### Adding a feed parsing class
|
118
118
|
|
119
|
+
When determining which parser to use for a given XML document, the following
|
120
|
+
list of parser classes is used:
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::RSSFeedBurner`
|
123
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::GoogleDocsAtom`
|
124
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::AtomFeedBurner`
|
125
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::Atom`
|
126
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::ITunesRSS`
|
127
|
+
* `Feedzirra::Parser::RSS`
|
128
|
+
|
129
|
+
You can insert your own parser at the front of this stack by calling
|
130
|
+
`add_feed_class`, like this:
|
131
|
+
|
119
132
|
```ruby
|
120
|
-
|
121
|
-
|
133
|
+
Feedzirra::Feed.add_feed_class MyAwesomeParser
|
134
|
+
```
|
135
|
+
|
136
|
+
Now when you `fetch_and_parse`, `MyAwesomeParser` will be the first one to get a
|
137
|
+
chance to parse the feed.
|
138
|
+
|
139
|
+
If you have the XML and just want to provide a parser class for one parse, you
|
140
|
+
can specify that using `parse_with`:
|
141
|
+
|
142
|
+
```ruby
|
143
|
+
Feedzirra::Feed.parse_with MyAwesomeParser, xml
|
122
144

```

The abundance of noise and chaos agitates our very sensitive Great Dane, Shakespeare, to the point that he jumps up on folks, paces back and forth, and barks for no apparent reason. A super time to test <a href="http://www.petco.com/product/109324/Sentry-Calming-Collar-for-Dogs.aspx" target="_blank" title="Sentry Calming Collar for dogs">Sentry's Calming Collar for dogs</a>!</p>
|

<p><strong>The claim:</strong> Sentry claims that the collar helps dogs in fearful or stressful situations (separation anxiety, fireworks, thunderstorms, visitors, new baby, traveling, pulling on leash, whining, chewing, aggression, incessant barking). The collar mimics pheromones that mother dogs produce to calm and reassure her puppies. The collar releases pheromones for up to 30 days and is non-toxic. </p>
|
31
|
+
<p>Watch the <strong><em>Science Behind the Pheromones</em></strong> video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEDGdvwEp60&feature=relmfu">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEDGdvwEp60&feature=relmfu</a></p>
|
32
|
+
<p><strong>The test:</strong> Upon opening the collar's packaging I was greeted with the pleasing scent of lavender and chamomile. There was quite a bit of powdery residue that fell from the collar when we first opened it which the box states activates the "pheromone technology." The generous 28" collar fit easily around Shakey's neck with collar to spare which we snipped off with scissors.</p>
|
33
|
+
<p>The following day, as family members began pouring through the door, we paid close attention to Shakespeare's behavior waiting for the jumping, pacing and barking to begin, "when much to our wondering eyes did appear" a very calm and shockingly stress-free pup. Even our 3 year old granddaughter's boisterous behavior failed to get so much as a twitch out of our gentle giant. We were simply amazed!</p>
|
34
|
+
<p><strong>Final word:</strong> We found the <a href="http://www.petco.com/product/109324/Sentry-Calming-Collar-for-Dogs.aspx" target="_blank" title="Sentry Calming Collar for dogs">Sentry Calming Collar for dogs</a> did live up to its claim to calm our fretful, furry family member and would strongly recommend it to anyone with a fearful or anxious pup. </p>
|
35
|
+
<p><strong>Where to buy:</strong> The Sentry Calming Collar for dogs can be purchased in-store and online at most pet supply retail stores including <a href="http://www.petco.com/product/109324/Sentry-Calming-Collar-for-Dogs.aspx" target="_blank" title="Sentry Calming Collar for dogs">Petco.com</a> for $9.99.</p>

|
37
|
+
Sentry Calming Collar and one lucky reader will win a $50.00 donation from

