How To Celebrate National Black Cat Day October 27th

The Halloween season is well underway and something that goes hand in hand is National Black Cat Day.  Kind of a double whammy as of late as Friday the 13th of October was recently celebrated. Black Cats sometimes seem to get a bad rap for being unlucky.

When it comes to superstitions, one of the oldest is that crossing paths with a black cat will bring bad luck. The dark-colored felines have also been folded into modern Halloween symbols, giving them an unfair reputation for being bad. They’re good luck in many cultures.  In Scotland, it’s lucky for a black cat to arrive at your doorstep. In Japan, black cats are thought to help single women find their soulmate.  A lot of superstitions out there, but most of the world acknowledges black cats as cute—not creepy.

National Black Cat Day is on  October 27th.  This year it falls on a Friday, providing a great time to support and promote the positivity of black cats.

Names are Felix, Charlie & the latest to the family named Trixi.

The Trials And Tribulations Of Having A Rescue Dog

All my life every one of my pets has been a rescue pet. From dogs to cats, birds, and even fish. Just have a soft spot for animals. This loveable dog came into our life as its previous owner could not handle the dog as the owner was pregnant and the dog was always jumping up on her. It was too much for the family to control. This is when Jet became part of our family at the Screamin' Ranch.

Jett is a Lab Sheppard mix with tons of energy that we thought we could handle. Jett is about one year old and I can't wait for the terrible two's that are coming. The saying goes, " If you have one pet you have a family. Two or more pets and you are a referee." In total as of this writer's deadline, we have 3 pets and awaiting one more rescue kitty cat from a co-worker. My problem is they are all girls.

 A lot of work raising a dog with so much energy.  Anything she does wrong that sad puppy dog face gets me every time.  Jett has been with us for just about one year. Without any further ado, I would like to show you our feature presentation of Jett's greatest hits of destruction. The Trials And Tribulations Of Having A Rescue Dog

Not one but both of my favorite Archie Bunker La-Z-Boy chairs were destroyed in less than a few hours while I was at work on the radio. Still have yet to be replaced. I miss them so much. Did not know there was so much foam that went into a chair.

This is Jett the Rock Dog in her latest quest. To eat a kitchen screen window. Had left the house on a Sunday night to go to DQ for an ice cream cone. As I pulled out the driveway I looked at Jett looking at me in the window. Something told me it doesn't seem right to leave. But I said to myself it will be ok I will only be gone for a few mins. (Famous last words.)

When you have a one-year-old dog it doesn't look for trouble it creates trouble. One of many fine-dug holes in the backyard.

R.I.P. to my hot tub this year. Tried to keep this classic hot tub running and it did not help that Jett the Rock Dog ate the side panels.

This one baffles me how and why Jett the Rock Dog would bite the wall in the bathroom?

Jett the Rock Dog did not like the taste of a hot dryer hose but the bite tells the story.

Lesson learned, never leave your records unattended. Jett the Rock Dog still has great taste in music.

Now in the on-deck circle is Jett The Rock Dog cutting or should I say biting corners off the backyard deck.

Dog owners all agree they need to invent a indestructible chew toy for dogs. So far nothing is a match for even a few mins with Jett The Rock Dog.
