The wonderful world of rabbits
It is a common misconception that rabbits are part of the rodent family. Because of this, pet stores like to market them as short-lived animals that will be happy in a small cage. That is incorrect care for rabbits as they are lagomorphs. They have different needs than rodents, but they do have some similarities. Rodents and lagomorphs have teeth that never stop growing. It’s recommended that rabbits have access to hay to help wear their teeth down.

Feral cats in urban environments Research/Survey grant proposal
*Authors Note - I wrote this research paper while I was in college. Since then, we have more scientific data that tells us more about feral cats and the behavior of all cats that spend time outdoors. This was a topic I was passionate about then and that I am still passionate about today. I believe we should all, as pet owners, be responsible pet owners. Limit the time your cat spends outside if you can and have your dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Sorry not sorry to get all Bob Barker on y'all.

A Different Kind of Family
I pulled into my driveway, shutting off the engine. I looked out the window, and shivered. It was cold that night, and it was pouring rain. I zipped my jacket up to my chin, and grabbed my umbrella from the passenger seat. I opened my door a crack, quickly opening my umbrella. I braced myself for the cold, and ran to my front door.

As canines get old, they get less versatile, and their sight is not as great as before. They become more susceptible to different infections. Furthermore, becoming older is not fatal, and canines can enjoy their older years more healthily.

let sleeping dolphins lie
There is a tv show in the UK called QI. Its a comedy type question where people are asked almost impossible questions or where seemingly obvious questions have strange answers. As a lover of trivia and weird facts i often watch it and try and retain interesting stuff. Unfortunately I tend to only properly recall very weird stuff or totally useless facts that I will never again.
