I Spent $1000+ on a $7 Fish
The dollar store near our home always had an eclectic selection of amazing things I didn't know I needed. I'd stopped in for a few household items but, of course, by the time I made it to the checkout counter, my basket was overflowing with an assortment of hair products, glassware, unusual candies, and decorations for a future birthday celebration.

Mollie, the Black Lab, and Her Shenanigans
Meet Mollie We have a granddaughter. Her name is Mollie. She is a 60 to 70 pounds black lab and is about 8 years old. Mollie is very vocal and quite a character. I can imagine her as a human with a snarky attitude. Mollie stays with us when her parents are on vacation and there is never an occasion where she does not use her manipulation methods with us. Mollie loves being outside, hence why she enjoys being here, because of our large fenced-in backyard. She can get annoying sometimes with her constant whining to go outside. Yesterday alone I opened the sliding door for her about 30 times. And whenever I said no, she grunted like a bitchy teenager as if saying, “FINE! I’ll just lay here on your swollen, puffy, hurt foot!” Then lay down on the floor using my foot as a pillow.

A Humorous Tale of Going Buh-Bye With My Daddy
I’m SO excited! It’s one of those rare days I get to take my Hoo-man out for the day. I love this big ol’ mook. He’s an awesome Paw-paw, that’s for damn sure. He’s always giving me treats, letting me lay against his leg when he’s busy writing, and generally leaving me the hell alone. Which is more than I can say for everyone else in this house.
Jason ProvencioPublished about a month ago in Petlife7 Life Lessons Learned From My Father’s Cat
Her concentration is unbreakable as she crouches close to the ground. Every muscle stays perfectly still except for the tip of her tail, which wags ever so slightly as the only warning to her intended victim. With eyes fixed on one spot on the ground, she’s a statue waiting for her prey to make a terminal mistake.

My Hamster
I grew up loving rows and rows of small animals, so I also especially like to keep small animals. I went to the park with my mom and dad to see the lights. Suddenly saw a roadside sale of small animals, I immediately ran over, look at this, look at that, there are beautiful little goldfish, cute little turtles, lively little rabbits ...... hey! I was surprised to find a small hamster, a small animal that I had wanted for a long time. I begged my dad to buy one, at first my dad did not agree, I was so anxious that tears came out of my eyes. When Dad saw me crying, he agreed to buy me one. After bargaining, I finally bought a small hamster for 23 yuan.

I’m pulling weeds after the rain. It’s a good time to do it; the ground is moist and loose and forgiving. The rain-pocked soil releases the offending, invasive stalks without resistance. One firm tug and the weeds—root and all—are plucked into oblivion.
