Care to Your Dog!

I felt compelled to write this article having just spoken to a couple of our members who “thought it would never happen to them” of course these members are absolutely devastated and are running around in a panic not knowing where to look first! the panic one feels when your beloved pet is nowhere to be seen is almost indescribable.

Do you fear the worst? do you try to remain calm and collected so you can start to search in a methodical manner? As the tears threaten to rise to the surface, as a pet owner you will want to be both sitting by the phone..willing it to ring but equally out, searching for your beloved pet, feeling you are doing everything within your power to try to find him/her.

The thoughts are racing through your mind, is my pet safe and just having a jolly time roaming the local area/park or has he/she injured themselves whilst missing from home, has he/she been involved in a road traffic accident and could be in need of urgent medical attention. Equally, it is very difficult sitting at a computer, compiling missing posters when again, the one place you feel you should be is outside, walking the local neighbourhood, speaking to neighbours and passers by, in the hope they have found or seen your beloved pet.

All to often I hear people say to me, its okay, I know my pet, they are always with me, well trained, will not stray, is a housecat and only goes into the garden when I am out there, and to an extent, I too, would like to believe that of my own pets, but I know I am fooling myself.

One lady called me in total distress, their cat is 10 years old, always returns home, never goes far at all, but lo and behold, he had disappeared. Was he wearing a identity tag (an instant visual means of identity) I asked, No she replies, he never goes far and then the famous words were spoken, I never thought it would happen to me especially as he is now 10. During the course of the conversation I quickly established she had 3 other cats, she decided there and then she wanted 4 of our unique identity tags, she wanted 4 in the hope her lost 10 year old would be found and reunited with her.

Another lady called me, she lived by the seaside and did as she does every morning, took her beloved dog for a walk onto the beach, she was distracted momentarily and stolen almost from under her eyes was her beloved pet, again I heard the words, I didn’t think it could happen to me, if only you had emphasised the importance of being a member earlier..Oh dear, what more could I have done!, hence my blog today.

There are a number of ways to spend your time each day when you login to Pet Society. One of the more recent additions that has grown in popularity is Pet Society gardening, a side game that allows you to grow your own vegetables, flowers and trees for use in fishing, decorating your home or selling back to the food store for a profit. You will need to have a few coins on hand to start Pet Society gardening, but once you have that initial investment ready, you should start gardening immediately. The profit potential is modest, but the other benefits are numerous.

How to Use the Pet Society Gardening Function?

The Pet Society garden is open to you right away but is going to be costly to get started, so you may as well wait a few levels until you have some coins set aside to pay for the thing. The key to operating the garden effectively is to know what you are using the crops for. If you need fishing bait, you will almost always want to grow trees, because they do not disappear after you harvest them and they are going to take up the most room. You will also be able to sell off that fruit for a nice profit, something that you can do time and again once you’ve caught your rare fish.

Mastering Pet Society Gardening

You can also grow vegetables which sell for a nice profit and flowers. The flowers do not sell for all that much, but they can be put into pots or vases and placed throughout your home as decorations, something that will allow you a great deal of control over how your home looks. It’s fun to grow and harvest your own flowers for decorations too. Just be sure that you have the time and the money to do it properly and that you don’t grow too many. If you run out of room or end up not wanting that many flowers, you will have wasted quite a bit of coins to grow them and plant them in potters.

If you’re serious about turning Pet Society gardening into something that will allow you to enjoy the game in as many ways as possible, you need to spend some time learning how to manage your time. You also need to take advantage of as many of the benefits you gain from it as possible – including the added bait in your fishing endeavors, the boost in Paw Point gains and the side coins you can make by selling off the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor.

There are three different Pet Society sports that you can start playing almost immediately in the game. The ball is unlocked from the moment you hit Level 2 (which is done in the tutorial), and the Frisbee will be unlocked in a very short order after that. The third and final of the Pet Society sports is the jump rope, which will be the hardest but also the most rewarding of the three if you can master how complex it is. Together, these three Pet Society Secrets are going to allow you to reach all new heights in the game when it comes to earning Paw Points and landing those tough gold trophies.

Tips for Tossing the Ball

The ball in Pet Society is a tricky sport if you have too much space to play in. The key here is that your pet is going to start throwing it harder the longer you play. If you have a lot of space to play with, you’ll find it hard to stay behind the ball and keep it from hitting the floor. If you have a big house, go to a smaller house of a friend somewhere to play so that you can use the walls as locations for it bounce off of.

Tips for the Frisbee

The same holds true for the Frisbee, except this one is absolutely vital that you have a small house for. The Frisbee travels faster and is smaller, so it is harder to click on if your reflexes are not top notch. Make sure to have as little space as possible and you’ll be okay though.

