Fleas and ticks can drive you and your pet crazy if they get out of control. Show those fleas the door with this simple home remedy using a lavender oil infused mist that’s safe for the pet and for you. Note: I would use this remedy once every 2-3 days. However, if the problem is bad use it once a day. Spray the pet and all of their feeding and sleeping areas.
Invitation: watch a video of a more mellow dog that hits soccer balls with its head: www.youtube.com A makeshift lock on a chain link fence was no match for the dog employee at Mann’s Welding called Winston. The 80-pound pit bull mix managed to break free Sunday. That’s when Michael Emerling received a call from police. “When they said he attacked a car,” said Emerling, “I wasn’t prepared for what I saw.” Winston chewed the front bumper of a patrol car completely off, bit through two tires, and left teeth marks in the side panel of the vehicle. The Chattanooga Police Officer behind the wheel was clocking speed when Winston launched his attack. The Officer was sitting in his car, filling out a report when he says the car began shaking. That’s when he got out of the car and discovered the dog attacking his car.

Eventually the dog was captured by animal control officers, with the help of one of his owners. “Obviously at some point yesterday he was not a nice dog,” said Emerling, “but previous to that he was very sweet.” Emerling says Winston will occasionally show aggression toward lawn equipment, but has never hurt anyone.

I used a motion-sensitive camera trap to monitor the effectiveness of a motion-sensitive ultrasonic cat repellent. The range of the repellent’s motion sensor was rather limited, and the cats quickly learned to just avoid it. The camera trap showed that I was getting 3-4 different feral cats moving through my yard 7-8 times per day before I put the repellent up, and this did not change after I put it up. I think this might be useful to keep cats out of one small area, I’ll try it on my kids’ sandbox.
