Isn't it ironic that the very best of humanity is seen through the love and empathy we show to our pets?
Imagine Life Without Our Pets
I have lived with pets and I have lived without them. I can tell you that life with pets is much more enhanced in quality. I grew up with cats and dogs. Back then cats were inside pets and our dogs were outside pets. Today as an adult I am a dog mother of two of the smartest, goofiest, caring girl pups who love me and their dog dad and each other very much

October Was My Second Opportunity To Serve Animals and I Am Grateful for the Triggered Pain
October was too harsh. In addition to life standard chores, I spontaneously volunteered in some animals rescue missions. I’ve been witness to so much cruelty; a nonchalance in the best-case scenario.

Finding Kittens, Finding Me
I've always loved animals, ever since I was 9 years old and found an injured pigeon outside of church in the parking lot. I begged my mother to take that bird home and let me keep it, and she reluctantly said yes. Now, it soon followed that I found another pigeon, wounded on the street and took it home, also. Those pigeons became more pigeons, and I joined 4H where I expanded my collection to include chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quail, doves, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I did very well in 4H, and in high school I joined FFA. I got a job at Hardee's, saved my money, and bought a pony that I named Blackie. Blackie was followed by a horse named Sandy, and then I got pregnant. I was 19 years old by that time, still living at home, still having all my animals, and my mother said that they all had to go except the dogs. I had to grow up because I was going to be a mother. I was sad to have to get rid of my loved ones, but I realized that as an adult I had responsibilities that outweighed my love for animals, so my collection was divided up between several children who needed animals for 4H.

Elsa and Champ
Elsa is sitting in the waiting room of the veterinary clinic “2VETS”, having her head in her hands and her body moving back and forth. Four more people waited their turn for their pet’s appointment. She finds herself in the center of a comforting “hug” and tearfully recounts all the wonderful times she had experienced in the company of Champ — the wolf-dog that has been her companion for the past 5 years — while receiving the expressions of compassion from the bystanders who touch her on the shoulder, hold her hand and watch her in tears, expressing words of comfort. Ten minutes earlier, one of the clinic’s two veterinarians had announced that he had not been able to save Champ from the effects of ingesting rat poison he had taken from a storage locker in the garden that had been accidentally left open…

Your Dog Will Teach You How To Meditate: Mindfulness Lessons From Animals. Top Story - November 2021.
Mindfulness practices teach us to be in the here and now, notice what we are feeling, and bring more awareness into what we are doing. They work to relax the body and mind and reduce stress levels. Most often these are exercises with a concentration on breathing; meditations while standing, sitting, or in motion, which can be combined with other activities such as yoga, sports, or everyday activities.

Top Secrets To Keep Your Pets Happy
Pets are a wonderful addition to anyone's household. They are among the few special ones who actually care about us. They are always willing to give us all they have without expecting something in exchange. Nowadays, individuals consider their pets as children and themselves as parents. This is how pet-human relationships are changing. The family members consider pets no less than humans. For example, they celebrate their birthdays with the same zeal and excitement as they would celebrate of some family member. The human-animal bond is a flexible and rather more of a symbiotic connection between humans and their pets, affected by activities that are critical to both their physical and mental health and well-being.

My Guardian Angel Has Paws
I don’t know what I would do without her. I first met Bella when she was six months old, when I was babysitting her for a close family friend. It was puppy love at first sight. We instantly bonded and having a dog around again reminded me of so many happy childhood memories, the ones that got me through the times that weren’t so happy. I babysat Bella several other times over the years, and then about two and a half years ago her former owners had to move and couldn’t take her, so I adopted her as my own.
