A Pet's Life
Being a cat owner since I was born, I was brought up living with a variety of different breeds of cats. Although learning to love dogs, there is something special about having a companion.

Largest Cat Breeds
Cats are one of the cutest animals around and even if you're not the biggest fan of them, like me, you still can't help but adore the little things. Many of us assume that cats are pure evil that plot diabolical plans and use you for food and shelter. But actually, a lot of them are sweet and love their owners unconditionally. Shocking, I know.

I Don't Deserve My Best Friend
I got Memphis in the early summer of 2014, when I was just nineteen. He was just a tiny, nine week old puppy. My father and his girlfriend insisted that getting Memphis was a mistake. My great grandparents were from the old country, and didn't understand the point of owning a dog. Where they were from, dogs were strays and nothing more. Memphis was so much more than that.

Is It an Aggressive Dog, or Just a Bad Owner?

Nice to Sniff You
Hi. I’m Olive. It's nice to meet you! My human companion Amanda told me that I should tell you about my life. I would love to do that. I’m almost five years old and I was born on Valentine's Day! Maybe that’s why I feel so full of love. Hahaha! Anyway, I come from what Amanda calls a breeder. I was a middle pup in a litter of twelve. Before I can even remember, I was given to Amanda. I’m a very important dog, you see. A very good, important dog with a real important job. Amanda needed me to watch over her and help her if she started feeling different. I was very good at my job. Amanda and I would go everywhere together. I am such a special dog. My favorite thing was going shopping at the mall. I loved all the people and smells. I could tell Amanda liked it to. It was always a very long walk.
