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.
The Proof of Loyalty:
MRI scans have a way of humbling assumptions. For years, people argued whether dogs love us or simply tolerate us for food, shelter, and convenience. But when neuroscientists began placing trained dogs inside MRI machines, they didn’t find appetite—they found affection.

Cassidy's Walkabout. Top Story - November 2025.
This is, fortunately, a better post than I have a right to make today. Some of you know about my Australian Shepherd, Cassidy. He's generally out at night, keeping foxes and the occasional coyote away. He's a working-bred Aussie, but he thinks that he's a pack of Great Pyrenees. On occasion, Cassidy used to wander, finding or creating a hole in the fence and taking off to parts unknown. He has been very good in the past few months, no longer even barking at the school bus as it goes by. This morning, he was as quiet as could be when the high school bus and then the middle school bus passed the homestead.

A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is a third‑party lab report that verifies what’s actually in your CBD treats for dogs—how much CBD is present, how much THC (if any), and whether contaminants like pesticides or heavy metals are below safety limits. Without a current, batch‑matched CoA, you’re guessing about potency and purity, which can lead to under‑dosing, over‑dosing, or exposing your dog to unsafe compounds.

The place is called Territorio de Zaguates, or Land of the Strays.

Why You Should Never Leave Your Pet to Die Alone:
Every veterinarian has heard the same line from grieving owners: “I just can’t do it,” or "It's just too painful." They say it as if leaving somehow softens the reality—as if their absence changes the outcome. The intention may sound gentle, but the act of walking away is cruel.

The Little Dog Who Mended a Broken Heart. AI-Generated.
When Emma lost her husband, the silence in the house became unbearable. Every sound — the creak of the old floorboards, the hum of the refrigerator, the ticking of the clock — reminded her that Tom was gone. He had been her best friend, her laughter, her favorite argument partner. Without him, even the sunlight through the curtains seemed dull.
