What is the most valuable advice that you wish you had known before you were able to use it? Ie: I wish I had known that checking all the pocket before tossing my clothes in the wash would prevent me from having to buy new jeans because the gum I left in there destroyed them and a new cell phone...

To get two sphynx at a time instead of one :Laugh: Oh and to always smell milk before drinking it (that should be common sense though )

That exfoliating gloves make bathing naked kittys much easier!

OH and if you see little brown, round, pellets in the forest, they are NOT smart pills, do NOT eat them!!!!

Sphynx-wise, not all of them love bathing. About life in general, it's a lie...the grass is NOT greener on the other side.

Sphynx wise- When you hear get two instead of one, stop crying about the $$ and do it (its worth it)
They are NEEDY at first, make time for them.

When working on house electricity, even after you have made sure everything is off, keep one hand in a pocket.

for sphynx, a little planning and a little bribery works wonders to correct/prevent negative behavior.

Sphynx: If no kibble you try produces a firm poop, try raw. Don't listen when the vets say that maybe the poop will firm up over time.

Life: Always, always be honest. Especially when the truth is not good.

General Advice: The words "Portable Dishwasher" do not mean someone "ported" it into the house after they bought it. They mean the dishwasher is PORTABLE and must be taken for a walk to the sink everytime you want to use it and is not connected to the wall/water. Who in the heck knew they made this sort of dishwasher, and why did someone NOT explain that to me instead ofusing the words "Portable dishwasher"- do I look like a generation old enough to understand the words "Portable dishwasher"?

Sphynx advice: Do not buy white sheets EVER

Do not know if this is the same but here it is.
Rasing kids is like slowly being pecked to death by chickens.
My grandmother told me that when my kids were younger and some days it seamed true.:LOL::LOL:

In life... Don't put all your eggs in one basket...
Also, NEVER let a man/woman make you lose your friends...
With sphynx, never underestimate the power of "poopfoot"

Sphynx - no matter the stress, kissing a sphynx can melt it all away!

General - a positive attitude and outlook goes a LONG way in life.

In life: be proactive, not reactive

With Sphynx: you will never be prepared for how deeply in love you will fall with them

Sphynx: You may want to hire a maid service - housework will be put off until 'later' because you don't want to disturb the cat snuggled up on your lap.....

Life: You can CHOOSE to be happy.
