Pet Squirrels

Filed under Pets

Squirrels are classified as small rodents. Red and flying squirrels weigh between 4 and 8 ounces where gray squirrels are much larger totaling between 12 and 28 ounces. Their lifespan is about 10 years in captivity, but in the wild it is much shorter due to the high likelihood of a predator attach.

Most squirrels are wild, and therefore, not available for pets. However, Southern Flying Squirrels are sometimes available for pets. It is important to make sure you have the time to commit to caring for a squirrel. A squirrel can be a great pet but does require lots of attention. Males and females vary little in their behavior patterns, so there is not a specific preference.

Guide Dogs Need For A Harness

Filed under Pets

The other day a friend was telling me how he saw this dog who was assisting a blind lady. The guide dog got distracted and those around him wanted to play with him, but the owner pulled his leash abruptly. He thought that was rude and abusive. I explained to him that dogs who assist the blind should not be distracted. The guide dogs that assist the blind are trained with a dog harness and leash. Several people are involved in the training of the blind dog guides. Their training is vigorous and detailed. The dog must be aware of his destination and how to get there without any incident for his owner.

Benefits Of Being In The Friend Zone With A Woman

Filed under Pets

Being in the “friend zone” with a woman is bad only when you fail to recognize it for what it is and take advantage of it.

All being in the “friend zone” means is that she does not want to become sexually involved with you or be anything other than friends at the present time.

Can you change her mind or ever become more than just friends her?

Perhaps, but odds are that it isn’t ever going to happen.

However, you can use her to meet and attract other women if you start treating her like a friend instead of a girlfriend.
