of fun and will definitely make you smile. :)

The Importance of Exercise

http://runner-guides.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-brain-running-provides.html
     When we here the word exercise a lot of us probably groan out of dislike.  You probably think exercise is hard and boring and I don't have anytime in my schedule, but exercise can actually be really fun and it is really important.  Exercise is not only good for your heart and body by keeping you fit and building muscle and endurance, but it is also good for your mind. According to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17050486/ns/health-fitness/t/boost-your-brain-power-exercise/ exercise can decrease stress and improve your mood and attention which would lead to you being more successful. The article also talks about how exercise can improve thinking and even prevent certain diseases like: high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, high cholesterol, and even Alzheimer's disease.
    When begining to exercise you need to find something that you enjoy. It could be a sport like football or tennis, you could swim or do aerobics, or you could jog or even just walk.  I personally like a variety of exercise activities but my four main ones are jogging, walking my dog, swimming laps in the summer, and tennis.  I think its important to have a variety of activities that you like to do because it keeps you from getting bored.  It is also very important that you enjoy the exercise you are doing because then you will want to do them and you will want to improve.  Set goals for yourself. They don't have to be huge, for example if you start running and you've never ran before set a goal like in two weeks I'm going to run half a lap around the trail and then when you accomplish your goals make them bigger and bigger and eventually they may be goals like in two months I'm going to run a 5k race or next summer I'm going to run a half marathon.  When you can accomplish those goals you feel good and boost your self-confidence.  Don't worry if your friends have goals that seem bigger than yours.  you have to set goals that are reachable for yourself and any goal no matter how big or how small is an accomplishment  to be proud of.
    You also don't have to exercise for hours a day, it is reccomended that people get about 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day but even if you can't do quite that much I feel that any exercise is better than none.  I hope after reading this you feel more motivated to start exercising and just remember it may be hard at times but just enjoy yourself and accomplish your goals!

Cat of the Week: The Sphynx

http://www.pictures-of-cats.org/sphynx-cat-picture-3.html
      When you see a shpynx you will definitely know it because of their appearance.  They are medium sized cats between 7 and 15 pounds that on average live 9 to 15 years. They have a round belly, a light bone structure and well developed muscles.  The have angular heads with big eyes that can be a variety of colors.  They have a flat forehead and defined cheekbones and they also lack or have very small whiskers.  These "hairless" cats are covered in a very short fuzz-like coat.  Although they lack hair, Sphynx come in a variety of colors and patterns like white, black, brown, cream, spotted, patched, and so on.  These cats have large pointy ears and a long slim tail often with a fluff of fur on the end.
    Although their is evidence that the hairless cat dates all the way back to the Aztecs, the first successful breeding attempt occurred in Canada in 1966. There was trouble with the breeding and it wasn't until the 1970's and 1980's that they had continuous success and started recognizing the sphynx as a breed.  A recessive gene is what causes the cat to become hairless.
   The spynx is a very friendly, curious and social cat.  It will need a great deal of attention from its owner and will want to be their friend.  They are not an aggressive cat and would do very well with children and other pets. These cats are very affectionate with their families and they love to play.  The sphynx is a very vocal cat and may meow at you a lot as well as purr a lot.  This breed of cat is mainly an indoor cat because they are very sensitive to the heat, cold, and sun.  Although you may think that this would be a good cat for someone who is badly allergic it is actually not because most people are allergic to a protein in the glands of the saliva and skin.
  These cats do need quite a bit of grooming.  They need their ears cleaned and need to be bathed once a week to get oils off of their skin.  If you start bathing these cats as kittens they will get used to baths and wont struggle as much as a typical cat would.
  The sphynx is a wonderful cat that will make you laugh, become your friend and will be an important member of your family.

Breed of the Week: English Bulldog

http://eu.fotolia.com/id/32412873
    The bull dog is a very compact, medium sized dog.  They stand low to the ground and have a pretty wide stance. They are usually around 49 to 55 pounds. The English Bulldog has a pushed in snout and is very wrinkly with a lot of extra skin. They have big round heads with a large defined jaw. English Bulldogs also have an under bite and their bottom teeth often stick out.  This breed of dog comes in a variety of colors including, red, brindle, white, fawn, and a mixture of the colors. They have a short coarse coat that requires only a little brushing. They have an average life span of 8 to 10 years which is one downside of the breed because I feel that 10 years is short time to have a wonderful dog, but every year you have with your pet is special.  Since English Bulldogs have wrinkles it is important to clean them approximately once a week or when needed and to keep them dry. 
   Although the English Bull dog may look tough most of them are actually big teddy bears. They are a very gentle dog that develop close relationships with their owners and can be pretty protective of them.  They love to be your best friend and always want to please you.  If you think that you would like an English Bulldog make sure that you have plenty of time to spend with them because they like to have attention and to spend time with their families.  Also be sure that you let the dog know that you are dominant because they can have issues with this and may do things like guard toys or food and they may think that they run the house.  If you show that you are the dominant one though this should prevent these behaviors.  English Bulldogs do very good with children and also with other pets. This breed of dog tends to have weight issues so it is very important that you exercise them daily.  Walks are a great way to exercise them but be careful not to over work them.  These dogs are very sensitive to the temperature outside, so make sure to play with them indoors when it is too hot or too cold.  This dog would do good in any size of home as long as they get the attention they need.  The English Bulldog is a very friendly and loyal dog that will quickly become your best friend.
