All the Creatures

If you have using the internet for more than a year and you are a cat lover then you would have know about Lolcats at icanhascheezburger.com

As you can tell by the photo above the website is about cats. Readers of the blog submit photos and add funny captions. They also have their own little language like “haz” for “has” ect. It is almost like piggin English with words like lipofuze, dat, skoot and lweeok. In fact here is an excerpt of a comment that appears on the site regularly “Dez berri efektiv, Ai can seez wai u savez teh SSSS for teh beeg kyoot-splorts!”

As you can see they have their own form of humor and language. It is so Kwoot!

Until only recently there was no pet store within 40 miles of where I live. Sure we have a super Walmart and several feed stores but they were all sadly lacking in what I might need in the way of supplies for my pets. The local feed store was great on livestock items and feeds but even their dog section was just a few shelves of collars, leashes and rawhide chews.

In many cases I had to resort to buying some pet supplies online. I did find that if I had a large enough purchase, not only would my pet items be cheaper than buying in town but I would save on gas money too. Even with shipping costs on the rise I found out that “free shipping” is often offered to entice me into making a purchase.

We now have a Petco that is only 25 miles away but their prices are often a bit more than I am use to paying for items that I buy online. The internet has me into a discount shopper. I can now find something in a store and then I tell myself “I’ll look online to se if I can get it cheaper”.

This blog does get it’s fair share of link requests to animal sites. Unfortunately most of them are either pushing a product or too local a website (sorry to those that have submitted stables, boarding kennels and local fish store websites) for this blog’s readership. I have gotten requests to link to what at first appeared to be a really good dog website until I found out it had no original content of it’s own just news feeds and lots of ads. News feeds I guess are OK until I found my own work from All the Critters on one. I checked my feed and found out that they had done a cut and paste thing and stole my work! If you have a blog or website you know how much work they are. I don’t mind the first few sentences of my blog post appearing on another site with the words read the rest of the post here as a link. I DO mind when they take the whole post and put it on their blog or website and let people think it is their own work. OK, I’m finished ranting now, back to animal stuff.
