Free Feeding vs. Scheduled Feeding: A Comprehensive Guide on Meal Time. Created with: Ollie.
Just like people, dogs come in all shapes and sizes. Not to mention their energy levels! That means that all dogs have different needs when it comes to the food bowl, which can make it tough when it comes to figuring out a feeding schedule and the type of food that works best for your pet. There are lots of decisions we have to make as pet owners. One of the most important is what, and when, to feed our pups.

Effects of Captivity on Animals in the Zoos
Zoos are places where people keep animals locked up for their amusement. Animals are beautiful and people like them and this is the reason why they have created zoos, where they can admire animals from a close distance, without being in any danger. Nevertheless, this creates a lot of suffering and mental problems for the poor captive animals.

Funny Farm
Supporting the dreams of those who strive to help is important and is personally fulfilling as well. Through the years I've tried to help various organizations by volunteering, fundraising, or donating. The charitable organization I'm featuring here is not close enough for me to volunteer at. If it were, I'd be there every day because it's just so delightful! Do yourself a favor and follow The Ass Menagerie Sanctuary (TAMS) on social media. The animals and their antics will help bring a smile to your day.

How I Know I Can Be a Mother
I have always struggled with the idea of being a mother. The idea of being responsible for the life of another being. Making sure they’re fed. Bathed. Clothed. Getting enough sleep. Entertained. Happy. I feel like I’m barely capable of managing those basic needs for myself.

How A Dog That Isn't Mine Takes My Kids Off Leash
Every night after dinner, we torture the teenagers by reading for half an hour. We settle in the living room, each in our own cozy spot and read books, magazines, the occasional newspaper, even case files. Reading Time is a sacred institution in our house, more than any religious or spiritual practice.

Behind the Mask
“Go get ‘em!” Tens of tiny biscuits were propelled into the air, as ten tiny faces desperately watched with crazed eyeballs, hungry and excited. Then tens of tiny paws frantically scrabbled, slipping across the laminate floor as the biscuits rained down and scattered everywhere; booty dropping from a piñata. And in ten seconds – gone.

1330 Miles By Car
I love a good airport reunion. Show me the video of a veteran returning home to a cheering crowd at the airport and this ice queen will melt every time. Throw man's best friend into the "Welcome" crew, tail wagging jumping into their favorite human's arms and forget about it. Ugly crying every time.

Rescuing You, Rescued Me
The day I met Kelso was one of the best days I can remember in my life. I woke up that boiling, summer morning, 20 years old, and aching for something to help me work through my anxiety. And since we always had one dog, and one cat growing up it just made sense for me to go to a shelter and adopt a dog. So I pulled myself out of bed and texted my friend. I convinced her to come with me, & two hours later we were walking into this tucked away animal shelter not sure what to expect. But when we walked inside the environment was clean, for what it was, and all you could hear were loud barks, anxious meows, and the pitter patter of smaller animals al throughout the building.
