***Please comment, rate and subscribe!*** Visit Melvin’s website at www.mouchois.com As the disclaimer says, this does not happen often. In fact, Zoey is not a fan of baths. Thankfully, by bathing her with all of the other animals that don’t seem to mind baths, she did just fine and was actually playing with the cup at one point. They all rolled in something while we were away when they escaped into the garage and they all smelled TERRIBLE. Before I get any idiotic comments about bathing cats, remember that cats groom themselves, but don’t clean themselves. Leaving a very smelly and sticky substance on them would be more harm than five minutes in the bathtub. Also, Melvin really does not mind having baths (a good thing with the amount of poop that gets on his tail). This bath was more of a soak in a nice smelling shampoo than anything, as Zoey is deathly afraid of the shower noise. They were all soaped up and rinsed well and dried off after their bath was done. MAKE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING Melvin was born a “teacup” Himalayan with a form of dwarfism causing several health problems. He is blind in his right eye, hence why it is not dilated the same as the left one. He also has seizures, heart problems and growth retardation. Since this video was made he has grown quite a bit and is now happy and healthy.

Ruff maintains that pizza is as healthy as tofu salad, while Blossom, his cat intern, insists that it’s not. While looking in the phone book for a pizza caterer to prove his hypothesis, he runs across a cat adoption service. Hmmm… Can he put Blossom up for adoption? Wheels turning, Ruff sends Mike and Nina to a school to make healthy pizzas, and Bridget and Madi head out to an animal shelter. Can the kids make a healthy pizza? And is Ruff secretly trying to find Blossom a new home? Video Rating: 5 / 5
Last week BJ inhaled a foxtail, he had to be taken to an emergency clinic, where they had to put him under & remove it from his nasal passage. Please watch this video. Since this happened I’ve had two friends tell me their foxtail story – one dog had a limp after her walkie, the embedded foxtail was only detected with a microscope by the vet & removed…another dog had one embedded in the ear canal. This vid is only to bring this potential hazard to the attention of pet owners, please, for the sake of your fur friend – follow the provided link & read more about plants that produce spikelets. I am here to tell you that not only is this a threat to your dog or cat’s health, but can end up being expensive to treat…I wish I’d known before purchasing two of these plants & putting BJ at risk. Beyond the expense, there is the recovery discomfort of the animal…BJ had to take 3 different medications, antibiotics & nose drops twice a day. So, on top of feeling like crap – he had to wrestle with us insisting he was fine & didn’t need pills & liquids jammed down his throat!

On July 6th Flippy was put to sleep His health problems got the better of him. For the last few months we had been treating him for renal failure, which he handled well….However in his last day, Flippy was suffering from heart issues and could not move around much without tiring. We had blood work and an x-ray performed, which also showed a large mass in his tummy. It was time to let him go… Thanks for all of your supportive comments. Members of Flippy’s family have been trying to read them (there are so many!). He will be missed when not starring in future videos here. Video Rating: 4 / 5
