The One Where Pedrito Is In Training, Not

Tomorrow, I will share with all of you, our furiends, Pedrito's actual dog training session, but for now, allow me to give you the funny version. 

Proper Dog Training

I hope you learned A LOT from my bro. For once, I'm feeling a tiny bit proud of him.

A Pet Related Incident

M woke up this morning to the following email from her beloved son who is playing professional water polo in Athens, Greece. We all heard her screams... and ran away.

The accident prone son

The email (it was addressed to all, ehem, family members):

Countrymen, proud family, friends, human beings,

Today is not as funny as yesterday. Yet. But it does bring up an interesting question. The Greeks say bird shit is good luck. I wanna know what happens when a bird shits in your eye?

Preface: Grandpa don't panic. All is ok.

Good news of the day: Gabor is here in Greece.
Bad news: no good deed goes unpunished. Driving home a bird shat -> through the sun roof -> between the gap of my head and the front of the sun roof -> and into my eye. Hence the question. Do I get EXTRA good luck once my eye is better?

I'm only laughing because it's not a big deal. Bird scat scratched my cornea and I get this awesome MacGyver eye patch for 48hours and no swimming for 3-4 days at most. I don't have to play against the easy team tomorrow (kalamaki for those of you tracking) and I'll be back just in time for the hard game Wednesday (panathanaikos).

In the meantime. I am grateful to have my good friend here. I cried more from laughter in the waiting room than from the eye itself. Lol.

All good in the hood.
Enjoy the pic!
Laugh a bit if you must,

M instantly tried to reach him, but to no avail. Several hours later--after midnight in Greece--M got the following email: April Fools!!!!

BOL

Mi familia is NUTS

South African Ranger Lion Whisperer

This came to us in the form of an email. It is a series of photos of a ranger who's job is to prevent poaching around the wildlife refuge area of Lanseria, South Africa.

According to an article on the web: "His charm works with hyenas and lions too."

According to M: "His charm works with women too."

Enjoy the pictures of the Lion Whisperer

PS: M wants to adopt a lion now... Yes, she's aware it comes without The Ranger ;)

And to this, I have to say, "Yeah, sure M. As soon as you get control of the felines in this house, go for it!" BOL

Wordless Wednesday

Size Don't Matter

It really doesn't, and I, Twinkie, can prove it. Watch...

 Yeah, aha, you got it.  It's MY dog food. You two can only look.

 You can act all innocent, Pedrito, but we all know what you're thinking.

 You too, Frankie.

Nom, nom. It's yummy! Delicious!

 Ugh! Is he still there? He's a persistent lil' one.

 H-okay! All done.

 As soon as I turn my back . . .

Go on, silly chihuahua puppy. It's all yours. BOL

This was just one demonstration that proves that size is irrelevant. Tiny dogs RULE!!!

Best Pet Hair Remover: Pledge Fabric Sweeper For Pet Hair | A Product Review

Pledge Fabric Sweeper For Pet Hair

Best Pet Hair Remover!

There's a total of 11 of us living under one roof. Seven cats and four dogs. It's inevitable; our house quickly fills up with hair. Frequent vacuuming and maintenance helps, but our humans are always on the lookout for the best pet hair remover, and, so far, and for a few months now, there's one winner: The Pledge Fabric Sweeper For Pet Hair.

This pet hair remover, has two lint-collecting  rollers that grab, lift, and trap the hair inside. It's easy to use, as long as the fabric has no slack. It works really well on surfaces such as: couches and pillows, bedding, chairs, and so on. I repeat, it does not work as well on loose fabric.

We've been through numerous pet hair removal products, including the popular pet hair rollers, several sponges, etc, but the Pledge Fabric Sweeper does not compare in ease of use and cost. It also saves time, since you don't have to keep finding the edge of the sticky paper. 

Another of the best features of the Pledge pet hair remover is that ... despite what the manufacturer says, IT IS REUSABLE! It is also inexpensive compared to the rest of this category of products.


In October of last year, Consumer Reports, gave the Pledge Fabric Sweeper For Pet Hair an excellent review confirming our experience. We've been using ours since July of 2010.

There are videos on youtube that show you how to clean out your Pledge pet hair remover, even though it's pretty simple to figure out.
