Gia's Story
In May 2021 I moved to a beautiful flat in Whalley Range Manchester, UK, and If you're a fan of The Smiths like me you have no doubt heard about Whalley Range in the song "Miserable Lie". Admittedly Morrissey doesn't paint the place in the best light, but I'll let him off.

Why Should We Protect Animals?
The question is explained to us - The importance of animals in our day-to-day life. Without animals how much of our life is going to be difficult? It is really necessary for us to save animals' lives. We can't imagine our life without animals. Animals make human life easy. Animals give us food and as pets are the best companions. Some animals are also a source of earning for people and animals help farmers in farming. Some are living with them as their family members. I will be sharing my own experience with you guys to let you know what I feel about the importance of animals to man. I am sharing here my experience with our pet, his name was Coco. When my wife was pregnant we had that sweet dog. He would come to her and keep his head on her belly most of the time. Then my daughter was born after a few months. What I noticed is Coco was excited the same as I was when he saw my daughter for the first time. He liked playing with her a lot and enjoying and making my daughter laugh. He lived for about four and a half years after my daughter was born. What I felt was that he would understand that my daughter was a child and never harm her. He would recognize her and enjoy playing with her. Animals are one of the best friends of humans.

Finding Charlie.
One of my favorite sayings is, “is you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.” I did not plan on getting a new dog. Maybe not ever. But certainly not a day after saying goodbye to my best boy, Linus.

Lonesome Leo
Based on true story. Leo, a tiny and innocent 4-month-old kitten, remained blissfully unaware of the adventure awaiting him. He played and explored with wide-eyed curiosity, enjoying every moment in his cozy corner, but little did he know, a journey full of bitterness lay ahead.

"Understanding the Enigmatic Feline: Exploring the Wonders of Cats". Content Warning.
I. Introduction Cats, these fascinating and independent creatures, have been companions to humans for millennia, leaving an indelible mark on our history, culture, and hearts. Their journey alongside humans dates back thousands of years, with evidence of their domestication traced to ancient civilizations. However, unlike the intentional domestication process seen with dogs, cats began their companionship with humans in a more enigmatic and independent manner.

That Joyful Evening
Turning her head to one side, she peered at him with perplexity. His dark eyes revealed nothing, and ironically, the more she gaped at him, the less forthcoming they were. Peering at her with a slight smile on his face, he shrugged and gazed into the sky, now glowing with vibrant patches of orange and pink.

The Rocky-Top Chronicles (part 1)
I honestly don't remember when I first asked my parents if we could have a dog. At this point, it's been such a consistent ritual - especially around holidays and birthdays - that I honestly believed I was never going to have one in my parents' house.
