The Ties That Bind
Being creative helps bring families together. And in this case, helps families stay together. I’ve always enjoyed creating gifts for my family and friends. My craft closet is full of brightly colored fabrics, soft yarns and a wide variety of colored markers, among other tools of the trade. I handmake Christmas cards every year, using brightly colored cardstock, fun rubber stamps and unique materials. When a new baby joins the family, I make something heartfelt to mark the special occasion. I recently had the opportunity to mark eleven special occasions at once.

7 Reasons Why Pets Are a Good Idea
The need for a furry or feathery companion cannot be overemphasized. This is true especially in a world like ours where human companionship can get very fickle. These furry beings have largely become non-human parts of the family and we cannot deny that they have come here to stay.

No Ducking Way
An avulsion fracture is what the orthopedic surgeon in the city called it. That’s when bone fragments detach as a result of tendons or ligaments pulling away from the bone. Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as the nurse practitioner at the hometown urgent care had told us the day before. We expected a full leg cast or even surgery, but my wife is a tough gal. The doctor’s prescribed treatment for her knee injury was only two weeks of no weight followed by light duty for a few more weeks after that.

Honey we adopted a pitbull!
About five years ago, I was not really looking to adopt a puppy but I saw that a rescue group semi-close to home had a Boston Terrier puppy and she needed a forever home. We had lost our dog several months prior and my heart still ached for that loss but my husband loves Boston Terriers. I couldn't resist and I put in an application for her before even talking to him. Once I told him, he was more than happy to help along the process of adopting through a rescue group. A few days later, we found out we were approved and made a plan to travel the few hours to adopt her the following weekend.

Irresponsible and Underprepared
I got lost on my way to visit Lauren Murphy just outside of Montreal’s West Island. I got confused about which street I was on and where I was supposed to turn in the open space. When I eventually found her, she was outside with her dogs. As an animal rights enthusiast, and animal lover, she prides herself on spending as much time as possible with her pets.

Lennon
If you ask anyone that knows me they will tell you that I love animals especially dogs. I have had dogs my entire life both as a child and as an adult. I am going to share a story with you about a dog I rescued he was a red Staffordshire Bull Terrier I named Lennon. I will go back to the start. I remember sitting on the sofa looking through facebook when a post from the SSPCA popped up, the picture was of a 1 year old Staffy Male who was very underweight, I clicked and began to read his story. As I was reading the tears started to trickle down my cheeks "poor baby" I thought, he had not had the best start in life beaten and underfed, now he was in a shelter and he was scared. I have to have this dog I thought so I emailed them.