While it's not the same strain of flu virus that humans contract, it's just as serious and worthy of special shout-out to my followers.</p>
|
127
|
+
<p><strong>About dog flu</strong></p>
|
128
|
+
<ul>
|
129
|
+
<li>Canine Influenza is a very serious threat to dogs and its symptoms can easily be confused with <em>Bordetella </em>(canine cough).</li>
|
130
|
+
<li>Canine
|
131
|
+
influenza only affects dogs and cannot be passed to humans.</li>
|
132
|
+
<li>The
|
133
|
+
virus that causes flu in dogs—canine influenza virus (CIV) H3N8—was first
|
134
|
+
identified in January 2004. Dog flu cases have now been reported in 39 states. </li>
|
135
|
+
<li>Because
|
136
|
+
most dogs have no natural immunity against CIV, virtually all dogs exposed to
|
137
|
+
the virus become infected.</li>
|
138
|
+
</ul>
|
139
|
+
<p><strong>Risk factors for dogs</strong></p>
|
140
|
+
<ul>
|
141
|
+
<li>Just
|
142
|
+
like <em>Bordetella</em>, dogs that spend time
|
143
|
+
at boarding facilities, doggy daycares, groomers, dog parks, and group training
|
144
|
+
are at a high risk of contracting canine influenza.</li>
|
145
|
+
<li>Many
|
146
|
+
facilities that require vaccination against <em>Bordetella</em>
|
147
|
+
(canine cough) are beginning to see the benefit of also requiring vaccination
|
148
|
+
against canine influenza. </li>
|
149
|
+
</ul>
|
150
|
+
<p><strong>Symptoms</strong></p>
|
151
|
+
<ul>
|
152
|
+
<li>The
|
153
|
+
most common sign of dog flu is a soft, wet cough that may last for 3 to 4
|
154
|
+
weeks. Other signs include fever, runny nose, fatigue, and loss of appetite.</li>
|
155
|
+
<li>Like
|
156
|
+
human flu, dog flu can lead to more serious conditions like pneumonia. Up to 8%
|
157
|
+
of dogs that get the flu can die from the infection.</li>
|
158
|
+
<li>Recognizing
|
159
|
+
the signs of dog flu is not enough to prevent spreading the disease.
|
160
|
+
<ul>
|
161
|
+
<li>About
|
162
|
+
20% of infected dogs will show no signs of disease but can still spread CIV to
|
163
|
+
other dogs.</li>
|
164
|
+
<li>By the time a CIV-infected dog shows signs
|
165
|
+
of illness, the dog is likely to have stopped spreading the virus.
|
166
|
+
<ul>
|
167
|
+
<li>Prior to showing
|
168
|
+
signs of illness, dogs can spread CIV to surrounding objects, which become
|
169
|
+
sources of infection, as well as directly to other dogs.</li>
|
170
|
+
<li>Dog flu cannot be diagnosed by signs
|
171
|
+
alone. A veterinarian will need to perform blood tests to determine
|
172
|
+
if a dog has the flu.<strong> <br /></strong></li>
|

<p><strong>How you can protect your dog against the flu</strong></p>
|
179
|
+
<ul>
|
180
|
+
<li>Vaccinating
|
181
|
+
your pet is the best way to protect him/her against CIV.</li>
|
182
|
+
<li>The
|
183
|
+
first CIV vaccine approved in 2009, Nobivac<sup>®</sup> Canine Flu H3N8 from Merck
|
184
|
+
Animal Health,
|
185
|
+
has been shown to reduce the spread of disease among dogs.</li>
|
186
|
+
<li>Owners
|
187
|
+
should talk to their veterinarians and see if their dog’s lifestyle merits
|
188
|
+
vaccination.</li>

We've bombed with a variety of cat toys but it was a happy day indeed when my daughter brought home an A-Door-able kitty toy to amuse them.</p>

Scout and Atty went absolutely bonkers over this thing. I couldn't believe how long it kept their attention. The first time I put it up they must have played with it for over an hour.</p>
|
221
|
+
<p>The little toy hangs at the end of an adjustable elastic cord and makes a rattling sound when bounced. We have the mouse but I see that the octopus and bird are catnip scented. We'll have to try one of those next!</p>

