Khaleesi My Queen
My wife and I started dating in 2016. Now, we had no whirlwind romance. He just had an understanding of how we needed to be together. At the time, I was living with my mother and she was living with her parents. We were wanting a place of our own. My childhood home, which my mother still owned, stood vacant. I begged for months for her to let us have it and she finally gave in.

Keeping Him in the Family
My boyfriend ("J") is the oldest of three brothers -- the other two brothers we'll call "B" and "R". From my understanding, B got a puppy for Christmas 2012; their mom surprised him with a white Shih Tzu that has black ears and black spots/patches all over. Based on this information, you shouldn't be surprised that B named the puppy Panda.

A puppy is a wonderful, fun, and precious addition to any family. Puppies are also a massive amount of work, but if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with a faithful, happy, and loving partner.

We get to the adoption center, and we start looking at cats, my dad letting us 'awe' and stare at each cute furry thing. It was while looking at these furry felines that, I in my 3 years of age turn around and see this lone fluffy black pup. He was being looked at by another family.

The little Runt that could
My fur baby story begins like most great love stories; adversity and unconditional love. Its not enough to just survive in life but sometime with a little extra help it can have its generosity returned in some of the smallest ways and leading to the greatest results.

Cats Are Jerks
I am, what my friends consider, a "cat lady" as I have 4 cats and want about 4 more. I have always loved cats; they have such different personalities but know how to help when you are sad. My 4 cats are all very different in personalities, breeds and colors. Tompkins, my oldest boy at 7 years old, I have had for over a year and adopted him from a local shelter. He is an orange and white handsome guy with yellow/green eyes and is very independent, but will come around for pets at least once a day. Missy, my 2 and a half year old baby was also adopted from a local shelter. She is a tortoise shell, multi-colored beauty. If it were up to her, she would never stop being pet and she will put her face in yours and nudge your hand when she wants your attention. Tucker, my Siamese boy, is almost a year old. He is my snuggle bug, always flopping himself into my arms like a baby for love and attention. He is also my biggest cat, even weighing more than my 7 year old and even longer and taller than him too. Tucker is by far my biggest jerk. Then, last but not least, is Bagheera. He is also almost a year old, only 2 weeks younger than Tucker. Bagheera is a Tuxedo, and he is a momma's boy for sure, only letting me hold or pet him.
