The Difference Between Three Years and Thirteen
It’s said that most stray dogs don’t live beyond 3 years. That statement circulates like folklore through animal shelters, rescue groups, and veterinary waiting rooms. And while it's not entirely wrong, it’s not the full story either.

How I Learned My Puppy Was Sick: A Journey of Love, Concern, and Healing
Bringing home a puppy is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. Their wagging tails, tiny paws, and innocent eyes melt away the stress of the day. When I first brought my little Labrador retriever, Bruno, into my life, everything seemed perfect. He would follow me around the house, chase socks, and sleep in the most unusual places. I thought nothing could go wrong. But I soon realized that being a pet parent wasn’t just about playtime, but also responsibility, vigilance, and knowing when something was wrong.

The most Lovely Animal
The Most Beautiful Animal in the World Introduction Beauty exists everywhere in nature. Every flower, tree, mountain, bird, and animal has its own kind of beauty. Some animals are known for their strength, some for their intelligence, and others for their looks. When we talk about the most beautiful animal in the world, people may have different answers. Some may choose the horse, others the swan, some may say the deer, and many may choose the peacock. For me, the most beautiful animal in the world is the peacock. It is not only colorful and attractive, but it also has a special place in culture, art, and even in history. In this journal, I will share why I think the peacock is the most beautiful animal in the world.

Help Stray Cats in the Winter
I’m currently looking after three stray cats in my garden. This is due to their previous owner not giving a crap and choosing to leave them outside to fend for themselves. So if you read this previous owner, I would just like to say I think you are inhumane. Shame on you!

Dogs Save Lives
When I came home from Australia after suffering the effects of an abusive marriage there, I was struggling to continue. I had come home for a visit to America that turned into a divorce, and the loss of my darling Annabelle, a black lab mix who had a hard start to life. And I had believed I was going back home to a husband, so I had sent my other beloved pooch to Australia ahead of me. There was no way my ex was going to send my dog back to me.

Baby Gurl Blondie
On Sunday, the girls and I met a friend of ours at my ex's house to haul away the girls' Ford Escapes, which we can no longer afford to fix. My ex had threatened to give them away to someone, instead of waiting for us to move them when we could, even though they were his daughters' rigs. Instead of letting someone have them for nothing, I decided to allow a friend to haul them to a junkyard for half the money.
