It's Past My Bedtime, But .....

It is waaaaay past my bedtime, but the computer station located above my bed where I'm hangin' out with the vet techs tonight just beeped. One of them started ooohing and ahhhing. The photos taken of me are in!!!!

I think they caught my good side in this one. Whaddaya think???

Time for this Queen to get some more beauty sleep.......

Yoda Is Jealous

Yoda, this pretentious Himalayan in the feline recovery ward, is rather jealous of my blog. Heh.

More about him later.

My Pretty Picture Taken For Noah's Ark Grand Opening

Have had a nice warm morning. MMMMmmmm....my pillow under the vet tech station is a pretty comfortable place!

Two guys were in yesterday taking my picture. One tried to get me to smile, get me to perk up, another whistled to get my attention. I just gave them a look. "Don't you see I'm not going to move for you?" I wanted to ask them. I haven't seen the results yet.

They were here doing some work leading up to Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital's Grand Opening celebration that starts on February 8 and concludes two weeks from today on Valentine's Day, February 14. Click on the NAVH website and check out the schedule of events. The Dublin Police Department will be doing demonstrations with its K-9 unit, there are going to be discussions about new puppies and new kittens, and what to expect when you bring them home.

Even info on how to choose a pet. If you ask me, it would be awesome if we animals could pick who we want to go home with. But then I've got a reputation of being kind of aloof, kind of indifferent. Sure, give me a warm lap and someone petting me and I'm pretty content. But I won't get off my pillow for just anyone! LOL

Oh, off to get a biscuit and some nap time........

It's Going To Be Cold Tonight!

Hey please remember to bring your pets in tonight, and any night when the temperature drops down pretty low.

Its going to be uber cold out around here...about 13. Not as cold as a few weeks ago, but frigid enough. The cold isn't good for animals, especially us smaller pampered ones. I should know! We can get chilled a lot faster. If there is snow and ice where you live, be sure to check the paws of your pet if they've been outside. No matter how big or small they are. Animals can get frostbite too!

If you have an outside pet, make sure they have plenty of straw or other bedding material that will help reflect their own body heat! Thankfully, its pretty warm here this evening at Noah's Ark. In fact, the staff around here kind of laughs because they say I rarely leave my cushy bed. Be honest....Would you if you had a choice???!!!

Hey, did you check out the big storm moving across Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina? Some of the humans here at Noah's Ark were watching it today on radar. Way cool!

BTW, if the sky is clear where you live tonight, you'll get to see a full moon! Native Americans have long called the January full moon the "Bear Moon." I'll try to take a peek later. And speaking of bears, have you heard about Lily? She is a black bear living in Northern Minnesota near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Some really smart people who help bear conservation put a webcam just outside her den. Tens of thousands of new fans, including me, from all over the world have been tuning in to watch her while she's in hibernation.

Lily has been pretty active though recently. You know why? She had a baby cub just last weekend! If you want to catch the show, click to Lily's Den Cam. The cub is about the size of a stick of butter. Lily is wrapped around it keeping it warm. The temperature has been below zero up there a lot. If you turn on your sound, there is a microphone on the "den cam" so you can hear Lily scratching, and the cub nursing and crying out. Don't be surprised if you see Lily's back. She is sleeping a lot more now. I sooooooooooo get that!

Yawwwwnnnnnnnnn ..... okay, off to get another biscuit and grab another nap.

I've Got A Blog! I've Got A Blog!

Konnichiwa!!!

My name is Yushay and this is my first post in what I hope will be a really cool blog! The reason I said hi in Japanese is because I am a Pekingese/Japanese Chin mix. Oh yeah...and I'm a dog, in case you haven't seen my pic yet. I'm still figuring out the keyboard here too. Sometimes my paw hits more than one key at a time. Frustrating, but you get used to it.

Anyway, I spend a lot of time at Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital, , a 24/7 emergency pet hospital in Dublin, Ohio. Dublin is in the central part of Ohio northwest of Columbus, and is a really awesome place to live. There are golf courses everyplace you look! My owner is Renee, a really neat lady who has been working with rescue animals for more than 30 years. She and her friends saved my life. No lie!

I also want to give a shout out to all the great vet docs and techs here at Yushay's....er, I mean, Noah's Ark. Heh....(wishful thinking). They are great!

I hope Yushay's Ark will be a journal of life here and the stuff I see, the funnier (and more serious) things that happen in a vet hospital, dealing with humans, my favorite napping positions, pet adoption and rescue stories, and more. Come by anytime! If I'm sleeping, give me a wide berth!

Yawwwwnnnnnn.....okay, off to get a biscuit and grab a nap.
