For The Love of Dogs
Where to start with a topic so dear to my heart? I've always been a huge animal lover and owned pets all my life, who all lived to ripe old ages. I've rescued birds, baby mice, a half dead squirrel once, and was privileged to rehabilitate two baby racoons once (I'll save that for a different article on this blog of mine) and I have raised and homed puppies for years. But this blog is not about my love of animals, it's about dogs within the pet industry and is the first article of several.

The Mystery of the Bird That Heralds Death
The owl calls seven times, death is for men, and nine times, death is for women. It is also rumored that when a person is about to die, they will release a special smell and the owl with its sensitive hearing, has detected and signaled. Because of this belief, when the owl squeals in a long, mournful series in the quiet of the night, it always creates a creepy feeling.

In a Joint Effort, American Marine Mammal Facilities Collaborate with Spanish Aquarium to Safeguard Belugas Amidst the Ukraine Conflict. . Content Warning.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, many animals, both domesticated and exotic, have suffered the devastating effects of war. Many pets were left behind as their owners fled the country in search of safety across the border. Animal rescue organizations stepped in to save these abandoned animals, hoping to reunite them with their families or find new homes for them. Zoos and aquariums worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of their animals, some even making the tough decision to move them to other facilities. Kharkiv's NEMO Dolphinarium stands out as one such facility that went to heroic lengths to protect its animals.

How I Feel About Therians/Otherkin.
NOTE: This essay was drafted several months ago and is now seeing the light of day. I cannot say I'm completely one hundred percent convinced about Therians/Otherkin, but I do admire them regardless in a curious way. To begin with, I am what might be considered to be an "opponent" of Therians/Otherkin. I say this largely because of my Conservative/Christian views. So it would be understandable as to why they'd brush me off. Yet, before they do so, at least hear me out. Unlike most of my brethren, who would consider them to be "freaks" or "nutcases", I actually think what they're doing as Therians/Otherkin, is very interesting.

Cat struggling with life. Content Warning.
I was born into a miserable life, in an animal store, as if my body and soul belonged to the store owner, my mother did not hug me or take care of me, because since my birth, my friend has taken me at a high price, of course, as I am only a few days old, and I have blue eyes that are clearer than the water of the bays. I am considered one of the best breeds of cats, as I am a breed of Shirazi “Moon Face” and my hair is thick white ..

Evangelia and her son the wolf (a story from Greece)
First, I must point out that this story is true and strange, the story of a woman who raised a wolf as if it were her son. The story begins when Ms Evangelia Fraka was living in a small village in Greece .. One day in 1976, Mrs. Evangelia found a seriously injured little wolf that had probably been abandoned by its mother in the forest near the village where Mrs. Evangelia lived .. So Mrs. Evangelia, after her heart softened for this weak, small creature, decided to carry him and take him with her to her house, which she lives alone, which is located at the foot of a mountain in the village of Langadia ..
