Dog and Goat Food Run
Once every month or so, I drive up to a place called "Gatlin Feed" to purchase food for my dogs and for my bucks. Now, I love my dogs as much as the next person, but when the venison is running low in the freezer, it's time to buy k-i-b-b-l-e and, when you have eleventy-billion dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes, like I do, you need to find the right price point for your dog food. So, yes, Taste of the Wild is pretty much right out. Fortunately, our feed store has a dog food that fits the bill (shameless plug for it in the picture caption), which they sell for a reasonable price for a 50-pound bag. Best of all, the dogs love it AND they look amazing on it, so the 50ish mile round trip is well worth the time and effort.

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.

4th of July for the dogs.
It's almost 4th of July and you know what that means! A flood of missing pet reports on Nextdoor, a plea to your neighbors not to pop fireworks in the middle of the night, and a shortage of acepromazine, Trazadone, and gabapentin from your veterinary office.

A Girl's Best Friend
Four years ago, around the height of the pandemic, one of my childhood dreams came true; we finally got a dog. It was one of the happiest nights of my life, picture this: it was 11PM during a hot April night, my dad just got home from paying a visit to his parents, and he had a 2-month old puppy with him. It was one of the most stupefying moments of my life, seeing this little white ball of fur with him, and as my dad let her down to go around and greet us, she hid under the couch. We all laughed and coaxed her out, and gave her a bunch of pets and food. She eventually warmed up to us, and the rest was history.

BuckyBoo is now "WetherBoo!"
There are few creatures on this planet that are cuter than a goat kid, especially a Nigerian Dwarf goat kid. Sure, it might take a couple of days to go from "aw, shucks, the polyfil in my stuffed goat toy is all flattened from being in the washer" to awesome fluffy bouncey ball on amphetamines, but yes, that change will inevitably come--and with it the soft-eyed wide-legged stance that just begs you to pick them up. (DON'T DO IT. Your bouncey ball will explode into a thousand legs and hooves and start to scream!)

First True Love
The most unique yet the most common one. These words best describe my first ever cat as a child. She is my closest friend, my crying shoulder, and my whole life, albeit temporarily. She is the youngest member of the family and the true “bunso (youngest child).”
