Rowan MarleyPublished 5 years ago in PetlifeTips and Tricks to Help You with Pet Odor Removal from Upholstery
Animals are cuddly and make our home a place of comfort and joy. But you can’t deny the fact that they have a habit of spreading their odor around the house. Very often, these smells get deeply buried into your mattresses, pillows, furniture, carpets, and other fabric items. Because of their soft material surfaces, these household items have a tendency of collecting oils, urine, grime, dirt, and dander left behind by your pets. It becomes important to maintain your upholstered furniture if you want to ensure it lasts for decades.

Alina GallupePublished 5 years ago in PetlifeAll Dogs Go to Heaven
Hi, I'm Violet. I'm 18-years-old. It's been three years since my American Pit Bull Terrier, Buddy passed away. I was only three-years-old when we got him. He was brought to us by my cousin. She used to live in an apartment and Buddy was owned by a family who abused him. My cousin was going to move out when she decided to take him away. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to have pets at her new home so she immediately looked for someone to keep him. Nobody wanted him. Maybe it was because he was a big dog or maybe a reason as dumb as because of the breed he was. Whatever the reason, I'm honestly unaware. My cousin then asked my mom if we could keep him but we lived in an apartment that also accepted no pets so my mom said no. My mom then realized it was getting harder for my cousin to find him a home and we have always been a family that hates seeing animals at shelters. My mom decided to take him in. She says it was really hard having to hide him from the landlord but we were committed to giving him the loving home he deserved. I'm always told stories about how I used to mess with his floppy ears and lie on him, and all he'd do is simply lay there dealing with it. There's not much more I can say since I was basically a baby at the time but what I can say is, I absolutely loved him from the start. A lot of people were afraid of him just because he was a pit bull.

On Thursday, marine mammal researchers based at the Vancouver Aquarium announced a naming “contest” for a calf who was born to a very well known to both scientists and animal lovers alike by asking the public for ideas on what to name him. The calf, who is known as A116, is the second calf born to a Northern Resident orca named Springer, also known as A73. You see, this little internet-based event is very important to whale researchers in Canada because Springer’s own story is regarded as a great conservation achievement that many thought at the time, was considered to be impossible to pull off. However, with a little help from Vancouver Aquarium’s animal rescue team, Springer’s rescue would go on to become the first of its kind in history.
Jenna DeedyPublished 5 years ago in PetlifeWalking with Rainbow - Feb. 24, 2019
First, let me introduce you to "Rainbow." Rainbow is our 31-year-old—yes 31—coloured pony who has been a part of our family for roughly 29 years. In that time, she has hunted, shown under saddle and in hand, taken part in dressage competitions and of course has hacked out. She has been an absolute monster to ride sometimes. She has taken a hold with me on board a couple of times, put her head almost between her front legs from which there is very little return for the rider and gone off like a two-year old doing a five-furlong sprint. She is a true survivor having been very close to being put to sleep as a result of the dreaded laminitis.
