Airline Exclusive for Pets …

There’s been some news on Yahoo Buzz about an airline that i offering airtravel exclusively for pet.

Below is the article from Yahoo Buzz …

When economists say airlines have gone to the dogs, seems one of them took it literally. Pet Airways is only for dogs — and cats — no humans allowed. (Except for the people flying the plane. Although dogs flying planes: That would be cool.)

So far, the airline only travels to a few cities, including New York, D.C. and L.A. In case you’re imagining purebreds curled up in first class while flight attendants serve up filet mignon. . . not quite. The seats of the turbo-props have been removed for pet carriers, although the pets will be checked in at a special pre-boarding pet lounge.

The “pawsengers” (the airline’s term) will be watched over by pet attendants who will be no further away than a cat’s meow. More than we can say about our recent travel experiences. Me-ow.

Well, the airline in question can be found at: www.petairways.com. Right now, the site is offline. According to Pet Airways, the site is down due to a large surge in traffic to it. However, you can follow them on Twitter HERE or their Facebook Fan Page HERE.

So, the next time you want to go on vacation or travel somewhere, your pets can come along too …  :)

Pet Costumes for Your Pet Easter Bunny

Easter will be around in a few weeks time, in April, so what better way to celebrate Easter, other than painting eggs and the usual family activities, to actually dressing up your pets for Easter.

Pet Easter Bunny

1. If you have a pet rabbit, you can dress up your bunny for Easter. You do not need to create fancy costumes, even putting on a cute ribbon on your bunny is sufficient.

2. Of course, you can als decorate your bunny’s cage with some Easter-related decorations like colored egg shells and fancy ribbons.

3. Do ensure that your decorations will not choke your pet rabbit and are safe. Fancy decorations can be made from edible alfalfa grass so that if your bunny bites into it, it would be fine.

4. You can even try to make a nice alfalfa hat for your bunny, too.

If you don’t have a pet rabbit …

1. How about dressing your dog like a bunny – complete with pink fluffy bunny ears. Your dog’s kennel can also be made to look like a rabbit’s hutch.

2. If you have hamsters, you can try decorating their cage for Easter. Actually, its hard to ‘dress up’ your hamsters, as they tend to bite into anything and everything. The most you can usually do is to just decorate its cage.

Well, at the end of the day, whatever activities you do with your pet – whether for Christmas, Easter or just for fun, do ensure that SAFETY OF YOUR PETS COME FIRST.

Having a Pet is Good for Your Health and Well-being

Did you know that keeping a pet or pets is generally good for your health and well-being? Pets can have a calming effect on sufferers of medical conditions. As we all know, stroking a pet cat or dog can exude a feeling of calmness and alleviate depression. A person with a dog to accompany him or her at home and around is much happier and healthier than one who lives alone.

Psychologically pets are less demanding than humans. As long as you provide food and shelter for your pets, they are content. Furry and bigger pets such as a cat or dog seems to have the most calming effect on people as some folks tend to threat them as companions or part of the family.

Cats and dogs also express a variety of reactions through their facial expressions and actions. A happy dog will bark and wag its tail excitedly and can be the source of laughter and joy to its owner. You can take your dog to the park, that is, travel easily with it. A good dog can help guard your home as well. Some dogs can be taught to pick up the morning paper for you or do simple tricks like picking up a small toy.

Of course, if you expect love and care from your dog or cat, you must also treat it with love, care and respect. A happy pet will strive to make its owner happy too. Love your pet unconditionally and you’ll be surprised to find that it too will love you back unconditionally.
