New Dog Owners… (Why a dog site link on a cat site? Well, 50% of all cat owners have a dog.) A site where new dog owners can learn what to expect with new puppies and how to teach them the rules of your home. Many people get puppies not fully understanding how much work they really are and many (way to many) get rid of dogs within weeks of bringing them into their home. This hurts everyone involved and can give that dog issues with getting close to people and even worse, ending up at the pound, just to be put down. We are here to hopefully help you with the new member of your family and to cut down on how many dogs are given up on and passed from home to home.

Welcome to our Blog… I am (Brittany) a distinguished ‘crazy cat lady’, and Paul (my husband) has always favored man’s best friend – dogs.  At least until we adopted our first fluffy kitty cat together, our sweet boy Yoda. We visited the animal shelter, and lo and behold, Yoda was waiting for us that day.  He was the first kitten we laid eyes on and there was an immediate bond. This is why we want to share our passion for kitties by posting articles and reviewing cat health, nutrition, grooming, accessories, furniture, and tips that will make your kitty purrrrrr from happiness!

Never heard of cat whisker fatigue? Well, it’s time to learn… When cats whiskers are forced into close contact with the sides of a food bowl, it can get extremely painful for your cat. That may be why they don’t always finish all the food left in the bowl. Not necessarily because it is the wrong food… but because it is the wrong bowl. Learn more.

Volunteering helps animals lead fulfilling lives – and it has many personal and professional benefits for humans, too. Animal volunteers can peek into potential fields of interest, develop practical skills, and work their way into paid positions in animal welfare organizations. Volunteering with animals is also a great way to make friends and have fun. Plus, studies show that working with animals lowers stress levels and increases your sense of stability and meaning in life.

I am a wife, a mom, and an artist! I earned a B.F.A. in Interior Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. After graduation, I worked in my field of study for several years before meeting the “love of my life”! The fast track version after meeting Michael is that I fell in love, got married, and four years down the road had our first born son, Clark. My second child, Mally Jane, was born in 2010. I ventured away from the Interior Design industry and became a stay at home mom. Being home has allowed me the freedom to be creative, in between diaper changes and play time, of course! I started Morrison Design Studio as an outlet for my artsy inspirations! Take a peek, and I hope you love what you see.

If you are of that age, that your Mom or Dad are getting older, and need help taking care of themselves… I’ve been there, done that, and it was NOT a fun time. My Dad had passed away of a heart attack. My Mom also ill with a heart condition. With each visit to Florida to visit her, I could see that just taking care of day to day life was becoming overwhelming for her. Then she ended up in the hospital and everything changed. She no longer could live at home, alone, or take care of herself. I was in a city I had no connections and had no idea how to research Adult Health Care. I was introduced to “a Place for Mom”. I made the call, and help was there. My Mom in now living at a Skilled Nursing Center, and is doing very well. She got healthier once she moved in, and had her medicine regularly, her meals served and needs taken care of. Below are links for you to start your search. I pray your journey is made easier than mine was…

Caregivers are relatives or paid assistants who consistently provide care for the elderly or people with disabilities. Spouses, friends, parents, or other family members usually take the role of caretakers, and the need for care is many times caused by a major health incident, such as a heart attack, stroke or injury.

Whether you are a caregiver yourself, or you know any affected individuals that need care, here are some relevant caregiver statistics that might inform you about the effect that this often ignored role has on our society.
