My Rexy Boy
I got my Rexamus Maxamus (Rex) when he was just a puppy. He was a full blood English Staffordshire (Staffy). When I went to get him, as you do with animals, I sat and waited for him to choose me. There were eight puppies and all, but Rex followed their mother from the back porch to the lawn. Rex, a white Staffy with a brown patch over his eyes, walked over to my feet, climbed on them and, as little fat puppies do, tried to reach for me, but rolled off.

Dog Gone Days
A few years ago, my then-girlfriend and I were on the precipice of making a significant decision that would alter the fate of our lives. We were determining whether we could adopt two miniature dachshund/chihuahua puppies. Our deliberations were short. In the end, we went to the immediately gratifying option of adopting the two young puppies and throwing ourselves into the wildly complicated world of being puppy parents. We were both inexperienced in taking care of dogs. Still, we each had experience taking care of cats, so we figured we would get the hang of the whole puppy parent thing quickly. And so we entered into the new world with Brass, the miniature dachshund puppy, and Monkey, the chihuahua puppy.

The relationship between humans and Dogs are inseparable
Saying farewell to your furry pet brings excruciating anguish, akin to the agony of losing a loved one. To people who have never had a dog or cat, this may seem to be an exaggeration, but it is the reality. This is not just the view of those who have gone through comparable experiences, but it is also the technical opinion of Unfortunately, it is not always simple to convey one's emotional condition to others, and it is not always easy to request time off, such as when a family member dies. This makes dealing with the discomfort much more difficult since you can't take a break to metabolize the agony and you can't depend on your friends and colleagues to understand you. This is especially true if none of them has previously been in a similar circumstance.

Well That Went Well
I am a Pug lover, and as a pug lover, I have been owned by Pugs since I was Twenty. So, after years of being owned by Pugs, you begin to brag about how wonderful they are and how much fun they can be, as well as how quirky they can be, as well as the energy bursts, the figure-eight poop, the pee trot you see where I'm going with this.

The impossible task of raising a husky
When my my partner and I announced the arrival of our new family member most responses were positive but a few were, well, hesitant. Of all possible dog breeds, why would we choose a husky? They're known for being stubborn, talkative, and very high energy. The easiest answer was "we've both wanted a husky since we were children." My first Nintendog was a husky named Damon, which stood as evidence that our statement was true. The answer people understood less was "all of those things are exactly why we wanted a husky."
