The Truth Behind Dog Breeding
Have you ever seen one of those sad puppy commercials on television with the hungry dogs in the animal shelters? Whenever I see one of these commercials I feel a sudden urge to grab my dog and hug him. My eyes begin to water and heartache begins to take over my emotions. Sadly we humans are doing much more than we may realize to contribute to the high numbers of hungry dogs on the streets and in shelters. One aspect that plays a major role in this issue is the support of dog breeding. Throughout this piece of writing I hope to inform my readers of the unethical and immoral aspects of dog breeding. I will be explaining the great lack of responsibility being displayed when choosing to breed or to buy from a breeder over making the choice to adopt, especially when there are easier alternatives available. I will discuss the overpopulation crisis that many dogs in the US face every day. I will also go on to explain why these dogs are overpopulated in the first place, as well as provide ways that anyone, even you, can help this cause.

Omar's Diary for Saturday 20th Jan 2018
My own Servants were finally able to spend more time around home this Saturday than they have been able to do so since May 2017. Up until last weekend they were fully committed for every weekend and bank holiday to looking after their equines. Equines must be so inferior to felines as they have been so demanding of my Servant's time. Alas now, they are being looked after full-time by other members of the Servant's species.

Weird Things My Dog Does Daily
Where do I begin? I could write a novel on how this quote on quote "dog" makes every day unique. I think I should start by saying we bought him from a farm for £150. We saw a Facebook ad and were initially interested in his sister but he was still adorable.

Organic Dog Food Recipes That Are Super Easy to Make. Top Story - January 2018.
Store-bought dog food these days don't entirely taste great to many dogs. Sure, many of them include vitamins and minerals to give dogs their strength and energy, but are they as tasty as they say they are on the labels? Our dogs are the ones eating them, since we can't test them out. And how many times can you give your dog the same meal everyday? Imagine you're eating the same dinner every single day. It gets boring, right? You can even get sick of the same food. And pups shouldn't have to go through this.

Ball Python Care
Ball pythons (Python regius) are native to the continent of Africa. These docile serpents have been found in several countries to the west of the continent, such as Ghana, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. These animals spend much of their time hiding in burrows, as they enjoy keeping to themselves.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 16)
There is never a dull moment when you own a dog. They are a constant surprise. Their personalities change over time. Their actions will sometimes never make sense to you. They are endless entertainment. And they usually make great cuddle buddies. I'm a little biased towards dogs as pets, but I own one so I think that gives me a pass.
