When you have pets and have a family, it can sometimes feel like you are living in a madhouse. There is always so much to do, so much mess to clean up, and so much tidying to do that it can leave you feeling like all you do is clean and tidy all day! When you have lots going on in your family home it can be stressful if you do not handle it calmly, and it can leave you unproductive, which is no good when you have lots of people and animals to look after, and you have lots of chores and jobs to do two.
Striking a balance can be difficult, but it is not unachievable. You can look after pets successfully and run your busy home and life smoothly with these few tips.
Get Super Organized
From having plenty of food in the house, to following a cleaning schedule, the importance of being organized cannot be underestimated. If you do not get organized as soon as possible then your list of tasks and jobs will get on top of you and it will weigh you down, which of course is no good for your quality of life, or that of anyone else within your home. Therefore, taking time out right now to get organized is something that you should prioritize. Having a few minutes before the start of each day to get to grips with what lies ahead will ensure that you can go through your day like a boss.
Get a Good Vet on Board
Just as a good doctor is important for you and your family, a good vet is also a necessity. Knowing who to go to and who to turn to in times of need will provide you with peace of mind, and will ensure that you are the best pet owner that you can be. When it comes to looking at vets you need to go for those that are recommended and trusted, such as the vets at Kelly Crossing Animal Hospital who provide high quality care for your pet at any time. In addition, you can utilize online and offline recommendations and reviews to ensure that you get a vet who is local to you, affordable, and caring for when you and your pet need it the most.
Property Containment
It’s important that your dogs are properly contained on your property. You can erect a fence surrounding the property or invest in a reliable GPS dog fence collar, which offers a state-of-the-art way to ensure your pets are safe while still giving them the freedom to explore.
Designed for convenience, this portable solution can easily travel with you, making it perfect for maintaining control while on vacation or outings. Its real-time tracking and boundary customization provide peace of mind, ensuring you always know where your dog is and keeping them protected from potential harm.
Create a Calendar and To-Do List
When you have things written down, such as appointments, checkups, and parties, you ensure that you can fit everything around the upcoming event, and you also ensure that you do not forget anything off your long list. If you don’t write down upcoming events, and you don’t write a daily to-do list then you will spend, or waste half of your time figuring out what to do next and why. Having as much as possible written down will allow you to take a quick glance, prioritize what needs doing and tackle it with all your strength and energy.
We live in a nice neighborhood and over the past 10 years or so we’ve developed two colonies of feral cats. I feel sorry for all of those feral and stray cats because almost all of them are malnourished and/or sickly. They’re definitely not healthy! …
Dogs are like humans in that they can feel anxious too. Nighttime can be a particularly anxious time for them. They feel alone when their owners have gone to bed. It is dark and sounds heard can seem more frightening when they cannot be seen …
Our handsome boy Romeo loves playing hide-n-seek. It’s one of his favorite playtime activities. He’s a year old and has a lot of energy to burn off throughout the day. We do our best to keep him busy by making sure he gets plenty of play time. Playing helps to keep him healthy and happy.
Last week I snapped two pictures of him playing hide-n-seek. I have two throw rugs in my kitchen and he loves to hide underneath him. Now that he’s a year old he barely fits which always gives it away on where he’s hiding. His third favorite place to hide is underneath his one cat bed.
When we mention the words “hide-n-seek” he knows exactly what that means. He tears out of the room and goes to hide. We wait a few minutes and then we go and seek. He’s always the hider and we’re always the seeker. LOL Geesh, he should at least take turns!
What kind of games do you play with your furry friend? What are some of your cat’s favorite games and/or toys to play with? Besides playing hide-n-seek, Romeo enjoys playing with his laser toy, his dancing and flopping fish, and his one toy where balls spin around a column that he tries to batt with his paw. Fun stuff!