Occasionally I have to retrieve it from the top of the microwave. I kind of wish it squeaked but I suppose that would drive me crazy after about 20 minutes. It also has a breakaway safety clip which I think is an absolutely awesome feature!</p>

ventilation all the way around the carrier, a shoulder strap and carry handle,

<p>The Boogie Mat is a fun splash of color with whimsical designs that makes me smile even though I'm knee deep in kitty litter clumps. At 13" by 16½" it's small enough to toss from spot to spot yet large enough to protect my couch while Indy indulges in a little catnap.<br /><br />Indy loves the crinkly sound it makes as she walks across it or rolls around on it and the aroma of the Zoom Around the Room Organic Catnip (included) provides the pièce de ré·sis·tance. Our new rescue kittens are still learning the lay of the land but I suspect they'll conspire to steal the Boogie Mat from big sister once they're settled in.</p>

cranky.  She is not usually interested in anything, but she loves this

<p>It has a zipper on the side where

you put in the catnip and it makes a crinkling sound when she steps on

it.  </p>

<p>She plays with it, sleeps on it, and protects it from the dogs in our

be the catnip!!  We will definitely keep this around filled with fresh catnip!!"</p>

|

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;">It was a good day when we
|
340
|
+
received the <a href="http://www.solvitproducts.com/products-ls798_1_ls-i87_i.aspx" target="_blank" title="Solvit Kitty'scape">Solvit Kitty’scape Deluxe Cat Tower</a>.  The unique thing about the Kitty’scape
|
341
|
+
concept is that its parts can be assembled in a variety of ways. You can have a
|
342
|
+
wide structure or can build a tower that reaches up over five feet.  </span></p>
|
343
|
+
<p><a href="http://www.thepetonline.com/cat-furniture-c-550.html?osCsid=72927e7dd316a855004432ab2c5d7e63" style="float: left;" target="_blank"><img alt="Atticus chillin' on the Kitty'scape" src="http://www.obama-dog.com/.a/6a010535222d03970c017ee3b9f523970d-150wi" style="width: 140px; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" title="Atticus chillin' on the Kitty'scape" /></a><span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;">We had fun with the Kitty’scape. First we
|
344
|
+
experimented with building a low, wide structure, but then we changed it into a
|
345
|
+
tall tower. Our kittens, Atticus and Scout LOVE their Kitty’scape Cat Tower!
|
346
|
+
They especially enjoy the penthouse canopy at the top of the structure, as well
|
347
|
+
as the higher platforms. <br /></span></p>
|
348
|
+
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;">
|
349
|
+
This is an excellent quality
|
350
|
+
product. The parts are stout plastic or wood, and clearly well made. They all
|
351
|
+
fit together properly, and everything was in the box that was supposed to be.
|
352
|
+
Our Kitty’scape Deluxe Cat Tower was easy to assemble and everything we hoped
|
353
|
+
it would be. It was fun to be creative with how we put it together. <br /></span></p>

|
356
|
+
design for a cat play structure, and was easy to assemble.  Comparatively, <a href="priced" target="_blank" title="Solvit Products">Solvit Kitty’scape products</a>
|
357
|
+
are quite competitive in price. We tested the deluxe kit, which retails for
|
358
|
+
$150. You can also get the Intermediate Kit for around $105 and the Basic Kit
|
359
|
+
for around $75. If you wish, you can get other accessories, such as the
|
360
|
+
Scratching Plate and the Adventure Bridge, the Hammock, and a variety of other
|
361
|
+
expansion parts. <br /></span></p>
|
362
|
+
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;">This is a fun product that is competitively </span>priced<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;">, of good quality and most important, FUN for your cats!
|
363
|
+
Atticus and Scout recommend it heartily!</span></p>

