Never get too close to an animal and do not try to pet or feed them. If you approach an animal so closely that it changes its behavior, then you are too close! Slowly move away until the animal resumes its previous behavior.


“Why does my pet eat grass?” This is a common question in the mind of pet owners but the truth of the matter is there isn’t one clear reason. We do know is that eating small amounts of grass is generally a harmless thing for a perfectly healthy dog or cat to do. But when nibbling turns into gulping large amounts of the grass, and grassy vomit is all over the floor, it’s time to wonder what’s happening.
There are several reasons why your pet is eating grass:
1. Nutritional cravings. A dog or cat may be eating a completely nutritionally diet, but that doesn't mean that cravings for specific things such as grass don't happen.
2. Behavioral drives. Pets may eat things that do not serve a biologic or nutritional purpose, such as when a pet eats paper or plastic. It may be that this particular behavior feels good or there is some other reason. However, an actual medical issue such as a neurologic disease can cause strange eating behaviors, so it is advisable to discuss such occurances with your veterinarian.
3. unknown (idiopathic) causes. Idiopathic means simply that the veterinarian doesn't know the exact cause. However, you should continue to monitor the situation.
Owners who notice their pets eating grass frequently probably don’t need to panic and rush to the emergency veterinarian. They should continue to watch their pets to gain more information and try to figure out why they are eating grass. Some questions you may ask yourself:
•Does my pet eat grass voraciously?
•Does he vomit or get sick afterward?
•Is there pattern to the grass eating? For example, does eating grass occur on the days when the pet doesn’t eat all of its food?
*Does the pet also drink an unusally large amount of water before or after eating the grass.
After having made their observations, owners can then present this information to their veterinarians.
Your pet’s doctor will begin looking for a medical condition that may be causing the grass eating. The vet will try to figure out if it is a sign of a minor illness, a more serious disease, or nothing more than slightly eccentric behavior.
The vet may perform the several tests to narrow done the cause(s), fecal exam, blood work, urinalysis, x-rays or an ultrasound.
Not every grass eating pet has a serious medical problem. Sometimes the best option is to let them them go right ahead. Just make sure the grass is not treated with any chemicals that could be harmful if your pet eats them. Also, try to avoid areas where other dogs have defecated so as not to pick up parasites.

Provided your property is in a popular area, has a good range of facilities, is marketed wisely and is competitively priced, you probably have no difficulty in renting in the high season.However, once the prime season is over, it’s a different story. The situation quickly changes and what was an ‘lucrative and easy market turns into a situation where there are hundreds of vacation rental properties competing for a significantly smaller pool of renters. Rental rates have to drop but a property's fixed costs remain….well…fixed. It can be a considerable challenge to find ways to capture those elusive guests.
However, they are out there and with some determined effort and creative thinking, they could be your customers. Those involved in the "cabin rental" industry have come to realize that renters have rising demands and expectations and if owners don’t meet them, they will miss out.
There has been over the past several years, an increase in vacation cabins listed on the rental market so it is important that you stand out from the crowd, be different and show you are genuinely interested in your guests. Just advertising a property rental and hoping the enquiries will come is no longer enough.
You start out with the comfort aspect – and emphasise a great night’s sleep - then move onto other features that contribute to a great stay. You’ll hear about the wonderful enclosed swimming pool, the cloeness of Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and other major attractions, and the golf course nearby. More often than not, a guest won’t use those facilities, but just knowing they are there may contribute to their final decision to reserve your cabin. There’s a psychological effect of getting more for your money because you are getting what you ‘want’ and not simply what you ‘need’.
However, although it may be adequate during peak season to show photos of beautiful mountains and an rocking chair on a porch, out of season there must be more attractions to draw potential guests to consider renting your property in favour of another. There’s a whole host of ways to attract out of season guests, drawing in several weekend rentals in the off season can generate significant income. There are numerous of rental cabins out there and to achieve any decent level of occupancy you will need to differentiate your place from the others.
Answer these questions:
What are you offering in your cabin that your competition isn’t?
What will attract potential renters to your cabin over all the others on the web?
When the obvious summer features are no longer viable – for example, swimming or sunning on a deck - you might consider highlighting seasonal activities such as hiking, skiing or sightseeing, etc.
You may need to upgrade your cabin's features or add new ones, update your décor and provide added value by accepting pets or making your property more accessible for disabled persons. One of the most requested amenities is internet access such as WIFI.Pictures, greenery and nick nacks add a warmth and cozyiness to a cabin that can make a difference to a potential renter.
You already know your local area so don’t leave it to your potential guests to find out if your locale is the place they want to be. You are the expert, so take it upon yourself to do the research and find out what’s on and happening within a reasonable driving distance of your property. Then you can use that information to develop specific packages and offers; suggest day trips and rainy day outings
If you are prepared to put the effort into researching what is available in terms of activities and attractions and then follow up by promoting them on your web site or listing, you have a much better chance to achieve a higher occupancy in your cabin, than if you don’t.

As a rental cabin owner, it is important to offer as many amenities and enticements to renters as you can. If your cabin does not have internet access, it should be made a priority. Guests often need to stay connected even when they take a vacation in the Smokies? Many people work on their computers and others even if they are on vacation they still need to have internet access to get their email, browse pages on the internet or to post pictures of the great getaway they are having in Facebook or Twitter.
Internet access is becoming an important criteria in vacation rental selection. It can mean the difference between a guest booking your cabin or a cabin of your more switched-on competitor.Also, offering internet access can definitely increase the potential for off-season rentals so it is worthwhile to check it out.
