Rooster Rustler Busted

Ashton: You are SO busted, Pierre. What are you doing to my rooster? That was for my chicken emporium!

Pierre: You don’t understand, I’m totally innocent, Ashton.

Pierre: There was an earthquake. Newton saw it, so he will be able to be a witness. It was so hard it made me fall down, and it knocked the barn right off its foundation! And it killed the rooster, too.

Pierre: Really, that’s what happened to your rooster.

Pierre and the Rooster

Pierre: I made Newton leave the rooster in the barn. He’s all mine now!

Newton: What are you doing to that chicken?

Pierre: It’s a rooster. And could you just look the other way for a few minutes?

Newton: Are you KISSING that chicken?

Pierre: It’s a rooster, and no. Besides, I told you to look the other way.

Newton: Do you think the chicken tastes funny?

Pierre: * SIGH * You really know how to take the fun out of things, Newton. No, I think the rooster tastes just fine.

Newton: You look like you’re getting a little carried away.

Pierre: If you don’t shut up, I’ll carry you away.

Ashton: Do I hear eating noises? There had better not be someone eating and not sharing with me!

Ashton: What are you DOING?

Newton: I tried to warn you!

The Dreaded Dingleberry Problem

Ashton: Oh, boy, Newton.

Newton: What are you doing back there?

Ashton: You’ve got a dingleberry back here. You better not sit on the bed like this or you’re going to be in trouble.

Newton: This is so embarrassing.

Part of having plush fur like Newton means that sometimes dingleberries hang on while he’s taking care of his business in the litter box. And Newton is right, dingleberries can be really embarrassing, not to mention messy if they make it to the furniture.

That means when you see a dingleberry, you’d better take action to clean it up in a hurry.

That’s where earthbath tushy wipes come in.

Before nice people at earthbath sent earthbath tushy wipes for review, I always reached for a baby wipe when there was a dingleberry alert in the house. But products made for babies aren’t meant for cats. For something to be safe for a baby, there are different considerations than there are for cats. Babies don’t lick themselves all over, after all.

So I was pretty excited that instead of being a baby wipe, earthbath tushy wipes are intended for use on pets. They’re safe, and they don’t have a bunch of scary-sounding, unpronounceable chemicals in them. The baby wipes I had in the house included ingredients which can irritate skin and even cause carcinogenic effects with long-term use. I don’t want Newton licking a chemical like that!

I didn’t have to worry about Newton grooming his fur after I used the earthbath wipes to clean up his dingleberry. The most unpronounceable chemical in the wipes is saccharomyces ferment filtrate, a type of yeast that helps neutralize unpleasant odors.

Also unlike thin baby wipes, earthbath wipes are thick and textured, so your fingers are safe from the dingleberries when you’re cleaning them off.

Earthbath Tushy Wipes

Newton: Look, everyone! No dingleberries! Thanks, earthbath!

A Costume for Our Site

Newton: Hey, our site is wearing a costume for Halloween!

Ashton: That’s not a Halloween costume. That’s the reason the head peep was at the computer so much recently and used a lot of HBO words. It’s the new theme for our site. She says it’s better for everybody who visits us on their mobile devices, especially phones.

Newton: People come to visit us on their phone? How do they do that? Did you see how hard it was to stand on the iPad?

Ashton: Sorry, I wasn’t really looking. I was hanging out with my new boyfriend. He’s kind of sweet on me. Do you think I should play hard to get like I do on vet day?

Have a safe and happy Halloween, friends!
