Spunky the stray cat who stole my heart

My cat Spunky stopping to smell the flowers

Spunky was a stray in my neighborhood who jumped in my van while doing a paper route when I was in the sixth grade. I fed and watered him outside I already had 3 cats and you are only supposed to have 3 pets, so 

we tried to keep him on our porch as an outside cat, but when my cat honey came in contact with him we took him to the vet to make sure he didn't have feline leukemia and found out that if he didn't get neutered he would get cancer because 1 of his testicles were inside his belly. So we got him fixed and he became a part of our family, He was always so well behaved, and was getting more lovable all the time. He had trust issues when he first came because the kids in the neighborhood used to throw rocks and sticks at him(at least that's what we have been told)The vet said he was between 3 and 4 when we got him so we figured 3 1/2 April 2nd would have been his birthday and he would have been 11 years old going by the vets estimate but he died in my arms yesterday. The vet said he must have had congestive heart failure. 

Mama loves you Spunky and Misses you very much. So do all your brothers and sisters,  the originals we had when you came to us  Sunshine, Snuggles and Honey, your older sister we rescued after you, Happy and your 2 dogs Roxy and Molly. RIP sweet Spunky boy and have fun in kitty heaven. You were one of the best cats in the world and I will always miss.

You were my Dr. Meow

    You always had the most beautiful green eyes Spunky!

An initiative close to LeLePets heart is giving back to the community. LeLePets donates 1 percent of its annual net sales to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). LeLePets is strongly against animal cruelty and are committed to being part of the solutions. 

LeLePets was founded by two pet lovers, owners and best friends, Tiffany Leung and Joyce Lerman came up with the concept of LeLePets. They realized there was a missing piece in the flash sale world and that our dogs, cats, birds, horses and other animal family members were not being offered the type of discounts on design inspired pet products that we were seeing for ourselves. The duo, with backgrounds in design and e-commerce, launched LeLePets in response. What’s their secret to success? Tiffany’s determination to search for design orientated pet products while Joyce seeks the most affordable prices allows LeLePets to offer you one of kind products at affordable prices.

Purex Lets Be Honest Giveaway Ends July 19

My favorite Laundry Detergent is Purex. Not only is it less expensive then most laundry detergents, it also works great. They have many different varieties to choose from, I especially love the Triple Action detergents which get out all the worst stains including pet stains. If you have pets I am sure you have had a pet sick on a blanket or sheets and need a detergent that will get out all those horrible stains, trust me Purex is the best detergent I have ever used. Purex Natural Elements is my very favorite, when I wash my sheet in it my dog Roxy absolutely loves it and some how she ends up smelling like linens and lilies or apple and melon, don't have a clue how but somehow the wonderful scents somehow get on her from her doing her happy dance on the freshly washed sheets.  I am a Purex Insider and from time to time receive coupons to try new purex products and to giveaway to my wonderful readers. Purex has some humorous videos Let's Be Honest. My very favorite is Deep clean

I use positive reinforcement with treats, toys and praise. Roxy knows many commands and tricks and very well behaved. Molly doesn't know as much as Roxy yet but she is very well behaved. Beethoven needs to work on all kinds of things as he is still a puppy and hasn't been with me long. He does know how to sit and lay down on command now.  I am still working on many things with him but I know eventually he will be just as well behaved as the girls. (At least I hope so)
