dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
My dog identified as a cat.
I am not a dog person, heck I'm not even an animal person, but I come from an animal family. Two technically. My dad has had three dogs over the course of my life, my mom has had two dogs and three cats. When I finally moved out to live on my own, I got a fish. Fish are so much easier. I had a fair fish growing up that I kept alive for three years completely on my own! So now, my husband and I have a semi large fish tank and keep a few fish. That's as close to having an animal in our house as we will get for a long time. I'm comfortable with my fish. But when I was younger, we adopted an incredibly unique dog named Happy.

Heathcliff
He had to be about the ugliest dog I have ever seen! My brother was welding in the oilfields and found this strange looking pup on the side of the road. Being the kind soul, my brother was he picked him up and brought him home, he was mostly starved, with a long skinny snout, a coon dog body and green eyes. We had no choice but to name him Heathcliff and yes, there were times when he showed me the dark side of love. With everyone else in the family too busy, he became my responsibility and though I loved him and I know he loved me, there were numerous times when I wished he understood “don’t embarrass me or else” it just didn’t seem to work for me with him as well as it did for mom with us kids.

How to Choose the Right Bed for Your Dog?
Like human beings, dogs also need a place of their own. As a dog owner, it is your responsibility to make sure that you get your dog the comfortable bed that it deserves. You must not forget that dogs are active animals that keep exploring, playing, and sniffing. They also need enough time to take a rest. There are so many options on the market including a waterproof large dog bed that is meant to give your dog a quiet sanctuary for peaceful, uninterrupted naps.

Smells Like Love
Facebook is usually the place for relationship updates and connecting with friends whom we haven't seen in years, but in May of 2013 it was Facebook that introduced me to my best friend. Not a friend that I had met in school or at an old job, but a furry friend who needed a home.

OUR UGA.
The day our Uga, came into our lives was one that I consider probably the luckiest day of our lives. At least that's how I look at it. One day at a family BBQ, that was at my brother-in-law's house, we all were outside at the time, some were chasing kids around others tossing the football back & forth, and some were just sitting around and talking to one another.

A penny for your thoughts
I had no idea what I was thinking when I suddenly found myself opening the door to our neighborhood ASPCA. At best I was looking for a friend who wouldn’t betray me. A confidant who wouldn’t tell my secrets. A protector who wouldn’t let anything or anyone get the best of me. At worst we’d see each other’s bad habits and hopefully just be there for each other.

Dream Dog
Hi, my name is Kristy and I am writing a true story about my dream dog and how she became mine. Back in 2012 I had a regretful and heart-breaking decision to make. I had to put my Shar-Pei to sleep. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life and it wasn't a light one at that. Still to this day, I remember the last day I had to say goodbye like it is a bad dream that keeps reoccurring. They say the loss of a loved one gets easier to live with but they don't tell you that it never completely heals or goes away, that the last day you see them and the state their in, or the last hug and kiss you gave and the last goodbye you say to them lingers on in your memories forever more. But the loss does become easier, until you find something that makes you weep like a baby due to the hurt from missing that animal or loved one is brought back up through a story or a scripture on a piece of paper once more.

It Takes a Thief
The year of masks and social distancing made Maggie long for the touch of another living being. It had been so long since she found anyone she wanted to even have a Zoom date with, but here she is making dinner for someone she just met last weekend. At her home no less!
