Posh Krivcher has got to be one of the youngest guests in our Featured Pet series but in her first year of life – and five vacations at the Cat Cottage – this Siamese kitten has charmed our entire staff. She first came for a brief overnight when she was only a few months old, then came back for a longer visit for Thanksgiving last year and that was when we fell in love.
The best things in life are not only functional, but stylish. These raised pet bowls, made from molded high quality polypropylene provide a perfectly ergonomic feeding position for all dogs with the front being lower than the back of the bowl. This is an added bonus for “senior” pets. Also, each leg has a rubber stopper which prevents sliding as well as protects your floor.

Training treats are great for getting Fido to roll over, sit, and stay. But sometimes men can be more difficult. As Father’s Day approaches, keep the man in your life in mind with these gourmet buttery toffee hard candies. We can’t make any guarantees, but it’s just possible that, with these goodies, you’ll help your guy turn over a new leaf.
If you happen to be at The Farm, out by the Barnyard, on a sunny morning and see a tiny Jack Russell Terrier running laps with the enthusiasm of a 2-year old, that would be frequent guest, Molly Parton……and, despite appearances, Molly is over 16 years old.
She loves ice cream! Vanilla and Strawberry is her favorite! Since we are working out of town several days each week, she also has now a family away from home and that is her Farm at Natchez Trace with all the wonderful employees who give her just as much love as we do at home. We thank The Lord that she has such a wonderful long life and we hope and pray she can still be around for a long while and longer.”