Tips for the Jump Rope

The jump rope is a tough one to master if you’re not careful because the game gives you almost no time to react to the red line that pops up telling you to jump. So, instead of relying on that line, look for the rope to pass over the pet’s eyebrows. When it gets to that point, click the rope to jump and by the time the reaction gets through you should be good. Your own reaction time may be faster or slower, so if this doesn’t work for you, adjust as necessary, making sure to find a good visual reference point to keep your rhythm going.

As you can see, there are a lot of different things you can do in Pet Society, not the least of which are the Pet Society sports. These sports will allow you to have fun with your pet, engage with a variety of different fun actions and to gain much needed Paw Points with easily repeated actions that won’t max out each day. If you’re bored enough or are good with the ball or Frisbee, you can reach the top levels in no time flat, just playing Pet Society sports.

After perusing the internet, I have found a few nice forums for pet lovers and decided to share it with you. http://www.lovemypets.com/Forum/forumPage.aspx

It is my goal to exceed all the other membership numbers that these other forums have (which is a mighty big goal).  However, I think I will just take it one day at a time and have a fun time with it.

Usually people think of pet owners as having a dog, cat, or even a fish.  But I am going to open this forum up for all pet owners!  Maybe you have a snake (which isn’t a furry friend) or you might have a pet goat!!!  Whatever type of pet you have, this forum is for you!

I’m writing this for pet lovers every where , which like myself, there are many out there who are very close to their pets. They will always be there for you, good companions, and rarely complain. However they do in fact need our help through their journey in life.

Over the years I’ve traveled the world, visiting many countries, where ever my work would take me, primarily throughout Asia. I’ve learned and experienced many cultures, and now live in Northern Thailand , surrounded by jungle, but not too remote.

The other day, I was looking across the jungle view, thinking back on all the pets I’ve experienced, and who have come and gone with time. I really have enjoyed to the fullest many Dogs, Cats, Birds through the years.

One thing really struck me though, being a pet lover. I realized a disturbing pattern of most of my pets which, well enlightened me to share my experiences, and hopefully offer some good common sense, preventive steps to protect your pets, as they can and do follow similar heath problems as people.

Preventive, is certainly the right word to use towards your pets life and well being.

I’m going to share an experience with my pets, and these aren’t what you might think, shots, vaccines, give a pet a bath topics, but unique true experience, where many of my pets could have lived a much longer and healthier life, if I would have known these problems before hand.

It started with my favorite dog, a golden Lab-Retriever name Kruger, yes named after the Australian gold coin, do to his short hair and very gold color. He traveled almost everywhere with me, within the states.

I gave him extremely rich canned food, mixed with rich dry food. You see those cans all the time, the picture with rich meat and gravy look on the label.

So the lesson is simple preventive understanding on nutritional guidelines for your pets. If I had picked up a book, and educated myself, he may have lived a much longer life.

Think about this simple preventive, common sense approach as a pet lover, and this certainly applies to more than just dogs.

The child is the one that asked for the pet. The child is the one that picked out the exact pet that was brought home. And the child is the reason that the dog shakes his head in shame when he has to respond to Plankton as his name. But, that dog or the cat or any other pet that manages to make it into your home is not just the sole responsibility of the child, is it? Like it or not, they become part of the family and as such, are the responsibility of everybody, at least partially. Despite protesting against it, you find yourself feeding the cat or walking the dog from time to time, but does that necessarily mean that your child is shirking his duties? Not really, if one child needed a drink of water, would you really make him wait for it?

Before you even allow a pet to come into your door, sit down with your child lay down the rules and obligations that will be expected of him. Make sure he knows how much food the pet will need, and how often. Make a clear chart with pictures for younger children, or clearly worded directions for older kids. Include rewards and punishments for failing to meet any obligations, for example, if the child does walk the dog on their day, then that child loses TV time. Teaching your child to meet obligations and duties is important to turning out responsible adults.

Remember though, that children will actually forget certain things in pet care, no matter how much they love their furry friend. There might be times when your child is sick, or too busy with schoolwork or extracurricular activities to fulfill all of his obligations. On those occasions, it will be up to you to step in and help the child out. Ultimately, as head of the family, all of the members are your responsibility and that means the feline, canine or miscellaneous additions as well. If you are completely unwilling to step in and take over any aspect of pet care for any length of time, you may want to reconsider allowing a pet at that time.

No matter how well the child does take care of his pet, you must also understand that the financial burden will most likely be on you. You will have to maintain his diet, his vet bills and the other costs of pet ownership, unless you are planning on sending your child out to find a job!