<p>As another season of the <a href="http://tvblogs.nationalgeographic.com/blog/dog-whisperer/" target="_blank" title="Dog Whisperer blog">Dog Whisperer</a> comes to a close we thank our
|
411
|
+
lucky liver treats for Cesar's serene supervision as we delved deeper
|
412
|
+
into the canine psyche. Only two episodes left and we're here to tell you that they were worth the wait!</p>
|
413
|
+
<p>Tonight's episode, "Hollywood Hounds" features fitness guru, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.jillianmichaels.com" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Jillian Michaels (personal trainer)">Jillian Michaels</a>, and her <a href="http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/chihuahua" target="_blank" title="Chihuahua Breed Profile">Chihuahua</a>, Richard, who is in desparate need of a mental "chill pill." Jillian is in the process of adopting a two year old daughter and doesn't want to fear for her new babe's safety around her pup.</p>
|
414
|
+
<p>Next we visit <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.kelseylive.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Kelsey Grammer">Kelsey Grammer</a> and his wife, Kayte, whose dogs, Elvis and George, have a propensity for pottying indoors rather than dirtying their outdoor play-space. Will Cesar be able to save the day <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span> the carpet?</p>
|
415
|
+
<p>In next Saturday's episode, "Cesar's Worst Bite," Cesar comes face to face with Holly, a <a href="http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/labrador-retriever" target="_blank" title="Labrador Retriever Breed Profile">Lab</a> pup with some serious food aggression issues. Cesar learns first-hand just how dangerous this pooch's problem is when he is rushed to the hospital after sustaining a bad bite. </p>
|
416
|
+
<p>In Cesar's next case we meet Lenie, pregnant and homeless, with an opportunity to make a fresh start courtesty of a women's shelter that is willing to take-in her and her beloved <a href="http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/american-pit-bull-terrier" target="_blank" title="American Pit Bull Terrier Breed Profile">Pit Bull</a>, Tucker. But will Tucker's protective nature keep Lenie from making a better life for her and her unborn baby? Can the <a href="http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/nat-geo-wild/full-episodes-1/dog-whisperer-1/" target="_blank" title="Dog Whisperer Videos">Dog Whisperer</a> work his magic and keep this family together?</p>
|
417
|
+
<p>Tune in to <a href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/dog-whisperer/" target="_blank" title="The Dog Whisperer on Nat Geo Wild">Nat Geo Wild</a> tonight, September 8th, and next Saturday, September 15th, for the exciting, final installments of our favorite Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan!</p></div>

<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.mythreecats.com/products/bolt-laser-interactive-cat-toy-new" style="float: left;" target="_blank"><img alt="FroliCat BOLT Laser Toy from MyThreeCats.com" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a010535222d03970c017744706ede970d" src="http://www.obama-dog.com/.a/6a010535222d03970c017744706ede970d-200wi" style="width: 200px; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" title="FroliCat BOLT Laser Toy from MyThreeCats.com" /></a><a href="http://www.mythreecats.com/products/bolt-laser-interactive-cat-toy-new" target="_blank" title="BOLT Interactive Laser Toy">BOLT</a> is one of the best names they could have come up with for this toy.  I have two extremely playful cats and when they hear me tap on the laser and call their names they come running.

They literally  Bolt from their naps and start chasing the little red pin
|
449
|
+
point laser everywhere.</p>
|
450
|
+
<p>You can place it anywhere, turn on the timer and let it go.  I especially  like the tilt-able mirror which changes the height of the laser.  When it is on high they jump from one chair to another and on low they slide all over the wooden floors trying to catch the dot!</p>
|
451
|
+
<p>I really like having the option of either holding the <a href="http://www.mythreecats.com/products/bolt-laser-interactive-cat-toy-new" target="_blank" title="BOLT Interactive Laser Toy">BOLT Laser Toy</a> in my hand to manipulate the laser dot or setting the 15 minute timer.</p>
|
452
|
+
<p>The only suggestion I would make would be to not place it on the floor and leave.  The cats are so curious they just want to get up close and see the laser which is not good for their eyes! It is definitely worth buying as it is sturdy enough to last forever!</p>

We're never quite sure how they're going to react to new foods or treats, however their reaction to an unguarded bag of <a href="http://www.bynaturepetfoods.com/productpages/catmain.php" target="_blank" title="By Nature Adult Cat Formula">By Nature's Adult Dry Cat Food</a> left on the living room floor made their opinions quite clear.</p>

As you can see, I found the bag of food covered in tiny tooth marks, torn open, and missing a considerable amount of its contents. </p>

<p>Evidently they found the aroma drifting from the bag irresistible and became obsessed with devouring it's crunchy bounty. Breaking into the food before the review is our cat's way of saying, "WE LUV DIS FUD!"</p>

<p>I like the fact that By Nature's <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.petsecretshopper.com/2012/06/gama2-airtight-vittles-vault-stackables.html" rel="autointext" target="_blank" title="Gamma2 | Airtight Vittles Vault Stackables">pet foods</a> (both dry and canned), are all natural, contain real chicken, beef, and turkey with no soy, wheat, or corn. There's an interesting article on the ByNaturePetFoods.com website that explains <a href="http://www.bynaturepetfoods.com/nutrition/pdf/bynature-whats-better-chicken-or-chicken-meal.pdf" target="_blank" title="Chicken meal vs non-rendered chicken">why chicken meal is better than "non-rendered" chicken</a>. I had no idea!</p>
