Her Majesty Mia and her minions
I rule this rag tag lot… they’re not much, but they’re all I’ve got! I preside at the head of the table, my indisputable, rightful place. But, I randomly perch on other chairs at a moment’s notice… whenever the mood strikes. Such fun keeping them off balance. Fun reminding them who’s boss... ME!
Angie the Archivist 📚🪶Published 14 days ago in PetlifeThe Brat Pack
Seamus, Murphy, and Moose are military pups. We acquired all three dogs from random places near where we’ve been stationed – a run-down housing estate on the outskirts of Cambridge, a McDonalds parking lot, and a farm in the middle of deepest, darkest Norfolk. During the past eight years they’ve grown accustomed to air force life and understand that every so often they must pack up their paws and move with us.
Caroline CravenPublished 2 years ago in PetlifeMy cat died on Friday
My cat died on Friday. One of my cats. I have two. Had. It was sudden, quick, horrible, and in my arms, and now I feel funny about my arms. Like they betrayed me somehow, these strong, capable limbs I use to love and to care, vessels, instead, of dying.
Hannah MoorePublished 2 months ago in PetlifeLooking Back at Our Building Year
Away, 2023--Onward, 2024! So, last year was a building year. More accurately, it was a REbuilding year. In 2023, Kathleen and I found ourselves bottlenecked with our dogs. I only had one goat left and he was a male, which is fine unless you have dairy goats for milk! Dan and I had become dissatisfied with buying our laying hens from other people, and so embarked on creating our own landrace. He and I also re-evaluated what we were doing, gardening-wise, now that he's recovering and feeling more like himself. And, finally, I decided to make another attempt at raising quail for meat and for eggs. Phew! We were busy, even though we didn't seem to be doing much!
Kimberly J EganPublished 3 months ago in PetlifeTen Lessons I Learned From My Dog
I don't get people who don't get dogs. I don't like all dogs, just like I don't like all people. They have distinct personalities, and some are infinitely more likeable than others. Some are probably basically decent, but seem to have been poorly raised. But on the whole, I'm a dog person, and I'm going to spell it out to you exactly why.
L.C. SchäferPublished 6 months ago in PetlifeHome
“Home.” It’s a sound I’ve heard many, many times. I wasn’t sure what it meant, but I do know that it scared me. Whenever I heard that word spoken about one of my friends, I never saw them again. I missed my friends. I missed the ball games we used to play, and the wrestling matches we’d have while rolling around on the grass in the garden.

Elmer's Gourmet Tale: A Canine's Journey to Personalized Nutrition
Elmer's Journey Begins: A Tailored Approach to Nutrition Elmer is a six-year-old Basset Hound who lives with his loving family in the suburbs! Typically he has lots of energy and is playful and cheery. However, his parents noticed a significant change in his personality - he just wasn’t his usual self and lacked his unique characteristics. This worsened around meal times. Concerned, his parents knew they needed to find a way to bring back the Elmer that they knew. They searched online and stumbled upon Ollie's dog food. What intrigued them to give Ollie a deeper look was the way that Ollie seems to be a personal chef for pets, offering meals that can be customized for their unique needs and preferences.

Unleash the Wonders of the Animal Kingdom: Discover the Extraordinary World of Animals!
Introduction Animals are the glue that holds everything together on earth. The environment’s biodiversity is affected by the relatively small role each animal plays.

Kimberly J EganPublished 2 days ago in PetlifeWhat Breed of Cat Should I Get?
One of the most common questions we get asked from clients is what breed of cat we think that they should get. However, they should be asking what kind of cat should I get? It is much better to look at your lifestyle and the temperament of a cat over a specific breed.
Shelley WengerPublished 3 days ago in PetlifeGirls Just Wanna Have Fun
This is a true story, but Daisy is the one telling it here. She was a comfort puppy to me, coming to me after my mother's death. She got me through some bad times with her wet kisses and smiles. She made me laugh with her antics and I will never stop being grateful for the love she gave to me. It is just now that I'm able to talk about her without, as my grandchildren say, "getting into my feels."
Shirley BelkPublished 3 days ago in PetlifeSugar and Spice and Something Not So Nice
In my living room, I felt the weight of my loneliness. I just found myself in a monotonous cycle where each day melted into the next. It was all a blur, waking, walking, waiting, watching, walking, walking, eating, watching. Even with the TV roaring the silence echoed through me, leaving an empty feeling in my chest.
Tips to Protect Your Flock
