No, My Dog Is Not Broken
Insight can come from the strangest places. Today, that insight came to me during a visit to our vet with our newest dog Pumpkin. He was our families Covid support dog, and it was time to update his shots, and make an appointment to get him fixed.

Hawkeye
How could I not? I met this little fellow in December, stopping by the Human Society not actually certain I was going to get another pet. It'd been a year almost since my last one passed away. He was nearly twenty-five. He stayed with us throughout most of my son's life and held on at the end until the day my son moved out. You can imagine whos' cat he really was, even though I'd gotten attached to him over the years.

How did my Home Become a Sanctuary for Random Creatures?. Top Story - February 2021.
Perhaps the title should read: How did my home become an involuntary sanctuary for random creatures? I certainly didn't send out invitations. Oddly enough, this is not a complaint. Each unique encounter has been either intriguing, entertaining, or at the very least educational. Only one of our visitors cost us money to remove. Perhaps I'll file that one under complaints.

Pawineer PupTrimmer Pro Review
I'm going to start off this review with two simple words: life-changing. You're probably thinking, how could a nail trimmer be "life-changing"? Let me take you back ten (yes ten) WHOLE years back to when I adopted my first pitbull, Bernard. Ever since adopting, I have always tried to go with the money-saving grooming decisions such as shaving fur, brushing teeth, bathing, and of course, trimming nails at home. I was able to achieve all of the following except those darn nails! Time and time again, I would buy different trimmers and clippers, try positive reinforcement, classical conditioning- none of it worked. I would always need to fork up 30 bucks or so each month to get his nails trimmed.

Sporty Snacks for Scaly Sidekicks
I'm a desert girl at heart, and so is my mom. She loves snakes, especially the big bull snakes that like to sun themselves in the middle of the road. While the hot asphalt is great for warming their bellies, and the lack of shade means they get plenty of sun, it also puts them at risk for being squashed by a car. My mom would always stop the car and get out to move the snakes she saw in the road, handling them with gentle, friendly confidence.

Do Good.
I’d intended to say goodbye to the pathetic life I was living. Green eyes danced across the waves rolling in and out in the distance, the chilled sensation of water dusting my ankles keeping my mind sharp. What was the point to continue forward? A dead-end job with vacation I couldn’t use, an empty social life, an even greater void in my heart when it came to love; everything seemed pointless in those moments. My chest expanded as I drew in a deep breath, holding it greedily within my lungs before steam twisted from the edges of my lips.
