We'll Miss You Forever
How do you survive grief? You survive by keeping going. By going with the flow of it. You can’t “get over” grief and loss, or even really move away from it. It’ll always be there, but just change from day to day or week to week, month to month or even year to year. You can be with it, you can cope and deal with it, you can live with it.

Why Do You Prefer a Dog or Cat as a Pet?
"Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense, because they don't; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us." ― Matthew Scully

My “Herb” Garden of Drugs (Cat’s Only!) . Top Story - December 2021.
As I was sitting on a couch on my backyard patio, I noticed the bush that my family calls the “herb garden” was making a loud, rustling sound. The stems were violently moving back and forth as if something was disturbing them. The herb garden, which after many weeks of neglect, took over a significant portion of the back half of my yard and caused the rustling to be a little bit more noticeable. It emitted a strange smell of mint, lavender, and oregano mixed together but was masked by the overgrowth of my catnip plant, shooting out from all sides of the herb garden. I began to worry: What if it was a raccoon passing through, ripping and destroying the seeds I sowed, hoping to find a light snack in my prized garden. A racoon from before has already messed up my tomato plants along with leaving ripped chunks off my catnip plant to rot in the grass. Enough was enough. I looked over and saw a huge wooden stick my brother planned to use to hike with, but as of right now, it was going to be a raccoon herding stick. I grabbed the stick, held it like a katana, and walked slowly over to the bush, preparing for battle. My bare feet softly eased across the soft, green grass.

Stray Dog to the Rescue
I am not a dog person — at least that is what I told myself for 40 years. Growing up, I shared my house with cats. They slept on my bed and kept me company while I was doing homework. When I moved out on my own, one of the first items I got for the new apartment was a cat!
