Treats and A Checkup!
Michelle Foster, Rubble’s owner, spared no expense for his birthday. Luckily for her, she didn’t have to spend much. The party took place at the local veterinary clinic and he got a free checkup, treats, balloons, and medication from the staff!
A Match Made In Cat Heaven
Foster took Rubble in as kitten in 1988, and he’s been with her ever since. Interestingly, Foster doesn’t want Rubble to enter the record books. She wants him to live out his old age in peace.
“He is old now and would not like too much attention or be hassled. We would prefer if he was just left to live out his old age in peace.”
The One Thing Pet Owners Regret Not Doing Until It’s Too Late
Is your pet safe?
1 in 3 pets will need emergency veterinary treatment each year and it is estimated a pet receives emergency care every 2.5 seconds in the U.S.
The average cost of treating a broken bone in dogs is $2,700. Cancer treatments? Up to $10,000.
It’s why so many pet owners say their biggest regret isn’t the vet bill—it’s not having pet insurance when they needed it most.
Ask yourself: “If an unexpected $5,000 vet bill hit tomorrow, could I afford it?”
If the answer is no, it’s time to get covered.
Take a look at Lemonade. They have a great app that actually works, they have an instant chatbot that is faster and, dare we say it, friendlier than most companies’ “real” customer service and a quick scroll through Reddit will uncover… people are really vibing with this brand.
So go check them out and take a look. It takes less than a minute.
The Scratchy Ramp family sends Rubble lots of birthday vibes and looks forward to seeing him celebrate his 31st!

80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
