Which one should we sponsor? It's going to be a difficult choice, hoping you all will help us! We had originally decided that we'd sponsor Mopsy after reading about her, however, she has found a home! A lady at the SPCA told me that Mopsy used to always hide in the corner when visitors came. But one day this man came and Mopsy came right out to greet him and he took her home! It was so nice to hear that So, which of the 4 dogs and one cat should we sponsor?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/MerryChristmasEveryone/cmrpq/post.htmTue, 25 Dec 2012 06:58:57 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/MerryChristmasEveryone/cmrpq/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/MerryChristmasEveryone/cmrpq/post.htmMerry Christmas everyone!

Please watch and spread the awareness. At 36:15, there's an interview with a veterinarian who raises concerns about genetically modified corn and soybeans in pet food being the primal cause of lots of health issues cats and dogs suffer from.http://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyWorldAnimalDay/clblq/post.htmThu, 04 Oct 2012 12:22:42 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyWorldAnimalDay/clblq/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyWorldAnimalDay/clblq/post.htmI've just learnt that today, 4th October, is a special day called World Animal Day!

I mean, there are really a lot of talks about how cruel people can be sometimes and that it has to be changed. But let's look at Mother Nature itself: there are always hunters and the hunted and the weakest are always dead, a lion can kill another lion's cubs (when a new leader comes), spiders eat each other, as well as mantises and many others, the world of meerkats is way too cruel too (unwanted newborns must be killed by their own mom, or both the mom and her cubs will be banished from the clan and die anyway)... I can go on but I guess these examples are enough. So the question is, perhaps cruelty is the normal state of things and people will never...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyInternationalCatDay/cjmph/post.htmSat, 25 Aug 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyInternationalCatDay/cjmph/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HappyInternationalCatDay/cjmph/post.htmI've just learnt that today, 1st March, is an International Cat Day in Russia. I don't quite understand why it's called "international" while we seem the only ones that "celebrate" it but whatever! I hope kitties from all over the world will have a bit of fun and treats today. That's interesting: World Cats Day is celebrated in the USA on October 29th, in Russia on March 1st, and in Poland on February 17th. Wikipedia says the World Cat Day is on August 8th. Isn't it all a bit confusing?

I've tried to search for organic food suppliers and stores in Moscow, and I found them. However, the prices there are just inhumane! I've heard organic food is more expensive, so I did expect it to be more expensive. I was psychologically ready to pay. But what I saw was a little too much in my opinion. For example, 10 eggs cost about 0.75 to 1.25 €. 10 organic eggs cost 4.75 €. 1 L cow milk costs 1 to 1.5 €. 1 L organic cow milk is 3 €. 1 kg beef cost 10 €. 1 kg organic beef of the same kind is 32.5 €. I've realized we just cannot afford eating organic food every day. It can only be an occasional "delicacy", which...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/BeingVegetarian/chqph/post.htmTue, 25 Sep 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/BeingVegetarian/chqph/post.htmcaliciahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/BeingVegetarian/chqph/post.htmAre any of you vegitarian?

I saw a cute dog and I wanted to take a photo. The owner, the lady with the dog: " Are you taking pictures? " Me: " Yes, Madam, but of the dog ". Her: Oh, no, please, don't take pictures of my dog! Have you already taken pictures of it? Me: yes, one. Her: Please, delete it! She comes towards me and wants to see the picture. I showed her my cell phone and I deleted the picture I had already taken of her dog. I was listening to music. I raised the volume in order to not hear anymore what she is saying and went away. I was disappointed Maybe she was right, the dog is hers and if she doesn't want someone takes pictures of her or her dog, it's okay, obviously. I shouldn't. I took soo many pictures of so...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/SleepingDog/cjqzn/post.htmSun, 25 Nov 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/SleepingDog/cjqzn/post.htmsherlok11http://mysmelly.com/Archive/SleepingDog/cjqzn/post.htmGuys my friend just send this to me and I'm sure you gotta love it too! I wonder if this story was real or just a joke! An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks. Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/NaturalMosquitoRepellant/cjmkw/post.htmSat, 25 Aug 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/NaturalMosquitoRepellant/cjmkw/post.htmVictor Cathttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/NaturalMosquitoRepellant/cjmkw/post.htmSo i've heard that air fresheners and the likes are unhealthy for humans and animals, but what about those mosquito repellant tablets? Some brands smell very strong to the point where i end up switching them off coz i cant stand the stink. I have decided to look for natural repellants but cant seem to find anything that looks promising. Do any of you do anything that works?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/AlternativesAnimalTesting/cjnqb/post.htmThu, 25 Oct 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/AlternativesAnimalTesting/cjnqb/post.htmJanishttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/AlternativesAnimalTesting/cjnqb/post.htmHello all! I've just voted in a poll Ruslana started here: [link] and it made me think. What alternatives to animal testing do we really have? Are there any? I'm a bit ignorant of this matter but I'd love to discuss it and perhaps learn something new.http://mysmelly.com/Archive/JustAThought/cjmjx/post.htmTue, 25 Sep 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/JustAThought/cjmjx/post.htmAnnamariannahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/JustAThought/cjmjx/post.htmI was just thinking. Imagine our cats are on a healthy raw diet, with no fillers and no dye and flavor substances, and we don't give them anything potentially harmful like spicy or sweet food. Don't you then get the feeling they are on a much more healthier diet than ourselves?? I just find it slightly weird that we may care about a cat's diet so much while we ourselves may keep eating... junk foods. I reckon the principles of healthy diets are the same for pets and people and if we choose to quality feed our pets we have to do it ourselves too! That would be consistent at least.http://mysmelly.com/Archive/PollAnimalsSenseHumour/cwgpw/post.htmSun, 25 Nov 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/PollAnimalsSenseHumour/cwgpw/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/PollAnimalsSenseHumour/cwgpw/post.htmWhat do you think?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/EarthBelieve/cjkkb/post.htmThu, 25 Oct 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/EarthBelieve/cjkkb/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/EarthBelieve/cjkkb/post.htmThis video gives me the goosebumps whenever I watch it!http://mysmelly.com/Archive/SomeFreezersWarm/cjkzb/post.htmSat, 25 Aug 2012 01:52:29 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/SomeFreezersWarm/cjkzb/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/SomeFreezersWarm/cjkzb/post.htmThis morning I realized that the temperature in our freezer is higher than that outside, that's -20°C vs -24°C respectively.
