The Most Important Meal of the Day… For Pups!
Every self-help guide would agree that starting the day with a healthy meal is the key to a successful day. Could this also be true for our pups? Is it possible they’ll be more patient when you don’t have time to throw the ball for the hundredth time? Will it improve their focus to simply walk next to you on the sidewalk, rather than entrapping innocent bystanders with their never-ending leash? If you ask me, it is most definitely true for my pup, Cali! Her affection, patience, and energy are noticeably more intense when she’s had a hearty meal.

The Watcher in the Window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Statuesque in her concentration, she gazed out it longingly, concentrating momentarily on the flies ticking and buzzing against the glass of her prison.

It's impossible to write with a dog hovering over your shoulder. Perhaps if you have a small lap dog, like a Yorkie or a Dachshund, you may tend to disagree, but a great big fur-baby like a German Shepherd? Impossible, I say.

I’m a proud Tokyoite and have been for my 5 years living here. The alley I live on provides cozy spots to curl up for a nap, a variety of delicious scraps, and sometimes a passerby will give me a nice scratch on my back. I purr and rub against their leg and they might even give me a bit of their tuna sandwich. Unlike my alley-mates, I’m not scared of people. I’m the only one who knows my human given name, Takeo. When I was very young I lived with some folks and they were kind to me, but they were an elderly couple. They passed away a year apart from each other. The lady of the house fed me well and let me do as I please for the last year of her life. I had been mostly an indoor cat but I think she sensed my desire for the great outdoors. I was out roaming the streets when she took her last breath. I mourned her passing, but I expected it and we cats accept death better than humans.

Memento Amare
They say you don't know what you have till it's gone, but that was never true for you. We knew exactly what we had, and somehow that makes it so much harder.

The best dog bed will vary depending on the individual dog's needs and preferences. Some factors to consider when choosing a bed for a dog include size, support, and materials. A bed that is the appropriate size for the dog will provide them with enough room to comfortably stretch out and rest. A bed with good support will help to alleviate any joint pain or arthritis. Durable and easy to clean materials are also important as dogs tend to shed and drool. Memory foam or orthopedic beds can be especially beneficial for dogs with joint pain. Waterproof and/or washable covers are also a useful feature for easy cleaning. Overall, the best dog bed will provide the dog with a comfortable and supportive place to rest and sleep.

Augustus SanchezPublished about 9 hours ago in Petlife6 Important tips how to feed your kittens
Start by feeding your kitten small meals throughout the day Small, regular meals throughout the day are crucial for your kitten's growth and development. Kittens have tiny stomachs that can only hold a little amount of food at a time when they are first weaned. You are enabling them to eat more frequently and keep a constant amount of nourishment throughout the day by giving them modest meals. Additionally, distributing your kitten's meals throughout the day will aid in preventing obesity and overeating, which can eventually result in health problems. It's essential to keep in mind that kittens have different nutritional requirements than adult cats, so it's advisable to speak with your veterinarian to decide on your kitten's feeding schedule and portion sizes.
