Best Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds
When I was younger, I had a majorly bad allergy dealing with cats — but I loved them. In fact, I was obsessed with them. (I still am, so I like to think of my childhood as a moment of "Crazy Cat Lady" training time.) I wanted a cat so badly, but unfortunately, my allergies prevented it until my parents finally caved in.

This is a list of my observations with my Boston Terrier, Bruin. Mind you, I know some of these traits I can likely break with some hardcore training; however, I wanted you to know first hand, what it has been like so far with this little guy.
A Flipping Good Time
My favourite dive to date wasn’t somewhere exotic and tropical but actually in British waters – the Farne Islands. Anyone who has visited these islands will have seen the large seal colonies that populate the areas and I had the honour of diving amongst these friendly puppy-like creatures.

Mahopac Author and Conservationist Gives Voice to the World’s Big Cats
As a child, animals put Alan Rabinowitz at ease. His misfiring neurons would follow suit and put his stuttering problem at bay. This opened an avenue for just about the only conversations had until he was 19, and yielded common cause with the recipients. The captive connection forged with the jaguars at the Bronx Zoo eventually propelled him to becoming one of the world’s leading big cat experts and author of numerous books. Among them is his latest—The Indomitable Beast.
Rich MonettiPublished 7 years ago in Petlife Is Pet Insurance Worth It?
Pet insurance is one of the most rapidly expanding insurance industries in the world, and many people would swear that pet insurance is definitely worth every penny. In fact, many companies are now offering pet insurance as a perk to employees, too.
Riley Raul ReesePublished 7 years ago in PetlifeWhen Your Cat Inadvertently Tries to Destroy Your Life
I am an owner of a cat called Dante (which my vet tells me is quite a common name for a cat…who knew?!). Well I say I am the owner, however I’m pretty sure Dante owns me. He has managed to manipulate all possible emotions to make me do anything for him. I even want him at my wedding (although my sister says this is a step too far).

Taylor ShipleyPublished 7 years ago in PetlifeA Doggy Love Story
My family has always had a Golden Retriever as our family dog and even bred two of them for several years. Henry was the male and was always "my dog" as a teenager. I always said that one day I would have one of his puppies. For as long as I can remember from us having golden retrievers, I always wanted a puppy of my own when the time was right and I was capable of caring for my own dog independently. Unfortunately; after several litters of puppies, my parent's female dog Lilly was pretty worn out so my parents decided to neuter Henry and stopped breeding the two of them. I was devastated because I was still not in the right place to care for my own dog and I really thought I had missed my chance of having one of Henry's puppies. Shortly after the two stopped breeding, I moved to Dallas for several years and then to Austin, TX. The only dog I ever got to see during that time were on the rare occasions I would visit Henry while staying in East Texas for the holidays.

Most people barely know about regular cat breeds — and have no idea that exotic cat breeds even exist. The truth is that many cat breeds are extremely rare, or are mixed with cats that are found in the jungle.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in PetlifeWhat Does Pet Insurance Cover?
The other day, I had decided to look into pet insurance for my two cats. As luck would have it, pet insurance is a lot more complicated than I thought — and in my case, also was a lot more expensive than I thought it'd be.
Shinji KazumaPublished 7 years ago in Petlife'Flush' by Virginia Woolf
This short biography of Flush by Virginia Woolf is by no means a Disney-fied story of the life of a spaniel. This story is as realistically as possible a record of a dog’s interpretations of and feelings for the world he inhabits and his journey from Three Mile Cross in Berkshire to Florence in Italy without being anthropomorphically sentimental in any way. It is a book for dog lovers and it is a book for those who want to interpret the relationship between people and their dogs.
