Best Holiday Gifts for your Cats!
Bo, the cat: Finally! I can speak about what I want for the holidays this year! It seems everything is always about that dog that lives with me, Jessie. She is such a queen bee, you know. I just want to throw her an old bone and get on with it. Now, if you love and adore your cat as much as my human loves and adores me, you will want to make a list and check it twice before going out to buy us that perfect gift. I have a few suggestions for you:
**Buy a toy mouse, either the traditional stuffed ones or the new laser ones. Both will give us hours of pure enjoyment. Even better, select one that is stuffed with catnip.
Jessie, the dog: I know what I would like to stuff into that mouse, if only it would fit!
Bo: Plant some cat grass. Typically wheat grass, this is the type of plant on which we can chew. Try planting a plot in a large cake pan and provide a variety of plants like cat grass and cat nip for your kitty to enjoy.
Jessie: I bet Bo would only confuse such a gift with a litter box. It figures!
Bo: We all appreciate the gift of health. If your budget allows for it, get your cat a dental cleaning and a check-up. Good health can add years to our lives!
Jessie: Scratch the above idea!
Bo: Give your cat something with which to snuggle, such as a cat sleeping bag or a new cat bed. Put the bed in an area not over run by the cat’s human counterparts so the cat feels safe and secure.
Jessie: Put it in the garage, right behind the left rear wheel of the car!
Bo: If you listen to what I have said and completely ignore everything Jessie has said, I am confident your kitty…and I…will have a blessed holiday season!
Final note: Give a gift certificate from Joy of Living Pet Sitting Services in Kansas City. Owner Karen Harrison will make sure your pet feels special not only during the holidays, but all year-long, as well!

It's Dog's Play!
Jessie, the adorable canine: If you want a perfectly behaved, well-mannered, socially-adept dog like myself, you have to play at it. No, I did not mean work at it…I meant PLAY at it. When you engage in fun activities with your dog, it is good for everyone around. Dogs have a better chance of learning manners, and they become much easier to live with. When you play with your dog, you learn a bit more about him or her. You make a connection. Plus, you provide some exercise for your dog and reduce the boredom factor. Did you know that a dog that exercises with its human will probably display fewer behavioral problems? (Now I understand what is wrong with Bo, our cat!) Plus, activities serve to stimulate both our humans and us! It is a win-win! I know my friend, Bolt, a Yorkie-Poo, has recently taking up running with his human. He knows when it is time to leash up, lace up, and hit the road, and he will excitedly bark to let his human know it is time to go! Despite his seven-pound frame, this dog runs like the wind and has the grace of a gazelle! He literally has a smile on his face while doing this! His human has noted how much more social he is and more notably, how much calmer he is when inside. Plus, when it is time for bed, Bolt is fast asleep before his little head even hits the doggie bed!
If you want your dog to have some fun, and perhaps you don’t always have the time, contact the pet sitting experts at My Joy of Living in Kansas City. Owner Karen Harrison will know just what to do to bring fun and excitement into your dog’s daily routine! The Joy of Living will truly put the joy of living into your dog! You will be happier, too!
Gotta run now! Bye!

Unique dog facts, per Jessie
You know, I just cannot help but mention how unique canines are. Sure, the kitty litters can hold their own, but the dog world rocks! For example, do you even know how many breeds of dogs there are in this world? According to the World Canine Organization, there are 400 recognized breeds of dogs! Rock on, my fellow canines! While most of us are outspoken, there is one breed that is actually barkless. Basenji dogs simply cannot bark. I am sure Bo would appreciate this trait in me, but, alas, I am and shall forever remain, verbally outspoken. The Basenji is actually an African hunting dog. While he cannot bark, he can produce a host of other animal noises, including a unique yodelling sound. Perhaps I should learn how to do that, if only to annoy Bo! Another quick tid bit: Chow-Chows are the only breed of dogs to have a bluish-black tongue, and not from eating candy! While they are born with pink tongues, after about eight weeks of age, the color turns. Interesting!
Well, I have to get back to terrorizing Bo. I am one busy dog!
