Pets.
Re: Pets.
We have a new pet in the Bernstein house - Finny the betta. I have been cycling the tank for two months and taking parameter readings on a daily basis. Taking care of a betta is far more complicated than a dog or hamster. When I was done acclimating him to the tank, he decided to take a giant leap onto the floor. Gave us quite a scare. But I was able to pick him up and place him back into the tank. Seems much happier being in a warm, filtered 5 gallon tank than a cup.

Infuser? lol I meant diffuser. HA!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 10:28amAh, I see. That's a shame. Some people report the pheromone diffusers as a miracle treatment with cat anxiety. I'm just hoping it can get us back to the more awkward peace of a week ago.
Anyway. I'm not sure if it ever worked on my cats. I used the wipes once on the travel crate and Kitty rubbed herself on it so...

Re: Pets.
So sorry Marky.

Re: Pets.
So sorry to see this, Marky. The connection we have to pets is that rarity where both are so fortunate to have enjoyed each other's love and company. I'll raise a glass to Mac's memory tonight.

Our animal companions are so much more than pets - they truly are family. They're the most loyal friends we could ever ask for. They experience life with us - and make the experience of living so much better. They make us laugh and sometimes they make us angry - but we love them unconditionally.

Re: Pets.
Oh no, Marky! I am so so so sorry. Mac was adorable and looked like a great companion. I know the pain you are feeling right now and it's just awful. Sending comforting thoughts your way.
